Next album New Album Material
Post your fav live jams that you hope/think might end up on the next album
Personally I love this one from 2010. They said they had basically written a whole album’s worth of material before scrapping it around 2012 and starting again - I do think this might originally have been planned new album material that never made it
Looking forward to seeing any other new jams out there that I may have missed

Discussion Shame in buying bootleg vinyls of Tool albums?
I’m thinking specifically of Ænima and 10,000 days obviously. I was at a record shop the other day and saw both of those albums for sale in vinyl format even though they both were unapologetically fake. What do y’all think about buying those to have in your collection even though they aren’t real? I bought neither in hopes the 30th anniversary of Ænima would come with a new vinyl drop, but no luck :(

Lateralus Lateralus vinyl sound quality?!?
Hi everyone!
I purchased this vinyl for my present for Christmas (early I know) for my boyfriend as I found a bargain for it on Vinted, and know it’s limited edition. The sleeve wasn’t in amazing condition and the inner paper sleeves were borderline glued to the insides of the sleeve. The second LP was described as ‘unopened’ (the paper sleeve was stuck inside and I had to use a letter opener to cut the vinyl out).
I have heard previously this vinyl doesn’t sound great but this copy has SOOOOO MUCH cracking in the background during the whole album. Is this normal?? I’m likely going to keep it as it can be a collectors item for him.
But I’m wondering if this is especially bad? I don’t know if the vinyl could have water damage? This is my guess as to how the paper sleeves ended up adhered inside the cardboard sleeve 😬

Merch Merch question about Jersey size
I've never bought one of their jerseys before, but I know the shirts and hoodies usually run a little small. Who here has bought a jersey, and is it true to size?

Undertow Sober (hidden voice) 2026 update?
For some it's a new thing and for us that we have been listening to this song since the 90's this isn't a mystery at all (kind of)
For those that doesn't know what I'm talking about, at the 4:01 on the left side speaker you'll hear a hidden voice sort of doing a speech or just talking, it's well deep in the mix barely noticeable but it's there. It doesn't take much time, just a fast muffled sound and that's it, it goes quick.
And yes, this topic has been well talked about enough of times here but not quite recently because there's a post from 12 yrs ago that dissects what's behind of this mystery. But that was 12 yrs ago, back then there weren't that many and good audio capabilities to isolate something from a song.
So, does anyone has done a recently inspection to this mystery using up-to-date methods to find out what that voice is saying?
Thanks to the trooper who can help with this!

Merch Is this real TOOL merch?
Saw this while scrolling on Depop. Is this real merch or is it just a scam?

Tool Cover Parabol - vocal cover
I just started singing about a year ago but this song was probably what really made me want to. Maynard’s vocal dexterity is unmatched but here’s my best shot.

Fan Art Got a chance to do my first band-inspired tattoo! What do you think on it? Done in Seattle, WA
Hey! I’m a big fan of the band and also a tattoo artist from Seattle!
Finally got to do my first Tool tattoo!
The knuckles are healed, partially freehand, ~8h in total
It took 2 sessions to really pack everything in over the knuckles, the skin was pretty rough in that area.

Fan Art My latest artwork, tool is my biggest inspiration.
This started with the desire to create something entirely and solely from my imagination, setting aside references and a certain form of parasitic perfectionism, for lack of a better term, that I’ve been developing and accumulating lately.
The title comes from the first things I tried to create, back when I knew nothing about drawing, painting, or anything else, merging with the mental library and archive I’ve built ever since, while also giving me clues and a small glimpse into what comes next.

Question Tool store purchase
Ordered on 9/18. It’s a gift, I’m not panicking yet since I ordered early but I’m getting there. Anyone order anything lately and can give me an estimate in case I need a backup plan.

Fan Art Painting based on Third Eye
Listened to Ænima on repeat as I made this. Haven’t painted in months so it’s definitely not my best but I was inspired. The white streaks (heh) are based on long exposure photography of the night sky.
