Why would a band travel the world promoting a fake album?


I think the basis of the theories are that the songs leaked on the net are just b-sides and throwaways from previous CDs. I also heard the intro from "Wings for Marie" from a live concert in 2002 so that opening has been around for quite some time. Which doesn't mean they necessarily had the song back then, maybe they had that intro and decided to finally use it in a song.

They wouldn't go around the world promoting a fake album, supposedly the REAL album will hit the stores on May 2nd and everyone will gasp and say "Oh my God they pulled a fast one on us!" Everyone but the enlightened bullshit artists who are spreading the conspiracy about the "decoy" release.

Oh yeah, and Amazon.com doesn't list the track titles yet either.

Someone I know who was at the listening parties confirms that this is indeed the album they heard :)

The theory says that the parties were bullshit too. I honestly hope the theories are true...that way we get TWO CDs. =)

I thought the listening parties were a joke?


The bottom line is it's virtually impossible for a band to pull this off unless they plan on not selling their new CD in the stores. They ship a b-sides CD out to the stores and only offer the "real" cd as a download from their website or some shit like that. Once they decide to sell that CD, it has to go through distribution channels, and once it does that it gets leaked. Which is what happened here.

when has a major album leak not been the same as the real album?? BS


That's exactly what the conspiracy guys would have you believe. That Tool is so far ahead of other rock groups that they could possibly pull off what no other band has ever done.

it's the album. people are fucking idiots. i hope this album does turn a lot of people off from Tool.


Just goes to show you that you can create a conspiracy theory about ANYTHING and you'll have a ton of people jump on board and want to believe. The beauty with this is, unlike other conspiracy theories that go on for years and years, we only have to wait 10 more days before those guys look like assholes.

i agree... im listening to it now and am on the 4th track and it sounds tight to me... sounds a lot like some of their older stuff from undertow. i myself found lateralus boring and hopes this album shaves some of the fanboys off of the herd.

Unless the members of Tool reacted to the enthusiam of fans to the fake album and decided to postpone the release of the real album until Saturn is approximately 5438072397, the number of inane Tool theories on the Internet at any given time, kilometres from earth.
 
If that shit about taking a year to make a decoy album is actually true I have new found respect for one of the best bands ever. That's just so insane it may be true.

Also, to be a conspiracy theory the "truth" must never be able to be verified. In what, 10-12 days, we will see. So we need to start calling this shit something else, like insane ramblings from over zealous fans. Yeah I know that sounds like a conspiracy theory, but its not IMO.

how about "excuses from fanboys because the new album did not live up to the hype they poured on it"
 
By far the best version of the lyrics to Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned:


Nurse: Excuse me, Doctor? if you have a moment?
Doctor: A moment, what's the question?
Nurse: More of a situation. A gentlemen in exam room three.
Doctor: What's the problem?
Nurse: That is the problem, we're not sure.
Doctor: Do you have the chart?
Nurse: Right here.
Doctor: Not much there is there.
Nurse: No Doctor, no obvious physical trauma, vitals are stable.
Doctor: A name?
Nurse: No sir.
Doctor: Did someone drop him off? Maybe he'll speak to them, lets get some background on his file.
Nurse: No ID, nothing. And he won't speak to anyone.
Doctor: Well then, let's say hello.
Doctor: Good morning, i'm Doctor Lawson. How are you today?
Doctor: How are you today?
Doctor: Look son, you're in a safe place. We want to help you in whatever way we can.
Doctor: But you need to talk to us. We can't help you otherwise.
Doctro: What's happened? tell me everything.


Rosetta Stoned: (Tough one.)

Alrighty then,
Picture this if it will:

Began at 2 am and i fueled eating up an entire box of krispy kremes and i might eat enough/it up
as i saw area 51, contemplating the multitudes of the most flaming stuff ive ever seen
and then it ripped the sky wide open, and ive never seen a place like this
i do believe i punctured or died or something within my birkenstocks holy fucking shit.

Wachen Sie Auf (wake up, in german)
Wachen Sie Auf (wake up, in german)
Wachen Sie Auf (wake up, in german)
Wachen Sie Auf (wake up, in german)

Then the x-files people who were in some kind of blurry jetship ?? breath ?
my bug eyes my gaping jaw and my upper upper lip and all I could think was
I won't complain or I might lose my fucking pants.

So alive in this way like an aborigine he had me crying out.
Fuck me.
Suck me.
Deadhead.
Chemistry.
?? On top of me.
?? Fucking T.

And after calming me down with some orange slices and some fetal spooning
the ET revealed to me his singular purpose he said you are the chosen one
the one who will deliver the message, a message of hope for those who will
should choose to hear it and a warning for those who do not.

Me, the chosen one.
They chose me, and I didn't even graduate from fucking high school.

Choke back.
Choke back.
Choke back.
You'd better listen.

Then he looked right through me.
With somniferous almond eyes.
Don't even know what that means.
But remember to write it down.
This is so real.
Like the time they floated away.
Still my heart is burning.
Cause this shit never happens to me.

I can't breathe right now.

It was so real
Like I woke up in Wonderland
It was a bit terrifying
I don't wanna be all alone
When I tell the story
and can anyone tell me why ?
I listen to the peanuts parents?
Will I ever be coming down.
This is so real.
Finally it's my lucky day.
See my heart is racing.
This shit never happens to me.

I can't breathe right now.

You believe me don't you?
Please believe what I just said.
See the telling children,
And this wasn't all in my head.
See their gonna be holding my hand.
And they're gonna be right here
Then they showed me something.
I don't even know where to begin.

Strapped down on my bed.
Feet cold and eyes red.
I'm out my head.
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Can't remember what they said.
God damn, I shit the bed.

High.

Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position.
Such a heavy burden now to be, the one.
For to bear and write you all the details of our ending.
To write it down for all the world to see.
But I forgot my pen.
Shit the bed again... typical.

Strapped down on my bed.
Feet cold and eyes red.
I'm out of my head.
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Sunkist and sudafed.
Gyroscopes and infrared
Won't help the brain dead.
Can't remember what they said.
God damn, I shit the bed.

I can't remember what they said, to me.
Can’t remember what they said to make me out to be a hero.
I can't remember what they said.

Can’t remember what they said.

Don't know, won't know, don't know, won't know, don't know, won't know.....
God damn, I shit the bed
 
I work at Barnes and Noble and we normally get the new releases for Tuesday in on the Friday before. So I will know what the hell is up on the 28th. I hope it's a double disc. Or a CD-DVD set.

I wnat to believe.

I doubt it is a double disc. Pricing is already out on this album. Tower Records is taking preorders online for $9.99. Unless of course Tower Records is in on the hoax. Regardless I will expect you to post here with your findings next Friday.
 
We should know for sure before that, since it comes out in Australia on the 29th.
So, in theory, we should know around the 25th or so when they get to stores.
 
It's so funny that people think this is a decoy or something, now I believe a lot of things but I'm sorry this is just ridiculous. Why won't people accept the new album? It's kicking my ass!

People are stupid. They'd rather invest time coming up with retarted theories instead of LISTENING to the new album. They'll all be suiciding soon enough.

:lol

"A wave of suicides washed all over the nation today. Experts believe it has something to do with a newly released album from a rock band. More at eleven."

Well, I just want this to be a decoy so I can get more Tool. To be honest, I think it's probably the most insulting thing you could say to the band to call this a decoy.
 
I wish the album was out right now so all of the posers who think it is a decoy would just hate the album and won't be competing with me for tickets this weekend.
 
The only band that would be able to pull off a "decoy" album on the internet would be Super Furry Animals, because noone gives a fuck about them and wouldn't even notice the CD was leaked.

But just think, the upcoming official release might just be a second decoy, and we'll have to wait until June for the real CD!

so true:lol
 
:lol a decoy album

it would be pretty awesome if that were true. 2 tool albums in 1 year :D

p.s. the beginning of Lost Keys reminds me of the beginning of You Lied from salival
 
this is what happens when keeping it real goes wrong, maynard you moron. these sheep mongoloid motherfuckers shouldn't have had "think for yourself" shoved up their ass through their ears into their brains THEY CAN*T HANDLE IT FOR FUCKS SAKE heh. goddamnit toolnavy sucks ass.

oh yeah, the album is awesome. rosetta stoned <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
 
fallout said:

No shit. Tool puts their all into this, and within a day most of their fans brush it off as a hoax or fake album.
If I was in Tool I'd say go fuck yourselves.
 
So now that Tool is back together and there's no more APC to slow them down, I think we will be getting new Tool every year or so. Where did I get this, you ask? Right out of my GOD DAMNED ASS.

Here's hoping, anyway. :D
 
oh yeah, apc. anyone got links to news of what happened there or the lowdown? someone told me just today apc is no more or something to that effect. I had no idea
 
In all honesty, it probably does bode well for the next Tool album, with the APC news, timewise I mean. I really doubt it'll take ~5 years again for a new album.
 
Joseph Merrick said:
come on come on what is the apc news buttfuckinggoddamnit ?

I think I read it back in this thread somewhere (?) but if I remember correctly, Maynard all but confirmed that the band was done. I'm really not sure of the details though.

Edit: Mute's on it.
