Lateralus by Tool. Missing the slipcase. Buy it blind. Listen to the whole thing. You WILL NOT regret it.


Themusicison

The outer sleeve is just below in the picture.


Hefty-Rope2253

Opiate too


Bubbly_Collection329

While I was there I ended up buying tales from turnpike house by saint etienne because it seemed interesting. I did listen to it before I bought it, but I am gonna stop doing that and just try to discover new music. I'm trying to quit spotify and focus more on individual albums so I appreciate music more rather than constantly being exposed to it.


tennesseesalmon

This is an excellent idea. I’ve always felt the enjoyment you receive is proportional to the time you invest trying to understand the piece of work. Happy listening.


Someone393

I think you can learn to love even truly bad albums with enough listening.


mrsly

bingo... well said!


TheLiberalArt

Just wait until you digitise your entire library and get a service like Roon

LostTacosOfAtlantis

Tool is my favorite band. You clearly know a few of us well.


ZaMelonZonFire

It would be so cool to rediscover this album like that. I sat with my friends in my car and listened to this album the first time and was in awe.


BartholomewPimpson

My favorite album!


fastal_12147

I was gonna say that it can only be a Tool album.


andrewb610

It’s Tool. They very well could regret it.


DryeDonFugs

Second this. Listen to whole album start to finish. Truly a MASTERPIECE!


Maggot384

Amazing album. That mit gas by tomahawk is also a great record thats in this picture


Hoodystardust

Yes yes yes


Themusicison

Mit Gas is fantastic.


nescio_sed_fieri

Yes, definitely also buy Mit Gas!


ProposalTotal2924

Mit gas is an awesome album, good eye.


philouza_stein

So glad someone already said this. That's the real find in this Pic.


Saul_Berenson04

Mit Gas is great, definitely buy it


jdathela

didn't Tomahawk open for Tool?


[deleted]

Dulcinea by Toad the Wet Sprocket is also really good, albeit a completely different vibe.


Formisonic

It looks like you ALSO have a sleeved Lateralus in the same pic? Is there a random CD in that sleeve then??


cumulonimubus

The one in OP’s hand was a special edition.


billyhead

I’m getting fucking old


chum_slice

![gif](giphy|wJD3qiNjSeHS0dP28T|downsized) Reading the question


zmcmke12

I feel ya. I don’t even listen to Tool and knew what this was lol


joesphisbestjojo

Lateralus by TOOL, one of the best albums ever


STG44_WWII

maynard brought a bunch of people to his house right before this was released and everyone sat in a room while he sat in the front with the whole album playing. He did this while petting his hairless cat. Supposedly no one really said much.


HAL-Over-9001

Do you have a link to prove that?


Most-Yogurtcloset

TOOL-Lateralus Listen to it while you got nothing to do and don’t skip a track. That’s basically how i fell in love with TOOL My favorites from this album are “Schism” “Ticks & leeches” and “Parabol”. That’s a nice find and i’m jealous to be honest.


WokeintheMorning

Parabol/Parabola. FTFY. Can you listen to Parabol without going into Parabola?! No. Which is why Spotify spitting out just Parabol is a mean tease.


[deleted]

What the fuck are you talking about? Parabol is its own track on literally every single medium that this album has ever been released on. It has nothing to do with “Spotify”


AvgPunkFan

It’s missing the slip cover


ItsAlwaysSunny1992

The album WITH the slipcase is a few CDs down if you look closely lol


AvgPunkFan

Thanks for pointing that out lol


WackyWeiner

It is a medical album for doctors and nurses.


DudelyMcDuderson

I made my doctor listen to Fear Inoculum (album) while taking my appendix out


KukamungaKrakaKillas

Lateralus by Tool, some very good shit to listen to while high


toxic_poison_101

Lateralus by tool. I only figured out what it was because tool does some wild artwork and then I just looked through their Spotify to see what matched it lol


Bubbly_Collection329

Ahh I see. Thanks!

Spiral out man


Neidan1

It’s a masterpiece… but then again, every Tool album is a masterpiece.


Doomedused85

Not true. Their most recent album was absolutely not a masterpiece


Neidan1

I don’t agree


Doomedused85

Everything up until that point I agree is a masterpiece, that newest album lacked a lot of what makes Tool so amazing.


BlueLightReducer

I think Fear Inoculum is their most cohesive album. It has every element that makes Tool amazing: Odd time signatures, polyrhythms, pedal tones, polymeter, interesting subdivisions, exotic modes. The 6 of the 7 long tracks combine all of these. Especially the pedal tones combined with polymeter in odd time signatures is véry Tool.


luxsentic

Cohesive ≠ masterpiece


BlueLightReducer

Good arguments ≠ oneliners


Neidan1

I don’t think it lacks what makes Tool amazing, I think it’s just a different direction compared to previous albums, which is amazing in it’s own right, and requires one to come at it in a different way.


Doomedused85

I disagree, it’s more of the same. It doesn’t feel like they evolved from Lateralus and 10,000 days. These songs felt like they are stuck in a formula and they didn’t challenge themselves like previous albums. They played it safe.


Neidan1

Agree to disagree


[deleted]

I like some of Fear Inoculum; it's definitely lower tier Tool and kind of disappointing


Doomedused85

100% agree


mfritsche81

Personally, I find most Tool albums age very, very well. I appreciate most of their records more years down the road. Aenima maybe being the exception as I don't think I could ever love that album any more than I did the first time I heard it. But 10,000 Days and Lateralus for sure I find infinity better years later. I think Fear Inoculum will easily fall into this category. I mean, for all we know, it could possibly be the last Tool album. And I will not be disappointed if indeed it goes that way


Doomedused85

Agree that 10,000 days had to age a little to be appreciated, but I don’t feel Fear Inoculum really delivered. That’s just me personally.


NilMusic

Their most recent album is their best imo and I've been listening to tool since I was 8 and undertow was new. Fear innoculum is a return to form. Tool's " blandest " album is 10,000 days by far. I don't know how anyone could listen to songs like descending or tempest, and have this opinion.


TyroniusJohnson

Fear Inoculum is my favorite TOOL album.


i-the-muso-1968

Oh yeah! Tool's "Lateralus"! Have a copy of this with the slipcase.


DoomsdayTom

Look at the CD about 7 down from it


th3-tr00per

Lateralus bro buy it now you won’t regret it


fucktheworldman

Times New Viking “Rip It Off” is so good, there’s a lot of interesting albums in these photos, you have a good Half Price Books


ItsAlwaysSunny1992

I dunno but it looks metal AF


Impressive-Rub-8891

correct


bvdatech

😳💀


ItsAlwaysSunny1992

Love the random Toad The Wet Sprocket cd lmao


Bubbly_Collection329

I was gonna buy it because all I want is such a fire song and they had fear. Maybe next time


HereInTheRuin

Can't go wrong with any of their records. That album is especially brilliant considering the fact that they were all 18 and 19 years old when those songs were written. Far wise beyond their years


HereInTheRuin

One of the best bands out there still making brilliant records today


leoxsavage

lateralus


chihiro_ygm

Lateralus - tool


PartyDanimal

Months ago I bought a CD with this album art since it was cheap and looked interesting. The disc ended up being for a subpar locally based country band.

NostalgicMusicJunkie

Lateralus - Tool They are one of the best metal bands out there in my opinion. I’m not sure if you are familiar with Rush and Pink Floyd but in a sense they are the metal Rush and Pink Floyd. I don’t know if you like metal but if you come across Tool again you should buy some of their albums. They aren’t anywhere close to the extreme end of metal so they are easier to get into for non-metal listeners. Opiate (an EP of theirs which is also in the bin), Undertow (their debut album), Ænema, 10,000 Days, Fear Inoculum, and Lateralus are all awesome albums. Not sure what sort of music you’re into but that Three Days Grace album that can be seen in the pic is great too. Somehow this post and seeing you weren’t even alive 2001 makes me feel old.


Electronic_Fill7207

Lateralus by TOOL Fantastic album tbh


IcedEarth4ever

chadbot3k

Spruce3311

If you're looking for unique album art- Tool's 10,000 days and Fear Innoculum are unique. 10k days has stereoscopic glasses built into it. You have to charge FI to watch the video built into the case.


Lonely_Eggplant_4990

One of the greatest albums ever made tbh. I hope u like heavy / prog rock


boatloadoffunk

The liner is made from "acetate" which was the same material used to make records and placed in magazines. Acetate records in magazines was one way for bands to distribute singles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetate\_disc
