1. Fear Inoculum: 7/10 Good, nothing special
2. Pneuma: 7.5/10 Riff is cool, repetitive though.
3. Invincible: 8/10 Like the vocals, good overall, middle drags though.
4. Descending: 9/10 Best guitar work on the album, ends masterfully.
5.Culling Voices: 7.5/10 Pretty vocals and guitar work, could be shorter without missing much.
6. Chocolate Chip Trip: ?/10 Lol.
7. 7empest: 8.5/10 Hardest song on the album, great end to the album.
Alright fags, lets hear it.
i have not listened to it yet sorry
0/10 tool is trash
Chocolate Chip Trip is the ultimate pleb filter.
You are trash.
choco trip is unironically the best track on the album
Maynard ruined half the tracks and the guitar parts where uninspired garbage
bass and drums killer as always, but they sound like a tool cover band at times
>last track is le best and sooo deep user
where were you when you found out tool was pozzed?
2/10 garbage
Am I the only thinking that the album's mix is fucked up or weird? I listened through headphones yesterday and most of the songs sounds odd.
First of all, 7empest sounds like nothing like the other songs. Totally feels like a whole different mix by different persons. The guitars feels more live than the dry-sounding studio-style guitars on Fear Inoculum, Invincible and Descending. Why?
There's some weird mixing also in Fear Inoculum.
The guitar's recording are all ove the place: Extremely dry and stereo panned, to weird Mono solos in the middle with added patterns on the right.
Apart from that, the album is still pretty much interesting. Descending has finally put Adam Jones out of his comfort zone. Pneuma is really interesting and the band just works together seamlessly.
Chocolate Chip Trip is amazing, but they should have made a real song out of it. The intro of the track is amazing, the way Danny appears and just bursts out some insane solos is powerful, but it should've had went into a fully-fledged song with the whole band.
7empest is a really great song, but it feels totally like another song from another album.
Don't know what to say. It's good, but the mixing is kinda odd in a lot of places.
This album is fucking boring lol. You can tell maynard is getting old.
i knew his parts were going to be shit when he started with the orange-man-bad stuff
didn't think the guitar parts would also be soo fucking pozzed and uninspired
they should have just released a drum and bass instrumental album, would have been better than this 13 year old abortion
The only problem I have with this album is Maynard sounds weird as fuck.
Like he sounds way to polished and dare i say auto-tuned. The band still kicks ass tho.
