    I thought about that but I think it's the sound that hasn't changed rather than the songwriting. Same four guys, same Silverburst guitars, same D Minor based stuff, same effects on Justin's Wal bass. I can definitely hear other Tool songs in it, namely Reflection, 10KD, Eulogy, Pushit and Invincible. Just seems a different approach to exploring those soundscapes. Maynard singing clean is a sign of his age- reckon he'd have chucked in a scream near the end had he been younger. Only qualm I have is that Adam's solo I don't think is necessary, but maybe that was a calculated substitute for Maynard going apeshit. I hear a lot of similar complaints about Alice In Chains, Foos and others (AC/DC the main one for obvious reasons haha) but I do hear an evolution in all those bands), and it feels awesome to hear new soundscapes with a sonic foundation you absolutely love and haven't heard from in 13 years.

    Why is the album being taken off websites?
    Amazon has. JB Hi Fi has.

    Sold out, I imagine? It said it was a limited edition.

    Everybody ready for a 20 minute epic on this album? Sounds like the most interesting track to me. Semi spoilers in the below article that describe the songs. Don't read if you want to know nothing.

    It's a hopeless situation...

    I'm really starting to get back into Tool, which is something I did not expect. And I was listening to APC the last few days as well. Bought Eat The Elephant, and that music also surprised me.

    APC is my jam, but this "Fear Inoculum" has got me rehooked. Didn't realize how much I missed Tool.

    Anyone saying "it's my jam" is out of touch...  But I'm glad you miss tool.

    Eat the Elephant is an excellent album. Only listened to the new song once. Waiting to see how it goes with the new album. 
    Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.

    Interesting thread over on the steve hoffman forums about the Hi-Res 24bit/96khz files. Apparently, the Tool catalog has been remastered. I agree with the consensus over there: Undertow and Lateralus sound a lot better than the old CDs.

    I'm listening to a Tool album a week until release. As in, all week.  Aenima last week. Lateralus this week. Probably get 10,000 Days over with next week, then finish off with Undertow.  And then, it's release day!
