According to a fan on Reddit who attended a recent VIP meet and greet/Q&A with the band’s guitarist Adam Jones in Salt Lake City, UT, Tool are only happy with five new songs they have written so far. The fan, who goes by the Reddit handle of D1g1talS0ul, in part said of his experience:
“I learned a lot of insight about the band from the Q&A with Adam. There was 150 of us in a room with him and it felt very personable. He played for us, talked about he and Justin play off each other to create a 5/7 rhythm. Played a riff that’ll be on the new album. Said they had enough music for two albums but only 5 meet their (tools) standard right now. Adam, Justin and Danny are in the studio 1PM-4PMish I think he said Tuesday-Thursday. Once 90% of the instrumentals are there Maynard comes into write (that’s how Maynard likes to work).”
The fan also provided an detailed schedule of the VIP event as well, lending some credibility to his comments. But as it is, you should probably take it with a grain of salt while you’re at it, cause this is the internet and all.
