Tool has provided 10,000 updates since 2006’s 10,000 Days about their next album. It has also been a running joke as we’ve seen countless memes on the internet while anxiously waiting for new music to drop. Somehow, Google got involved as well and confused fans stating that the new record arrived, which turned out to be a rapper with the same name. While we’ve heard each track will be over ten minutes and Maynard James Keenan pleading to his bandmates to finish their parts, it is starting to look promising that their upcoming LP will arrive in 2019.
Last night (10th), Keenan offered an update via Twitter, stating:
“Update- Scratch Vox tracked awhile ago. AJ deep in Guitars now. Final Vox after. Step back. Adjust. Mix. Adjust. Re-Adjust. Master. Adjust. Re-Adjust. Long Way 2 Go But Much Closer. #TOOL #2019”

Despite every update we’ve seen, this one could be legit.
