[@toddhoffman6503]

I have had an almost 30 year obsession with this band. The hours of joy, bewilderment, and love I have received from their music are immeasurable . Only Tool could do this. The expectations, the crazy fans, the amount of time, the rumors, the lawsuit, the infinite hope and love from true fans, and they killed it. FI is beautiful and wonderful. I have never hoped for something so much in my life. A Shit album would have been devastating . But I should have known, Tool is unable to do anything but awesomeness . They are the GOAT. They are the bar. And I love them so much.

[@rubaidaallen2764]

As far as I'm concerned, the guys in Tool do not need to explain themselves or justify why they took this long to release an album. To quote Adam Jones it's not good when it's done it's done when its good. Masterpieces take time. This is Tool we're talking about it.

[@FanaticDrummer]

To make it simple. Its Maynard. Just like it is Serj, and Corey. All the singers get arrogant and they cause so much division in the bands that made them famous its almost impossible to work with them in studio. Maynard gave all his attention to ACP because it was HIS project, not a equal share band. Same with Serj and Corey and their bands, they just ignore it and everyone else has to wait and bite the bullet. Its honestly better to break up then force an album, this album sounds totally forced. The SOAD album will probably be terrible going by the history of how this goes with bands taking too long of a break.

[@colonelangus3826]

FanaticalDrummer I don’t believe it’s Maynard. Look how easy it is for him to write other stuff. He has put out multiple albums on top of running his wine business. He was quoted right when the album came out saying something along the lines of “it was good 8 years ago”. Also he wanted the music on streaming services (like all his other music). Watch his most recent Joe Rogan podcast. He’s not the reason the album took so long but it’s out now so who cares. Hopefully the next one doesn’t take that long!

[@colonelangus3826]

Rubaida Allen if any band doesn’t have their singer stand out in the spotlight it’s TOOL. Have you ever seen a show? He’s in the background making it a point for everyone to focus on the whole package and not just him.

Couldn't agree more Justin & Danny were on a pod cast made by a musician I forget who it was but Justin mentioned he might have a riff he's been playing around with & he sends them to Danny & asks him to put his work to it see what he comes up with. There was 4 or 5 other musicians in the pod cast but the whole conversation it was really obvious how much the 2 of them really enjoyed bouncing off each other. They were actually like 2 new members excited about working together seeing if they could create some unique starting point to a song. Nothing like 2 members who've been playing & making successful music together for 25 years now.

I think it's pretty obvious on the records that these 4 work perfectly together as a group of people or artists. After listening to this it's obvious the complete admiration they've got for each other as musicians which is how they're so successful as a 4 piece. It's actually great to hear how well they get on, it seems most bands have fall outs but these 4 will say every time it's a total collective effort and give & take in the process of making a song. I don't think I do their efforts justice by calling it a song it's a composition of unbelievable complicated & intricate artistry. You don't get a Tool record by listening to it 4 or 5 times. You still find new stuff there after listening 20 to 30 times at the least. I think that's how their music is timeless.

Tool is such an extraordinary group of guys that create the most unbelievable music I’ve ever heard.

Fear Inoculum was worth waiting so many years for - it left me speechless. It is a masterpiece that shows how their artistry is relevant in any decade. I am going to their concert in San Jose next week and it will be my 21st show. I am very grateful to have seen them in the early days and now at this time of their lives.

[@toolbandtube]

Thanks for sharing. Would have loved to see them during the mid to late 90s. Although it feels like a gift being able to do it now.

[@stacycloutier949]

It is definitely a gift for those who are able to witness them live no matter what year it is.

[@ryanb1874]

Man, I love hearing Danny Carrey s passon about the experience. And the conviction that they can work so hard to get themselves, and us exactly what THEY wanted!!

Saw tool live few days ago in Auckland, NZ. Got to hear pretty much the whole of Fear Inoculum album. Didn’t play culling voices. Was so amazing!

[@toolbandtube]

Amazing. Did they play any of your favs?

[@alexgolovchenko3791]

That was one of the best interview segments with TOOL I've ever listened to. Super interesting and informative. It gave me a real in depth insight into not only their process but into their individual personalities, their relationship dynamic and the totally unorthodox way they do things. It adds to the mythos that is TOOL.👁

[@fret2fret221]

I legit laughed out loud when Justin said “oh well actually stand by...” 😂

[@RollieFingers59]

A fucking incredible work of art from top to bottom. This is what happens when the musicians, the engineers and the mastering folks all come together and push the living fuck out of each other and the result is next level.

[@MisanthropicTimeSlipperz]

Danny says fuck every other word and he's sipping on a drink, Justin is all calm and hardly ever swears. Lol. These guys are amazing, fan since 98' and just saw them for the fifth time on Halloween night. No band has ever spoke to me like Tool does, their music is transcendent and on another level.

[@JaimeWulf]

All that hard work and hours show when I listen to this album! Congratulations Tool! And TY!!!

[@neilsshed2755]

Loved tool since my brother showed me them when I was 12. Been growing up listening to them non-stop through out the years patiently awaiting a new album. Boom 2019 Fear Incolum, and straight after that boom Tool Australia tour, first since 2005.Bought 4 tickets and saw them last friday on valentines day. A total dream come true, best day of my life bar being born. Big time "after concert blues"..so much so a trip the US in the future is now in the cards, just for this fucking band man. Fucking love it.

Great to hear. Best day of your life? WOW. That is high praise✌🏻

Greatest album of all time. 7empest is a masterpiece. Got to see them in the UK and going again this year. Absolutely amazing live. Watching Danny play Pneuma live was mind blowing. Listened to this album every week since it came out. Wife goes nuts as it is the only album I play in the car.

[@nathanwalsh3028]

Being a drummer it's one thing to copy what Danny does but I always sit back and think of how much time and effort it must take to construct those time signatures/ those beats/electronics and everything else that goes into his performance...Then play it as if you've been playing it your whole life...

[@danmccabe9318]

7empest is a masterpiece. Thanks for creating legends

[@pawlpoche8736]

[@toolbandtube]

Agreed, it sounds sublime.

[@dominicraynes1569]

My favorite band since 1993. Never got to see them until this year in AC. The show almost didn’t happen. Justin has food poisoning, and Maynard pulled his hamstring hours prior to the show. That show was fucking amazing, the best show I’ve ever seen or experienced. I always missed them for some reason or anther that was completely out of my hands over 20+ years. The fact that they played through injury and sickness is just awesome to the fans. I love it, best band ever. Hands down

[@barkingmadman1169]

Oh please, please, I hope they have at least some type of recording demo during the recording process over the years. Can you image the evolution of these amazing songs? Surely some early iterations are just as genius but got changed into a different genius song. Like Davinci painting over one painting with an equal masterpiece... the original lost to history.

[@kalvinrhone901]

Pentimento.

[@jamesallen884]

Brilliant record! The tone of Adam's guitar is amazing. He confirmed usage of the SoloDallas EX Tower to enhance his already amazing tone

[@chronic2001n]

Been a fan since '92. But for some reason this album is making me re-listen to the others and I've been getting way different vibes from them compared to when I listened to them before years ago. Amazing. When you hear band mates saying they are proud of their members off-hand, you know it's a great band. Not even Pink Floyd members said this about themselves.

I watched him on Halloween night do a solo on a Gong and what he did with those drumsticks I have never seen another human do he was hitting them like you would normally but then he was flipping them around and hitting the gong with the butt end of a drumstick he was doing it so fast it is not even explainable I bet you fifty bucks he could hit a quarter on a wall and make that quarter never drop he is the best drummer alive currently and that night on October 31st blew my mind

Glad to hear what these guys have gone through to make their masterpiece. I and my band have been working on our 3rd album for a year and a half now, and we are close to our master mixdown phase. But there are always adjustments and tweaks that arise. Soon we'll have to put our foot down, but only when we're satisfied.

[@toolbandtube]

You mean 'The band and I'...?🤓 Thanks for the insight. Can't imagine making something for that long. Don't the tracks start to lose their appeal when you continually adjust?

[@sski]

@@toolbandtube HaHa! Thanks for the grammar lesson. Was late when I was watching and commenting. Yes, it has taken some time, but no, the tracks only get better and more appealing as time goes on. Just today I was running a mix for the last song on the album (a huge sounding doom metal piece) where I linked up a small acoustic guitar/cello/flute piece at the end, cross-fading in, that I embellished with some wind and bell effects that summed up the bleak, desolate context of the lyrical content before it. Made my skin go goosebumpy. This production is going to be epic. Understand, our band is based in progressive doom metal but we take a lot of our inspiration from psychedelic sources and orchestra enhanced bands as well, such as Pink Floyd and the Moody Blues (even more so lately). If it takes time to produce our vision, then so be it. Here's our channel if you want to check it out: kzbin.info/door/7z1K_AjMLdyYJ18siY0tdg

I got into too Tool during my freshmen year in high school with only opiate, undertow and aenima albums out at that time. At the end of my senior year of high school laterolus was released and I blown away. I was able to to see tool 5 times with the release of 10,000 days in 2006. My first concert seeing tool was in 2001 in Berkeley, Ca at a high school campus, the opening band was King Crimson, I was with my dad as he grew up to yes and king crimson and raised me to this genre of music and I never looked back. Tool is the only band that heals my pain or if I’m sad or in a bad mood, tool helps me escape. This band is on another level than other bands. Last year(2019) in October tool was tour and they played here in Los Angeles at the staple center. My wife had bought tickets and my parents went with us to the show. My mom not being a fan of heavy metal in general and harder styles of rock and progressive rock/metal growing up. She never really got into tool as I listened to them daily in my teenage years and into early adulthood. My mom surprised me as she has gotten into tool as of recent thanks to my dad. Once she saw them live her mind and the way she saw the band has changed and she is now a huge fan of tool. I’m thankful that I have discovered band .

[@toolbandtube]

Really kind of you to take the time to share that story, Daniel. Thank you. What I have really enjoyed with the Fear Inoculum album have been the stories. People getting into them as teens and now listening to FI as adults, as parents in many cases. This music really does trancend simply music or art. It affects people on a spiritual level and that has to celebrated and shared.

Would have the songs on repeat for days. Then on St. Patrick's day 2020 I had a major heart attack. In the operating room they had me drugged but not unconscious. I had "Pneuma" on my text notifications- the whole thing. I got a text during the surgery and my phone went off., full volume.. That whole thing played, I can't remember if it looped at the end or what happened then but man what music. Fear Inoculum grabbed me deep like the Mahavishnu Orchestra did winter 71-72, and like nothing else had in many years. I know Danny's a fan of Billy (Cobham).
