justin's bass fuzz sounds so much cooler here than on the album

This album will definitely go to number one on the billboard. It's like millions of smack addicts waiting for a hit, and i'm itching like crazy

The sound of bass. ❤️

That riff...the last 36 seconds...makes you want to change shapes and scale the walls...GOD I can't wait.

Makes me feel cold and alive. Massive chills. This is better than the album, so real and perfect

Tool has changed my life!

holy shit, it's happening boys.

Just bought myself a little present. If it wasn't for the inspiration I've gotten from Tool's music, I wouldn't have landed my dream job and been able to afford something like this. I owe it to Tool, they owe me nothing. Can't wait!

Love the mellow and relaxing beginning. Fits well with my some of my favorites which are Intension, disposition, and reflection

We traveled from Mexico to attend the Chicago Clinic. Worth every dollar... It's an honor to be a TOOL Fan!

Raised on Zeppelin & The Beatles, my father scoffed when I told him in 1991 that TooL would change the history rock & roll. Still blowing my mind to this very day, my pops would occasionally call to tell me of a new rock song he liked. Not so long ago, he said he ‘really liked that TooL song on the radio “Shedding Skin”. With a giggle I replied ‘yeah pop, that’s a good one’, knowing that many years later that he had realized the greatness we all heard many years ago.

Yes yes yes! Finally the masterpiece is almost coming alive🔥

Can't wait to hear what this song becomes on the album. They we're playing the intro to 10,000 days back in 2002 and it evolved into an amazing song

I CANT WAIT, SO READY

So stoked for this album

The last picture of the whole group photo. Right above Danny’s ride in the black shirt, dats me. Greatest day I’ve ever had in memory. They are so nice and down to earth.

Finally!!! Light at the end of this dark tunnel !!! Love that bass!!!🖤

I NEED NEW TOOL NOW!!!!!!!

I dont mind waiting, I will be listening to this album for the rest of my life.

Damn, this version of descending sounds great. Can't wait to hear the full release!

I love them so much I'm crying right now

Can't wait to hear this song in full

Just release the goddamn album guys

I would be psyched but alas I live in East St.Louis Illinois. Hope some day I could hit up Chicago or somewhere in Indy to see them that would be awesome! Much love from the STL, ultra hyped for the new album.

Bought my ticket for Chicago, so hyped!

Que emoción!!!!!! Esperamos con ansias más magnífica musica💓 desde Chile

I am so goddamn jealous! Holy crap. This greatly improved audio gives me massively epic vibes.

While listening to this I got cold chills thinking about future me listening to the new Tool album for the first time.

I really like this. I'm so happy the guys are doing this. Its like the song Reflection and Third Eye had crazy sexy and this baby!!!!

..so good to see you once again...

AL FIN!!!!!! Por fin quise escuchar en este momento!!!!

Wings For Marie part 3.

Sample of Tool music clinic: "So we play a note, then play every other note and rhythm combination next and discuss as a group which ones we liked and didn't like. Then we take a week of meditation on that note and reconvene. Then we move onto the next note and yadda, yadda, yadda 15 years later you have an album."

I've never been more upset that I don't have an extra $2000 lying around.

Please, release your stuff on Spotify! Can't wait for the album!

This shit kills me. Seriously I don't think it's normal to have this much inherent, pure love for a band. Tools music, the feelings that are automatically sprung from my souls core...from beyond my knowledge of my time on Earth. .I swear to god, it's not normal. The genuine fear of something sounding and feeling so fucking beautiful...it scares me. Mixed with anticipation, joy, wonder, yet fear. Fear of being so touched to the core of my soul ..tragic beauty.

Sounds amazing chills

Looking back on this now, it was Descending all along!

Yo, all my Europe bois, who is hyped for the album and finally for tours?

please come back to the idaho center!!! we

This will probably be the final tool album they wait another 11 years too make another album Maynard would be 65 years old!!! Shits crazy but hell I’d still go see him!!! Plan on seeing em for a fourth time this year or next and you can count on that 🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻

I won’t have the time or money to get to any of these, but I’d like to clarify a couple of grievances I’m reading. Unofficially, of course. The band owes you nothing. If you don’t want to pay $500 to interact, hear new sounds, get memorabilia etc, don’t. It’s a limited smaller gathering to allow for Q&A and will help the band offset some upcoming distribution/tour/lighting/gear expenses. Keep in mind they haven’t been garnering much attention and revenue in the last several years. So these exclusive gatherings will help provide some forward momentum for the band and for fans alike. This band has been built on the element of surprise and mystery. I’m glad they haven’t been putting out half-done mixes of their newer material. It will make the album that much more special and the impact less fragmented. Instead of recognizing snippets of familiarity taken out of context of the entire song/album, the band chooses to withhold the totality to maximize the impact of the final presentation. In a music climate full of sound bites, gimmicks and click-bait, I can appreciate that decision. TOOL write songs that unravel slowly and demand patience. This translates into their entire process of gathering ideas, writing, preparing a live performance, and presenting all of that to the listener. Always keep in mind that they owe you nothing. Be thankful they’re still doing this and support them in whatever capacity you feel is appropriate.

I find it funny that I heard Tool for the first time at 12 years old when 10,000 Days came out and here I am at 24 still waiting for the next release. Literally half of my life has been spent waiting for this album.

Maynard can take all the time he needs. I find it more than music. I have been given eyes that see nothing but possibilitys.

eyes watered, chills,goosebumps, hair on my neck standing on end...yep it's Tool

Descending sounds further along in its development. Keep it comin! See you at the Columbus clinic.

Still listen to this daily

Gee wizz when that madly distorted bass kicked it my ring hole self lubricated, sounding heavy my dudes. Can not wait!

I am so fucking hyped now. Tool have been my favorite band ever since I was a kid and I'm happy to be alive for at least one more album. :)

omfg i choked

This sounds awesome, especially that bass. I'd go to the Pittsburgh show if I could afford $500 tickets.

Alabando el gran trabajo de Tool desde Chile!

7 more months everyone. I’m so hyped! Are y’all?

I just realized what you meant in the title. This is the official high quality version of A/Descending! Holy shit! Gonna download this audio from here, NOW!

As hyped as this is, I'm got student loans to pay off. I'll buy the deluxe edition for the album, but I cant drop 500 bucks on a ticket, as cool as that would be to just talk to Jones about art

This is so beautiful...

I swear ive heard this before. Must just be the style. Love it.

I already know what I'm doing the day this album gets released. I'm calling in sick at work and binge-listening to the album all motherfuckin day! Words can't even describe how excited I am for this new album - Tool means so much to me it came to me in a time of desperation and change and it was the perfect music it fit so well with the theme of my life changes.

Oh my!!!! Its true the legends are back and its damn true!!!!!

Wow just wow I missed the tour I only found out about it 4 minutes ago. I hope there's a July tour.

At this point I'm not surpriced if they don't sell out, it's been a long time. But nice to hear somr studio sound finally...

Mas Tool no podia ser el tema laputamadre que zarpado !! aguante

If you are listening to this, know that I have so much love for you in my heart

They've been playing this live since 2014, first as an intro to Schism, then in 2015 as the full version.

I just wanna point out I'm 17 and saw tool live with my mom and it was amazing.

I hope the new album will be available digitally as well

I'm glad I was already sitting on the toilet when I got the notification for this video. ♥️💋♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Hoping some new songs will be played at the upcoming concerts

The recorded version sound amazing

Nothing is worse than someone being the very best at what they do and it going to their head and playing with the hearts of the FANS!Yeah Im talking to you MAYNARD!

Straight to the top of my bucket list...sigh

Still waiting!

If you think $500 for this is steep, I'll share my experience. I was lucky that I could charge the ticket price for this, flight, motel, car, and Monster Mash festival ticket. It was the only real traveling I did in 2015. I had never seen TOOL before. My first exposure was at the Tempe VIP. Two friends and I are in the group picture about 2/3 of the way through this video. You can't get any closer while they perform than at one of these events. They answered a LOT of questions. Autographs, photos, discounted merch, and the groups are small. I've seen TOOL perform 6 times since then. Even so, I do plan to go to one of these again, because it truly is worth it.

Yea!!

I saw tool in '94 for £6 and there was about 200 people there. Plus I met them afterwards.

Seems like it would be pretty badass if I could afford to attend. Unfortunately I'm poor. On a different note: Danny and Justin have always been one of my favorite bass/drums team. Along with Lopez and Mendez from Opeth and Myung and Portnoy from DT.

Can't wait to hear what Maynard's melody is going to sound like on this song.

We will probably be waiting another 5 yrs for this album

This is obviously still just a mixed live recording, but my god the vibes from this give me a good feeling that when this album drops its gonna be along the lines of Lateralus or close to it. If its better than 10,000 days i can die happy.

I'm so ready to drop 3 tabs and go on the journey. ALBUM NOW PLEASE

Sounds somehow like a Krautrock Classic - love it!

What a great way to start the day

This is probably just a demo, but it is so fucking dope, one of the best things ive heard from Tool. Cant wait, god please dont let me die until the album comes out

Amazing.

Aun los esperamos en latinoamerica!!!!

Remember before 10,000 days came out, all there was,was the intro to vicarious to go on. Makes me wonder if this descending is the intro to a song, an intro to the album, descending into a trance, which is what im going to be in when/if i listen to it

ill believe it when I see it ! the new album

October Blue This Year just breezy cold

Plus photo opportunities...with band members. I guessed that, I didn’t think it would just be me taking photos with my mate Steve!

WE HAVE OUR EYE FOR THE ALBUM, BOYS

oh.man ..finally it's on its way.

Sounds pretty good. I would expect as much after a twelve year wait.

And then. It actually happened. And it was glorious.

Got at least a half chub from just seeing how close we are to a new album.

Please come to Canada!!!

*O MY!!! THIS IS GOING HARD!! I DONT CARE HOW MUCH MONEY OR HOW FAR I GOTTA DRIVE OR FLY I WILL BE SEEING TOOL NEXT YEAR AGAIN AHHAHAAJAJAAJAJJAAHAJDKFKFNCJRJNDJIR.*

Yesssss

Well it sounds like something they have done a thousand times before. Still looking forward to it:)

If this is 3:30 of one of the 10 minute songs on the upcoming album then it was worth the 12 year wait. I do hope they actually release the album before I die. I'm not getting any younger here.
