Thanks, Dan. Seems like a money grab. Love the band and music but really? I just want the music and I would prefer it in compact disc.

Apparently it's a problem. Demand is too high or something. Here's an article about it.

Ehh maybe, but I think it's more that the demand is way higher than anyone expected. Tool never really seemed like the type to really care all that much about the money.

You may be right. I was really commenting on the description of the CD. Seemed like a major production.

You are right though in regards to the history of the band. They really haven't appeared to be about the money.

I was just reading that same article. What I first noticed and questioned is the fact the CD has a video screen complete with speakers. What in the world?

So maybe the price isn’t that high since it sounds like the MSRP would be higher than normal anyway.

Still the thought of a physical CD being sold out in today’s music environment is pretty cool.

[Ben Staad]

I agree. It is pretty cool.

I'm just pissed that I don't already have a copy on order.

Big fan of the band for the better part of my life.

In your defense, it has been what, 13 years since an album came out? You probably just forgot.

Be safe to anyone near the impact of Hurricane Dorian.

It seems like I cannot pre-order the new CD from Tool without a massive second hand up-sale. Anyone have an idea...Am I missing something?

I don't know if you saw this, but they just made "a small additional quantity" available. The price is $45.98 plus $10.00 shipping.

Thanks! Bad timing for me but I do appreciate the thought.

CJ Tudor, Bentley Little, and Tom Deady walk into a bar . . . and I have no idea how the rest of the joke goes because I leave that bar and vow never to return as I get drunk at home.

ALSO I am in a particularly salty mood because I was inspecting my Grant AGE of Little Sisters of Eluria and the book is falling apart! The spine is actually concave and the book doesn't open properly. I swear I only have these problems with my Grant editions. My Wind Through the Keyhole binding is detached from the spine and my Black House page block is detached from the tail band. These books are falling to pieces.

I have heard that about Grant books many times.
