That certainly resonates. Consider the last decade and how that’s escalated. Astronomically since 45 stole power in the US.

Nice first post. Welcome.

Now I’m going to go for a nice long walk in paradise. See ya.

As a viniculturist you also have to think MJK meant inoculum in the agricultural sense. Microbial inoculants are used to promote systemic acquired resistance to pathogens and fungi in many flowering plants. Introduce a little fear into the substratum to keep fear from overpowering a systemic organism (humans) in the long run.

I said nothing about your statement on politics..simply how your definition of Fear Inoculum was incorrect, which I have proven concretely to be grammatically flawed using....the dictionary...Tool fans :lol:

Don't be a pansy album with shitty title is going to be fantastic you don't have to jump to it's defense. It will probably be album of the year....while also having the worst album title of the year :lol: :lol:

I don't understand how you can make an opinion on the title without hearing the album, or having any other information to go on. Other then REEEEEEE, i have to have an opinion on everything. I have a couple of friends who are like that. Have an opinion on everything, for no reason, and 90% of the time it's negative. I feel like that has to be exhausting. I literally have no opinion on the album title, or anything i don't have some data points to base my opinion on. I always try to suppress my first reaction to things, because often they can mislead you.

English. Grammar. Look up Inoculum. Go now. See how it is defined and used in a sentence. Done. No secondary meanings no room for speculation or interpretation it is defined one way and used one way. The dictionary is a wonderful TOOL :lol:

MEME,

Maybe lay off the meth if you're having trouble sleeping. It may also help with your run-on sentence problem. You're becoming a meme of yourself.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_play
Word play doesn't work in a situation where a thing is so narrowly defined, in particular a word used in one area, biology/immunology, and more specifically a word that has no secondary meanings or definitions. Inoculum is literally the substance used in an inoculation. In a sentence what precedes it defines it. Therefore as it stands Fear is the Inoculum, which would make the title read as follows:

Fear is the substance used in the inoculation.

If one were to read it as Fearing the substance used in the Inoculum that would be grammatically incorrect as again, Fear proceeds and therefore defines Inoculum.

Tool fucked up. Bad title. No room for speculation or interpretation.

That certainly resonates. Consider the last decade and how that’s escalated. Astronomically since 45 stole power in the US.

Trump didn’t steal power. He was elected as an anti-politician or change agent. That’s the resonating point.

Hey Mog,

I just looked Aenima and Lateralus up in the dictionary and couldn't find the words. Any idea where I should search? You have inspired me to educate myself.

Looking forward to hearing what the guys in the band have to say about the title. I imagine it's going to come up in an article or interview at some point.
So Long, and Thanks for All the Tool.

Yeah, I'm really hoping the embargo is lifted soon so we can start seeing some reviews from the listening party that took place in Europe.

I asked him this almost exact question... He came up with some long convoluted answer to remind me (again) that there is only ONE, 1, UNO, SINGLE way to interpret the album name. It can ONLY be the literal exact definition as defined by a dictionary. Cause you know, Tool have such a long history of NEVER making up words, using them in word play, mixing words and phrases together to create a new meaning. AEnima is literally a made up word. Its a blend of two words to create a new 'word' which was only seen/understood once MJK explained it.

But again. Thank the big man upstairs that M0G is here to set us straight on definitions. I'm sure the (likely) title track will not shed ANY additional light on the meaning.

Of course he did.

And nobody's getting upset, as far as I can tell. We aren't allowed to troll him back? Hmmm, Mr. soon to be moderator?
