They even have the audacity to say "first LP in 13 years".
 
Where is it? Where is the damn LP?

I am gonna' go out on a limb and guess that the general Tool fanbase is neither surprised nor stoked with this drop.  FB comment sections and Reddit, especially, are riddled with comments from users trying to champion for vinyl reissues.  Like it's the prevalent ask with the most likes, sub-comments, and attention.  (Outside of, maybe, tour demands.)  Anyone in the band or affiliated with their social media can instantly recognize the demand.  They're either trolling the shit out of their fans or just unfathomably lazy, at this point.
 
I do wonder what will become of that "deluxe packaging" posted on the last page, with whatever it may be.  Even if it's a jumbo hardcover book to house some CDs, I was expecting something music-related to get released in the store today.  Silly assumption on my end, I know.

When I scrolled down and saw the album cover with "LP", I thought that was surely it! But nope...

Almost time for the disappointment.

Someone posted this screenshot from Adam Jones' IG on the VinylReleases reddit:
 

It'd be nice to get pumped on that timer... but if this band has taught us anything, it's that you don't get hyped on their announcements or teasers for announcements.  I would love to be a pessimist and have them prove me wrong.  Truly.  The fact they've overhauled the web store and appear to be using a new merch distributor is very promising, but this shit will be new hoodies at best or perhaps a livestream announcement.  Wish they'd take a note from MBV and accept that their shit is OOP, desirable, and a surefire sale on vinyl.  Releasing everything like MBV is – no frills, no $100 lenticular box, no slipmat + keychain + vape pen combo.  Just a quality vinyl press on black wax in some tip-on jackets or something.  Sell it all in a bundle and call it a day so we can enjoy them and die happy.  Can't wait to instead be disappointed tomorrow morning, I guess.  Cruel world.

New single!
Can the Bronx ever do wrong?!
Song is absolutely bangin'!
 
 

*** UPDATE ***   Just got my delivery!!! of course the LP didn't show but I did receive the "White Shadow" 7" and the box plus other stuff. Here's a pic!
 

Just arrived! It’s pretty stunning in person.. Also very well and professionally packaged, there’s not a single dent anywhere. 

There is no white vinyl version.  It's a listing mistake.

Yeah, I figured you'd prefer US but if all else fails they're still in stock over here.  I think even Amazon UK still has it.

My indie copy from Bullmoose was black vinyl. It arrived yesterday

"I'm gonna keep my voice out of this as much as possible"
Proceeds to talk through the whole thing.
 
Also, how the fuck can you do an unboxing and not take out any of the records. Not even the ones with the etchings.

I might need to grab the indies if it's on white vinyl but I've looked at my usual go to sites and can't see any mention of it.

You can’t see the warps when it’s hanging on the wall.

Nah don’t worry, I got mine from the runoutgroove web store instantly and there wasn’t a web store exclusive

I’ll have you know, my wife won’t let me hang any of my vinyIs on the wall, so I’m forced to actually listen to them. Ugh.
