Re: Fear Inoculum

I agree about the lack of dynamics in the song. I really enjoy it through the second chorus but then continually grow bored. Each time I pretend the solo will soar at the end, but it never really clicks. There’s no crescendo.

I do like it better than Wings..

I’ve assumed the same thing all along. However, I *think* the couple viable leads we have indicate it’s actually CCTrip on the record.

Re: Fear Inoculum

“Lead” track can very well mean first released, not necessarily opening track on the album. FI leads the album release.

Re: Fear Inoculum

Didn’t the one review say FI had an precisely crafted on-ramp and off ramp, meaning it was preceded by a song?

Re: Fear Inoculum

Have to think there’s kinks getting worked out with distribution, supply, advertising, etc. This thing will be everywhere come Aug 30. If anything, the preorders will probably delay receipt for a lot of people by a couple days.

Re: Fear Inoculum

Sorry but I don't agree. A lot of the things I'm reading aren't critiques. It's hating a song on 1 listen and bitching about vocals. What I've been reading I'd hardly call analyzing. It's just negativity. Got it. I guess I haven't delved into much of that, but did notice mostly gushing comments on ...

Re: Fear Inoculum

No one’s complaining, only critiquing based on lofty standards theband has earned. This is deep shit and deserves analysis not just a throwaway pop tune to enjoy blindly. Analyzing their catalogue is a fulfilling endeavor for a lot of fans, the good and seemingly bad.

Re: Fear Inoculum

The art on the single stream reminds me of the great red dragon horns from overhead. And it looks like some kind of demon skull in the middle. There’s a lot more to this “album cover” reveal.

Immediate reaction is it doesn’t go anywhere and the vocals are annoying.

Re: Fear Inoculum

The disappointment stems from this not being a true “pre-order” as the band posted on Monday. Everything should be righted soon, but frustration is righteous tonight. The fact the band posts this stuff themselves is both colloquial/endearing and aggravating at times.

Re: Fear Inoculum

And still not comprehending this artwork yet or where it’s headed in the larger package. Rather clunky and underwhelming so far which will make the inevitable payoff so much better.

Re: Fear Inoculum

Have to think those links will have format info tomorrow. Could also get the full tracklisting and packaging details. Still don’t get the reason for posting this tonight. There’s nothing new and nothing that couldn’t be posted in 9 hours.

I haven't quite understood why they'd post links today only to make the preorder available tomorrow. What's the point?

Re: Fear Inoculum

"The Great Turn", Two Sides, Two CDs, Ascension/Descension (they might not be called this, but I am placing bets on 2 discs with the material arranged in two parts based on this idea). it is not 2 discs... this has been covered. Why would they release 2 discs for 85 minutes of music. Meta...

I wonder if that’s a shot of the CD laying on something? Or if the brownish framing is part of the art?

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the band will be able to handle an influx of more money. The downside is how jarring it is to see Tool interwoven with the pop music dregs on iTunes. So dirty!
