Also, if that IS the case, then the whole "lol were trolling our fans/the people who dig our music and the whole reason we can have a career doing something as cool as MAKING MUSIC" is insanely obnoxious, especially as adults

Well this is the 2nd leg of the Fear Inoculum tour, so naturally, they're going to cram it down our throats

It worked. Last night I was choking on Fear Innoculum.



Half my hangover is prob just from the lack of variety in song choices

I mean, it's mostly just that every album is so much better than this and the energy/originality level here is like a 1/10 compared to their other releases imo

ya my point

i guess "seriously" isnt the right word. rather maybe expectations are just astronomical so something more middling comes off worse

im surprised you dont have this rated more highly lucca

Yeah this might be more 2.5-3, but I just never feel the need to revisit it ever, and for one of my favorite bands that is a MASSIVE problem

But that’s what it is lol. If you look into their career, they’ve had a pretty privileged one that has allowed them to troll the way they have. Not saying I agree with it mind — in fact I’d argue they’ve mellowed out quite a lot these days with the obtuse mind games

Oh yeah, if you've never seen them then you're going to have a great time. The visuals for their live performances are insane, and they're such a tight band that it's ridiculously impressive no matter what they play.



I've just seen them a number of times since like 2004/2005 (can't remember what year specifically) and I wasn't really expecting to pay hundreds of dollars to see like 80% of my least favorite album lol



And yeah, I agree that they've mellowed out a bit, but that whole attitude just gets dumber and dumber the older I get. The whole "I'm a cool artist so I can be a douchebag" thing is less awesome when you're not a teenager and realize that people are just people aha

::brings chair over:: But dude did you hear the timing is in the fibonnoci sequence which is like a mathematical sequence based on numbers and math and theory and the album is a concept album and theres spirituality and theres art and theres math and maynards vocal patterns and danny carey plays drums like bang bang boom and youll reach a new mental playing field and youll trip harder if you listen to the album than if you take 9 tabs of acid and and and and and

I know this is a tongue in cheek comment but holy shit listen to Lateralus, especially if you dig Undertow. It's not an intellectual endeavour, it's just a banging record.

"i've been a fan of tool since 2005 and i can tell you, the band are naturally inclined to deny their fans of what they want. it's like an abusive relationship. if their music wasn't so fucking top notch they probably wouldn't get away with it like they do."



They're the nintendo of the music world.
