There are no words to express my joy. And the catalog starts streaming on Aug 2. This announcement is Christmas in July!!

stvn1974 · 07-30-2019, 11:45 PM

With this announcement I am now at 30% sure that this will actually come out.

WKoA13 · 07-31-2019, 02:25 PM

I'm wondering if/hoping that Wal-Mart will be carrying the new album in store (I know CD media has disappeared from a lot of stores, but...sometimes New Releases still show up)... not that they're my favorite store, but I'd love to have this one in my hands at midnight.

Also very curious/excited to see what the packaging is like after AEnima through 10,000 Days kept getting more elaborate.

I do have to wonder how much further they can go.. maybe a booklet that looks entirely black, but you download an app to your phone that scans it with the camera and shows the hidden artwork on screen

Rumor is the packaging includes an LED screen. The reason the album comes out in a month with still no preorder is apparently there is a problem with the battery in the packaging.

On the one hand, that seems too far fetched, just from the standpoint of cost, and physical media no longer selling like it used to....

BUT, on the other hand....TOOL. So...also totally possible.

CD wise, Lateralus still has my favorite packaging (and favorite iteration of their logo), but I've loved all of them.

It's weird having Tool music now available through Amazon. And, best part... lyrics!

I always liked their first two albums. Then I kinda forgot about the rest. I was listening to them last night on Pandora.

WKoA13 · 08-05-2019, 04:37 PM

Lead/Title Track, and album pre-orders this week!
Links will be posted on the band page and social media accounts, on Tuesday Aug 6th, will go live on Wednesday, Aug 7th

Until I see it on the shelf, I still refuse to believe it. Praying there isn’t a last minute delay.

In order to have a Aug 30 release date set, the discs would pretty much already have to be pressed and packaged at this point, just waiting to be distro'd.

Outside of whatever warehouse they're in burning down, not sure what would cause a delay.

Also, it's not like this is an album that has been "delayed" previously. They just...didn't really have any movement/took years to even get back into the studio.

There's no reason at this point to question the album coming out (other than, again, some act of god that not only destroys all physical copies, but also any and all masters and other forms of the masters.

If you have Instagram there's a small sample of the title track of Fear Inoculum. It's under the music section in stories.

stvn1974 · 08-07-2019, 01:28 PM

My first impression is "Intension" meets "Lateralus" meets "Schism".

The entire track is on Youtube now

Also, just pre-ordered through Amazon. Yep. Rechargable LCD display, and speaker in the package. Which explains the 45 dollar tag....

Actual album preorder link this time, I promise.

The title track is up on iTunes and other streaming services.
