It seems that after the deluxe packages are over, they will sell a regular version, right?

Who knows with Tool what or when they release things. Apparently Adam posted on Instagram that more artwork is coming and people are taking that as a hint about the Vinyl release.

Just got floor 9th row seats for the Raleigh show.
 I cannot wait. My body is ready.

[Lonk]

Got caught at work and couldn't get tickets for the NJ or Brooklyn show. Oh well!

[ProfessorPeart]

That was the best experience I have ever had getting tickets for something like this. I was able to get into the queue before the onsale and once in, which was like 10 minutes after onsale, I was able to hand pick my seats without issue.

Nice! Seeing Killing Joke and Tool in Chicago. I can't wait.

[goo-goo]

Got pretty good tickets for the San Antonio show. But man, 70 bucks in TM fees. Fucking outrageous.

[faizoff]

I have no idea how I got such great tickets to the DC show. 15 rows from the stage. Right in the middle. 150 + 20 for 170 total.

Did you go through Ticketmaster? Just $20 in fees?

[ProfessorPeart]

Ticketmaster hit me with about $37 total in fees for 2 tickets.

Yeah bought them through Ticketmaster. I'm surprised the fees were that low.

[ReaperKK]

Yea the queue system was awesome. I wonder how well it works preventing scalpers. Fees weren't crazy either. I also appreciate the no credit card presales. Whenever a cc presales exists I always have the cc that doesnt work for the presales:lol

[Phoenix87x]

Ok seats for $150 + $25 in fees. God damn concerts have gotten expensive 

But oh well. I really like the new album so I don't mind shelling out the dough

[MinistroRaven]

Second Denver show added: Oct. 16 at the Pepsi Center. Tickets on-sale Friday, Sept. 13 at 10 am mountain via altitudetickets.com

Well, for bands like Tool, Iron Maiden, and Metallica, concerts have gotten expensive.  For me, so far, I've gone to 17 shows, this year, and for 10 of those shows, I've paid less than $30.00 on a ticket.  Sure, some of those are seats and only three of those were GA, but I had a good view for all of those shows.

[Spiritus]

So I get to see Dream Theater in my home town! On November 11th, front row centre!!!  and then seeing Tool in Toronto the next day on the 12th        I think this is a good time to take a day or two off from work

[faizoff]

The Lost in Vegas guys did a reaction video to Pneuma and they were absolutely floored by the track. This is the one track I just cannot wait to hear live, I'm going to melt when/if they play this.

I saw the length of the video and thought I would check out just the first couple of mins but man these guys' reactions are such a joy to watch I ended up watching the whole 38 mins of it.

Pneuma might be my favorite track. That part where it drops and gets heavy 

[ReaperKK]

Pneuma might be my favorite track. That part where it drops and gets heavy 

it's my current favorite. Culling Voices is a close second.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

The album just gets better with every listen. Pneuma is just phenomenal. 

[nobloodyname]

Pneuma might be my favorite track. That part where it drops and gets heavy 

I said this elsewhere here but this album has really got to me. Absolutely didn't expect it to because, well, I'm no fan of Tool's output. But this is a very good album and Pneuma is utterly brilliant. For me, this album has ended up being so much more interesting than Distance Over Time (an album I was ready to insert in the top five of DT's output on release. It's fallen off considerably since then, alas).

The production is fabulous. Highly recommend listening on a good pair of headphones.

[Pettor]

Pneuma is fantastic! Needed a focused listen to understand it but damn, those build ups and riffs. Danny is so freaking good! The song somehow reminds me of Schism.

BTW this reaction video is fantastic. It perfectly shows those time you suddenly "get" Tool  :

[fadetoblackdude7]

After the first couple listens I said 7empest is my favorite. But now Descending is threatening to replace it. Such a great song.

[emtee]

I had zero expectations for this album. I'm a casual Tool fan and love some of their work.

I say this trying not to be over-the-top, and, also, completely free of any substance influence

If you are a person who can free your mind and, for lack of better terminology, reach a zen
state of mind--and you allow yourself to listen to this album front to back, fully immersed
in it, it's almost a spiritual experience. I'm totally blown away by how deeply impactful it is.

A musical masterwork.

Goosebumps watching that video. They're feeling it like I have been. DEEP!!

You mean the link I just posted a few posts above you  ....
In any case, I loved their reaction.

Haha damit, and that was of course even why Pneuma was discussed 

I think it sounded like they will listen through all songs on the album. Can't wait for 7empest! 😁

[MinistroRaven]

This album is fantastic man, FANTASTIC!!!

Good for Tool, now lets hope for another album

[emtee]

I wish I could buy a standard CD. At some point  I hope they
consider it.

The songs from this album are constantly running through
my head.

I was reading how Taylor Swift's fans are upset that tool took the #1 spot from her

Yeah and they think that Tool is a ‘new’ band 😂

[ReaperKK]

To be fair to them a lot of TS fans were born between 10k Days and FI

Wow, that makes me feel old now.

[faizoff]

Been listening to Fear Inoculum almost non stop so decided to give the album a break and revisited their entire discography, that was a lot of fun. I used to barely listen to Undertow since it's so different from their other albums and having listened to the band from Aenima onwards, felt nice to hear their earlier sound.

Now taking a break from Tool to listen to some A Perfect Circle and had completely forgot they released a new album last year. Man what an amazing album that is as well.
