Thoughts on: Tool – Fear Inoculum

This album cover looks like a crappy logo photoshopped onto a PC screensaver. Luckily, the music is much better! I was six years old when 10,000 Days came out, so I don't really have the right to complain about having to wait thirteen years for this. Fear Inoculum is Tool's most meditative, spiritual, and God-like … Continue reading Thoughts on: Tool – Fear Inoculum →
