During a recent interview with Revolver, members of Tool discussed their plans for new music. Interestingly, drummer Danny Carey said the possibility of doing an “Undertow” type of album is “kind of appealing.”
Bassist Justin Chancellor said the following:
“It’ll be different this time. Everyone’s life is different, and everyone’s expectations are different. Time is precious now, so you try and look for ways to be more efficient with the process. We’ve had a lot of discussion about that and how we can bring a new record to fruition in a slightly different way.”
Carey continued:
“Our filter system is pretty intense. If it gets by the four of us in the band, then we figure it’s going to work. It’s a really painstaking process that we go through to finish [an album], and get it where we are all completely convicted. It pays off in the long run because we never really get tired of performing our songs. It gives rise to a vehicle that we can all believe in.”
The potential direction of it remains undecided as well, as Carey stated, “Who knows? It could flip-flop and we could just go back to doing an ‘Undertow” [type of] record. That’s kind of appealing to me. I always like change, whatever direction it goes.”
He also added:
“We’re free agents now. We aren’t signed to a label anymore. We are free to do whatever we want.”
