Fear doesn’t break any new ground, but for a band who has been so far ahead of its time for so long there’s no need. I definitely had my concerns, but this group of 50-something alt-metal parents of young alt-metal children who haven’t recorded anything in over a decade are still able to wow us. but since two weeks time is not nearly enough time, Fear Inoculum is going right near the middle. Holy fucking shit! It finally happened! A brand new Tool album! Time will tell just where this album should ultimately rank. Key Tracks: "Pushit (live)," "No Quarter" Salival is the band’s only release inexplicably excluded from streaming platforms, and given its comparative lack of vision and original recordings, that is fine by me. Over the years I find myself going to this version over the original.

My favorite is the re-creation of “Pushit"-an already emotional track slowed down in its first half and brought back around for a big climactic finish. The 1990s were primitive times. Of the nine total tracks, two are covers: “You Lied” from Chancellor’s previous band Peach and Led Zeppelin’s “No Quarter,” the latter being in my opinion better than the original.Īt best, Salival showed us they were still creating. We just had to wait until an annoying radio DJ with a wacky DJ voice announced a world premiere single.

Before social media you couldn’t bombard Maynard’s Twitter profile until he answered. For hardcore fans, it was a life raft that gave us hope new material was on its way-and more importantly dispelled rumors the band was breaking up. Released in between Aenima and Lateralus, Salival is Tool’s only live album to date. Note: the argument can be made (usually by me, to everyone) that Tool has yet to make a bad album, so the following is a ranking of their least perfect to most perfect albums. Below, I rank their five studio albums, one EP and one live album. He along with singer Maynard James Keenan, guitarist Adam Jones and drummer Danny Carey have consistently toured and very inconsistently released albums for 29 years. Not only did their music survive the '90s, they as a band stayed together undergoing just one lineup change, swapping bassist Paul D’Amour for Justin Chancellor. It’s 2019 and Tool is still among the greats. Time is art’s greatest and most impartial critic. I was an angsty, unpopular teenager in the '90s, so artists like Tool made me feel less emotionally and physically alone. Most songs on my local radio station (I’m 900 years old) were short, had definitive verses and hooks and didn’t make me question my spiritual place in the universe. The first time I heard Tool I knew something was different.
