Tool Fear Inoculum impressions

I'm on my 5th listen and i sill really like it.  I love the guitar tones throughout the record.  The bass tone and delay about 1:15 in on Pneuma is wonderful and classic tool in my book.  All the percussion and vocals sound great to me as well.  Not a fan of chocolate chip trip or mockingbeat.  As far as compression goes, it doesn't bother me on this record unless i'm thinking about it.  Other modern metal albums are way worse (e.g. the last two unlistenable baroness albums).  Great thread and fun reading every ones opinion.  Anyone going to see the tour?

+1 Pneuma... excellent.
I just read that Bob Ludwig mastered FI. 

Today was my third listen and I have to say I truly like it a lot. Listening to it on my main system today with the wife out for a few hours was truly amazing. It really does need to be played a little louder than you normally would to hear and feel some of the details, but what a reward when you do.

I listened today with the 300wpc Mac amp and it really sang through the GE Triton Refs. The entire room was pressurized yet the meters on the amp were only averaging between 30 and 40 watts. It was so clear and right sounding. Thank you for the kind words.

My buddy just picked up two copies (LP's) at Walmart of all places. 
Great album! 

The affordable lp may never happen :(
its supposed to be a box set of one side records :(
