The Grudge (WARNING: 26 years to #6?)

Reminds of his delivery of deeelicioous on Eat The Elephant, which drives my other half nuts so I of course make sure I pronounce it that way every word time I use that word now .

Make that two of us Busty. That coupled with the high end processed vocals is like nails through my brain.

Feeling any better?

[Busty McCracken]

Consider yourself lucky we not real life pals then coz I would be saying nah mate, mildly better but still feel rat shit and staying at home resting through fear I am contag-iaum

[Boldizar]

Once it's over.
Busty: Bless this immunity!

someone on reddit said he says my toe says instead of mitosis and I can’t stop singing that now so fuck you guy

New song sounds exactly like Schism/Vicarious

[bob]

Honestly the chorus of FI really throws the whole song off. The guitar part along with the "exhale, expel" vocal delivery just sound super generic & cheesy. Plus there is barely any dynamic change on the instrumental side. Everything else is great

now were getting somewhere! i dont think its cheese/standard sounding but M drones out the chorus waay too much and it makes the song feel dragged out and not good. the music isnt doing that if u listen. just sing it to yourself a little more sped up/normal during that part and it feels better. i think anyway. hopefully live it sounds more normal,i think it will. Agreed,the rest of the song is pretty good. esp arond the 7 min mark, its classic tool but still fresh and not sounding like their older songs. well accept for that small part that sounds like eulogy a little bit but im ok with that!

"Allegorical allergy" works for me I've decided.

Hey Bob, go with the flow. When the current changes submit. You are not the cruise director.

still going on about that ? ive moved on, you should too and your comparing apples and oranges. not very flow like

This is the grudge. There is no moving on from that.

Apples and oranges are both similar sized round fruits.

nice try! apples and oranges are obviously similiar sized round fruits but they are not the same at all! im more of an apple person. i havent had an orange in a long time. i should have one soon!

ya its the grudge, im an authentic person. i dont need a place to be an asshole if i want to be! haha. but ok, i can play along i guess.

[the chill]

So 20 days away and no track list yet? That’s my only grudge

[ms2r]

Why should that be grudged?

You know 4 already.

[Busty McCracken]

He can grudge that if he wants. Grudge on chill man. How's the misso holding up?

[the chill]

It’s totally grudge worthy! We had the tracking for 10,000 days by now I am pretty sure and a leak of the whole album came out about 10-14 days before it was released! Haha. Fucking ToOL

The ol’ lady(33) is still in the hospital, lung collapsed slightly when they took her off the tube thing. Going to take her off it again tonight cuz she is healing a little bit more and hopefully get her out tomorrow or Monday the latest.

[Busty McCracken]

Poor girl , man that sounds painful. All the best for the recovery dude.

[Boldizar]

One thing Iiked about Invincible is that the synth line is related to the song in that it is harmony to Maynards vocal line. That little synth line in the opening of Fear Inoculum seems so pointless and cheesy on it's own. If Maynard hadn't been so busy going off the path, I would have like it if there had been a point where he sang that line, connecting it to something in the song. At least, I haven't noticed anything like that yet.

Also that hi-pitched screech... did we really need that?

[BlackHole83]

It was different yet TOOL, I’m digging the intro. Bad ass way to open an album. But this is the grudge. Where the fuck is the video lazy fucks

[Boldizar]

Did they ever promise a video? I thought that was people misunderstanding the fact that the song was released as audio via youtube?

[Shed523]

I believe Alex Grey replied to someone on Ista saying the art is both cover art and part of a video.
Edit: Alex just said the art is album art and art for the single I guess I read into that a little much as probably many of us did.

so its vicarious all over again kinda. same sorta look as the net of being poster with the portal hole things and it will be in a video. sounds familiar!

[hellboy]

If I had to be critical of Fear Inoculum, it's that I really like the "Deceiver, Chased away" bit, but the following line "A long time coming" section just sounds a bit lazy and mumbled

[snazzlefrass]

Yeah that line started out good but his word choice failed at the end

[tys0n]

Only 20 minutes?

Come the heck on Adam!

[Shed523]

Chocolate Chip Fucking Trip?! Now I have no doubt it will be mind blowing, I'm also very intrigued by how this drum solo fits into the "7". I only listened to CCtrip once from the last tour but it really seamed like every other DC drum solo they do live. Always slightly different sometimes a guest but never really deserving of a "proper" TOOL track. Like I said only one listen but CCtrip just has me tripping a bit...

[ms2r]

… then you have not experienced the CCTrip live experience. I will miss the visuals though. Maybe the screen will fix that.

Welp, the gf just broke up with me this morning. Jesus I was there for her in the hospital and she just knew she was going to do this to me and couldn’t say something sooner. It’s life and relationships, hate that I like being in them.
