Sonically I agree with Matt and Holly, but I think Greg is on the right track with his comparison. The approach and listening experience is similar, mostly with newer Tool. I miss the angry Tool. I'll wait to hear the whole album before I make a judgement though.

I think like most bands "angry" Tool disappeared as the guys got older. They're still plenty angry though (you need look no further than Lateralus' "Ticks and Leeches" for proof of that), and I'm psyched for the new album though. Supposedly it will be an angrier and darker album, given that 9/11 and an infinity of other shitty national and international stuff has happened for them to reflect on since Lateralus came out in May 2001.

As far as the ISIS comparison goes, obviously they don't sound the same (switching Maynard over to ISIS and vice versa would be a terrible idea), but the style comparison should be pretty obvious. Both bands rely heavily on buildup and tension and mood and emotion over the length of an album that doesn't let up until the last note is struck and is just a mind bending experience from start to finish. Neither band gives a fuck about song length or catering necessarily to what anyone wants to hear from them - they make music for themselves. If you happen to like it, great, if not, then go listen to something simpler. I was thinking mostly of Oceanic while making that comparison since it's the album of ISIS's freshest in my mind, and I can clearly remember after about the third time through it or so over the years thinking "this is just like listening through a Tool album".

Tool is on record as saying they're big fans of ISIS and have been listening to them a lot while recording this new album, so I'm guessing they at least see the similarities too.

never heard lateralus, just anemia or whatever and the ones before that.

Yeah, I stopped listening to Tool after AEnima, so I can't really say anything.
Even now, there's no way I could even go back and listen to that.

Well I doubt either one of you would like Lateralus, but it runs pretty parallel to Oceanic in my opinion, which is why I brought them up in the first place.

Tool has made a career out of misinformation so I won't believe anything until it's actually sitting in my hands. Even the album title and track listings may be completely different come May 2nd.

The whole album has been leaked.. I'm listening to it now

If its a fake, its a damn good fake.

The single sucks ass but the rest of the album is pretty good. Some pretty heavy (for Tool) Meshuggahesque parts here and there.

yeah that's true. the angry stuff is just how they felt as adolescents/ young adults and those kinds of feelings typically go away as the musicians mature. unless you're a numetal band stuck on that kind of shit forever...
