TOOL - Fear Inoculum

The production seriously ruins this entire album. With all of the dense, gritty mixing of 10,000 Days stripped these songs are left feeling completely empty.

"Invincible" is still such a mesmerizing song, holy shit.

Pneuma at an 88 is crazy i’m ngl

YOOOO W BLUE

deserved blue

awesome to see the blue must hear! while i do think this is one of Tool's weaker works for sure, i do feel it to be just a little bit underrated; sure the interludes are kind of odd but the musical content itself i find to be a good bit lovely. (i am TOTALLY not a Tool fanboy)

Really enjoyed this. The songs are super immersive, enough to make up for the length. Interludes kinda suck (Tool go figure), but 7empest is like top 5 in their discography

genuinely what took them so long to drop this lmao

Blue

YOOO where'd the blue star come from?!? Was literally talking about that a few months back, it matches perfectly too 🔥👌

that metal hammer review was hiding all this time?

FI really deserved that must hear!

critic must hear!
better than nothing

I've only heard Pneuma but damn if thats only a 88 then Tool must be really good

what an underwhelming album

Musicians know why fantano said culling voices is one of his favs on here

this is like Tool's Luciferian Towers

the prod on the interludes, especially after smoking is insane

This is not a bad album, the only negative points I have is the tracks are a little drawn out and the runtime of the entire project is almost ridiculous.

child
wake up
child
release... the light
wake up now child

Blue star would look so sick on this, dammit we were close

Pnuema is at least a top 10 Tool song. WDYM 87?!???!

What a sucky, cheap looking album cover in comparison to all their others. A shame

snoozefest album but Chocolate Chip Trip has phenomenal soundstaging great for audio testing

according to amazon this is british invasion (basically the rolling stones/the beatles)

i used to like this but now i think it's so fucking boring

Any diaper wearing tool fans?

Everything here sounds better live. Listening to these studio versions after the fact leaves me so disappointed. They’re so aimless and clean, when you just feel the actual distorted power of it which hasn’t been nail filed with modern metal production the material here is great.

I hope they go back to making songs about anal fisting for their next record.

This is just a knockoff 10000 days to me

71 seems very generous for these track ratings

Yeah I get why people don't like this one. None of the songs sound bad, but they are all so similar that it makes none of the tracks stand out. I do like the ambient interludes and phases between tracks.

unpopular opinion, i think this album is more or just as good as lateralus

Yeah I'm just listening to the 7 tracks that were featured on the CD without the download tracks.

Dude I take back everything bad I ever said about aenima interludes, these ones are so ass 😭🙏. At least those ones add to the album.

This is my face when listening to most of these songs:
Beginning:🙂
Middle:🤨🤔😟
Ending: 😑😪😴

all three colors for track ratings is crazy

Pneuma at 87 when it's their best song is crazy

This*

Y'all are just haters thus shit bumps

This album sucks

7empest at 89 is lowkey disgusting. Shouldn't be anywhere near the lowest normal tracks on Ænima

The interludes on all the other albums added to the atmosphere. The interludes here are just shitting on the whole thing.

Bro holy shit this album is so pointless its literally just borrowing from other tool albums and watering them down to the extreme.

gross

I like Tool interludes, yeah, I know, you can cancel me y'know, You can just calcel me, but That's just my opinion, but you can Cancel me, even though that is just my opinion, go Ahead, you can cancel Me, but that's is just my opinion, even Though that'sn just my opinion, you can cCancel me, but that's just my opinionn You can Cancel Me, Evn Though that Is just mY opinion, Go AhEaD AND calcel Me. GO ahead. and and Cance Me , go Ahead, you can go Ahe Ad An Cance M, g Ah n Cnc l M. B T J M O, mu opinion, calcel me

in the green! always made me a little sad to see a tool release in the yellow. still definitely not the best though

now im just mad

im sorry what the hell were they thinking with these interludes too

The third quarter of invincible is so ass (uninspired and repetitive like wtf is that)
