>graphic design is my passion
no way that's the coverlol
Toot?
I don’t think the font goes with the artwork at all
This is the same band that gave us this cover
Holy shit is that seriously the album art?
at least that sort of fit in with the time period it was released
Tool covers have always been shit
i cant believe how shitty this cover is
Lateralus > 10K > Untertow > Aenima
don't @ me
>10k
>above anything
its bollocks
goob
>Maynard's best vocal performance
>more accessible but still complex as ever
>Wings Pts 1+2/Rosetta Stoned/Right in Two are arguably peak Tool
you're bollocks my dude
Its like a teen drama version of tool. Right in two is the cheesiest thing they've ever done
are you retarded? thats a shitty scan of the holographic physical art work of course it looks like shit
Vicarious, Jambi, the Pot? All fucking great
That's a slipcase dummy
Does it bother anyone else the album art is "animated"? Like it seems less official.
I haven't seen a post of a static image that says "This is the album art", just that animation
those eyes look so bad
true, probably the coolest album inserts of the 2000s.
There's probably going to be a static image up within the next couple days, they announced a single and pre-orders would be coming then.
Is Yea Forums hyped for this album? I know I am.
Definitely.
Imo no Tool album is consistenly great, but all of them have at least some fantastic tracks.
Get ready fuckers, this will be AOTY no matter what.
HOLY SHIT IT MOVES
Hell yeah
I thought Undertow and Aenima had good covers but then I'm a fan of minimalist designed sleeves.
Their best album after Aenima.
As a vocalist Maynard peaked with Aenima but otherwise you're right. Don't forget the one-two punch of Vicarious and Jambi either.
I really like the font. has a Metropolis feel to it. but I dont think that's the actual cover art.
>13 years for this
OH NONONONONONONONONONONO
>excited Tool is finally on Spotify
>remember I only like 2 songs
the only band to come back and not dissapoint is MBV. all the rest really suck hard and should stay in their coffins.
Mbv was never good and portishead had a better return than anyone
What is slowdive and portishead...
>85 min
>7 songs
The best Tool songs are the longest ones, but there's no way they can pull it off for a whole album. Most of the songs in 10k Days devolved into insufferable prog wankery by the end.
Failure
One time I was listening to Lateralus in the middle of an acid trip. When I looked at this album cover, it came to life. The whole cover was illuminated and the shadows behind the guy made it look like he was moving
Cool experience/10
I'm sitting here thinking how much my life has changed in the last 13 years and realize I don't really like tool all that much anymore.
>random jams with Maynard singing over them
I watched the lateralus album art come out of the speakers envelope me to the ending of third eye on on a good rip of salvia.
Fun stuff.
It saddens me how they delivered a fantastic comeback with a new modern and unique sound and everyone already forgot about them again. True underdogs.
t. portishead
>portishead had a better return than anyone
yeah plagiarizing the silver apples is a super comeback.
this t b h
used to be obsessed with them
doesn't help that they sold out to the zoomers on spotify
Ah yes, Silver Apple, the infamous deppressive industrial trip-hop band with sad female falsetto vocals.
hope its good
>everyone already forgot about them again.
I'm part of the problem; I still haven't picked up the new one :/
how do I learn to like Tool and how do I get excited for this?
>13 years to design THIS
well it literally looks designed in the early 2000s.
it's obviously why it took so long
or they just, you know, got with the times like everybody else. even king crimson's on everything now
The image is fine, standard Tool affair.
Typography is fucking abysmal and I hope it's not on the final cover.
the fact that they took this long is anti-sellout
nobody buys physical media anymore so their music would die out if only available second hand and torrenting.
this. plus, the entire point of putting music on streaming platforms is to curb piracy a little bit. most people don't see the need to torrent/download music when they can get almost anything they want for a few bucks a month, especially when they can save some hard drive space for movies or whatever else. not everybody, and obviously most people on here probably still download stuff, but it still has significantly decreased the general ubiquity of music piracy
Wrong it's this
Actually quite dig this
It's not animated it's an optical illusion you retard
it's ok. i was hoping for some new alex grey dopeness. but i suppose there's always the gatefold/booklet
it's funny cause you're wrong
cool
ATTENTION
THIS IS NOT THE FINAL COVER ART, ONLY A SMALL PIECE OF THE ENTIRE IMAGE.
bad as yours babe
>more spiral shit
jesus christ maynard give it a rest with the spirals
lol. first time I've seen that album mentioned on here. I enjoyed it quite a bit too, except for that stupid closing track.
I agree. Since lateralus, I've kinda lost track. 10k days was "meh" to my earsbrains.
Maybe fear inoculum will be better.
Lateralus it's kinda tricky top IMHO.
And yes, I'm an old fart. I remember searching in stores for undertow, and 56kmodems.
Its obviously TooA
Tool is a gateway band of the worst kind. It's bad metal, a clusterfuck of wacky time signatures and cheesy lyrics that aren't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in excessively long songs and DEEPNESS. The normal user can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the band itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad.
However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for aspie, unsociable underageb& faggots who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. Maynard trying his hardest to look cool, the Bill Hicks aping, the posing in shadows and the armchair understanding of philosophy fuels their pretentious fantasies, while the droney riffs and bass lines, emphasis on not playing at the same time signature, and overall pretentiousness of the music makes it fit just right with the mary-sueish drives of your average preteen and his sense of unwarranted self-importance towards the world. Exactly the kind of shit that makes little kiddies and underageb& retards eat this shit right the fuck up.
Tool is basically THE band to attract the most hated musical fanbase known to Yea Forums, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every user to troll the fuck out of this show and everyone who likes it, and ensure that no Tool threads ever encourage the newfriends to show their faces here.
Listen to Schism and Vicarious like a normal person?
that's alex grey's doing, and really it's cause he does too much dmt all the time
Have sex
¯HOOH–_
I've never liked that album art
>normal user
Thanks for the fresh pasta though.
nice weeb pasta. you fucked up cause you kept 'this show' at the end there
>fresh
shit's at least 5 or 6 years old
how bout jackin' it on acid and all you can see is the cover of this album in your mind's eye and think about oprah... fat oprah, not even the one that was skinny for a few months in the 80's
WHERE THE FUCK IS THE ALBUM LEAK
The title track is being released on Wednesday
I like the cover art
And also im sure there is some gimmick to the artwork on the actual album, much like Lateralus and 10000 Days did.
>I like the cover art
It looks like something from the early 90s
Shit, didn't notice. Thanks.
There's always room for variants
Looks like Alex Grey wants too much money for his paintings now, so Adam threw something together.
That's the wrapper for the cover. The real art is under it. They spent a fuck ton of money on it, too.
>Being angry enough to pound this into your keyboard
>Being lame enough to copypasta it
tl;dr version: "STOP LIKING STUFF I DON'T REEEEEEEEE"
BASED. PREPARE YOURSELVES.
Slowdive's new release fucking sucked
It's already copypasta. Proof that people who like Tool are newfags
>Cinema4D youtube tutorials is my passion
And? You can say it looks like shit, saying it looks like something from the early 90s doesn't make much sense as criticism
He expecting flying cars an shit or what? I think it looks cool and at the least fitting. Not sure if i care for the font but personally it will grow on me in time, just like all the other albums have
>farts

Death Grips is garbage
has big tits
This is my favorite Tool album cover since Aenima
same i love it
For everyone saying the cover is shit the case has LEDs and batteries in it the case is literally gonna have an animated cover and it'll be dope af
sauce?
The Heart is A Monster is excellent, I picked up my copy, but I wasn't too fond of their softer/somewhat Beatlesque sound on the one from last year.
If there isn't a song lyrically like Hooker With A Penis where Maynard just shits on Tool fans for pissing him off for years with "WHEN'S THE NEW TOOL ALBUM BROOO" I'm gonna be disappointed.
fear a lotta cum
>all the rest really suck hard and should stay in their coffins.
Infinitely true about Sleater-Kinney, their first rebirth record was a step down, but yikes their newest is awful.
i think just Inoculum wouldve been a better album name
I lurk on r/Toolband and have for months let me find the posts but the battery quote was from a guy who saw Danny at Maynard's restaurant talking to a waitress speaking about how "they didn't want to be another Samsung" and how they were trying "figure out batteries in packaging"
>Maynard just shits on Tool fans
why shit on the very people that puts the food in your table?
Also when they posted the cover it was animated
all of their covers are animated on twitter
If it's done in a humorous way like Hooker With A Penis then why not? It'd be pretty amusing.
No they have music they aren't animated.
if I didn't know anything about tool, i would think this was a djent record
Apparently a single is being released Wednesday?
portofsoundrecords dot com slash products slash fear-inoculum-cd-bundle
Sold out already?
it probably is
this is the timline where they use midi triggers for danny's drums and amp sims for the guitars
Yes sadly. But I'm sure they'll have more after the initial wave of pre-orders
This is WAY better. No comparison.
Consequences clearly dictated their course of action with this album cover
it looks like the cover of a 90s amiga game.
have sex
Because they still listen and buy hes stuff despite whatever he does
I should start a trve kvlt xtreme black metal band and just blow a load onto paper then using it as a J-card and it still would be a better cover.
Agreed, fits better since all their albums except 10kd are one word only
since when is tyler the creator a band
That font looks fucking terrible though
is it seriously called fear inoculum?
this album is going to suck
>digits
hard to argue with that
Innocuous digits checked.
Is it gonna be photoshop kino?
His wine puts food on the table now boy
This will be good but they will never be able to surpass 10,000 Days.
op here, meant to post this
>spiders spiders spiders spiders
Fuck you
10,000 Days had a great cover
Yes.
I'm thinking a light 6 for this one.
Just keep listening
I started buying CDs because of Tool.
You're garbage
It's August 7th now. Where's the new single?
Is this really the cover for the new Slipknot
they somehow outdid The Gray Chapter in how much of a joke it is
You may have point, but you clearly haven't seen them live.
if you think that's bad you should listen to the actual album
Toot - Cock Frenulum
Would you take maynard's 6 inch and slightly thin penis all the way down to the base

Exclusive live track or some shit
the built-in lens thing was incredible
The Pot is a great track too
and Vicarious and Jambi
it's gonna be cricket noises
>OMG ITS LIKE MY 3D TOYS :O
grow up.
I have been for YEARS
More like a 10 minute long re-recording of Opiate.
their physical packaging has always made it worth it to buy the actual albums.
10000 Days in particular was a work of art.

Igor AOTY
there’s a new Opeth album??
starting to be glad I didn’t kill myself last year
>comes out tomorrow
eat me fag
it was an entirely original concept and executed really well.
you can’t tell people to grow up when you bitch about trivial shit on the internet.
What made you think they would never release an album again? Wtf?
>standing up to bullies
Just don't look them in the eye and walk away
I get off on talking shit back to them.
it doesn’t matter, there’s no winning with these “””people””” anyway, but I can’t help myself.
how about it releases vapour that zoomers will want to inhale.
its shit
earth's comeback is literally the GOAT
Honestly, I don't give a shit about prog metal, but Opeth is one of my favourite bands and I can't hardlt wait to hear the new one.
Wait, how come you didn't know that? I posted several times about In Cauda Venenum, but nobody really cared. Glad you didn't killed yourself, user.
They even lanced a new song.

>Eiffel 46&2
holy kek
It might be better if you off yourself before listening to that disappointment kid.
What a child
this shit is why everyone hates Tool fans
>neck yourself
Alex Grey has hinted that this is only part of the new cover
Seeing alot of love as well as misunderstanding for TOOL. Kinda weird to see people speak up about my favorite band for once. I feel like in order to understand TOOL you really have to be open... idk, emotionally lol. Which I think alot of people have a hard time doing anyways. It blows my mind to know there's people out there that don't like OR love them, cause they really are such a touching, artistic, emotional, dynamic experience. Seriously some of the most beautiful music and lyrics ever. If you haven't truly listened to tool and what Maynard speaks about on Lateralus and 10,000 days through his poetry, I promise you're missing out. He speaks about what REALLY matters in life in general as well as his personal life which are relatable. Those lyrics truly helped me come to peace and understanding my own questions and frustrations about life at a pretty early age... I guess you can say I've always questioned life and always have tried to stay grounded as possible. Tool truly spoke to me, cause these are the things Maynard speaks about on Lateralus. The things that truly matter.. no bullshit poetry. Not to mention Adam Jones has literally the most badass rig and tone ever. Go listen to Jambi or live videos of "the grudge" from 2001. CRAZY guitar tone. That is all. (I'll probably continuing editing this as I don't often get to fully express the reasons why tool are great in one go.)
>you will never lick your own asshole
What is Swans
Also MBV's self-titled has some killer moments but it's nothing to write home about
It is odd, people are coming out of the wood works for this
Breaking Benjamin
Shinedown
Buck Cherry
Finger Eleven
Skillet
It still looks like shit on the shelf
cool, thanks for your input
not sure if this is a copypasta or not, but I agree with you about the guitar tone at least
It's an event album, from a band that actually matters. Not many of those around anymore.
>somewhat legendary band releases album after 13 years
Yeah, odd that so many ppl are hyped
Checked. This is pathetic
>The house lights go out. It’s pitch black. We collectively fill that darkness with a meditative calm followed by blood-curdling screams of carnal ecstasy before a 90-minute time capsule of explosive visual and sonic bliss whisks us away to a transcendent state of genre bending art metal. Each experience was as comforting as the one before it, like visiting a cozy winter cabin located inside a snow globe that’s inside a slightly larger winter cabin that’s inside of a grandmother’s soul.
>my favorite band
It’s MY favorite band you FUCKING POSEUR!
> It blows my mind to know there's people out there that don't like OR love them
i've always loved tool but it's pretty easy to understand why they're not for everybody. their production style isn't exactly everybody's cup of tea
>come back
Tool never broke up though.
Shouldn't that single be out by now?
But I'd trade it all, for just a little
PEACE OF MIIIIIIIIIIIIIND
neither did mbv, they were just on 'hiatus.'
>Why yes, my favorite Tool song is Parabola, how'd you knew?
>every song is over 10 min
>there will be a "single"
are they really going to trim it down for radio play?
Salival Pushit > pushit
>tool
>on the radio in 2019
no need to trim it down, they'll probably just release a music video for one track
Why does this exist
if it's not jarring claymation I will LITERALLY abuse a stray cat
This guy gets it
Everyone says this. Great version, really is. But I can't agree
I saw salival Pushit live
Nah
My local buttrock station still plays Tool regularly, 46 & 2, Schism, and The Pot are on regular rotation.
so that means Tool is buttrock too
>so that means Tool is buttrock too
Definitely.
I read the whole article and at one point he tries a 2008-tier zinger about Fox News. Genuinely surprised he didn't write it as 'Faux' to really show that's he's down with the kids.
Considering how long that shit has been in the works, it better come with vouchers for blowjobs.
>TOOT
>As life drags on, very few things retain any purity. Everything that is good at one point becomes bad. Love fades. Relatives die. Your parents start watching Fox News. A lot of your dreams don’t come true, and worse, some become nightmares. I have found myself needing some sort of reliable source of untainted happiness.
lel, I’ve never heard of this guy but he doesn’t seem like he’d be much of a “comedian”. Maybe he’d do better as a professional faggot
>SOUL
Based Tool going to release AOTY
There never was no new album, they're just releasing a remastered version of Opiate. Tool is a troll band.
Its been leaked for weeks boys...
The cover is good. You're all silly.
That beveled gold text is ugly as shit and the swirly eyes thing is okay, but kind of generic
I think the text looks cool
Post some other swirly eye album art
you have bad taste then
Well I admit that abstract art with eyes is a Tool trademark, but this particular iteration looks like it could be a frame grab from a music visualizer
>you have bad taste then
no u
Album leaked
wat
youtube.com
React to this like it's a leak of Fear Inoculum. I'm not even going to delete the post just do what I tell you to do.
no
Bullshit. Link or it didn’t happen
I’m predicting a 3.8 from pitchfork.
>Having to take drugs to enjoy terrible music.
Just when I think that tool fans couldn't be more cliche you came with this junkie faggotry.
Oh and a light to decent 5 from Fantano.
This is why I don't come to Yea Forums anymore and I don't even like the autistic nu metal of tool.
All of you are still obsessed with those shitty critics instead of talking about music. Grow a good pair of fucking balls.
I didn’t expect this to be their best album desu, but that sounded like shit
Vicarious is like a song they should've done 20 years prior. The subject matter was 1996.
'Stinkfist' is what you're getting at then.
lol, Pink Floyd figured this shit out in 1994
Tool was my favorite band as a teenager and i kind of forgot about them. Now with their catalogue on streaming i realized how fucking pretentious they are and honestly, MJK's lyrics tend to be very obnoxious.
But i can't help but love them. I have a weakness for bands that wank sludgy riffs and no one does it like Tool.
I love how bass oriented the band is too.
But i'm feeling bad for listening to them cause some of the lyrics feel downright cringy to me at this point. But i just can't stop listening for nostalgia reasons.
Is MJK the worst thing about this band? What is the patrician alternative for Tool, Yea Forums?
you could just try getting over yourself and enjoying the lyrics for what they are?
>Is MJK the worst thing about this band?
Adam is a pretty unoriginal guitarist
but he needs to prove his intellectual superiority to strangers on the internet
Is there a bigger pseud filter than Tool and NIN lyrics?
>Adam is a pretty unoriginal guitarist
Are you fucking retarded?
Name me 3 guitarists he rips from
I know what you mean. I like edgelord stuff, but stuff like Aenema just sounds like the journal scribbling of a loser teenager.
Whoever invented power chords and the fifth interval.
Whoever invented the nineties.
Whoever invented the seventies.
Buzz Osborne
JB Bigham
Robert Fripp (poorly)
Who here preordered the special edition?
Or did all the loser teenagers we knew growing up (myself included) just really like Tool? Chicken/egg argument
aenima was peak tool sry boyo
DOWNWARD SPIRAL
Tool is easily one of the most consistent metal bands of all time, with one of the most tight discographies ever made
There is not a bad song on Undertow. There is not a bad song on AEnima. There is not a bad song on Lateralus. There is not a bad song on 10,000 Days.
There are songs that are worse than others - The psychedelic ambient passes all aren't very good but I don't count them among the actual songs of Tool, I count them as a kind of addition to the full album experience, as in they're not something you sit down and listen to, but parts of an album that make a more cohesive experience.
Say what you want about them - The lyrics can be edgy or pretentious, but certainly not as bad as many of Tool's contemporaries. They have an above average vocabulary and genuinely do seem to put effort into those things.
It's just very tightly written, well crafted, well executed with entirely very talented band members, making accessible Prog Metal and Thrash.
Sure, the fanbase often acts like Tool is some kind of massive, life changing psychadelic supergroup where "You just have to smoke weed/do psychadelics while you listen, bro... Like, fibonacci and spirals n shit dog...", but if they listen to shit like Ween they can't recognize it as music.
It's not as experimental or progressive as a lot of other bands. That makes it an entry level cool-music for people to think they have some in-depth music knowledge for listening to.
But does the fanbase make the music worse? Does it affect your listening experience? If so, you need to stop being such a dork and just enjoy the music.
Tool's a good band. Can't wait for the album.
the tool
lol
B&R
Agreed
and yet still probably the biggest contributor to the band
I've never agreed with a post on Yea Forums more than this one. Good shit.
wow its nothing
>t.
if this is the sound of the rest of the album, apc and puscifer killed what was left of maynards old roastied throat
I think that age killed Maynard's voice.
>cool as fuck intro actually gets pretty hype
>maynard enters .. OH NONONONNOOOOO
>probably the weakest climax of any tool song ever
the lyrics are kind of fucking gay but the rest aint bad
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
Yeah, vocals aren’t the strongest part of this song
anthony fantano will give this a 9, he'll give anything a 9
who cares
Cutting 3:15-3:35 out of my file
The rest I love, or at least I can learn to
it's not, this is the actual cover
Danny on the left
Justin in the back
Maynard in the middle
Adam on cashier
Buzz Osbourne peeking
that album cover tops Lift To Experience in being pure garbage.
honestly looks like a cover of a blank writeable DVD
amazing
name a better song in 2019... protip you can't. and also no one in this thread would even agree with you.
