TOOL have announced the final track listing of their new album, "10,000 Days", due on May 2 via Volcano. The 77-minute, 11-song prog-metal odyssey, which is said to be "packed with plenty of eight minute-plus twisted riff-a-thons, odd-tempo polyrhythms and the band's trademark, eerie interludes" (according to Kerrang! magazine), is the follow-up to 2001's "Lateralus", which debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 and has sold 2.3 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

"10,000 Days" track listing:

01. Vicarious
02. Jambi
03. Wings For Marie (Pt 1)
04. 10,000 Days (Wings Pt 2)
05. The Pot
06. Lipan Conjuring
07. Lost Keys (Blame Hofmann)
08. Rosetta Stoned
09. Intension
10. Right In Two
11. Viginti Tres

As previously reported, TOOL will play their first U.S. show since late 2002 when it headlines the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival on April 30 in Indio, Calif. No other U.S. dates have been confirmed.

Afterward, TOOL will spend the first portion of the summer playing the European festival circuit, with dates on tap through July 9 at Finland's Turku Festival.

Thats why Tool f***s with their fans.
The titles ARE irrelevant, so in light of that, Tool are telling the media and obsessed fans that the title shares half of it's name with Disturbed's "10,000 Fists" and that they have a song called "The Pot"....

My guess is that there is a code(Rosetta Stoned) somewhere in these fake ones to clue everyone in to the nature of the album or perhaps even the true titles...."Right in Two" and "Viginti Tres" (translaste to two three)....I dunno.....Theres something there....Tool will let more info slip whenever (If ever) they feel like it.

I just want to spend an afternoon with this album and have nothing else to do.

titles are irrelevant, sure. but i'd still rather listen to a tool album named something cool than the same album named 10K Days.

if there's a code, i'm not awesome enough to find it. but i share your confidence that the song, and hopefully album titles will change (a number of times in the next seven-ish weeks, probly).

may 2 - that's going down on my calendar, i'll skip lectures and tutors and all that bullshlt uni crap and love my life for a day. it'll be amazing. trust me.

Tool have always delivered when it comes to content....

Album titles have all been dark, clinical or cryptic...Opiate, Undertow, AEnima, Salival and Lateralus.

Song titles have been strange (H, Hooker w/a p***s, Aenima, 46 and 2) sexual (Prison Sex, Stinkfist) and even comical (Message to Harry Manback 1 and 2, Die Eir Von Satan) with Tool you have to expect anything......

But 10,000 days is a very odd place to go from Lateralus.....Even if this album is to be more in the style of Undertow and Aenima than the helter skelter prog-haziness of Lateralus...it just stinks of a another gag from Tool.....

Maybe the joke is that their serious.....meh, these names wont stand...I'd even bet on it.

The names seem kind of simple for what Tool usually does but who knows. I remember reading that this album was going to be somewhat political and "10,000 Days" is the name of a book about the Vietnam War...I dunno whether or not these are the real names you guys should just stop b****ing because you know you're going to buy the album anyways.

just glad Tool is back, they have indeed been greatly missed. it's true they often release fake song/album titles in an effort to deter leaks and keep the album somewhat shrouded in mystery (remember how excited everyone was to download the new track off Lateralus called "Pain Canal"?) but you guys are right, who cares? Tool's putting out another album!!!!!!!!!

also someone spoke of a myriad which in mathematical translation is 10 to the fourth power or 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 which equals....drumroll...10,000...the new album is not 10,000 days but yet a more suitable one that speaks only for tool...i will say that the new album title has a loose meaning of being able to burn people with what comes out of your mouth...that will not help anyone figure out the title and i'm sure the band would be more vague than that... _ g n _ v _ m _ _ s....there you go buy a vowel or 2 or 3 or 4...and enjoy straining your brain trying to figure this one out

Ignivimous.....

Vomiting fire.
In 1721, a member of the Royal Society of London, Thomas Forster of Boston, wrote The World alarm’d. A surprizing relation of a New Burning Island lately raised out of the Sea near Tercera; with a brief history of the other ignivomous mountains at this day in the world.
He might instead have called it a volcano, since that word had been in the language for a century by then—a work of 1669 by the German Jesuit Athansius Kircher was entitled The Vulcano’s or Burning and Fire-vomiting Mountains, Famous in the World: with their Remarkables (the apostrophe in “volcano’s” would give modern copy editors a momentary spasm, but it was common then, because the word seemed foreign and odd).
Ignivomous has a splendid ring to it, even better than in its exact French equivalent ignivome. It was a favourite word of Jules Verne and that’s why it appears in several of his translated works, including The Field of Ice, in which it describes the volcano that the intrepid explorers of the story found, in defiance of known geography, at the North Pole: “This enormous ignivomous rock in the middle of the sea was six thousand feet high, just about the altitude of Hecla.”
The word comes from Latin ignis, meaning fire, plus vomere, to vomit. Note that it’s pronounced with the stress on the second syllable.

Interesting Wil....Even if this is just a rumor or a concoction it speaks to me much more than the title Tool are using now....especially based on what little I've read about the album content wise.

If indeed this is the truth what on Earth made you come to a random metal site to hint at this?....Thanks in advance if it turns out to be true.

Number 1,2,6,9,10,and 11 seem they could be legit. But, I agree with most- '10,000 Days' is too simple. I think it's sh**. Track titles I stated seem they could 'fit' on a Tool album. I'm almost 100% sure 'The Pot' and 'Rosetta Stoned' is a joke. I'm not sure about the album really...if it stays the way it is(title,songs,ect.) it just won't feel 'Toolish' but hey it's not about the names is it? It's about how damn good the music is, and I'm sure it will satisfy all fans.

I do agree that Tool may end up changing the title of the Album. That is definately something they would do, especially to keep everyone guessing until the last minute. Im not too sure on the names of the songs. I mean some of them sound reasonable, but 'Rosetta Stoned"? Hmmmmmmmm...............If it is legit Im sure that it has nothing to do with drugs. An intersting fact on that is the "Rosetta Stone" was a text written by a group of priests in Egypt to honour the Egyptian pharaoh. It lists all of the things that the pharaoh has done that are good for the priests and the people of Egypt. It was written in two languages, using three scripts so that the priests, government officials and rulers of Egypt could read what it said. I dont know if there is any connection, but I think the title is deeper then what it appears to be. I mean we have seen them have some pretty unusual song titles such as 'Hooker with a p***s' and 'Swamp song' and look at what they ended up being. Anyway-no matter what the title of the names of the songs I am just thrilled to have a new album coming from them and am counting down the days!!!!!!!!

Bands that have been mistaken for Tool include A Perfect Circle(for obvious reasons), early Chevelle, 10 years and Earshot...Other than APC these frontmen sing in the key of Maynard but lack both the range, attitude and vocabulary.
The songs are too cookie cutter and often nu-metalish....At this point you "know" tool when you hear it because it sounds nothing like anything that it popular....To this day no popular rock radio song has been as strange in so many ways as "Schism".

Theres just alot of copycat singers.

i've been prematurely downloading some new tool stuff, i'll warn you, it's a completely different tool in many parts of the album. i dont really have an opinion as to better or worse than before, but its just unusual. try limewire and search 10,000 days under album and tool under artist and you'll get almost the whole album.

I imagine the most un-Tool sounding titles are in themselves part of an elaborate hint at that pokes through the facade of the annual April fools prank, which ofcourse is all the lies Toolband.com is feeding the media and fans......Rosetta Stoned, Lost Keys, The Pot there is absolutely no way these songs are legitimate......Even 10,000 days sounds an Offspring song title....or was that 1,000 days....I dunno...anyway.

I'm gonna sit tight and wait...By early May everything should be official...It's going to be a long 30-something days....

This is adding onto andrew's comment. If you want a laugh go and try and download these tracks. one sounds like a redneck sitting on the porch strumming a banjo. one track has a guy and a girl making odd noises, imagine someone saying OIUE OIUE OIUE OIUE OIUE for about 3 minutes. Another just sounds like some sad tool wanabe band composed of some 16 yearold suburban kids. theres another acoustic toilet log with bongos. Theres one that sound like it could be tool but it just doesnt quite seem "tool". Another one has the same feel to it but definitely you wont get away with not waiting for the CD.
