Looks like you're right. I thought they would have some, but I guess not. I'm still hoping my independent record store up in Louisville will still have one for me to buy tomorrow night. Who knows.

I got the download from Qobuz. They have unlimited download for anything you buy, and they have various quality downloads. I go for FLAC most all the time. Here's the link.

Good luck to everyone trying to get tix tomorrow...I think it's gonna be a mess.

Also, if you are looking for a physical copy of the CD the official store has it available (tonight only).

I almost got the Deluxe Edition from their store last night after reading your post, but I decided not to after seeing how shipping would increase the price to just over $55. (I already got the FLAC Download and spent $18.54, and my brother got the Deluxe CD. If it pops up at a store for lower, I'll get it.)

Also, I SCORED 3 TICKETS FOR THE INDIANAPOLIS SHOW ON 11/2/2019!!!

Right on! I got three for DC. I was shocked to get thru and get good seats. Usually for Tool my luck is awful.

ChiefOKONO · Sep 06, 2019, 04:08 PM

Tickets were tough to get and the scalpers didn't help!!! The site kept crashing and I think my order went though even though there was no confirmation page and it said there was an error processing order. They need to really increase capacity or something!!!

I tried to get the physical version last night but it was already sold out again by the time I tried.

I might have an extra if you're interested...it'd be a little pricier than retails ($67 shipped = what I paid). Let me know if you're interested.

Great! I sent you a PM on here.

Fear Inoculum sounds good but it's not worth the 13 years of waiting.

what is worth waiting 13 yrs for? I can't think of anything beside fine wine and Pappy Van Winkle

I like the new album a lot. Pneuma is incredible and on repeated listens keeps blowing my mind.

ChiefOKONO · Sep 16, 2019, 05:47 PM

After listening to it a bunch of times on good headphones, I think it's a pretty amazing album and I love it. There is so much to process here and I am glad I got the FLAC Hi-Res version because it sounds even better!!

The songs are so long it's like a symphony with different movements. My favorites are Pneuma, Descending, Invincible, Chocolate Chip Trip, and 7empest.

APR · Sep 17, 2019, 09:31 AM

I totally agree Mr. White..... the album is great but just needs a little more Maynard loud/heartfelt/screaming vocals. I have been thinking the same thing during a few songs.

Good post chiefO..... I like that your favorites are practically every song on the album.

ChiefOKONO · Sep 17, 2019, 01:42 PM

I have to say, I agree with you guys as well... some more louder vocals/screaming would have been pretty awesome but maybe he wasn't feeling that...or maybe Maynard felt that the lyrics and themes didn't lend themselves to more loudness. I read a couple of articles on the new album but I think they like the listener figure it out for themselves rather than explain the songs, which is a good thing IMO.

I guess we'll have to go see them live for the screaming vocals. Their show is one of the biggest light and visual spectacles I've ever seen! I'll never forget the last show I saw a few years ago when they opened with an amazing cover of No Quarter! !!!!

Btw, I never heard Opiate until now and while I liked it, I like their last 2-3 albums much better. They have evolved a long way!

Ok gotta go, Descending just came on! :)

ChiefOKONO · Sep 18, 2019, 01:30 PM

Oh yeah, forgot about that. I never got Salival but I will check online for it!

There is no screaming because his voice is gone, can't hit that range anymore. I think that was one of the main reasons he toured with APC for so long, the songs were less demanding on his vocal chords. I remember reading an article when 10,000 days came out where he said the screaming is too hard on his voice these days.

This is Incredible!

By the way this tour is Incredible!!! I hope all the fans who want to go get to see it or they add more dates. They are playing better than ever IMO and Danny is just such a Beast! Also their light show and visuals are spectacular. The new songs fit in live really well too.

APR · Oct 25, 2019, 03:32 PM

I'd love it if they brought back No Quarter to the setlist. I saw them open with it once, and it was amazing. One more month until their DC show.

ChiefOKONO · Nov 05, 2019, 03:29 PM

really cool looking poster! I have a ton of posters but I would have probably gotten that to frame!

APR · Nov 26, 2019, 02:19 PM

The DC show was great. The new stuff was on another level - Invincible and Pneuma. I hope they add Tempest for the next leg of the tour.

That poster above is crazy and cool. Very hit and miss posters in my opinion. Tool posters sell out fast, but they often put them on their website for sale after the tour so keep an eye open.
