I really wish these appear on Touch Tune systems. Can't wait to spend 3 credits for 12+ minutes songs for the same price as a 3 minute songsSupposedly some track times leaked. Track 7 gonna be the shit. I can feel it.

Tool's first new track in 13 years - Fear Inoculum
- Thread starter astro
- Start date
That was a TOOL ass TOOL song if I've heard one. I liked though just enough of what I need. Hopefully the rest isn't the same. I can see why that song was uploaded first though.
Finally getting around to listen to it and I think this mix is bad because how low the vocals are. Also this is clearly a transition song for a live performance. The entire first half is like 40% of another song
Most definitely that Lateralus feels likes the most cohesive record, although most of their records are compared to their counterparts.
I like the song, but it hasn't lit me on fire yet. No doubt the album will get good, I just hope it is freaking fantastic as I really have enjoyed their albums in the past and even now as they seem to age well with time.
Thirteenth Step is one of my favorite albums of all time, honestly.
This song is truly amazing. They sound so fucking good, best drummer? Check. Best bassist? Check? Best guitarist? Check. Best Singer? Check.
hnnnnngggggggg
hnnnnngggggggg
Progressive, relevant, subversive, melodic and one of the most heavenly voices in all of music. Song is amazing, been playing it all day.
David Berman died today (Silver Jews, Purple Mountains). I'm too new to start a discussion, and I may get banned for this, but dang. Someone should start a thread about that.
No slight to the Tool thread. Just harmless venting in the only music thread I could find.

i really wanted to post this so here
i hadn't listened to that for many years, almost forgot it exists.. i used to play this on repeat over and over and over again back when mp3s were a new thing, i was in eight grade or something. super nostalgic cover song for me. too bad there's no studio version but oh well, its still special.

Finally got to give "Fear Inoculum" a listen and honestly if it wasn't for Danny Carey I would have thought this was APC lol. Not bad but doesn't hold a candle to all their other stuff. Funny thing is I actually like the ending which some people don't for some reason. It's strange hearing this chord/bassline progression from them.
Really in all honesty when you don't produce new music for 13 years you're setting yourself and fans up for disappointment because the veil of mystery has been dropped, people are now hearing that record they thought they never would and will naturally come in with high expectations.

no longer true if going by live versions of the bands. he knows what he can hit and doesn't try and do APC level vocals anymore
Man, I can't wait to hear the studio versions of Descending and Invincible. Heard both songs live thrice this year already and the experience was just mesmerizing.
This song is amazing! There's something about that chorus that just speaks to me, it's sort of poppy in a Tool sort of way but damn do I love it.
Speaking of their previous albums, it's funny because 10000 Days is absolutely in the running for their best album for me, and I didn't think that for the first few years. Rosetta Stoned is probably my favorite Tool song. I feel like Undertow has become really underrated these days though.

That's a really good way of describing it lol. Spot on really.
I feel like Maynard is still in APC mode with his vocal performance here which is not bad by any means but this song just doesn't hit me look a Tool song would.
It was amazing when I first heard and it's fucking brilliant after a few listens. Seriously, play it at least 3 times before brushing it off. The wait for this CD is going to be a tough one, but this already one of the best rock songs I've heard in quite some time.
Yeah I'm liking it a lot more the more I listen to it. Only thing that gets me is Danny's drums at the end. Amazing performance but that snare tone sounds like he's playing on a cocktail kit lol.
Listened to it once and I'll wait for the album to drop to listen to it again. I've been relistening to Tool's discography this summer and I've discovered songs that I didn't pay much attention to in the past have suddenly clicked and become my favorites. This is particularly true of their more longer prog rockish songs, so I'm pretty excited to hear the rest of the new album and experience it as a whole.
After more listenings, I'm still hearing the APC structure, it's not only the vocals but dont get me wrong, it's not bad at all.
In fact I feel the song is divided in two, the first part, the song seems like the sound we used to with APC and the second part that starts with the 9th minute mark with the pure tool texture.

Caught myself humming it today, so I guess that's a good sign.
Put me in the camp that can't hear APC in this at all beyond maybe some crossover with Maynard's vocal range and harmonies, which is to be expected I guess. Jones, Chancellor, and Carey's compositions and craftsmanship are so far away from APC, and it's blatantly evident here in my opinion. It sounds like quintessential Tool through and through, arguably to a flaw depending on your taste.

Yeah, I don't get the APC comparison either.
It's very much a Tool song with a hint of Puscifer (7.30-7.50 particularly)

Yeah I'd say this is a better comparison. And Maynard is just singing softer, possibly because of age, and/or he's just tired of yelling, which is why the "it sounds like APC" comments.
I'm just dreading how expensive tickets will be, and speed at which they'll sell out, once they announce an Australia tour :(
I'm not gonna listen to their new song in isolation after all this time....I've waited this long I can wait three more weeks for the album.
Had to think twice about the insane price for the special edition CD though......I justified it by thinking if they were a normal band they would
have put out loads of albums in the intervening years.....so I'm really saving money,lol.

The song seems like it's going to be better when placed in the context of the album so it's definitely worth holding out for
Yea,I'll be like.....headphones on.....NO NOT DISTURB.....when the album drops,lol.
The single is definitely growing on me, though I think Descending (hq live recording) is still my favorite so far out of the new tracks. Can't wait to hear the latter on the actual record.
The 30th needs to hurry up and get here already :p

After sitting on it for several days... I still really like it. The droning guitar and rhythmic drum and bass form an almost post-rocky sort of hypnosis at times, and Maynard does a lot of great stuff. Will make for a killer intro track.
