I've heard that they were in the studio last year, and were going to start recording sometime soon after Maynard was done touring w/ APC. I was also told to expect it to be out sometime this month. Other than that, I don't know anything about it. It doesn't seem like anyone does. Does anybody here have any other info on it? release date and such?

Personally I don't think they sound that similar tone-wise.. I remember reading that maynard claimed to have "ripped off" King Crimson, but would anyone have guessed it otherwise?
I meant to say that it should have been the other way around, rather than to imply that they don't go together, but then again, I have seen how many people a tool show attracts. It's terrifying, and considering that it shouldn't surprise anyone (much less someone amazing like me) that King Crimson would have a comparatively small audience.
That being said, it still hurts my brain to think about it, about as much as phil lesh sitting in w/ umphrey's mcgee.

the guy that does tool's official site has been sitting on a few of their practices, aparently one of the songs is 18mins long and theres another one at 12mins long. Sounds like its gonna b cassic Tool. They better bring out that DVD they've been talking about for ages.
Now I'm getting psyched for it, and we don't even have a release date!!!!! Argh, why must they torture us so...JamesM said:

I thought I heard a new Tool song on the radio, but it just turned out to be APC. 
It sounded like APC but I wanted so badly for it to be tool that I must have convinced myself that it was. Anybody heard anything new? (Bump)

I love Tool as much as I love King Crimson. Personally, Tool should be opening up for Crimson. I'm not biased, in any way. I just think that the music would set up great highs for the audience. The transition would be completely amazing. Tool, Meshuggah, Crimson.
Great show. Anything with Crimson = good show.
