From the official Tool Band website:

NEWS YOU’VE BEEN PATIENTLY WAITING FOR:
TOOL’S “FEAR INOCULUM” ARRIVES AUG. 30 VIA RCA RECORDS

Here’s part of the press release in case you missed it on the Times Square Digital Billboard, sky-writing and inflatable blimp advertising over most major cities, smoke signals from the College of Cardinals in Rome, select augmented reality glasses, spirit boards and cryptically encoded in agriglyphs scattered over the beautiful English countryside:

“Continuing their affinity for pushing the boundaries of physical packaging, the GRAMMY Award® winning outfit has created a deluxe, limited-edition CD version of Fear Inoculum. The collectible offering, which was conceived by and directed by Adam Jones, features a 4” HD rechargeable screen with exclusive video footage, charging cable, 2 watt speaker, a 36-page booklet and a digital download card. Pre-orders for both the special package and digital downloads are available NOW. The 85-minute collection was produced by TOOL, with Joe Barresi engineering and mixing the release. Barresi also worked with the band on 10,000 Days.” (NOTE: Even Buddhist monks wearing YOLO tee shirts know that!)

    Amazon link seems to only be the regular CD, not the deluxe edition, but happy to be wrong and it's really that price. In any case, I've pre-ordered it and will cancel if it turns out to just be the regular CD :)

    • abc on 08/08/2019 - 10:27

      You mean you will need to return it? How do we know this is a listing the deluxe edition? There is no mention of it at all.

      • aeon on 08/08/2019 - 10:28
        +1

        It seems as though there hasn't been a regular CD announced yet (or if there is even going to be one), and the "editorial review" section of the Amazon link has the details of the deluxe edition (but that could also be a mistake entry). As for returning it - hopefully all will be clearer before it actually gets released at the end of the month.

      • ONEMariachi on 08/08/2019 - 11:48

        I can't imagine it would be $55 and be a normal cd.

    • Murpha on 08/08/2019 - 10:39
      +3

      I thought this too, but some independent stores have the limited edition for ~$45 USD as well (original pre-order price on Amazon last night).

      Another example

    • [Deactivated] on 08/08/2019 - 13:04

      Description actually describes the deluxe edition.

    • watts on 08/08/2019 - 13:28
      +3

      Yeah it looks that way, but I'm going to rely on:
      - the description in the Amazon page editorial review,
      - the fact I've seen no mention anywhere of a regular CD,
      - TOOL website (which describes only the deluxe) links directly through to this same amazon page.

      I bloody hope its the deluxe because I'm ordering an extra 3 copies for mates to reduce the shipping cost.

    I saw both Rammstein and Tool at the Big Day Out, which Tool headlined.

    Poor Tool, having to follow a Rammstein show. Let's just say there was heaps more room down the front during the 'headliners' set :D

    • summit on 08/08/2019 - 11:03
      +5

      Yes I remember, I went to both Sydney festivals that year. I love Tool, but they did themselves no favours by opening with Third Eye, which is almost 14 minutes long. People got bored and left. No band would want to come on after Rammstein though, no one has a better live show in my opinion.

    • Moventura on 08/08/2019 - 11:17
      +2

      Don't know why the downvotes for you guys. I noticed the same. People were leaving in droves. Following Tool, plus them playing at the same time as Grinderman.

      I was very happy with Tools set as it was very Lateralus heavy, but I was able to find a nice place in the grass to sit down with not many people around me, even though I was in the same place squashed against others during Rammstein.

      When Tool played after Muse a few years earlier, that was a perfect band for them to follow.

      • krushgroove on 08/08/2019 - 11:49
        +1

        I wasn't a Tool fan and was quite happy to hang around and see what they were all about, but yeah 15 minutes into the set and people were wandering away, and my mates and I were on such a high from the Rammstein set we just wanted to talk about it and take pictures of ourselves with Till's 'white stuff' all over us so we left as well.

        All good. I know TOOL purists will defend them regardless. I'm a fan of their old stuff but for the first listen of the new stuff I'm not impressed. More TOOL is only awesome, if its great.

        • boredofficeworker on 08/08/2019 - 11:51
          +5

          And there then there will be those like yourself that reminisce about the "old content" insisting that the "new stuff" is bad. This is very definitively tool. Passing judgment on something new after less than a few hours of release in relation to something which has been etched into your memory, likely carrying a fair amount of sentimentality and nostalgia is a little bias. I'm not saying you're wrong or right at this point, I'm personally just happy to have a new Tool track to sink into. Give it time I'll have an opinion of my own, but right now I'm just happy it's here.

        • cannedhams on 10/08/2019 - 18:09

          I thought 10 000 days was the best thing they've ever made. Rosetta Stoned probably in my top 10 songs of all time.

    • Cave Fire on 08/08/2019 - 17:30

    New song is rubbish. Listened to it once on the way to work and to me, it sounds like a mash up DJ got hold of all the off cuts of previous albums and mashed them together, thrown in with some Maynard hymn gibberish.

    Eulogy, Disposition, Reflection, Lateralus - i hear crap versions of these songs.

    • Nereosis on 08/08/2019 - 15:40

      Kinda sounds like several, or all, members of the band got together and made some music similar to stuff they made before.

      maybe check out some different music.
