i can't believe those idiots on the toolnavy.com board are still complaining about the artwork and the legitimacy of all of this

[Mad Maynard]

   The question I'm pondering is: Does the Tool logo say "Tool" or "Fool"? The truth is out there!

Haha, looks like it says Fool

[Chrisbo]

Aye my mate said that earlier and I lynched him hehe!

[Fireal1222]

no way. that artwork is too amazing to be fake



but then again, look at that fake deftones self titled. THAT WAS AMAZING, and a fan made it

[deftonekid]

tool or fool, i dont care is a great artwork

[Crazylegs]

Fool, that name was actually kinda cool. (just like the rhyme i just made up)

[deftonekid]

haha yeah cool rhyme

[sleeptraveler]

To be honest, it's a bit...eh.  Predictable.  Was kindof hoping for something more interesting.  I will save final judgement until I can see the entire inlay.

new post from Blair on toolband.com:

Some of you may have seen the album mini for Tool's 10,000 Days on Amazon and on other sites that was posted ONE DAY after we showed it to you on this site (which is what we expected, and why we posted it when we did). Now that it's out there for all to see, hopefully some of you who have been asking what exactly an album mini is might have a better idea. For those who still don't know, it's what a business (such as Amazon) uses to advertise a new product (such as the new Tool CD). Okay? Now, I can hear some of you saying to yourself: "But why does the image on Amazon and the other sites have the logo and album title superimposed over the artwork... when the image on the Tool websites doesn't?" The answer is quite simple. Because Amazon and others need to include the band's name and album title along with the artwork so that potential customers will know whose CD it is (don't ask me why). With that said, the image that we posted on the Tool websites is how this piece of artwork will actually look with the packaging. However, we also wanted to give you a look at the new logo, so we placed it above the album mini. Okay? Just one last thing for now: I've been reading many of the comments on the TA message board (as well as those flooding my in-box) about this particular piece of cover art, and I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate some of your personal thoughts and perceptive insight into the symbology and deeper levels of the striking imagery. It seems that a few of you (those who have commented on the artwork) are also anticipating 'the bigger picture' – that which you've become accustomed to over the years when it comes to Tool's art direction. Well, to you, I will only say that you will not be disappointed... and that the key is right there before your very eyes.

that last part, about anticipating 'the bigger picture' and the key is right before our eyes.... it makes me start thinking that this may be a hoax after all. I'm still not deciding on anything and just wait for it to come out (or for April 1st when SOMETHING will be revealed).
