I love tool and APC but I don't see this album dropping before mid-summer. I know what they stated but tool likes to take a long time in making records and I'm okay with that. As for the "huge leap from cd to cd" comment from above I think if you go back and listen to the end of aenima you see that third eye is really a shift in the direction of how the lateralus disc is, they do a good job of previewing their next sound for you. I'd expect a more ambient and atmospheric rock a-la The Gathering's last venture and something towards what Opeth has been doing for a long time.
The person who said "if anyone can pull off [a story type album like pink floyd's the wall] it would be tool" would be wise to check out opeth's - My arms your hearse and The Mars Volta's - Deloused in the Comatorium they're both stories told throughout the album and are both phenomenol discs.
