Fear Inoculum

I love Tool, one of my favorite bands. I enjoy slow-paced music, I’m a swans fan bro. But this? Yikes it’s boring, they take such an absurd way to creep up to the pay off of each drop. Remember Parabol into Parabola?? I consider that shit to be perfect. Here it falls flat, remove the interludes first of all omg. Litanie sounds like me fucking around with a shitty synth keyboard on the app BandLab. The rest of them are also just super awkward.

But hey, this got some bomb ass songs as well tho, 7empest is one of their best I think. The opening track is amazing and brings back that Tool charm as such as a couple others but the rest just reminds me of the low and boring portions of their album 10,000 Days. Very odd experience, genuinely high points of awesome production and then unnecessary garbage. Seems pretentious in a way to stretch it out this long cus you don’t need these shitty interludes and boring build ups at all dude.
