I am sure the info is right in front of me but can someone explain if it is worth it to do the Tool Army for the presale? 

How much is it these days? 
I’ve been a member for approximately 10 years, and with the exception of VIP packages and some exclusive merch, it offers little else for benefits. 

I think this is the first time since I’ve been a member that they’ve offered non-vip presale tickets.

I've been in TA since they started it and honestly can't remember. Non-festival shows around me have been so infrequent and presales even more so. I fully expect their website to seize and die on Wednesday.

$50. I thought in the past they did VIP for like $500 or something like that. 

I just did not want to spend the money and they have like 200 presale seats for each venue and thousands trying for it.

Hi there! Is anybody in the know of a vinyl version of Fear Inoculum? Thanks for an answer and greetings Frank

A guy from reddit said that a retailer from his local store told him, seriously and confident, that will be in November.

None knows but...

I need to look more into this. So its on their website? I do so more digging when I get home Monday from vacation.

The website’s a shit show, and I too expect it to crash. If you want a cool beanie and the chance, I say go for it. If you’re not going for VIP,  I personally wouldn’t drop the $50. (They did suggest a very limited # of presale tickets, so my hopes aren’t high there, but what do I know?)

Tool’s website yesterday said there would be a vinyl release at some point, details will follow. I beleive it’s in the big announcement about the album release and tour dates.

This is a sonic experience in full 24-bit quality on good headphones. Wow. 

Agreed. This is the way to listen to the album. The drumming really shines in Hi-Res audio. I don't know why they bothered with the archaic CD format. If you're going to put out more than 80 minutes of music, it should be done digitally.

Are you hearing any clipping/distortion in the 24bit version?

Not at all.

10am local time in their webstore is all it says. So who knows.

Wait for my cousin to get me some good headphones..i'll take it to the island and listen to with some great white wine..

My first two listens were through a pair of noise cancelling Beats. 

It was beautiful.

FI has sold out of several Boston area Newbury Comics, and those stores told me they got way more copies than they would for a normal release.

Sure. We´ll see then.

Is there going to be a regular cd released? If so when?  Just had the special edition for 69.00 CDN today

just a casual fan ha ha ha

Looks like they are doing delayed delivery for the tour tickets, but that's it.  Really wish they would get more strict against scalping.  Still don't see any prices, but I'm guessing about $150 all-in.

Mike D88

I really, really gotta give it to the mastering on this album.

Cd costs 104 Euros on local store!!
Don't think I'll get it..

CROJAM95

Got mine in the mail today

pretty cool, not sure how many times I’d watch the video screen again but kudos to them for keeping art & packaging alive

lyric book art very nice

Yikes! That's crazy money!

 I haven't been able to find one even remotely local to me. Called or stopped by just about every record store and book store in three counties between yesterday and today. None to be found. The Guitar Center here ordered some but their employees bought all of them. 

My "pre-order" from Barnes and Noble should be here Tuesday. No big deal though. I've already waited 13 years, what difference does a few more days make?

Any word on VIP packages?
