Songs From Black Mountain has been pushed back again!
The new release date for the US is May 9th.
I've just about given up!

Too bad for those of us who are paying attention, but really what's the big deal in the end? Yes, that was rhetorical. I'll still buy the album whenever it comes out and chances are you will, too. Knowing Live, it will more or less sound the same in May as it would have in April, or even last November for that matter. Exception is if they - wisely - decide to slap on the "guitars up" version of The River onto the disc. If they don't do that then they need their heads examined.

Though frustrating, because nobody likes change, the delay isn't too bad in the scheme of things. Tool, for example, is just getting around to releasing its DVD singles for Schism and Parabola a mere five years or so after the album hit the shelves. Those nuggets were rumored to have been out hundreds of times in the last few years. The faithful have waited and will buy.

Bottomline: I'd wait until THIS November for Black Mountain. It will come when it comes. Be patient...
