Have already listened to the album a few times since it dropped at midnight. This is the modern day Dark Side of the Moon. If this is their last offering, what a way to go out.
Happy TOOL day

Need to tell my wife about tool day
Had a CyTwins joke queued up... but tomorrow's game day and I'm feeling nice.
If you do, your girlfriend is going to be pissed.
Early review: It sounds like Tool. That's a good thing.
Ok, I'm going to sound old now but usually when an album drops I can buy it somewhere. Is there anywhere to purchase a hard copy on CD anymore?
You don't shop on the interweb? You could try a Barnes & Noble (seriously).
Sorry kids, we are listening to Tool on the way over to the game.
I'm not that old. I tried Amazon and Walmart.com. Did they make a hard copy album? As obsessed as they were with the albums in the past I can't imagine they went to download only. Ok here is the fine print from Amazon.
The album will be available digitally, and in a special Limited Edition physical package that includes a CD in a tri-fold Soft Pack Video Brochure featuring a 4" HD rechargeable screen with exclusive video footage, a USB charging cable, a 2 watt speaker and a 36 page insert book and MP3 download card.
I've never been a huge Tool fan, but this new album is really good.
I heard Fear Inocculum (?) online and it reminded me a lot of Lateralus. I didn't like Lateralus at first, was wanting more angry Aenima sound. It took a while, but now it's absolutely my favorite.
And whoever said Dark Side, I have to agree. Tool has ALWAYS reminded me of Pink Floyd: deep lyrics and strong, unique (and long) instrumentals.

To bad he's a huge KU fan. He even wore a KU basketball jersey during the concert in Des Moines.
The first run of this CD was pretty limited. If you search online you can find some unboxings and such. I'll try to post pictures of mine when it gets in this afternoon. Supposedly they're running "normal" CD's in a few months.
I'm pretty sure he had a basketball scholarship out of high school to KU. Chose to move out to LA instead.
I'll give my full review with album pictures.
I typically prefer A Perfect Circle's tunes to Tool, but this album is much better than the latest APC for sure. Well done! Invincible is a great track.
