This may be my favorite Tool album. Not the best, because Lateralus is literally impeccable, but I find myself enjoying this one the most.

Let me start by saving that I love tool, but this album is probably their weakest. The biggest problem that I have with this album is some of the songs are too long. This album does have a couple good songs and there are some moments of classic tool on here but I don’t think this was worth 13 years. A great analogy for this album would be Tool’s Chinese democracy. I hope one day we get another tool album and it will be great.
Best band ever I my opinion

I’ve been listening to Tool for more than half of my life. It’d be an understatement to say that this band means the world to me. After quite a bit of deliberation I have come to the conclusion that Fear Inoculum is my second favorite album of theirs after Aenema. It is Tool at its most mature, at their most experimental. The bass, the drums, the guitar and the vocalist are all at their apex of complexity.
Wizened by years and experience this album has transported me to places I didn’t know possible on multiple occasions. All I have to say is that if you’re a fan and are not bought in right away, give it some more time. This is a slow burn and to me is the most purely creative endeavor of their entire careers.
Most labyrinthine release yet.

This record is DENSE. Give it time to sink in, use good headphones. The vibe is unassailable as is the musicianship. My superfan nerd complaint is that MJKs vocals fell a bit flat for me… There’s so little of him on the album. When there is, there’s no power outside of a few moments on 7empest. He’s voice is still great, just wish he’d use it a bit more often. Tremendous musicianship, as should go without saying.
And as usual a labyrinth of amazing songwriting. Please continue to make music guys.
great album its reall sounds good

Fear Inoculum isn’t just an album — it’s a living, breathing force. Every track pulls you deeper into a world of sound where time, space, and emotion bend. I’ve never been so addicted to a record.
Danny Carey is widely considered one of the greatest drummers of all time. His style is this unreal mix of precision, power, polyrhythms, and deep, almost mystical timing. On Fear Inoculum, he’s especially insane — blending complex time signatures, tribal rhythms, and jazz influences into something that feels primal and futuristic at the same time. A lot of his drumming is inspired by sacred geometry and even mathematical patterns, which gives Tool’s music that hypnotic, otherworldly pulse you can almost feel in your bones.
Tracks like “Pneuma” and “Invincible” absolutely blew me away, with “Fear Inoculum” itself standing as my third favorite. Each song feels like its own universe — emotional, powerful, and endlessly layered. They leave you feeling like you’ve traveled somewhere far beyond yourself.
Tool created something eternal with Fear Inoculum. It’s not just music you hear — it’s music you live. Pure art.
A complete failure

Tool forgot how to write a SONG. This is just a collection of riffs (including some very good ones) that meander along without amounting to much. There are great sections, but there aren’t any good songs. Such a waste. They are immensely talented musicians. This is utter garbage, and this is coming from a Tool fan.
To all you defenders saying this is “technical” and “inventive”, Maynard is sitting back counting the dollars and laughing at YOU. Tool went into the studio, just screwed around lazily, knowing that we’d buy. Yes I bought, but at least I can see what this is. A cash grab. Shame on you Maynard, and shame on all you defenders. Put the bong down for a few minutes and admit you’ve been had. They put almost no effort into this.
Boring

I fall more in love with this album every time I listen to it, as has been the case with every Tool album. As a fan since the early ‘90s, I can’t express enough my awe and gratitude for the artistry and commitment from these guys. Just mind blowing.
There are parts of this album that are absolutely awe inspiring. I want more, but if this is the end, what an amazing epic gran finale.
Also, see them live while you still can. It’s worth taking a plane ride for if you have to.
I was not a Tool fan

before listening to Fear Innoculum. This review is based on hearing only this album. I liked “Sober” but figured the band was always too intense and didn’t buy Tool albums or listen to them. I am coming to Tool very late - and backwards. Video for Pneuma was impressive (the one isolated on drummer Carey. Wow!)
so I downloaded Fear.
I listen to music while I work on mechanical/electric projects in a workshop. I listen to whole albums.
After hearing “Fear” a few times, I am converted, enamored, in awe of Tool’s music. I listened to Fear every day and it opened up. Layers of beauty, complexity, strangeness and power revealed themselves. This is some of the best music I’ve ever heard in my life! Apparently some “fans” were disappointed by this album. I feel sorry for them. I look forward to hearing Lateralus and Aenima for the first time. Lucky me.
Tremendous work

I’ve been waiting patiently for this album. I am blown away. It’s more than perfect. You can’t point your finger at Maynard because he was waiting patiently as well, and in the meantime he has written and recorded brilliant songs with A Perfect Circle and Puscifer. Every song Maynard has recorded is pure gold. He has inspired my life way longer than Jesus has, and continues to do so. Thank you Adam, Justin, Danny, and Jimmy. Amazing
