Fear

Product Information

It doesn't sound like the band challenged themselves or grew in any meaningful way over the last thirteen years. Reading these comments, I realize now that being late to the party turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

Fear Inoculum scored well with critics with the exception of Pitchfork, which usually I take with a grain of salt because they are often critical of just about any album they review.

On the downside while comparing editions, the new book release has only 7 tracks as opposed to 10 on the deluxe original, which admittedly are only short interludes but to me complete the record as a listening experience. I didn’t look closely at the first couple, but the poorly pressed one I still have actually has a different runout than what’s listed here (19439-86879-1-SIDE G). My previoulsy purchased copies of Undertow and Opiate were underwhelming, particularly given that I generally have appreciated early punk rock tool more than later prog rock Tool. What prompted me to do so: just listened to disc two and felt the need to concur-mastering and pressing are awe inspiring. Glossy cover with dark elements in matte and 6-sided fractal star on back, eyes centered in star points, silver on black geometric repeating pattern on sides.The gatefold have a lot of nice images but what takes the whole down a bit is the insert, one side is a very nice artwork, the other is a sloppily produced information and lyrics sheet where the 7empest is both misspelled (Tempest) and lyrics omitted, the only reason seems lack of space . Also along with the download of the video, to help make up for a lack of HD screen, included a a small collection of 3D style lenticular cards featuring images from the video.

Matte finish with 9-sided geometric pattern on back, no solid circles at points, sides have a gloss geometric repeating pattern. This album will surpass the test of time as one of the all time greats which in an age of superficiality is an absolute breath of fresh air and very exciting, not to mention rare.

With the effort that the band puts into creating a soundscape, it's refreshing to see such responsibility taken for the follow-through.

On headphones especially, it’s not too bassy and mids stand out, which is important to me because I listen to music pretty often on my headphones.
