  • Tool continue to evolve, definitely listen more than once
I was originally going to buy the cd version of this but it cost like 40 or 50 bucks and before I could save up for the pre order, it vanished so I downloaded the album; it is too long for one CD so I separated the songs onto 2 different cds and it almost works in their favor that way. I’ve been a fan of Tool since 95 and own all their albums including Salival so after a 13 year absence, I was kind of scared Tool might let me down. They definitely did not! Yes the songs for the most part exceed the 10 minute mark but Tool has evolved like they have with every project since the Opiate Ep to the prog masterpiece 10,000 Days. I’ve listened to this album about 4 times now and my conclusion is that the band are just as good as they were 13 years ago, just different. You can hear echoes of Puscifer and A Perfect Circle in some of these songs in Maynard’s vocal performance but there is also a very strong evolution of the sonic sound of Tool. I won’t break down each track but I will say that samples on here won’t do the songs justice with their length. My favorites are Descending, Pneu, 7tempest, and Culling Time ( a track people seem to not enjoy because they say it’s too soft which I think is ludicrous; it builds up like the song H from “Aenima”). Invincible is an amazing song, Fear Inoculum is really good but not the best song here, Chocolate Chip Trip is an awesome Industrial/drum solo experience for Danny Carey to show off his amazing skills. As for the interludes, the first one was not memorable, I actually really enjoyed the one between “invincible “ and “descending “ very much and the last one, mockingbeat was like a less interesting chocolate chip trip outro but it wasn’t a bad 2 minutes. All in all, this isn’t better than Aenima, Lateralus, or 10,000 Days for me but I think it surpasses Undertow (I wont count Opiate or Salival as albums). Hardcore Tool fans definitely get this and casual ones start with Lateralus, Aenima, or 10,000 Days. I really hope they don’t take such a long time in between albums again but at least we have APC and Puscifer (I honestly enjoyed Moneyshot by Puscifer almost as much as this). Highly recommended and an essential buy. ... show more

  • Tool delivers their Magnum Opus
13 years in the making, 5 solid years of blood and sweat in the music studio, threads of musical exploration abandoned and restarted, every note, every complex rhythm meticulously crafted, and finally the wait is over - Tool thrust an epic masterpiece of heavy musical art into our collective consciousness. These guys are now into their 50's, at the very peak of their artistic genius, and this album reflects their growth and perfected precision. Yes every tool album prior to this has been great, with some terrific songs but with a few flaws - some meandering filler pieces or a few songs that didn't quite gel. But this one is different, sure, unmistakably Tool with their strange time signatures and embedding complexity within complexity in an almost fractal way, but now with a maturity and focus and consistent musical brilliance that permeates every one of their multiple 10-12+ minute long songs on this album. It's as though they, like us, suffered through a decade of music industry tripe, bubble gum pop and mindless rap promoted to the lowest common denominator, and then said "step aside kids, this is how to make music that stands the test of time - music that hits you like a sledgehammer but also music as art in the purest truest sense." Mesmerizing, haunting, at times blissfully beautiful and at other times (e.g. 7empest) brutally aggressive and soaring. This folks is their Magnum Opus, their Moby Dick, their Guernica, their Sistine Chapel of musical brilliance. The only adjective that comes close to capturing this masterpiece is Transcendent. This isn't just an album we have waited for for 13 years, this the the Tool masterpiece we have always been waiting for. Epic, brilliant. I will get nothing done for the next two weeks because I will be listening to this over and over and over... ... show more

  • Beautiful box set and a really nice mix
I bought the limited edition 5 disc set from Amazon for $61.70. It was worth every penny. Honestly, it was a steal at that price. The set comes as a single bound volume, around the size of a coffee table book or art book. The volume includes artwork on really glossy pages and portraits of each band member. The LP sleeves are made of heavy duty cardstock and are bound into the book alongside the pages. The etchings on the records are beautiful and they match the style of the images in the book very well. Unfortunately they are very faint--You have to catch them in just the right light to see the detail. Etched images are a difficult thing to get right on any vinyl release, so I don't feel too bent out of shape about it. Plenty of reviews rave about the mix on this set and I agree--it's' phenomenal. Even on crappy speakers this is a mix that really lets each performer shine. I also appreciated the way Amazon shipped this. It came in a sturdy cardboard mailer with foam padding from the manufacturer, which was packed inside an outer box from amazon. Everything arrived in great shape. I definitely recommend this for yourself or the Tool fan in your life. It's a solid pickup, especially at the price I paid. ... show more

  • Tool filps you CD lovers the bird...
Great band. Great music. Great new album after 13 years. But, clearly they are making a statement about finally having to put all their music out in digital format by only releasing a $150.00 Limited release CD version of the new album 'Fear Inoculum'. I'm a luddite sure-- but it would have been nice to just get a CD version for the standard 15 -16 bucks so I could play it in the CD player in my dumb old Toyota Matrix while I drive to my dumb old job everyday and then be able to look at the CD booklet while I eat my dumb old lunch. Tool you made us all look like fools. DAMN FOOLS!!! Your true fans with disposable income gobbled up the $150.00 version (with 4" tv screen) and your true poor fans only could afford get the MP3 digital option and then had to burn their own dumb CD to play in their dumb old car. But, you guys finally just showed me just how DUMB I really am! If only Justin Bieber will now admit to just how dumb he is for saying he likes your music, you will have finally cured the world of it's sickness. Fear Inoculum is still a great offering of new music from a great band that has just taught us a valuable lesson in why we are all so dumb. ... show more

  • Loved it after I hated it
I waited 13 years...for this? That was my feeling for the first 1.5 to 2 years after it dropped. Having been a casual to somewhat serious Tool fan since high school in the 90s, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't underwhelmed with Fear Inoculum. I tried listening on and off for a while, and the radio constantly played the single, Fear Inoculum, and I got sick of hearing it. As with other Tool albums, I found a few songs good, but most were always flyover songs that I would skip. Fast forward to mid 2021 and I had the chance to finally see them live, so bought tickets for an upcoming show in early 2022. I decided to brush up on my Tool and actually listen to all the stuff I always skipped over, reading the lyrics this time. That's what dragged me down the rabbit hole. The more I listened and read, the more I became obsessed with the music and lyrics of not only the old stuff, but the new stuff as well. I truly didn't appreciate the music until going back through all their music and do research about what their meanings possibly were. Fear Inoculum is a really great album, and since seeing them in Jan 2022, Tool has been streaming from my phone at least 90% of the time that I'm listening to music. ... show more

  • Sound the dread alarm
Like many I was beyond excited to hear about the release of this box set. Of course I immediately pre-ordered it and happily awaited for it to arrive. For me it was well packaged and had two layers of cardboard and foam inserts to ensure it would not receive damaged in shipping. The album packaging is some thing I have not seen many times before in vinyl, it’s collectible for that reason alone in my opinion. Rather than being a traditional box set, it is book style with each disc having its own page. The only other set I’m aware of doing something like this is My Morning Jackets Okonokos re-release box set. My only major gripe is that some of the pages, either due to the printing process or poor storage, were stuck together and when I peeled them apart the edges became torn. I don’t believe it was water damage, I genuinely believe it may have been a mistake because of the printing process or something else. It doesn’t detract from the beauty of the packaging completely, it is just a minor nuisance and why I’m giving this album a four star review. As far as the music goes, it is well mixed and different in my opinion from the digital release of the album. It might be my set up but I did find it hard to follow Justin’s bass lines at times, but otherwise it is an excellent pressing. My only other annoyance is the fact that it’s five discs rather than three. Don’t get me wrong the etchings are very cool and very attractive from collectibility standpoint, however it does feel somewhat unnecessary given the art that you do get in the book. The labels on the records are very cool, and harken back to the cover artwork and some of the visuals that we have seen on the recent TOOL tours. This is a minor complaint, but the track titles are not listed on the labels so if you pull all the disks out you will most likely mix them up. Overall, if you are a vinyl enthusiast and love progressive metal and art I would recommend you purchase it. It is definitely more of a collectible album than a play it when ever album in my opinion. ... show more

  • 13 years in the making, and well worth the wait
Impressive effort by Tool, and a worthy addition to their discography. This is Tool at their peak Toolishness, taking the style they developed in Aenima and Lateralus to its logical conclusion: long, winding, dynamic songs, building from striking melodies to epic and brutal climaxes. They've eschewed all semblance of traditional song structure, and the result is captivating: each song unfolds like a story. The musicianship is also formidable, Danny Carey's drumming in particular. All that said, this is perhaps Tool's least accessible music to date: this isn't music to play in the background at a dinner party, this is music for locking yourself in a dark room with headphones for an hour and a half. Its also music that takes time and many playthroughs to fully digest and absorb: and with every song clocking in at over 10 minutes, that's not a small commitment. This album may be better suited for Tool diehards than the uninitiated, but the quality of the compositions here will be present something for anyone who enjoys good music, provided they're willing to meet this album on its own terms. I have a feeling that in retrospect, this album will be able to stand toe-to-toe with anything else Tool has released. ... show more
