The album is slated for release on May 17.
Prior to this announcement, Tyler released a handful of album snippets on Twitter and YouTube.

"It doesn't take a rocket scientist to conclude 'IGOR' is unmistakably a concept album, which is a good thing considering I’m no rocket scientist."
“‘IGOR’ was not a rap album if you ask me.”
