Жыл бұрынSkullz reacts to Fear Inoculum by Tool for the first time
Tool is an American rock band from Los Angeles. Formed in 1990... due to Tool's incorporation of visual arts and very long and complex releases, the band is generally described as a style-transcending act and part of progressive rock, psychedelic rock, and art rock. The relationship between the band and today's music industry is ambivalent, at times marked by censorship, and the band's insistence on privacy....Tool has won four Grammy Awards, performed worldwide tours, and produced albums topping the charts in several countries.

As polished as you'll get with TooL, an absolute masterpiece of an album , Danny at his finest....Justin takes the lead, Adam unleashes the riffs of a lifetime....and Maynard, as pure and as heartfelt and present as he's ever been, his voice is almost angelic.....he caught some grief for not doing the old screams and the anger seems to have subsided and become more whimsical, but they deal with the issues of life in your late 50's and early 60's examining society, questioning everything and most importantly dealing with the sting of time......I've spent 30 of my 55 years on this planet with these guys, and this chapter of the book is perfect!

Totally agree. I'm 10 years younger than Maynard and have been listening to them since 94-95. Growing up and older with their music i have been blessed to be in roughly the same age bracket so feeling the same emotions. Early tool - opiate and undertow are raw and angry. Aenima and Lateralus are more trying to work out who and what you are and where you fit in with everything. Still angry at times, but also trying to work out how it all fits together. 10000 days starting to have to deal with grief and setbacks. Become more self aware. Finally fear inoculum where you are starting to think about your own mortality and reflect a little on the world through your accumulated wisdom.

13 years of waiting, and it resulted in probably the most interesting Tool album I feel. Fear Inoculum is whole different beast than Tool’s previous albums. Much more interludes in-between 6 absolutely colossal tracks. It’s so grand in scale. However my biggest take away is how much more mature it feels than the previous albums. Not to say there wasn’t maturity on previous albums, because there was plenty. But here it’s so much more readily apparent, and it really makes this album an experience that is entirely it’s own, while still being able to stand tall among Tool’s masterful discography. Can’t wait to see your reactions to this album 🤘

This song got me through some very rough times. The timing of its release was honestly the best I could've asked for. Came out near the end of 2019, and to me the song is about targeting the toxicity in your life and getting rid of it. I took that message to heart and dropped off of most social media and made it my goal to eliminate any toxic relationships or toxic interactions. Going into 2020 that turned out to be the best thing I could've ever done for myself. Inoculate yourself against fear, don't let it turn you toxic.

This was the single released around a month before the album dropped, so it was the first new Tool song fans got in 13 years and a teaser for the rest of the album. Just about the same time they also cleared up whatever legal issue they had been dealing with for a while and finally made all the previous songs available on streaming services. When the album first came out, I just couldn't help but smile when listening to it for the first couple weeks.

10,000 days was more of a social commentary then a step back for me also just an album to dedicate to his mother, this is easily their most progressive album they’ve ever done, and their best production, it’s very meditative, the albums concept is exactly the title to inoculate fear, if you play the album top to bottom all the way through you get the light to dark path, but if you play in reverse bottom to top starting with tempest you get the dark into light path, it’s all about duality and Alex Greys painting called DMTurner, there’s a lot to explain but that’s the gist of it, my third favorite album of all time, it’s truly remarkable how tight they play and how much their musicianship progressed on this album, descending is definitely my favorite but I love every single tack, Tool doesn’t even have one okay track in my eyes they are all 10/10 🌀
@JasonLevine1178 Жыл бұрын
Keep in mind the advances in technology in the last 13 years that affect what you are hearing. The synth pads that Danny uses to instantly generate different drumming sounds were much more primitive circa 10,000 Days. The ability to mix is similarly improved. Finally, MJK is in such a different place now than he ever was before. He seems grounded, centered, a happy husband and father. The lyrics reflect this.

When I first pressed play on this album after a 13-year wait, I was beyond excited and almost afraid to finally hear this album. The album had been pushed back year after year, with rumors of a release date always proving to be false. So I didn't even believe the album was going to be real and come out until I saw the pre-orders become available. But the time had come, and I laid back on my couch, headphones on, eyes closed, and was immediately transported to another dimension with this song! The whole album is very hypnotizing, immense, complex, beautiful, and powerful, and it's my favorite by TOOL. I think I've heard it over 200 times, and I'm still catching new things! When you start memorizing all the complex polyrhythms of each instrument and can follow the time signature changes, it gets even better. I've been absolutely loving your journey since the beginning, and it's been quite a few months of waiting for you to get to this album. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Just because you’ve found some strong new perspective doesn’t make you immune to the worlds whims. Fi is now taking all of that history and turning it into tangible wisdom.

Nicely done Skullz, as usual. I've been firmly in the "this album was absolutely worth the wait" category since first listen. I was actually surprised when I heard some people were disappointed. I try not to be all "chest out" about my Tool fandom because thats silly and I also get that many people are emotional about Tool for many different reasons. For me, this album feels like my favorite band stole the thoughts from my head and set them to beautiful music. Many of their songs have made me cry for different reasons but this album makes me cry and I don't even know I'm doing it. Its the emotion in the soundscapes backdropping lyrics like "we are...one spark. Eyes full of wonder" or "one...drive...to...stay alive!" just completely disarm me. I decided long ago that picking my "favorite" Tool album is like trying to pick a favorite kid. I love them all for different reasons and I feel lucky to have listened to them since I was 15.

This album has a sampling of their whole catalog. Just in this song, there are parts that would be right at home on Lateralus and Ænima. Even the vocal section starting at 12:00 could be from something Maynard would have done with Puscifer. By the way, a lot of those percussion sounds at the beginning are done with Tablas.

This album feels more like a master looking back on his past ordeals and reflecting and teaching what he has come to known. Tool (both band members and production team) seem to be at their peak in terms of creativity and skill in this album. Also, I find that this album has a sort of political commentary to it. Fear Inoculum (song) can be taken as someone looking past what popular media is telling them and seeing the lies that they've been spewing for years. Exhaling their contagion of fear and excorsizing them from their body and mind. Descending and 7empest also go into another foreground of the political landscape. Just something to keep in mind as you continue with the album

I was bummed out when this album finally came out. It was not the album I was expecting and it took me like 3 years for just some of it to grow on me. I think most of the songs are way too long and don't actually go anywhere, but at this point, I enjoy listening to Pneuma, Descending, and 7empest (like the first 8 minutes, anyway)

This song, to me, functions as an overture in an opera: it’s one piece that kind of encapsulates the entire album. The art on your shirt is one half of the album artwork called “The Great Turn” by Alex Grey. It shows a being that is connected at their torsos and each have their own heads and arms. One side is a “light” side and one is a “dark” side. I hear the album moving from the light side of the art (Pneuma) moving to the dark side (7empest). The song Fear Inoculum does a good job of demonstrating this: beginning more subdued and calm and progressively getting more intense, dark, and aggressive with that literal halfway point at the lyric “mitosis.” The song “Descending” functions in the same way. The first half of the song being kind of a last grasp at holding onto that light, and the second half being aggressive instrumentals. The timing is fun in this album. “Exorcise the malady” section is 11/8 in the instruments beneath Maynard singing in 7/8. 7empest is in 21 the whole way thru 😅

Damn Skullz I'm really glad you're getting this perception early in life. I'm really looking forward to your thorough analysis of Pneuma's lyrics. One breath, One spark. Spiral out, Skullz.

The fact that this album came out just as COVID 19 did just amazes me. Like most people I had unlimited time to dive into this album and I feel like it was a vaccine against all the madness that has happened in these couple years. I just hope our society reaches its own "pneuma" point and realizes we are all one. To be malicious to any part of society is to cause harm to all society. Thank you Tool for showing how progress is possible, even for those of us who are "angry metal-heads" like myself :) Thank you Skullz and all the others for spreading awareness about this precious national treasure.

“Contagion I exhale you” “Bless this immunity” on a track and album called Fear Inocullum that came out in 2019??? Tool has always been ahead of the curve, and I find it very interesting that these words were used less than 6 months before the world came to halt because of fear…fear of the air, of even exhaling, fear of our immunity, and basing the future of our freedom on an inoculation. Fear was the most destructive virus in the last 3years, and one that we are still just beginning to realize the damage from. Musically FI is unmatched…I don’t love the choices Maynard made, but those choices are indicative of his maturity and abilities changing on a journey into middle age. I just can’t help but wonder what FI would sound like with young angry Maynard behind the lyrics and the mic🤔.

This album came out august 2019; several months before Covid hit the world. Interesting to listen this album in context to that.

First time seeing one of your videos. I really enjoyed this and agree with so much you had to say. Tool is one of my all time favorite bands. I would have to say this and lateralus are without a doubt my 2 favorite tool albums. This whole album is great and such a masterpiece. I feel a lot of times this song gets over looked. Great album look forward to watching you listen to rest of it.

I'm in that latter camp of WTF happened to Tool? Spot on about the heaviness of the album so far. And the guitar effects so it seems. It's a lot. For me it took a long time for me to let it "breathe" until I found it accessible. I went back to Danny. It's like he's playing smarter this time around. Or even smarter? Loving the lyrical breakdown as always.

Hey skullz.skulls.. don't know if anyone mentioned this.. when he sings the lyric,, "Mitosis"...(meaning loosely to divide) is exactly the halfway mark of the song. I look at this song as a tale of two hands. Pre mitosis...post mitosis.
