I was just thinking how funny this album would sound if all the muscular drums were replaced with rinky-dink '80s electric drums.

quick chime in that years back during a Lateralus-era tour Mesuggah opened for them and during the Tool set they brought out their drummer to jam during "Triad" and it fucking killed.
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Friday, 6 September 2019 04:59 (four years ago) link
I also saw that tour and enjoyed Meshuggah far more than Tool, even though I hadn't heard any Meshuggah. Maynard sang at the rear of the stage with his back to the audience the whole show, and during a break they played a ten minute noise loop. I think I'd dig that kind of weirdness more now but at age 21 I felt completely ripped off
― Vinnie, Friday, 6 September 2019 10:06 (four years ago) link
Isis opened for Tool on one tour too, iirc.
I've seen the band a few times but don't remember much about any of the shows. I saw them on Ozzfest once or twice, in a smaller theatre once, in a bigger theatre once (I brought my dad, who was amused).
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 6 September 2019 13:27 (four years ago) link
I caught the Meshuggah/Tool show in Toledo, Ohio.It might have been the only time I ever went to Toledo, Ohio.
Anyway, I like the new record a lot and i feel that "7empest" might be the quintessential Tool track.

Someone on Reddit said they get a different playing order when using Android Auto or Apple Carplay - don't know if it works, am going to try:
Numerical UFO (just in case the album title is an anagram too) ("Rueful Monica" is another one)
1: 7empest 2: Chocolate Chip Trip 3: Culling Voices 4: Legion Inoculant 5: Litanie contre la Peur 6: Invincible 7: Mocking Beat 8: Fear Inoculum 9: Descending10: Pneuma

Is there any way to buy this album in a standard affordable format? I've only seen the CD box version for €85
― Duke, Monday, 16 September 2019 20:02 (four years ago) link
Nope. So far that's the only available physical release. Rumored that a vinyl release and standard CD version is coming, but nothing concrete just yet.

Wonder if they'll play "Part of Me" throughout this tour. Would love to see 'em do "Jerk-Off" too.

That Dio was a bit of a chancer at times, but I'm assuming you meant "cancer" charity.

Tool is of course pretty awesome. I think we can all agree the best part of Tool is Danny; I could listen to an entire album that's just Danny. At least by default, I think we can also all agree that the worst part of Tool is Maynard; I could listen to a Tool album with no vocals at all. That said, a Tool album without Danny would I think be noticeably worse. But would a Tool album with someone other than Maynard be better?
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 10 November 2021 19:51 (two years ago) link
The last album barely has any Maynard on it

True. I think they got impatient? Ironically, the one track that sounds like it's mostly Danny kind of sucks.
