Engine's music musings

Now listen up, here’s the story about the culture of Tool. Inside, and outside we will look at the people who i have experienced in the past decade for the band, because they don’t have anyone else who would listen to them. You see, most people say that it’s alright, it’s okay to look the other way if you don’t like the same music, as a sane human would try to understand. Most people would say, it’s alright, it’s okay, I’ll live to see another day if you like something other than myself. But Tool fans are the opposite of understanding. Tool is a unique Band that seems self aware of the mysterious marketing ploy it set up upon the dawn of their inception. There is a song, however not in their newest album, but they discuss how tool fans literally buy into the eccentric marketing around them. It is as if every breath they take is held sacred to the fans, every move they make a piece of art that must be kept safe and appreciated by all. It is a curious look at how the simple act of play

Tool’s most recent album, Fear Inoculum has been quite the  long-awaited  album in the Progressive Rock community.  I myself had been waiting for it since my  high school  years, having been a fan of them since I was a little kid after having been given my brothers old  Tool CD’s back in the late 90’s. My first impression of the album felt very similar to the first listening of the album  Undertow, even with no correlation in meaning, but a similar feel to the music (at least for me).   There hasn’t been any true meaning given to the new album just yet by the band, but there have been many speculations. With a name like Fear Inoculum,  first being Fear and second being Latin for Inoculation or vaccine,  it  gives me the impression that  this album is about  suppression  of something. Tool as a group themselves have always equated their music to many social troubles and issues, but  this one I feel has a more umbrella meaning as far as society goes all together.
