Tool Fear Inoculum impressions

Thank you for the post!

Been curious to listen to this. More so now, and will have to be added to my "list"...

While not a huge fan, I did listen to Aenima and Undertow quite a bit.

My CD's have been in storage for years, and I recently ripped everything so I could put it all on my DAP. And, as a result was listening to Tool again.

There is something interesting that happens when a band "grows up". If they are close in age to the listener, the hope is if the listener "grows up" maintaining a certain synergy with the band, they will stay relevant.

There was another performer whom I was a huge fan of and have seen live many many times - more so than any other by a long shot. With every new release I felt as though they continued to make sense as I was dealing with new stages in my life. And, with every new release, there was a concerted effort to "give it a chance". This as the releases were evolving, as was the performer. The investment to work through the changes was always worth the effort.

Here's an interesting video. I love listening to "British" people speaking "properly" about things that could be perceived by some as being on the fringe...

Thanks again,

PS - This is how threads on Agon should be discussed...

Streamed it from Tidal last night. I like it very much and the recording quality is excellent.

If it is true they release a set of one sided albums at least those who buy will now have their very own anti skating test records as well!

I think I am on my sixth listen as I played it on the big system late this morning.  It is definitely a keeper, and I find it to be recorded quitter well.  I have the 24/96 digital version from HD Tracks.  It doesn't seem  compressed to me.  Even my wife said today how good it sounds.  Maybe I got lucky with the download, I dunno?

An endorsement from the wife regarding better sound quality?
Lucky guy.
