When it comes to news of Tool and recording, any small achievement is worth noting.
The band posted an update on their Facebook page that says, "Starting the New Year off on a positive note, [guitarist] Adam [Jones] arrives at the Loft with an ending for a new Tool arrangement and gets the nod of approval by the others. As long as they don't start with the ending, that's good news!"
For those keeping score at home, it's now nine years since Tool's last album, 10,000 Days.
