Amber (a hardcore Tool fan) forwarded these notes from Maynard James Keenan. Good news, yes?

Meanwhile, Alternative Nation reports that Tool has had some friends into the studio to have a listen to completed music tracks.

Sebastian Bach was among the visitors and had a picture taken standing next to an ancient EMU modular synth. Is Tool using this thing on the album?

Heavy time yesterday w 3/4 of #TOOL & Buzz from the #Melvins ! Can only imagine the power vocals of @mjkeenan on top of this brutally Majestic sound.
