I was just about to post this. So basically, I have to give up control of my account to enter your contest? Wtf are they trying to pull here?

Hey, look at how many people handed over everything on their phone so their friends could see what they’d look like older.

Now that we know for sure that a Tool record is coming, I think it's time we resume guessing the new Tool album, Fear Inoculum.

FEAR INOCULUM - August 30th

Given Storf’s view on Tool I’d be surprised if we get any exclusives of them.

Also, I think I am roughly the same age as Storf and the jocks at my school thought Tool was “gay” they were way more into Metallica (Loaded, anyone?), Pantera, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Rage Against the Machines, etc... the artsy goth kids who were into NIN and Marilyn Manson were way more into Tool (though there was some crossover) I think Tool was too “weird” for most the jocks when they were looking for angry aggro mook bangers to get swole too.

damn storf needs to go talk to someone

I don't know Tool because only the weirdos at my school listened to them. The kids that would write on their hands.

I’m the same age as Storf, and I have a very different view of Tool. I completely get that it’s not for everyone. But I do feel they are critically and objectively good artists.

 

[Joe Mac]

I never liked Tool. I don’t think that was helped by them putting Bill Hicks on an inside cover, I really hated that unfunny ranter...

That said, they were outsider music so I’m, as usual confused by the weirdness that is a storf opinion...

Storf is just being a tool as usual!

And The Comet is Coming has gone from "Shipping in September" to "not appearing in my orders page at all." Cool.

Same.

I remember seeing a tweet from him a while back where he gave Weird Al shit because he said Al made his living "making fun of fat people." Because clearly if there's one person in the music industry who is problematic, it's fucking Weird Al of all people.

If something an artist said or did rubbed you the wrong way, or you dislike an artist by association, then that's well within your right to not like them. But personally I wouldn't want someone who can't look past their own personal biases and experiences to have a position of influence curating albums for a wide audience.

C'mon, we all know VMP would do anything with tool given the chance to.

But every exclusive they do will be like $37 USD.

My Tool story:

Years ago I was taking a road trip with two friends from SF to LA. I was in the back seat, trying to sleep and every time I started nodding off they would crank the stereo up, which happened to be Tool on repeat.

I hate Tool.

I’ve had a similar road trip experience, but it involved Meat Loaf. That’s why I hate Meat Loaf.

Not a road trip, but in high school, I had to do a choreographed dance routine to Cher Lloyd's "Want U Back". I am soooo glad that song hasn't had any sort of staying power because I'd probably have a mini-breakdown every time I hear it.
