Tool announce new album, Fear Inoculum, coming August 30

[rifft]

Looks like it's actually happening! They're also bring their old albums to streaming platforms this Friday.

 

[Chris Bowsman]

16 to 30-ish year old me is really excited about this.

Unfortunately, 40 year old me is a little jaded and has moved on.

 

[coreysMonster]

Luckily I'm still 30. FINALLY!

Get hype

 

[Avitus]

So stoked. I wish we could call in to work that day for it.

 

[Bdtunn]

I’m happy they are finally going to stream the albums! And the new one too

 

[Ralyks]

Welp, guess I may have to eat my words about the album not actually coming.......... is what I'm hoping to say on August 30th whilst listening to the album.

Meanwhile, we continue to wait for System of a Down to follow up with a new album.

Why is streaming a big deal with albums? Doesn't everyone already have them or can get tehm for free? Just kidding.

 

[chopeth]

the Necrophagist one is round the corner

Most people don't own a CD player anymore with phones and iPads being their main way of listening to music. Even laptops, desktops and cars don't come with them anymore. People tend to like the ease of use of streaming and of course most people don't want to go to iTunes anymore and pay for an album the same price as a month of streaming.

Just watched JRE and he just said it. I'm super curious and pretty excited.

 

[Pietjepieter]

I will sure buy it and lissen to it... However to say i am excited nope... to long ago, to many nice other bands

 

[Avedas]

Good.

Unless Tool was like your favorite band in the world or something I don't see any reason to be salty about them. It's fun to rediscover an old band after not listening to them for years. Tool just does that for you deliberately.

I wonder if they will bother with a single and video. After such a long wait, it might be in keeping with their mystery simply to release the album on the day.

Their IG account said "Lead Track info TBA"

Maynard complaining about how everything is "done by committee" in Tool and how "There's a dynamic of, 'I want this and I've always gotten my way and that's why we're successful, because I don't compromise.'" seems to perhaps be directed at someone specific. I'm not saying that someone is named Adam Jones... but it's Adam Jones.

I remember many years ago reading about them joking about how Maynard's "the lazy one" and Adam's the "slave driver", so yeah.

 

[ArtDecade]

Finally. This means that Tool fans will finally realize what a joke this band is and they can return to their normal lives now that the dream is over.

 

[Soya]

Yeah yeah, August 30 of what year?

 

[jwade]

Christ you people are so whiny. Such negative bs all the time.

Decent band releasing a new album? Cool, stoked to check it out.
