    obviously yall havent seen what comes with the cd,
    "Fear Inoculum is the long awaited new album from TOOL, and the band's first new album in 13 years. The album will be available digitally, and in a special Limited Edition physical package that includes a CD in a tri-fold Soft Pack Video Brochure featuring a 4" HD rechargeable screen with exclusive video footage, a USB charging cable, a 2 watt speaker and a 36 page insert book and MP3 download card."

    totally worth it
    Well aware of what it comes with. That's why I asked if there was one without all the bullshit.  Something I'm going to look at once and put away on the shelf forever.  Completely unnecessary and honestly kinda fucking arrogant to expect fans to fork over $45 for a CD with no cheaper alternative.  But it's Maynard, arrogance is his forte.

    album packaging has always been Adam Jones' baby. providing some sort of video to the fans when tool rarely provides anything video-wise seems like a win for the fans, not an act of being arrogant from the band

    I'm all in on the 36 page booklet, but I couldn't care less about the rest, TBH. I loved the album artwork up until 10K days, those goggles were a bit much.

    Aenima with the lenticular (?) cover with interchangeable images as well as Lateralus with the layers of the body removing with each page turned were fantastic.

    Those goggles jumped the shark though.

    Now an album with a screen and a rechargeable cord feels gimmicky AF. I'll probably buy it, I love supporting their art, especially since no one makes music like they do, but come on... I'll look at that CD once or twice and then put it in the attic with the rest of my CD collection.


    Side Note: I love how Maynard is always the one blamed for the arrogant bullshit. Isn't Adam Jones more involved in the packaging / artwork / art direction for the band? Why doesn't he catch any shit for it?

    I don't deny that Maynard comes off as arrogant AF, but I'm pretty sure the whole band is in on this shit, it isn't just one guy making these decisions.

    Whatever.... white knight rant over.

    I have no problem with the price. If I did I just wouldn't buy it. I spent more than that on bootleg cds back in the day. 

    I wonder how many complaining about the price spend hundreds on postere and "original pressing" vinyl.

    I love to see people here complain about the cd version like your being forced to buy it. If you want it, great. If you don’t, great. It’s not like the cd version is the only way to hear the album. At least they put effort into their releases instead of the normal. But then some would bitch that they just put out a normal cd. Enjoy the music. Use your dollar the way you want. 

    That being said. Who buys cds anymore. I want the vinyl please. Already have it pre downloaded on my Apple Music. Can’t wait. 
    Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.

    How is saying "bullshit" in that context attitude?  And those comments weren't directed at you, but when you say "not that hard to comprehend" that is directed at me. So yes, attitude.  And by the way, speaking of not hard to comprehend, if you read my posts, you'd see I already said I was going to buy digital because this is too much for a CD.  You also took time to describe what came with it even though I already asked if there was a CD without all the bullshit (sorry) extra fluff.
    Christ you cant even ask a fucking simple question around here anymore.

    I'm not so much upset with the price as I am with the gimmicky bs.


    Edit: & upset isn't even the word for it, 'over it' would be more appropriate.

    It's their art and I appreciate the detail and quality they put in to their releases. It's clear they feel listening to their music should be an experience, both visual and auditory.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    I have listened once and I am not in the best scenario for it, the desk of my office, so I will need to digest this further at home.
