Five Burning Questions: Billboard Staffers Discuss Tool's Huge Debut With 'Fear Inoculum' Comeback Album What is it about Tool and FearInoculum that still allows them to put up such impressive numbers, 13 years later? Our staffers weigh in below
In the midst of a number of iconic, paradigmatic '10s artists releasing much-discussed new albums -- Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, Post Malone -- the No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 this week belongs to a band whose prior full-length came in 2006. have topped the album charts this week, moving 270,000 in first-week units, mostly from straight sales .
Point is, this is a band that did killer album sales numbers back when it actually, you know, put out new music. It’s well established that rock fans are still the types to buy albums. Tool took 13 years to put out an album that had become almost mythical in terms of whether or not it would ever actually exist. Of course this was gonna be huge.: Tool has always just been exceptional at being Tool.
could be absorbed as a book with each song living as its own chapter. There is no one song that mirrors the next, yet each one bonds in a clash of time and space pivoting from one point in time, through melody and narrative, to the subsequent stage, without any kind of disconnection. that screams “new trend alert!" -- just a top-line rock act returning after 13 years away and scoring a gigantic debut, regardless of how long or short the songs are.
. I guess if anything, it proves that Tool fans won’t look at a Tool album and be turned off by crazy song lengths across the board -- which, yeah, we’ve known. This album was going to do well whether Tool had six 10-minute songs or six one-minute songs, and it isn’t going to spur some new era of acts going prog metal.: I think you can generally take away that there's still value in doing the thing that no one else on your level is currently doing.
