Fear Inoculum

Product Information

Sounds equal to or at least as good as the CD box set, which my 11-year-old son has, also an excellent product. Tool has won three Grammy Awards, performed worldwide tours, and produced albums topping the charts in several countries. In the edit page, go to the 'Metadata' tab and add your Juno artist, label or release page for listeners to purchase your release / releases. I know Tool and I know how much effort goes into their music so I figured at the very least this was also going to sound great.

Tool is a very visually driven band and I expected something a little more visually interesting to look at than what they chose for the album cover. Opiate ² is a special limited-edition package, that includes a reimagined and extended version of the TOOL classic track. Reading these comments, I realize now that being late to the party turned out to be a blessing in disguise.Records housed inside a full-colour, mirror-board printed, hardcover book featuring alternate front cover artwork, extra artwork, lyrics and credits all within a full-colour, mirror-board printed hardcover slide-out box, although not advertised as a box-set. The most intense songs on the album are Pneuma and 7empest and they're half the intensity of anything else they've recorded previously. 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. But even still, after thirteen years of waiting for new material, Tool fans deserved a better thought out album.

I just want to play the record and having to open the big heavy book and take a new disc out after every side feels like more effort than it’s worth. What prompted me to do so: just listened to disc two and felt the need to concur-mastering and pressing are awe inspiring. There is an EU release that credits Sony Music as a label and other differences of distribution listed on the small print of the sticker. The discs are packaged in a hard shell box with new album art, and a bound casebook holding the vinyl along with new imagery not previously seen.

It might have to do with the fact that the lacquers are cut by Bernie Grundman and that someone IRL oversaw the plating and pressing procedure. From the avant-garde percussion and awkward synths of 'Chocolate Chip Trip', to the almost-ethereal ambience of 'Legion Inoculant' and the riff and crescendo heavy 'Pneuma', it's a wild thing of beauty. Full glossy cover with 7-sided geometric pattern on back, points of pattern ends in 14 solid circles. The world I am coming from - being super analytic and especially suspicious of Czech GZ pressings - was surprisingly impressed with the sound stage and pressing quality. Confused because I’d heard absolutely nothing about it and shocked that it was at such a steep discount.All image and audio content is used by permission of the copyright holders or their agents, and/or according to fair dealing as per the UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. 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). This package features five 180 Gram BLACK vinyl discs, with album tracks featured on Side A, and unique etchings featured on Side B. The sound is so unbelievably rich and being a huge fan of Danny Carey, there are sounds from him I can hear on vinyl i could never hear on mp3 or cd.
