I love it. The production on Invincible sounds amazing. Cant wait to hear it on CD too.

I was discounting them at first b/c they've been played live but damn, Invincible and Descending are perfect. Epic album.

And damn the main riff on Pneuma at about 3:15 is incredible.

It is good, but they will NEVER top Aenema. They should have saved those songs for now. They have put out some amazing songs but that album has ZERO fillers even with the answering machine track and the Nazi bit.

I love AEnima and Lateralus is probably my favorite all time.

But so far, this is way stronger than anything they have done when you look at the musicianship and skill level.

Danny/Justin are on a whole other level, Maynard takes a back seat but comes through when he needs to.

And Adam, holy crap Adam

The segues haven't leaked have they?

I've been through it once. Stand out track to me was Tempest.

I'll need to give this album a few more listens, but so far, I'm happy with it.

The leak was ripped from the CD, which doesn't have the segues.

The download code in the package has a link to the digital version with the segues, but the link is not active yet

I know the CD I'm getting Friday will sound better, but if the Spotify version sounds better than the one I have I'd be impressed.

I know what this album reminds me of now, it's like Tool and King Crimson had a baby

Don't you dare sully KC with that. About the only comparison is that Adam Jones' riffs are about as repetitive as a mellotron.

TOOL and KC are really good friends.

IMO KC is the best analogy to Tool more than any other band.

They are obviously not alike in many ways, but do share a lot as we..

They even played shows together.

Just listened to the album

It's not possible to release better music than this after a 13 year gap.

It's an amazing album and I'm not saying it's an amazing album for an aging band. It's an amazing Tool album straight up. First listen in and it already has bent 10,000 days over backwards. It has the same type of cohesiveness that made Aenema and Lateralus so great.

If you liked the title track Fear Inoculum at all, I have great news for you, it's the weakest song on the album.
