Tool
I like what he had to say.
“We’re always on an experimental path,” Jones started.
“We never think about what worked on the last record or what’s good on the radio right now. It’s a selfish process. We just go in there with some riffs. We experiment and the riffs start to take a different path and over time. This riff from last week might go really well with this riff from two years ago. We piece stuff together, almost like a film soundtrack, you know? But I’ll tell you this — there’s a lot of stuff in 7/4. Breaking up 7 can sound like an even number to the listener even though it’s an odd number, that’s really exciting. ‘Rosetta Stoned’ had some elements of that where we had a middle break and the end rhythm of 7 against 5. It kinda opens up a whole can of worms!”
He concluded:
“There’s some really light stuff going on but there’s also a lot of heavy stuff in there too.”

All I know is if it takes another three years to come out I’m officially boycotting the new Tool record.
It should not take this fucking long, man.
