I’ve listened to it an ungodly number of times and it gets better every single time

It isn't a super strong song. It does grow on you but it doesn't have the punch of Schism, Vicarious or The Pot. This truly feels like a deliberated single to throw people off.

I remember talking to one of my close friends about Fear Inocolum the day it came out. The first time I heard it, I told him: "I think sounds like The Grudge and the Parabol together, but in a more evolved manner, as if the Tool members grew older and their music matured with them". I didn't listen to it again for some days. I came back to it 3 days ago and, after having listened to it around 50 times, I don't know what else to say... It's Tool and they got yet to on another level, a different level from what (I think) we expected, but on a level that they are going to amaze us like noone else. It's crazy to think that we waited for 13 years for a new album and Tool still prove they are ahead of the curve!

Jim, I was lucky enough to have discovered TOOL back in 1995. They have been huge part of my life ever since then.(going to concerts, listening, collecting everything TOOL, watching videos, etc...) I was so glad to find your channel and watch you "discover" and appreciate them as I do. I was at work when this single finally dropped. I was so excited, I could barely breathe. My reaction was much like yours. I must admit, I was a little afraid that "Fear Inoculum" couldn't possibly meet my hopes, dreams, and super high expectations of new material after a long 13 year wait. When the song finished, I felt like I had reconnected with an old best friend that I hadn't seen in a very long time. My next thought was to get home ASAP and get the headphones out and dig deeper. After about 10 listens, my next thought was, "I wonder if Jim has reacted to it yet?" Thank you so much for your genuine reactions. Always a pleasure to visit with you and your channel.

[@pasit1738]

I didn't want to listen to this song, until the whole album comes out, but since you did it, I had to, too; Jim. Basically I was very afraid, can they fill up the expectations after so long a wait. I'd say yes, Tool did it. At least with this song. I don't think there's any band ever been building up the tension as Tool have been over the expectations. This sound really promising and I hope the whole new album will be as good as this song.

[@MattMuirhead]

Jim - I can't express enough how enjoyable it is being able to be a voyeur while you experience not just this, but all of Tool's music. It's clear that you are truly feeling and internalizing the music the way it was meant to be consumed. It doesn't hurt listening to your cheeky responses as to the nature of the meaning of the song. Everyone will interpret it in their own way, but I think many of us have a good idea in what direction Maynard was aiming here :)

I said from the beginning, that when this album comes out Eat the Elephant will be forgotten. It is the 1st time I didn’t like something Maynard was involved in. Moving from guitar driven to piano driven songs is a mistake for a rock band.

Awesome video! What a great way to start my day. The cello/evo sound is Justin and Adam doing volume swells back and forth, one on the beat and one on the offbeat. This is a killer opening track to start off the album. Like you said, Joe Baressi did an amazing job with the mix.

[@temporarymomentary]

It’s absolutely brilliant song.

My favorite band ever A Perfect Toolscifer.

The rhythms at 6:16 are just a thing of beauty .

[@camillebrenes]

Spot on, got goosebumps watching you react because I had the same reactions, as many of us did. Subbed too Jim! ;)

[@brokenseatbelt]

You have an incredible radio voice, sir. Cheers to you and Tool!

[@christophermalensek6558]

So great to be able to watch your reaction while also listening for my first time.

[@hitniconev1763]

A Hero! It was imposible for me to wait!

Your reaction when Mallard sang with his softer singing voice was awesome.

[@deannaforrest9571]

Evolution...exactly! It feels like the creation of some sort of epic Opera of metal. Not just music but more. The new evolution the next level of the melding of sound, emotion, and driving beats. It just takes you some where else...something more. Can't wait for the release.

I love this reaction so much, exactly my reaction the first time. And the first time hearing it on a surround sound, I shed a few tears. Ive been waiting half my life for this music, and I never thought it would happen. It almost transcends regular music in a way

[@Mazzini11]

"That's a bit tasty, isn't it?" Is pretty much perfect.

[@JadedFish]

You and Lost In Vegas ... best reaction videos hands down!!

[@LordVoldore]

and PinkMetalHead

I love the ‘bro-handshake’ in LIV’s Fear Inoculum review 😆👊🏾

[@ryanb7665]

Yeah... I've heard this song a bit. I'm down to 5 times an hour. I loved your reaction as usual. I was waiting for it.

[@wilferrero244]

Can't wait to see your reactions to the rest of this album, because it's EPIC

[@momishka7]

I didnt choke back the tears of happiness like you did Jim!

[@driiifter]

This song literally makes my body temperature rise up. Everything sounds and is delivered exactly how you would want it delivered to you without you knowing it, it's hard to even describe.

[@ObscureMics]

Really enjoyed watching you enjoy. I should have went with headphones on first listen . .took me half the day to get in a good environment to be able to appreciate it. Amazing
