We are excited to announce that due to overwhelming demand for the FEAR INOCULUM deluxe CD package, a small additional quantity is being made.
We are offering a very limited pre-order for this final run of deluxe CD packages, which will be available exclusively via store.tooband.com.
For US orders, this offer is available NOW for today only (until 11:59pm ET).
For International orders, this offer is available for tomorrow only starting at 1:00pm ET (until 11:59pm ET).
Those who pre-order will immediately receive a download of the digital album featuring several bonus tracks. The CD packages should be ready to ship at the end of September.
Having just received my copy of the Fear Inoculum Deluxe CD, I must admit I am disappointed that my copy is an inferior version of the original package which was released (at the time of the album release). I was so overwhelmed after seeing my friends copy of the deluxe CD that I believed it was worth the investment, sadly this is no longer the case.
People who are able to compare the 1st batch of the deluxe CD's to the second batch released will know exactly what I mean
Hello,
I know that ya'll are a small company and that orders are probably larger than what you expected. Do you have an idea when the orders from September will start to ship? I bought mine the day of the announcement, and just would like some kind of update. (ie. we are 50% through, 25% etc.) Do you think that it will be shipped by Christmas?
Thanks so much,
Member for a long time.
Has anyone received their order from this "second run" ???
Thanks
Nope I haven't received it. And they have not even replied to my most recent email which was 2 weeks ago. I am starting to get worried. Who do I go to escalate this matter?
Still not received my paid cd, ordered at September 6th, with the expected shipping day of end September 2019.
When are you guys shipping?????????
I have not received mine either....?
Please do post when it shows up!
thank you
People are so used to instant gratification these days, they probably have less than 10 employees, and remember Tool didn't have to do a second printing, first they had to do the pre-order for both US and International orders, then order the CDs, LCD screens and packaging from multiple vendors who have other orders, wait for components to arrive and be assembled and packed, then shipped to the store's warehouse, these things take time of you were that impatient just buy one on eBay.
Exactly, brother. 2019 is a very scary place. Nobody can take accountability themselves anymore and are completely disconnected from reality.
While sheeple are so busy sticking up for shady/crooked unaccountable bizzne$$ over paying consumers these days smh. They didn't have to BUT THEY DID because of why, just for their loyal fans or for their own bottom line??? The no customer service store has nothing to do with the assembling printing lcd screens cds etc, they refuse to answer ANY paying customers yet they're gifted a free pass??? So just go buy from gouging scalpers is your final answer???
You are acting like this isn't one of the biggest metal bands in the world and that Volcano Entertainment, this "small business", is shocked by the demand for this album. It's been 13 years since their last album. If this demand was that big and they were caught off guard by the quantity order then put out an email to all who ordered saying such and giving us up dates every so often letting us know the progress instead of going dark with consumers who now think they have been had. Not that much to ask of a "small business". Would keep consumers from being this irritated.
Fellas, ladies, others, whats with all the name calling and pointing fingers huh. We all weep shades of cozened indigo........Seeing this situation I have written a song, have a listen and awoooga.....or was that woooza? https://youtu.be/0fXjbemolQo, https://open.spotify.com/album/6S1yeWyaWnwszFo6ga5NBM
SIX WEEKS since I ordered/my credit card has been charged and STILL HAVE NOT YET SHIPPED??? Here's the store's latest PATHETIC customer service generic email response:
"Thank you for contacting TOOL Orders. We have started sending out the Limited Edition Fear Inoculum CD. We are shipping out orders as fast as we can in the order that we received them. We apologize for the delays. As per the Tool Army Membership, we are currently experiencing delays in sending them out due to a large amount of recent orders. We are a small company with a small staff working around the clock to get your orders to you. We apologize again for the delays and any inconveniences this has caused you. We appreciate your patience and understand!"
They just added that "we are small company..." sentence to their generic reply recently so they must be getting mucho complaints. The one day sale was just 11 hours long and my order was confirmed THREE MINUTES after limited sale began yet they say orders are being shipped out from first to last orders??? This diehard is quickly losing their undying loyalty to this band, will never buy anything from tool store ever again, and really REALLY looking forward to the potential/looming painful process of trying to get a full refund from a most cowardly customer service who refuses to properly communicate with their customers.
Comrade,
Wake up, Remember!! If you're a diehard, you would have known that pre-orders were available at the beginning of August actually delivered on the release date. You purchased the 2nd round of pre-orders, which was NOT something they had to do bro, consider yourself lucky they opened that up again and you didn't have to pay $200 from a reseller. While this delay sucks, this is on you and nobody else.They were wrong with predicting how many copies they would sell, no doubt, and production most likely didn't start until after all of the 2nd round was placed, which was probably in the MILLIONS. The lack of understanding/gratitude and a complete disconnect from reality is actually amazing.
Shame on you
Shame on you, now
Be happy you can listen to it digitally- https://smarturl.it/TOOLFIa
Shame on ME??? You wrote yourself "they were WRONG" did you not??? They told every purchaser shipping BEFORE the end of Sept, lucky FOR THEM there was enough demand for a second run, shame on THEIR pathetic customer service. Oh and BTW, their first run wasn't even 250,000 copies, you'd know this if you were up on not-so current events.
What are the "bonus tracks" ? Got digital download but not seeing anything about bonus tracks.
it's just the three intermission tracks, the actual album only has 7 songs on it while the download has all 10. i was confused by this at first as well, bummed out thinking there were extra songs i hadn't heard yet relative to the album.
There's a gap in my TOOL collection! Emptiness in my heart! Although I have purchased a digital copy of Fear Inoculum, and have been thoroughly enjoying it every day since its release, I'm missing the pure joy of holding, hugging, having a physical copy. There's still hope, if I'm willing to pay anywhere between $275 - $400 (AU). Work has been scarce for the last few months. Leading up to the release I had to make choices between electricity and food, or Fear Inoculum. Now that my hours have become more regular, and there's cash to spare, finding a copy of the album is harder than finding a well in the desert. Times sure have changed from the good old days pre-online digital download dominance. Thanks for nothing Sony Australia!!!

Does anyone have a extra copy of the deluxe edition of Fear Inoculum that they would be willing to part with? Ive tried and tried to find one, missed the extra printing. Normally I would have pre-ordered being Ive been a fan since nearly the beginning. I thought I would be able to find a copy, but as it turns out, no I cannot except for at 100 bucks a copy. Thanks much, if you want to contact me, ctrader@twc.com. Thanks much....SLuteraluS
Does anyone have an extra ticket for the Raleigh NC show? My girlfriend and I are going, after hearing the new album my stepson is dying to go with us. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I bought my preorder of eBay w weeks ago, and waited. Release day came and went and it never arrived. The other day got an email saying I had been refunded.
At this point, I would settle for a simple audio CD version. Can't even find those.
Ridiculous.
When I recieved email with digital download I did not get the "several " bonus tracks that it says comes with. ???????
As a die hard Tool fan it is practically impossible to get the new FEAR INOCULUM deluxe CD package in a small f****** country as Belgium. Even if I wanted to order in The Netherlands, Germany,... it was alwas a NO ! I just got the news from Music Mania Ghent they should get a few ones end of September... but you can not
pre-order them, just have to wait on their newsletter... Fortunately I just saw Tool on Rock Werchter this Summer... Everybody keep you thumbs up for me an hopefully I'll become the owner of de new CD package. Akkie, 52 and still rocking like hell
I will mail you my copy, for original purchase price plus cost of shipping from Texas to Belgium via your preferred method, if you are truly in dire straits. I bought the cd deluxe, haven’t played the cd ONCE. I’d like it to go to someone who would obviously appreciate it, and who doesn’t deserve to be taken advantage of by scalpers and Johnny come lately “fans” who bought five copies and sell them for 5x what they paid.
Just watched the video a few times and downloaded the songs. So you can’t use the code, but it’s available to stream everywhere. I’d normally not charge original price since it is opened and code is used, but since the cd hasn’t even come out of the case, and considering the price they’re going for on eBay, i feel okay saying original price seems fair lol.
Let me know if you’re interested. We can email for further details if you are. My email is:
orectorintx@icloud.com
I was a day late.
Fuck me.
I was able to walk into a used CD store about six days after the release and pre-order the deluxe album. It was shipped and available on the 30th! The kid from the store called me, super excited! We rejoiced in the package and he filled me with stories of his DMT trips (he's had 40 he says), as we drooled over the new cd! Great day! As for TOOL and the band and the website and the pre-orders and the VIP- It's all I've ever asked for from the band! I'm pretty sure I'm locked out of TOOLARMY, but that's okay. I'm 41 years old and seeing concerts is something I don't really need to do. Although if they came closer and I had extra cash laying around, I probably WOULD have done the VIP! All Hail TOOL!
So, who would wr contact for questions. I joined the Tool Army over a month ago and got an email on some swag, that I paid shipping for. Still haven't gotten it.
I've emailed orders@toolband.com a couple times asking when my bundle will be shipped with no response. Its suppose to email you when it gets shipped. I'm guessing they probably got an overflow of orders.
Took awhile for mine also. It will come.
Hey everyone I still have a ticket for anyone who’s looking to go to the Philly show at Wells Fargo Center
Good seats too section 106 isle seats so we aren’t packed like sardines
Interested? Reply on here
do you have two?
I got 3 , one for me and one for my buddy but I have an extra 1
How much?
Same as what I paid .. I’m not trying to make money off of anyone for what I think everyone should experience at least once in their life
Tool making us Tools over a CD release. What a load of cognitive dissonance.
??
I just figured I could go to the store and buy one like I've always done, no I guess I'M THE IDIOT, I don't need everything delivered to me so why would I preorder on Amazon? Because I'M THE IDIOT
I just went on eBay and bought one for $100 therefore I'M THE IDIOT
That happened to me, too.
Thank GOODNESS I pre-ordered mine from amazon the day I heard about it.
Smart Move! It was available on Amazon a while. I bought my copy from a locally owned used cd store, which pre-ordered a copy for me! The guy at the store thought it was serendipity. It was just me walking in one day and them having to be a store with copies available. This was a few days after the pre-order release! Guess I got lucky! It's a great cd, huh?
I love the Music. Good stuff. Much love brother.
This is pretty sweet album art. I was able to purchase it at a record shop day of release. I like the portrait paintings of the band members. They have a lot of character. I also like the video.
Im super happy they did this - Im in Australia and not only are they heavily priced they appear very hard to find. I had pre-ordered yet barely any have made their way to our shores and not firm eta on their arrival yet! So i couldn't be more thankful they did this, so i can make sure i get my hands on one =)
Man, not be a dick but I see a lot of bitchin . The FI preorder was up for a week at least through multiple channels. During that whole week I ordered from Walmart, Target, Barnes & Noble, Amazon and an independent dealer. It's not like you guys didn't get a shot at it, they were taking sales for a long time.
Then yesterday, they posted this second chance for a final run at 4:45est on Twitter, 4:47est on Instagram, 4:48est on Facebook and whatever time on this page - giving you over 7 hours to purchase this SECOND CHANCE if you could not get one the first time around.
What the fuck is all the complaining about??
as for the VIP tickets.... that's a whole other story. We all knew this was coming, we all knew a new album and tour was on the horizon, being more than a casual fan (which was kind of a dick statement) I saved my hard earned money to get a VIP ticket. It was not surprise, they've only done VIP the past several years, its always been $500 bucks and t's always been worth every cent. I'll admit, the wording was definitely misleading but everyone is acting so fucking entitled.
If you love their music, buy the cd/download/deluxe package. If you wanna see them live, try when to get tickets they go on sale, ticketmaster (who is the real culprit) added steps to make it more fair and a waiting room queue. If you want an ultimate experience, save your money and buy the VIP like I did.
Quit trying to make the band out to be greedy assholes and trying to rob their fans because they are not, they have to play in a game that we all play in and furthermore, trying to please millions of people, one person at a time, simply can not be done.
Thank god someone finally said this, 'entitlement' is EXACTLY what these ppl act like... Tool doesn't owe anyone shit, if anything it's the other way around.
The only thing I want to add is an idea about bot verification for tool army memberships and store sales. Nothing is really preventing bots from getting in here...
i did have to check the i am not a bot BOX for the houston show
Doing a straight up, no bullshit, pre-sale for fans through a fan site that you have to pay to be a part of is NOT too much to ask, especially considering how hard it is to buy tickets through ticketmaster and the price jacking of tickets that happens the moment they go on sale. Just my two cents.
Well said William! Still love me some TOOL and I know they haven’t done an actual regular ticket pre-sale in a long time but, it was worded poorly and I assumed, that’s why I was a little bummed. Equally at myself as well as whoever wrote the original post. Although, with the way it was worded, there was an influx of the entitled.
Those of us who normally have a day or so to convince our significant others, if necessary, to spend the money on the VIP never even had the chance to consider it. The site was overloaded and crashed for me and by the time I was able to pull it up no tickets were available. I did manage some decent seats today at 1 of the 3 I was hoping to get to so at least not a total washout.
I wish they would never have mentioned the word pre-sale...and I think all floor seats should be open to exclusively to TA prior to general sale. It’s pretty infuriating seeing the prices the resellers are asking gouging the true fans when all we want is another fantastic TOOL experience! I know TOOL is gonna bring it at every show so it’s not the band I blame just these khaki short, polo shirt wearing fuckers who apparently all have trust funds too driving up demand and Ticketmaster, FUCK you?Ticketmaster FUCK you. I don’t feel Ike they did shit to shut down the bots or resellers, look at the prices of their “official ticket exchange” and how many tickets are doubled exponentially in price on various third party sites, its bullshit! They could give a fuck about the art, all about the money.
If anyone has a floor seat, or two, they can part with for Chicago or Indy let me know!
And yes, I felt plenty of time for preorder on album. I sourced 4 total through various outlets. 1 for now, 2 for later and 1 to open in the nursing home!
✌️
Amen!!
Fuck you buddy I'm done
YES!
So unless I check this website every single day I stand a chance to miss these things because you send no email about it to the Tool Army members?
I couldn't believe that either. Why did we even bother. smh
Bonus Tracks? Used the link to Download the album but all the same tracks as the CD... ?
the bonus tracks are the intermission tracks... the CD doesn't contain them but the digital download does
where are the bonus tracks? my download only has the regular album with the ten songs. anyone?
The cd can only just fit the 7 song's on it. The short intermission track's are the bonus tracks
roger that, preciate the reply
13 year wait for 2 insanely small batches to be all sold out within the first week? I missed out on the pre-order and every where in my region has been sold out. So there will not be another opportunity to buy one without paying at least 3X the amount.. This is "detrimentally crippling" to my personal collection of Tool memorabilia..
You have to check around I just scored on at Walmart. Had to ask them to check in the back.
Discogs has some decent pricing, albeit much higher than retail. Prices also dropped yesterday when the second chance was announced.
Would have been nice to see the new limited copy release available to ToolArmy people. Just saying.
I walked in to Target and purchased one of the 3 copies they had on 830. It was less expensive than the one listed on the merch page... Both come with a bonus download. Why the cost difference?
There may be a price break with the manufacturer. For instance 80k units may cost less per unit than 20k units. That'd be my theory.
target, walmart and amazon all had them on sale for their "best price guarantee" it's normal $45 but most them them completely at $37 - $40
se agotó la versión para el exterior!! ?pero mañana retiro mi paquete de membresía ?
hahah pienso tmb
I was able to purchase and received a download link via email provided. Downloaded all tracks no probs. Happy!
What were the tracks
I got the same tracks as the one I got at the listening party in Jerome, 10.
Thanks Herman. Can’t check it out until in near a computer. Thanks. Wish it had a digital copy of the video. I wish I could watch it on a big screen
You're welcome, Matthew. I hope to see you at one of their shows, if not, travel well good sir!
Have not yet " immediately received a download of the digital album featuring several bonus tracks"...
On the same boat. Hopefully we'll get them soon.
Check your spam folder. My download went there even though my confirmation was in my inbox.
Hmmm maybe I’ll buy this , sell out it for like 200? Get tool tickets?
GET THEM. TOOL TICKETS.
Thanks now I don’t have to pay scalped prices.
Errr T shirt?
What variant?
Vague doesn't begin to describe what this is
That tracks with everything posted here.
On the back of the two I have the geometric symbols are different...there are 3 variants apparently and a fuzzy pic of a 4th that’s debatable if is legit.
SELL ME SOME NEW TOOL STICKERS SO I CAN SLAP THEM ON EVERYTHING! Ordered another FI to boot!
danny carey's store's due for a new sticker pack with latest t-shirt designs released. wondering when they're gonna want to take my money for that.
STICKER PACKS RULE!
