Fear Inoculum was released one year ago today! How has it aged for everyone in one year? I still have it comfortably at 3rd out of the 5 albums.
Depending on the day it could be my favorite Tool album. FI definitely took the longest to grow on me but I wonder if it's because I wasn't listening to Tool much leading up to the album. The album sounds the best out of all their albums and I think the song writing is tight and well done. Sad that it took them as long as it did to put it out.
After listening to it again, It is a really good album. It is a bit sad it took 12 years.
Pnuema is the best out of the bunch. It's a really good build up wise. The bass drums drive the song for me, and the Drums in general take the lead in the song, even having a drum solo with the bass as a foundation without guitar at all really.
Invincible has great Bass following the Drums, and the Vocal effects on the soft Ponce De Leon part sound cool.
I'm really enjoying the bass on this album, and the intro to Descending is awesome. I like the effect the bass, guitar and vocals give off in the "Free Fall...Infinte" section.
All these songs would be amazing live.
And those low notes in Legion Inoculant...
Those were literally my eyes in my car.
