Tool - Fear Inoculum

I liked it a lot, you can tell Maynard can’t yell like he used to so he’s toned it down, I’d rather have him do that than scream and have it sound awful and it fits. Can’t wait to hear the rest of the album this is really good so far

This is what I keep thinking, about 6 minutes in and all I have to say is "well, it sounds like Tool".

Can't say for sure if that's a good thing or not but surely the rabid fanbase will eat this up.

My first impression is that it's good. It is absolutely a Tool song. This album will almost undoubtedly be solid.

1000% this

And the vocals on some songs on that album were shit

Am I remiss in saying that the album font/art is trash and so far the track is underwhelming

his vocals have never been so clean and (probably) pitch corrected

The song sounds about as nu metal as the artwork looks rip

it sounds like its building to something that never comes

It's .... something. Heard it only one time. Not sure if I like what Adam is doing. Although the midway riff is pretty nice, the structure of the song is odd yet kind of works.

Looking forward to listen to it a few more times.

The art would be fine if it wasn’t for the text

And theres no condescending shit eating facicious tone to his voice anymore

this tool song sounds like a parody of a tool song

toobe or not toobe?

I remember people saying these exact things when 10000 days was first released and imo that album aged beautifully

Yes although that may be forgivable considering it's the opening track. That will depend on how the rest of the record pans out

can't unsee that b now

Danny Carey isn’t human

>poop

POOP

literally lol'd at some of the vocals\lyrics. shite track desu.

10k days is in fact better than Aenima
He's pretty spectacular on this new song

I dunno it's kinda grown on me. It feels kinda more subtle than 10,000 Days and Lateralus which were a lot more explosive. I'm assuming the actual physical will do something more trippy but there's also some people saying this isn't the complete cover art or whatever.

This song didn't even have a climax

I feel the same way here as with Duster's new single. It seems more like an interlude/opener than something to be released individually. Nothing really happens because we don't have the full album, it's 10 minutes of build-up and fuck all payoff.

should've hung it up after lateralus, band would've been legendary

This

Sounds like 46 and 2 without the climax "muscle memory" screaming part, which is the best part of the song

I love the intro but it feels like something is missing.

i liked 10,000 days when i heard it the first time. this time the vocals are just lame. i won't knock the whole album, but i'm not a fan of this song

never really understood the appeal of tool aside from the interesting time signatures. they aren't particularly good songwriters nor do anything particularly interesting sonically

feels like it falls apart around the chorus desu. good buildup but it just goes nowhere

Album art sucks, yes but I really really like the track so far

4 and a half minutes in, they reuse the drums from Disposition
feels like they're trying to amalgamate all their previous work, including TPC

I always thought Korn sounded like a less intrinsic, more mainstream version of Tool, with weaker vocals

Comparing this song to Korn's last album, I'd say they are about neck and neck, with Korn now being the heavier of the two

Definitely not worth a 13 year gap

Korn's new song Cold is amazing.

That'll be $45

I thought the same for years until one day I was listening and everything "popped", like looking at one of those 3d gimmick books and not getting it, but then suddenly you see it

This is just a mash-up of riffs from their other songs, what the fuck? It doesn't even have a structure.

Adam Jones in 2005: we're gonna make a wallesque audiovisual 10,000 days movie instead of traditional video clips

14 years and nothing later: here's our next album btw

there was a time I would scorn you for even suggesting korn is anywhere near tool sonically or sounds anything like them, but if we remove the hype train of tool and the negative outlook people have of corn, I can accept this opinion

You can buy shittier display items for more money.

I imagine getting sued by one of his life long friends over visual art killed any care Adam had for anything visual.

it's good, Danny's still a beast. Seems to not be very wide between the channels, they usually use a shit load of panning.

Saw him at the gorge a couple years ago. He's definitely still got it man.

>it's the opening track
sauce?

>it's actually not shit
Not fantastic (it kind of drags) but gives me hope that this album will be good.

every year matters. his voice has to degrade sometime.

Kinda look's like first part of a song , like wings or parabol

Does the opening part remind anyone else of Dead Can Dance?

whats on that 4" screen that I cant see on my phone

I don't know how you can think 10,000 Days or this track sounds anything like Korn.

Maybe Undertow / Aenima era (Sober could easily be covered by the band), but since they went full prog I'm not seeing it.

yeah. the amount of long awaited albums that end up being disappointing is far too high.

I would've never thaught I'd see the day a new Tool song is released and I'm still a virgin

confirmed on itunes pre order.

lol, tool is the only band where people complain about songs having climaxes or not

ive only listened once so far but it was pretty damn good, that's how i feel about every tool song the first time though, they eventually "click" in a big way. tool makes super cohesive albums that the tracks all work together and that's their strength, kinda hate just hearing a single song and not knowing anything else. cant fucking wait to listen to it front to back in a dark room soon, relive my teen years. danny was 10/10, weakest part of the song is the chorus.

wtf, limited edition?? damn im poor, that sounds wild though

story?

Isn't being a virgin a prerequisite for being a Tool fan anyway?

Someone post the Spotify image of Tool in which they are dressed like old Amish men or some shitty indie folk group

Looks about as tired and unenthusiastic as this track sounds

"Remember us? Yeah we're back. Kinda."

Hollow Life is superior to 75% of Tool's discography and quite similar sonically

It's not all bad, but the vocal performance is a bit underwhelming.

An ok effort but I don't really feel like listening again. It just sounds like 10k days but worse.

They were dealing with a multi-level lawsuit, a friend of Adam's sued the band over some artwork he supposedly made for them and never got credit for, so the band hired an insurance company to take care of it. Then the insurance company sued the band over "technicalities" or something. They've been dealing with the lawsuit from around 2007 to I think 2014

There are actually way more Tool fans than you'd think. At least where I live

just remember, the drummer is 58 years old. the whole band besides the bass player are in the mid/late 50s. not bad for old men making a come back.

I liked the two live tracks a lot more

Can't say I'm seeing it outside of "it's a metal track with lots of open-air harmonics" to it, though I'm not gonna deny that Hollow Life is fucking kino. Sometimes I forget that Korn somehow made a track as good as that.

Cam de Leon sued the band, claiming that he was basically a fifth member of the band cause his artwork was such a heavy aesthetic of the band. He wanted more money, after Tool got big. He lost the suit. Tool don't sell merch with his artwork anymore, they even changed the cover of Opiate. Don't know why they didn't for Aenima.

This absolutely sounds like Aenima era TOOL!

woah i didn't know they were that old. i thought 50 at the most.

That outro solo though holy

THIS FUCKING SUCKS FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING BALD MANLET

I like it a lot, sounds like 10 000 Days. Tool is an easy listening band for me, they're not really a band who reinvent themselves and their sound is kind of samey across their discography, but you know exactly what you'll get (which also means I'm not super hyped for their record, but I'll definitely give it a listen) and their sound is pleasing to me. I'm happy with the toned down and reflective sound of the track.

somehow its even more corny than 10,000 days

those fucking awful apc vocals...

Alex Gray artwork is superior anyway

Justin's basslines are good but nothing too exceptional.

Adam's with his traditional riffage. The riff midway through the song is pretty nice though.

Danny's drumming is the highlight of the song. Fantastic as usual. Loved the Tabla playing in the beginning.

Maynard's was a bit underwhelming. Sounds similar to what he did on the last APC album. I missed some aggression on his delivery.

Still digesting. Most stuff by Tool is a grower.

Got downvoted on reddit cucks for my opinion, I'll repost here.

I hate the vocal production, sounds really touched up and unnatural opposed to Aenima and Lateralus. The entire thing seems like a step further in the 10,000 Days direction which IMO was a massive step down. If this is the level of songwriting they're going for on the whole album then I'm mega disappointed. There's wayyyyyyy better modern prog metal than this. If any other prog metal band had released it literally no-one would give a shit.

maynard's cock, actual size

>I hate the vocal production, sounds really touched up and unnatural
Every prog metal album released in the last decade sucks because of this, I can't stand the way vocals are mixed/tuned now.

Sounds like a pastiche of old riffs and drum fills. Also Maynard phoned the lyrics in again.
I want this album to be good, but this already sounds like 10k days 2.0

Try Night Verses- From The Gallery of Sleep. No vocals.

Had to listen to some real nigga shit to cleanse my pallet after that
youtu.be/o8qAvl7TUxE

8:11-8:44
only good part of the song

Song feels really weak and hollow. No projection to it.

Pretty good track but it sounds too much like 10,000. Hope their other songs are different.

Attached: 1557543459757.jpg (1080x1078, 277K)

I agree but consider in 1993, they really had a unique sound. Their sound hasn't evolved that much since then, but every other bands' sound has. Similar to when Black Sabbath came out, amazing, unique, at the time. Listen to it today its dated.

Second listen I like it better. The vocal melodies are bizarre, not like Mr bungle bizarre, but like meandering. Nothing hits as hard as older albums, but its been 13 years and they're older and richer.

But I am liking it second go around. Guitar tone is killer, same with drums and bass. Vox are so clean, and Maynard head voice never sounded better imo.

>cd
>not vinyl
Boomer move

Doesn't remind of 10kdays at all besides it being very tooly, I guess it is similar to Jambi but that song stuck out to me different from the rest on that album anyway. That song structure is bizarre. I'm loving the drum sound/production, sometimes the kickdrum seemed to have that effect justice uses where the sound dips on everything for a second besides the drum. The cymbals sound odd (but great). Are the lyrics for this posted anywhere? My brain has a hard time deciphering that shit.

1st listen - 6.7
2nd - 7.0
3rd - 7.5
In the context of the rest of the album, this is be a good ol 8/10 song. Tool did it again

On the reddit they say the downvote button isn't supposed to be a disagree button, but I guess they still ignore that rule.

Just marathon'd the song, it's pretty shit t b h

It's 80 min, it's gonna have to be a double vinyl so if they also incldue the screen gimmick then the entire package is gonna be incredibly expensive.

fucking vocals at 7:35 fucking sucks, even in APC he did this shit

I think its fine if bands want to do somet retarded deluxe-packaging for the HC fans but ALWAYS release regular CD and regular vinyl, otherwise you lose out on sales to the moderate fan.

3:15 - 4:00 is the worst, and I almost cringed so hard I was about to turn it off. So bad.

Whats worse is it sounds like its building up to something and just flatlines afterwards.

yeah, that's why it has such a circlejerk-culture

did anyone else LOSE IT when the song featured an odd time signature and maynard warbled and danny carey fucked around on his toms for 128 measures????? i'm screaming

Attached: EBXmK4oXYAAjLEL[1].png (686x153, 21K)

Very true.
Invincible and Descending suffer from the exact same problem.

The album will be disappointing guaranteed, they're just going for the safe songs to retire in peace, and this confirms only younger people can make truly groundbreaking music.

Feels like a mix of Lateralus and 10 000 days

A bit too familiar. Feels like I'm listening to bits and pieces of existing songs.

At least it's not the Arcade Fire bullshit APC turned into.

it was ok

yea

>Descending

Da fuk? Absolutely massive climax

lol, every time with the crying. I bet there's a post somewhere where someone claims that their dog walked in on them listening to it and then stood transfixed in front of the speaker. That's another hardcore fan who can't think of anything interesting to say favorite.

Still weak compared to Third Eye, Rosetta Stoned, The Patient, Parabola etc.
Again, it's not bad per se but it's too "safe".

I remember being insanely hyped for 10k days and then HATING it after the first listen, then liking it more and more; and then finally loving it. Hope it's the same with this one, but so far I'm rather disappointed

same

All their new songs sound like old shit.
rip tool , i hate it that they even wanted to make new albums at all, now they will be remembered by shit album that was literal rehashing of old stuff

Look how APC matured beautifully with their new album that was totally different than their old stuff and yet you know its APC

The screen gimmick is literally a $5 promo item from China, I’ve ordered them before. It’s bs

Vicarious was a banger even if it's a mainstream song. I haven't heard any bangers from the 3 new songs.

Ye that what I was thinking, but I find it odd they would realease a first part as a single

Sounds like they found the shelved B-Sides to 10,000 Days while putting their kids decades old soccer trophies in the closet and decided to release it, took a single promotional photo outside Denny's, and then found one of those free logo makers online for the album art

will probably go triple platinum

Completely blown away. Feel like there was an evolution in sound since they left 10,000 days. With all these "vocal" criticism posts you would think it was something horrible to listen to. Had low expectation after APC disappointment, but I literally feel like this is exactly what I haven't had since 2006.

The layering is amazing and the band really makes the music. All you guys complaining about a build up just may have to wait for the full album and get the whole coherence.

Fear inoculum shows tool is still making songs that have depth and progress. If you would have played this in 2006 it would have been a classic.

Fuck the toxic internet, because that is all that has change since tool's last album, nothing can go uncriticized. Probably why music today sucks. Preordered the 50$ album off amazon immediately after listening.

No I don't think it would have been a classic in 2006, because I still listen to music from 2006, and this is just 'ok'. Nothing about it really captures your attention like their old stuff, and I honestly can't remember the song having just listened to it.

After listening to it once or twice (or twenty, fuck you) I think it's gonna be the first track on the album.
I realize in the past there was Stinkfist, The Grudge, and Vicarious as intros (All strong) - But I think they're definitely going for something different here and while this isn't climatic (really at all) I think it conveys a mood and theme really well.

if this song doesn't take you away your taste in music blows. classic tool, and some people here would make you think like it's a flop. This is more aenima than 10,000 days, and yet people will whine about anything they can.

Challenge: Name a cheesier Tool song than this.

this new track is literally their top 10 hits scrambled and made cohesive so that you think it's original. Only a fanboy would have an opinion such as yours

>and I honestly can't remember the song having just listened to it.

i am not a contrarian i am correct

after 13 years they release B-Sides for quick cash grab

agreed, good post.

It's not shit, but it's not fantastic either. Like many songs on all of their previous albums.

pleb childhood: tool
patrician adulthood: apc

basically this.

at least maynard went onto the joe rogan podcast, but he just sounded like some old wine drinking hipster brainlet who has little involvement with the band and is low on cash.

Rogan: I thought that song, with the fibonacci sequence was amazing. What were the time signatures on that?

Maynard: uh. yeah they added a lot of math for that one. time signatures, im not exactly sure, youd have to ask them. i just listen to the songs and do lyrics.

Rogan: I thought you said once keeping the music off streaming platforms was taking a stand, forcing people to go out and explore record stores, actually buy music and enjoy it traditionally.

Maynard: yeah. maybe that was a mistake. please buy the new cd.

I FUCKING LOVE IT!
FUCK YOU, MAYNARD, FOR 13 YEARS OF WAITING, BUT THANK YOU FOR THE COMEBACK!

I feel like Godspeed had the same issue on their last album. The songs just don't go anywhere

Why do you fags always act like it's all up to Maynard? He has the least amount of input on it.
He didn't start contributing to this album until last year, and he was done after a month or so.

Thanks, needed it after this soi anthem

makes me think

This but unironcally

I just listened to the song and cant remember a single thing about it, thats a bad sign right?

Because believe it or not, he's the leader even if he doesn't want to be.

BASED BLACK MAGIG GIGACHAD CAN CONFIRM

I was expecting nothing. It's fine just unnecessarily long.

I like it, sounds like the whole album may be a continuation of Disposition/Reflection/Triad which goes to show they've aged and are no longer the angry edgy dudes they used to be. I'm just glad they didn't come back with some 4/4 radio rock cash-grab shit because I was so afraid of them doing that

For real It sounds like this:

Except Maynard stands in the back during their concerts.

He's not a frontman at all. Just the singer and lyricist.

>HOLY FUCK MY SIDES HOLY SHIT I CANT BREATHE LMAO POST OF THE YEAR

LMAOOOO

Definitely sounds better now that I've heard it.

It's a bit underwhelming as a title track and the vocals sound forced and focused rather than follow the tone of the song. JMK is really clear throughout the entire song, and then near the peak, his voice gets dirtier and more compressed. I kinda feel like it should be the opposite.

This is an idiotic take. Sure it is generally true, but obviously not an absolute.

i thought they where too high. maybe thats just because i dont like the vocals.

BOOOO
>Hurr durr it has a sitar just like my mario music

there's literally nothing impressive about his drumming. please point out what's so "inhuman" about him.

he’s a god

the fact that he can play same stupid long jams without killing himself

listen to 46&2 or Eulogy or The Grudge or Jambi
although if you don’t already know, it’s too late for you

it took them 12 years to make this? it sounds exactly like 10k days which sounded exactly like lateralus. with that much time between albums you'd think they'd innovate.
for a band that gets lauded for being so creative they sure lack it.

jokes on you, I love the Super Mario 64 soundtrack.
so all I have to say to you is...
SO LONG GAY BOWSER

based, tool should do some vidya ost's like tront.

and that’s a good thing!

Wtf no. Lmao

I've listened a lot now. What I well say is the over use of the delay effect (whether synocated guitars or effects pedals Inc vox) widens the sound but feels like it's compensating for a loss of raw power. The delay at the start feels like a warning for the amount maynard will go on to employ for the rest of the track. The drum mix is good as always giving you a sense of how Danny hears them as he plays. The biggest disappointment seems to be maynards lack of understanding of why we loved him as a lyricist for tool. He's gone with what satisfys him and sure that's fine but leaves a feeling of disconnect with the fans. If you listen again try not to hear how maynard is actually singing and replace it with how you feel a younger more attacking maynard would sing. I mean the chorus and break down parts are fine but the general parts feel like he is fighting the band rather then being syncopated with the drums and a part of the music.

I would cum so hard

Ok I'll start

It took them about 2 years to make this. Also this is just one song, wait for the album, it'll be another 8+/10 atleast if this song is anything to go by.

>durr durr sounds like Super Mario 64 soundtrack
>implying videogames soundtracks can't be good
>implying any Nintendo soundtrack isn't at least decent
>implying SM64's soundtrack isn't great

I'd rather complain about what i've always complained about with Tool, it's supposed to be alt/nu/prog metal but it's way too ambient. Barely any tension and the explosions are never worth it. They focus too much on giving each instruments equal space, and manage to dull down Keynes' vocals in the process. I like the tribal touch to this track, an the riffs sound nice, but again, it doesn't lead to anything worth it.

zZzZ

The way he drums. The songs he makes with the drums

lots of bands play long songs look at isis, neurosis, pelican, jesu, etc. they all play lengthy songs averaging 4 to 12 minutes.
I've listened to every tool album since I was in junior high. DC is as straight forward as it gets. he has a very clean and precise style but so do tons of drummers.

>Music today doesn’t suck
I was hesitant to admit it, but over the last six months I’ve been on a 2010s binge to catch up with all the stuff I ignored or missed and Ive listened to about 400 albums so far from all sorts of genres and at this point I honestly think this might be one of, if not the best decades for music ever.
sure rock is certainly lacking, but there is still a metric fuckton of good music being made.

Tool creates anf releases tension more than any other band though. That's why this song is getting shit on too because tool is the best goosebumps band. This song meanders and doesn't explode more than their usual stuff. P.s this song is great

DC is as straight forward as it gets.

Found the virgin

This is probably a great groove metal song, a great prog single, and a good Tool song. It's Yea Forumscore after all. I'd just still like more SOAD style explosions, but that's just me being an edgelord probably

there is just something special about his drumming that I can’t explain. I get that other people have their own opinions and their own taste, and I wouldn’t consider myself to be some paragon of truth, but there has always been some quality to his drumming that made it stand above the rest of his contemporaries. I can tell you exactly what got me to feel that way originally at least; that drum fill about 4:30 into 46 & 2. I was like 12 when I first heard it on the radio and it blew my fucking mind
youtu.be/Tja6_h4lT6A

I think the guy from Between the Buried and Me is really good too.

sick burn dad

I like it uwu :3

the fuck is this, sound like Enya

There should be more lyrics about wine-making and background percussion that sounds like corks being pulled out of bottlenecks.

I agree that he has a cool style and I do like his drumming but when I see people riding his dick too hard, i just have to bring them back to reality. there are drummers like Zach Hill who actually do things that are incomprehensible. my friend and I used to play tool songs to warm up when we'd practice and they are not difficult songs to play. the most notable feature of DCs drumming is his skill with the double kick drums, but again most metal drummers have similar skill and they usually use it throughout an entire song, rather than how DC uses it, which is usually like a drum roll or an accent. he's a tight drummer, but being tight and precise is like the entry barrier to being a good drummer.

Smile on my face as the bass tone kicks in and I realize Tool is right where it was.

>everyone saying it's 10000 days b sides
feels more like a lateralus rip off to me

I WANT ALL OF YOU TO STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS GLORIFIED NU METAL GARBAGE

thanks for the bump

The chorus pissed me off
The build up was great but when it hit, it felt like they had accidentally muted the main guitar track as there was no punch to it which is what tool do best

no

danny has greatt fucking chops, but that's not why he is a good drummer. hes a god drummer for the way he plays with the rest of the music, very creative and unique style and always fits whatever song it's in perfectly. he isnt just "laying down a beat" the rest fhe band plays over. he just makes great music. drumming isnt about how hard it is to play and being as technical as possible

>>everyone saying it's 10000 days b sides
>feels more like a lateralus rip off to me
it's all the same shit. they've lost their divine inspiration and this is all they know how to do now. most bands have the dignity to call it quits when they get to this point and start working on new projects but tool is a big name so they'll keep milking this as long as they can.

>10k days is better than aenima
Absolutely not. His vocals are so strained on that album and the "breakdown" sections can be cheesy. Aenima is an amazing album from start to finish.

suck it queer

Third eye is just the beggining of the sound they would follow in the future, lateralus and 10000 days, you cant say a song sounds like an album based on one song out of 15.
Besides Third eye is better than this

This 100%. None of Tool are that "Oh hey look how good I am at this thing" guy even though Danny could have spent his life being an arse like that. He moves things along and plays his part even though he's a technical God. That's always been a part of the band's ethic, even financially, they are a unit.
>the "breakdown" sections can be cheesy
i remember thinking that until i saw that clip about how the parts of Wings for Marie layover each other and call/respond through time.

theyre back

I actually like that DC doesn't overuse his double bass. It makes it seem more intense when he actually does use it. Too many metal bands rely on constant double bass blasts to sound "badass as fuck" but they just lack dynamics. Also it should be noted that DC isn't really a metal drummer, he's a prog/jazz-fusion drummer who happens to play in a metal band.

not bad, a grower, kinda lacks of a catchy hook like stinkfist
danny's a beast, as usual

t. brainlet drummer
its about the composition, there are a lot of good technical drummers.

>justin had serious health issues
Wait what?

>hes a god drummer for the way he plays with the rest of the music,
the same can be said about many drummers
>very creative and unique style
I don't hear his "musical voice" the way I can hear Brendan Canty or Zach Hill. I doubt I could pick out Danny Carey if he was playing solo. his style fits with his band very well but alone, it doesn't really stand out.
>and always fits whatever song it's in perfectly.
that's easy to say when you've been in the same band for 30 years and your songs have sounded the same since 2000.
I agree it's nice to have some dynamics but Danny Carey is not unique for this.
im not saying he isn't technical enough, if anything I find his drumming too mechanical and stiff sounding. I hear no human element in his playing, but this could be due to the way they record.

>Zach Hill

Stopped reading right there

>I doubt I could pick out Danny Carey if he was playing solo
I don't know, someone at work was listening to the new song and I immediately could tell it was Tool based on the intro.
I don't even like the band, but he has a distinctive style, compared to other rock drummers.

Apparently he almost died or something. This was like 5/4 years ago I think? Look up tool Heath problems on Google or whatever. Altho they only mentioned it a fewbtimes without much info.

literally the greatest tool song ever released

>it sounds like its building up to something and just flatlines afterwards.
This. I like the drawn-out droney nature of the first half, but it doesn't go anywhere. The verse is extremely simple but it's quite good. The chorus, however, is really pretty dull and basic. The chord progression for the chorus feels like it was the first thing that came to mind and they stuck with it. Then when things finally do change up towards the end of the song I can't really say I enjoy it much. At least it DOES change towards the end though. Also, Maynard's voice sounds particularly shot/rough in that last section.

>someone at work was listening to the new song and I immediately could tell it was Tool based on the intro.
that's because it sounds exactly like the last 2 albums. they don't innovate anymore.

no one buys CDs and shit anymore. The only people who will care about Tool's physical packaging are fans.

has worked with:
Death Grips, Team Sleep, Bygones, Flössin, Goon Moon, Hella, Holy Smokes, Legs on Earth, Marie Stern, Mick Barr, Omar Rodríguez-López, Spencer Seim, Spoek Mathambo, Nick Reinhart, Wavves, Björk, Janet Weiss, Matt Cameron, Ben Weinman, The I.L.Y's, Boredoms, Nervous Cop, Crime in Choir
yeah he's a total joke.

>popular=good
epic argument

love it

>zach hill
Fast doesn't mean good

>they don't innovate anymore
based on just that one song, it seems that they're trying to emulate Lateralus
>that's because it sounds exactly like the last 2 albums
however, that's not why I deduced it was Tool, Carey has a particular style, works heavily around the toms and floor drum with the bass drum serving as a simple syncopation and maintains the same movement for almost all of the song with the exception of fills.
I can't really say it's impressive or not, but he's pretty distinctive.

You're mistaking "productive" with "popular" m8

I prefer the original Danny Carrey

youtube.com/watch?v=nGprBR4Uc88

who said anything about being popular?

The post was saying you can tell it's Zach Hill's drumming when you hear it because he has a distinct style. Not that he's "good".

Well, he's very popular as a studio drummer, that's what you implied there, I think.
A prostitute can fuck 200 men a month, that doesn't make her productive.
I'm not even defending danny, I don't think he's that great of a drummer. But neither is mr white grips, who I also like a lot

Not shitting on him, but I never realized he was on a lot of shit I didn't like.
The only stuff I like from there is Reinhart, but Tera Melos and only the Clardy stuff, Matt Cameron and Weinman, but only DEP.

Just listened to it, it was alright. The type of TOOL track I listen to a few times but am not a huge fan off. If the rest of the album is like this it'll be a 7 from me chief

It’s bad art. It looks like something out of the late 90s-00s. Reminds me of this Janet Jackson video. Fitting since the music sounds equally as dated.

Only thing i dont like are the vocals. Carey is 12/10 as per usual

Yeah but you're still going to preorder it anyway.

That the time sig he's playing in?

It’s clearly a troll track. They just put together samples from their old songs.

11/8 friend

Just like any Tool song

it's literally best vocals out of all tool songs and fuck the people who hate on this

>new album art is shit

jej same
