I'm so sorry. What I meant to say was that I love everything Tool does without any passing critical thought. Fear Inoculum is mysterious and inkeeping with the style of Tool's other albums: Opiate, Undertow, Aenima, Lateralus, 10,000 Days... Fear Inoculum. It is perfect. Mea Culpa!! :oops:

I am just playing, but seriously, I laughed at this title. It legitimately sounds like a Dan Brown novel title. "Global extremism is growing... At the end of his ropes, and past his sell by date, forgotten symbologist Robert Langdon must risk it all, one more time, to fight against shadowy occult and secret government forces that aim to plunge the world into a chaotic battlefield of fear. On his path he will once again end up deep in the ancient mythological history of the past, guided by a attractive blonde mystery who claims she of Atlantean descent. Not all is what it seems but the world desperately needs the cure... FEAR INOCULUM."

I really hope that Art Nouveu look of the font translates to something more with the art.
You don't have to apologize to anyone. The album title is awful. Has no impact on the music at all so doesn't make any real difference but I do agree. It is not a good title at all. It is grammatically correct in how it is being used but it comes off as tacky.

@xz1mm3r - what context do you need? Inoculum is any substance/material used in an inoculation. You know what Fear is. There ya go. Fear as a substance/material used to inoculate.

Should have left the Fear off Inoculum would have been better on it's own.

Whatever again no bearing on the music. It's all positive shit is up digital on Friday so good news

Completely agree. The songs are still great and I am glad it is all finally being dragged into gear.

Without over analyzing it, especially since we haven't heard the full album to appreciate its context, I think FEAR INOCULUM is a solid title for an album but I'm sure they would have considered just INOCULUM as a title here.

Perhaps just using that one word didn't quite fit so they put 'Fear' in front of it... or perhaps "fear inoculum" is in the lyrics somewhere so using just 'Inoculum' as a title didn't feel right.

I think FEAR INOCULUM instills a sense of dread or worry obviously. Is this album meant to be used as some sort of drug to soothe our pain? The band's name is TOOL after all. I like the mystery Fear Inoculum provides here... perhaps Maynard wanted to go with just Inoculum but didn't feel it elicited a strong enough feeling etc.


Also: I wish we had statistics on how many people Googled the word 'Inoculum' today :)

I don't mind the title. I am happy we are finally getting something, and the news that the other albums will be streaming this week is awesome.

I can't wait to watch the JRE podcast.
Be good to each other.

I'm laughing at all the excitement that's all over the place in here. Great to see all the enthusiasm.

I guess we're going to get a song titled Fear Inoculum.

Everyone thought 10,000 days was a pretty bland title back in 2006... no one had any context either so that didn't help. The initial reaction back then was fairly negative but maybe that's just the nature of the internet and trolling. Context matters.

I actually prefer titles using real words. Sorry but I've never really thought Lateralus was a great title. Aenima is good though. I do like Opiate and Undertow as titles. Solid stuff.

A lot of people think the show was already done and edited and they will just release today. Time will tell.

Also nice choice of favorite movies! Do you believe the devil theory for signs?
Eh, the director has a habit of putting stuff like that in his films. Its most likely true, but I like the whole alien idea better. Either way incredible movie. And about the new title, I really like it. But, you can't please everyone which is fine. Im just excited for the new tunes. Can't wait for the JRE episode now.

I dig the title, I think some are putting too much weight on it. Like Mog said, it's just a title and it doesn't actually affect the music.

Kinda reminds me of Systema Encephale, hehe.
Ahhh, Infotainment!
