I just want a simple, standard gram (because its wasteful and serves no additional purpose), cleanly and carefully pressed black vinyl, impeccably mastered (as close to AAA as possible), normal weight basic gatefold, quality printed jacket 2xLP of everything. No Pic disc. No incorporated television. No lenticular cover (though I would forgive it if they worked it into an Aenima reissue). No wifi router. No nothing crazy. Just solid, true to format vinyl pressing that excels at reproducing the stereo master as beautifully as possible when the fuckin' needle touches down and drags through the basic ass grooves of the godforsaken LP. Can I get an Amen or just a plain old delivery on this?

I need my stupid shit, silly shit.

Dear Tommy? oh. nevermind. - me every time this thread is bumped for the past 3 years.

I’d expect this behavior in a Brand New thread. Or even that Vaporwave one. But never figured it’d come to pass in a TOOL thread. What the fuck?!?!

Yo. @JFC1549 just left me negative feedback for literal no reason. I have never sold to this individual. Can I get @jhuludin here to address this? Fuck this guy. Dont know shit about him.

BMW profile pic, famous NJ tag line, spends time in TOOL, KoRn, Slipknot, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden , et al threads. You're not sending redeeming vibes dude. I feel like I can picture you. He does have a cool story. It's more than anyone else has thus far.

I see what you did there.

In other news, who wants to bet they make us wait until 7 PM?

"Daddy, what was the wait between Tool records like?" "Not bad, but the thread on VC was locked the day of pre-orders after 13 years, so that kind of sucked."

Satan has spoken stfu guy

I heard this in a Trump voice. Not a fan of you.

I’ll derail it a little more. You’re lame. I definitely feel like I can picture you. Smell too. It’s not a good smell. Anyways one minute to go that’s pre cool

It's a split https://fatwreck.com/blogs/news/tbr-human-robots-news-story Hello all! When Teenage Bottlerocket was at the Blasting Room working on “Stay Rad,” my son Milo came to the studio and recorded two songs with his band Human Robots. It wasn’t hard getting his band together, because Milo plays all the instruments and sings on the two songs he wrote. I guess it’s a one-man band (yes, he has no friends). His songs turned out great, and we somehow convinced Fat Wreck Chords to release a split 7” featuring the TBR songs “Olivia Goes to Bolivia” and “Everything To Me,” as well as the Human Robots songs “Step On Em All” and “I Want to Hang Out With You.” Chris Shary did the artwork, and it all turned out great. This is the best split since Taco Bell teamed up with KFC! I love sharing this rock n roll life with my son, Milo. Look out world; Human Robots are stoked to shred and ready to party!

Watch your mouth.

I want the new tool album to mine cryptocurrency for me.

A-fuckin'-men!

Yeah I do. We only have Staples around here.

Go to Office Depot. Then go to the record store and buy normal as fuck yet high quality Tool vinyl. Don't you wish you could?

You are right, I'm just eager to know. I also know I'm not drinking tonight. I don't want to wake up tomorrow with one of everything.

While we wait for any and all preorder links, read this. Pretty amusing and I can relate to the uncertainty that is new TOOL music and album. https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/music/amp28610128/tool-band-new-album-fear-inoculum-should-never-be-released/

For sure. Someone pointed out that you can “fold” the logo in half to create a syringe, and that’s cool or whatever... but at what cost? I stand pretty firmly by my Geocities / Angelfire comparison from the other day. Part of me hopes there’ll be a chintzy visitor counter on the pre-order page or at least a guestbook we can all sign after we place an order.

Saw this elsewhere...gave me a chuckle

Thank you!!!

I have read that there are supposed to be restocks on the 8th

Shadd up!! Stalk me much? What are u 16?

Fear Inoculum single stream tomorrow morning https://www.radio.com/music/rock/world-premiere-tool-return-with-fear-inoculum

Gazer rocks. Just got my LPs in. Very happy about my purchase. Hey, thanks!

Great album. Just emailed them. Hopefully this gets done as that indie exclusive is very difficult to find at retail.

Lol don't be an idiot. You have to watch your vinyl spin through a 4" display while listening to the output processed through an iphone mic fed into a 2 watt speaker.

I could go for a new one.

I'll try to remember and shoot you a PM once I get home from work.

That's how I understood it. Like they give us a day to see all our options and deliberate about the atrociously priced deluxe shit and then we get to make our decision on what combination of shit we're going to buy when the items are purchasable.

You fucking said it. I'm F5ing all morning on like 17 different places.

Sorry to let you down! I do have many others that are probably up your alley! staying in the same area. Just found a place with a bit more room. Who knew infants take up so much room for being so small... also thanks for the offers and messages thus far. Keep em coming!

Agreed on all fronts. I don’t own anything like that - holographic, LED-display, or otherwise - but I’m not a big enough Tool fan to drop $500 on wax for them.

MY WALLET IS READY

gimme that screen thing LP size I’ll pay whatever

Pre-order on a website actually did go up early today. It's sold out, but at least you can see what you get in the bundle https://portofsoundrecords.com/products/fear-inoculum-cd-bundle

Yooooo wtf

This is their masterpiece

DO YOU BLEED JUST TO KNOW YOU'RE ALIIIIVVVEEEEE?!?

I'm not gonna be happy until I can hang this in a record frame like the art it is.

Don't let @satan know

The judges would have accepted “nookie” here.

Friday, August 9 - preorders will go live for the limited vinyl, as well as other ephemera. A few people have asked me about other plans and yes, there is another album that is almost fully written that will be recorded soon. Additionally - West Coast tour dates 2019 are forthcoming shortly as well. Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday.

I can't tell if anyone in this thread is being sarcastic , just has atrocious taste in music or a little of both .

These threads hurt my brain. I'm foolishly still following on page 7 waiting for a semi rare-ish variant to pop up. This happens every time. I guess the jokes on me for coming back.

no
