Tool - Fear Inoculum (August 30th, 2019)

[Polytrix 137]

Dang! That's a shame that!

[Stickfigger 1262]

Definitely hear the crackles on second track 

[gl0tch 16]

Really, really love this record. It gets better each time.  Solid 9/10.  Team Invincible all the way.

First they came for the Mars Volta. Now this.

not sure if this is a marketing device or it's just because dickspork is awful

 If they just praise it nobody will care 

[beerwolf 799]

Exactly. Just seems like a childish rant so they get some attention imo.

[chenGOD 1425]

Still enjoying the fuck out of this. Moreso in fact, now that the lyrics are starting to sink into my consciousness.

Some will say this Tool by the numbers, and I agree, but the numbers are transcendental and surreal.

[Richie Sombrero 235]

It's weird, it's really clicked with me mood wise. It's becoming my favourite of their albums. Lovely stuff. Doesn't feel heavy at all to me in terms of how I'm processing it despite fact it is of course.

It's the same they did with drukqs, Totems Flare and exai

[beerwolf 799]

Music critics who post negative reviews of Tool seem like on some emotional rebound.  Just killed Melon Heads review at the halfway mark I thought he was going to start crying at one point.

Yeah it's really growing on me more and more, starting to appreciate some of the lyrics a bit more, particularly Descending, Culling Voices and 7empest.

Listened to all of 10,000 Days again yesterday just for comparison and now I definitely like Fear Innoculum more.

[Richie Sombrero 235]

It's better than Lateralus lads. Pretty confident it'll soon be seen as their best album.

It's not going to happen. Favourite album for some sure. That's true of all of their albums. But for the majority? Aenima vs Lateralus until the end of time. 

 

[Richie Sombrero 235]

Aenema is the Bends pal. 

 

Howdy Parker. 

[beerwolf 799]

Yep Descending is a fucking tune

(magic sonic eye in full effect at 5am this morning while cycling to work in the twilight)

Yeah Descending is my favourite at the minute, so good!

Love the whole album and defo think its contender for their best album. Still early days but think I might prefer it to Lateralus.  Will prob be hard for it to dethrone Aenima  for me though.

Does anyone else get a strong Undertow vibe from the vox in 7empest?

Wouldn't surprise, that track apparently has riffage all the way from the undertow days, so having vox reminiscent of that time isn't a stretch. that track is an amalgamation of everything tool has done up until now.  

[Richie Sombrero 235]

LOL
