Tool - Fear Inoculum ALBUM REVIEW

Tool's comeback album Fear Inoculum is insufficient not only by the immaculate standards of the band's past work, but by the standards of rock and metal music at large.

===================================

===================================

FAV TRACKS: CULLING VOICES, 7EMPEST

LEAST FAV TRACK: (PHYSICAL) PNEUMA / (DIGITAL) THE INTERLUDES

TOOL - FEAR INOCULUM / 2019 / TOOL DISSECTIONAL / ALTERNATIVE METAL, PROG METAL

4/10

Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?

[jonahhernandez]

If you listen real close, Melon actually obliterates this album to the rhythm of the fibonacci sequence

[DesolateSumo]

I saw the red flannel and I knew it was over

[ragonk]

wow just from the thumbnail... I can tell you really liked this album

[trashhuman]

You only gave it a 4/10 because that's what you decided the rating should be after listening to the album

[papioshposh]

just a reminder... if you're mad at anthony for this review, pitchfork gave lateralus a 1.9

[BrunoinChains]

in response to this, Tool shall release a single written in a 4/10 signature

[vicentebriceno]

You have really good points and the review is pretty objective. Good job Anthony!

He actually loves the album. Think about it...

He gave it a 4/10, 4 being the primary quadratic integer of the constellation Argo Navis. When Mercury is in retrograde, this joins the twelve ancient celestial constellations belonging to Zodiac in orbit (with Argo Navis becoming the thirteenth). Babylonian astronomical cartography circa 400BC named Zodiac as the eleventh star of Gavidriel. 13 (also the number of years between Tool albums) multiplied by 11 is 143. In August 2019 (when Fear Inoculum was released) the first moon of Atlas Coelestis, Almagus, was eclipsed which added it to the constellation. 1 + 143 = 144…a fibonacci number. Therefore Fantano’s real review score is 144/10 - clearly the highest scoring album he has ever reviewed.
Congratulations Tool, you’ve done it again!

My heart is broken in multiple time signatures

Your Lana review is too late Pitchfork already provided me with an opinion

[Speedojesus]

>red flannel


>face covered with hands


>5k dislikes


oh no.

[miracleofsound]

It's interesting how polarizing the album is/was. Personally I absolutely adore it - to me it feels like a beautiful musical and lyrical synergy that creates a mellow, meditative examination of growing old, anxious and tired - something I can definitely relate to as an old fart rocker, lol.
And I disagree 100% on the chugging in Invincible, to me that groove is pure joy and super addictive :) I do agree on the boring interludes though... those were always my least favorite part of the band's work

[claudedcommunitycentre]

Imagine changing your music taste because someone didn't like it

Edit: jeez.. it's like Somme in there
Just listen to whatever makes you feel nice people. ;-)
