Great album but lol that pika gives this a 5 and Fear Inoculum a 1. Again, this is great shit, but can never compare to Tool.

I’m comparing the fact that pika gave this a 5 and Fear Inoculum a 1. Like I said above. That’s what I’m comparing.

I guess man, I love both so maybe I’m projecting too much or something. Regardless, that’s such a substantial separation— The Tool album is literally one of the worst albums of all time to him, which is ludicrous— subjectivity or not. While this is one of the best albums of all time (it’s great but I wouldn’t go that far — now Vheissu, I buy).

Tool's music is just rehashed and repetitive nu metal riffs over long songs. The drumming is literally the only acceptable thing about the band.



Early Thrice are fun and moshy, Later-era Thrice are cool and pretty.

As expected. The haters and snobs who dislike Tool are bullshitting again. If you’re a fan of Tool and have heard things like “The album is very disappointing.” Or “13 years for some improv in Dm pentatonic for 90 mins.” Don’t listen.



Fear Inoculum is absolutely fantastic and anyone who likes Tool is going to fall in love with it, so if you are shitposting about it you’re either joking or not a fan. So, here’s some advice, you might want to stop wasting your time listening to albums and bands you know full well you won’t like before you even start it and use that time to enjoy artists and groups you actually do like, or better yet, go make your own music.



As regards to Fear Inoculum, I’m hesitant to say it’s their best record to date, it could be. Let’s remember Lateralus wasn’t the holy grail of Tool upon the first listen, more like “what the fucking shit did I just experience.” Fear Inoculum is a lot like that, as far as I’m concerned (MY opinion) Lateralus is the only record still standing up to Fear Inoculum and i will have to listen many many more times before I come to a conclusion on which is better, if I come to a conclusion.



In other words (fans), don’t listen to the butthurt, wanna be music critics who are probably salty because of all the attention Tool is getting while there favourite band can only dream to support them one day, Fear Inoculum is fantastic. And that is coming from a fan of Tool, not an obsessor, or a hater. Just a casual listener.

Just enjoy the shitposts and copy pastas. I know when I’m a grandparent I will excitedly tell my children about the great memes that spawned from the release of Tool’s post-hiatus records

When Tool releases their next album in a 2063, after a 44 year hiatus, your grandkids can shitpost their own memes about it here
