Speaking to Rolling Stone, Tool's Adam Jones and Danny Carey talked about why it has taken so long for their band's new album to arrive. Jones said, "The fans are pissed at us. And while part of me is selfish and goes, 'I'm not necessarily doing it for them,' it's time that they understand what's going on." The band have been involved in a lawsuit with an artist since 2007 and legality issues have halted the band a bit. The trial is set to begin in January after a series of setbacks. As far as what the songs they have demoed sound like, Carey said, "It's all a little more 'metal' sounding, if I may. I'm having fun drumming on it. There is one other song [beyond the 10-minute tune] that I would say is pretty much there. It's another one that's pretty gnarly with some good double-kick [drumming] going on in it." Carey then continued, ""I'm hoping that we have something really solid recorded by the end of the year. But we'll see how it goes. I thought that last year, too. But we're making great progress. We've really knocked out a lot of good things, especially over the last month. We're all excited about it." Jones added, "It's not good when it's done, it's done when it's good. We've been working at our own pace, but we don't want to put out something and go, 'This song's fine, just put it out.' I'm never gonna put something out where later, I go, 'Fuck, I wish we hadn't done that.' We're just not going to settle for doing anything but our best work, and the fans appreciate that."
