No one could have blamed you if, even up until the very last minute, you doubted that Tool's new album, Fear Inoculum, was really going to come out. It's been 13 goddamn years, after all. But Tool Army, the wait is officially over: Fear Inoculum is here. The album spans seven tracks in its physical edition, 10 in its digital version, but only six cuts feature vocals: "Fear Inoculum," "Pneuma," "Invincible," "Descending," "Culling Voices" and "7empest." That said, every one of those songs exceeds the 10-minute mark, with the full LP clocking in at over 79 minutes even in its briefest incarnation. It's epic. It's dense. It's cryptic. We love it, but it's far from easy listening. You should be dissecting and discussing it for a long time to come.

You can stream and download Fear Inoculum now via your favored digital music platform, including YouTube below.
