Going to see them Friday night at the legendary Hampton Coliseum (aka the "Mothership"). I'm probably too old for this but looking forward to it anyway.


Did you survive old timer? If so let's hear about the show!


It was quite an impressive show - incredible musicianship on display. Maynard never has a spotlight on him which was interesting. I guess this is his thing. Hard to even make him out for much of the show. I thought his mic was turned down too low - couldn’t clearly hear his singing all the time. My only complaint.

They played the same set list they have the whole tour - full of fan favorites - aenima, Jambi, schism, the pot, vicarious, stinkfist. Also played 2 new songs, one of which (invincible) was really good.

Strictly no cell phone event as well, until the last song when the band told security to stand down. Nice to watch a show without half the crowd staring at it through their phone.

Professional masters of the two new songs played live.

Much better than the videos in circulation, thanks!.

Invincible is playing on a loop in the sphere compound.

Awesome. He also has the same cell phone policy at APC and Puscifer shows. Managed to see all three bands live iver the course if 1.5 years and have watched numerous folks get tossed (90% of which were the dumb asses with the flash on).

Agreed on Invincible. Traveling today but am looking forward to hearing the mastered version of this song that was posted on this thread when I get to the hotel tonight.

Sounds like it was a great show.

Album title, "Fear Inoculum" announced by MJK on Joe Rogan's show today.

And they're finally releasing their music on streaming services on 8/2. Pretty incredible that they've released approximately 6.5 hours of music in 28 years.

Surprising because I didn't think any of their previous albums were released that way. I assumed it was because of the effort put into the album covers.

They weren't- that's what is being released on 8/2.

New album comes out 8/30.

My reading comprehension is off. I thought you meant their new album was being released 8/2, not their catalog.

That was my bad - I should have specified "back catalog" vs just "music".

Yeah. Sorry as I'm just now seeing this.

I'm excited to see that the rumors of all the songs being north of 10 appear to be true. Once the pre orders open up I'll be scheduling a day off for the albums estimated delivery date.

Their track record of quality vinyl releases is semi-poor at best. Really hoping they get this new material on wax in a thoughtful way..if not..well at least I'll be able to stream it I suppose.

Looks like they are also teeing up a fall US tour. I won't be missing that one as I'm fairly certain this is it for Tool.

So I had a 1.5 hour round trip drive this morning...listened to Tool the entire time bouncing around albums. I'm enjoying having it streaming much more than I thought I would.

Looking forward to pushing it through my home sound system later today. Specifically Lateralus because, while the vinyl pressing is covered with Alex Gray artwork, the listening experience of those pressings are absolutely horrible. The one/two punch of Parabol and Parabola is what I'm really looking forward to.

Happy Tool Friday 8/2 LR!

A friend bought an Alex Grey-signed copy of that Lateralus picture disc (Grey still sells them on the CoSM store, although they seem to go up in price each time he puts another batch up for sale) and doesn't even have a record player. I've been tempted to buy one just for the "collectibility" of it, even though I too have no way to play it. I'd read that the sound quality on them is even worse than the typical picture disc.

The songs Opiate and Right in Two are so spot on for today's sociopolitical morass.

I might jump on that..had no idea he was putting signed copies up.

You've heard correctly about the playability of those Lateralus picture disks though I have friends who swear by the quality of other artists picture disks. In the vinyl/tool world the general consensus seems to be that Tool gives no f's about the quality of their vinyl pressings. I have decent Opiate and Undertow pressings but outside of that the other albums are certainly lacking (though there is a Enemia pressing out there that fetches close to 1k on discogs if you're up for it).

On the Alex Grey note I have a book recommendation you might like - "The Mission of Art" by Alex Grey.

Yeah I'm going to do the pre-order (as long as it's not all ridiculously-priced special editions). Been a long time since I bought a physical album but I'm pretty sure I'm going that route.

Pre-order opens 05:01 PDT tomorrow (Wednesday)

"Limited Edition Tri-fold Soft Pack Video Brochure featuring:

  • Compact disc (79 MINUTES OF MUSIC)

  • 4” HD rechargeable screen with exclusive video footage

  • charging cable

  • 2 watt speaker

  • 30+ page book

  • MP3 download card (89 MINUTES OF MUSIC)"



Guessing the 10 extra minutes of music on the MP3 download is the new version of Opiate.

Good catch. I somehow missed this but did see someone on the Steve Hoffman forum somehow had these specifics earlier..no idea of the source.

No mention of the vinyl I imagine..I think the move is usually that comes a little bit after the initial release (honestly this is the first new music release I've kept this close of an eye on in years but I hear that is a normal cadence)?

Curious to see if there will be an option for a FLAC download vs MP3.

Guessing no price listed (I'll probably be ordering this at 5:01am tomorrow regardless)?

$45, forgot to mention that part.

That info came from a post on the Toolband subreddit, apparently a record store jumped the gun on the pre-order and had it up today before pulling the page down.

No mention of vinyl (yet) but DC did mention some months back that they had plans for vinyl remasters/reissues at some point. They have to have a huge archive of live recordings built up too from over the years (audio and video..)

Thanks. $45 is honestly about 2/3rds of what I thought they might go for here. We'll see how long their website can survive tomorrow morning.

I was semi concerned that they might make it some sort of "Tool Army" special package. Glad to see that does not appear to be the case (cool with dropping $45 on this but not an additional $50 for the right to order, a tshirt, and a few stickers).

Amazon had the pre-order up when I got up around 5 so I ordered it there.

Also, streaming title track:
