Fear Inoculum
Re: Fear Inoculum with SPOLIERS
I'm blown away on first listen. I really like some of the production choices, especially on Descending. Lustmord's waves complete the track rather nicely, especially as the intro in the live version started a bit abruptly.
Pneuma's main riff threw me off initially as it reminded me of one of the Schism breakdown riffs a lot (I guess some of you will laugh about that - I've seen the running joke about Schism/Vicarious on here as I'm a busy forum lurker), but it grows to be a monster track after repeated listens.
The lack of screaming from Maynard and his backseat approach doesn't bother me at all - he delivers some beautiful, soothing melodies on this album; apart from Invincible and Descending I think that Culling Voices really stands out. And, which is important for me, I think he delivers some really thought-provoking lyrics without them being over the top.
I was really glad to hear that heavy riff from one of the soundchecks (the one that he plays after the Invincible intro riff) in 7empest. That track feels very complex, I have to listen to it a couple of times to truly get all the instrumentation going on. Maynard sounds angry on that one!
I wish you all enjoyment from listening to this monster.

Re: Fear Inoculum
Figured as much, I’ve been syncing music to iPods Ipads and iPones for years and this has never happened to me, it had to happen on Tool day which i’ve been waiting for a decade.
Did that Mirage dude delete his reddit account or it’s still up?

Ghosted, him and the guy he got to rip the cd are gone for obvious legal reasons.

Re: Fear Inoculum
I downloaded from the link. Thought the right to do would race a copy to my brother since his a tech retard. Put it on his phone thought I better make sure it worked before I left and go. Spent two hours trying to sort eventually getting it going on his Hardrive for him. Raced home computer started fuckin up. Managed to get a few in. Checked in to 4th eye and earthrocker had hooked us up with a different link. Lit a fire in the backyard and just finished the album. We made it all!!! Hope you all enjoy/ed.
To those that have continued to hold out .. feel proud and vindicated. Man I wish I had your willpower.. well done.

Re: Fear Inoculum
The question is: where was Hellboy when all of this happened?
Re: Fear Inoculum with SPOILERS
So happy I didn’t listen to Invincible, amazing.
We did it, they did it as well, loving Adam’s work, all that shit about him taking a back seat is crazy nonsense. Danny’s killing it!
That solo 7min in on Invincible and then the synth, “tears in my eyes” is right, actual tears.damnn.

Has anybody ever seen Hellboy and the guy from the Mirage in the same room together?
