I asked him this almost exact question... He came up with some long convoluted answer to remind me (again) that there is only ONE, 1, UNO, SINGLE way to interpret the album name.
Of course he did.

And nobody's getting upset, as far as I can tell. We aren't allowed to troll him back? Hmmm, Mr. soon to be moderator?
Troll away good sir. I too like to call my pal Mog out on his bullshit, just making sure you're fully aware he's no doubt sitting in his power rangers briefs eating Doritos lapping this shit up

Even if he is just trolling, it's pretty sad. He's a sad sack of Doritos.

The art work is still the colour of cheese but the title is quite good I think. Obviously leaves lots of room for speculation on its meaning as required by TooL lore.

Mog have you watched the Stephen Fry video that I posted? I hope so because its quite delightful to listen to - and he uses the word pedant which is a lovely word and aptly describes your posting style in this tread. Language evolves and changes. Dictionaries and scientific journals reflect changes and growth in our understanding as well as our questions and are not static sources of knowledge. In fact they will always lag a little behind.

I think the title is pretty self explanatory and contrary to what MOG keeps rattling on about is not grammatically incorrect.

Fear is the substance used to incoulate. The purpose of the inoculation is not necessarily vaccination to create resistance, but rather the introduction of an infective agent into a culture, for malevolent purpose.

Which to me fits neatly with everything he was talking about yesterday in the podcast. The more it sits with me the more I like the title.

That's what the anti vaxers would have us believe about the inoculum of poliovirus.

i guess your record store buddy guessed right! haha jk. thats cool he knew something. he wouldnt spill the beans entirely but i understand that.

i like the title but after saying it for a day or so its kind of a mouthful.
what do you think people will abbreviate it too ?

i kinda like saying ''oculum''. i started thinking about album names last night and a lot have 3 or 4 syllables at most. once u start going beyond that it can get a little messy. not always but still.

That certainly resonates. Consider the last decade and how that’s escalated. Astronomically since 45 stole *gained power in the US.
There sure has been a lot of fear mongering for 3 years about Russia, Russia, Russia from the Left since 45 came into power that's for certain...

Isn't this obvious? The band, this album is the inoculent against fear, being people's irrational individual and tribalist bullshit in recent years but also historically. People are retarded and do retarded things in a panic. Tool perscribes this tool to help, apply directly to the forehead.

I don't know why they had to specify fear in the title. It sounds lame and certainly isn't the only motivation behind the darkness of men. This is why I didn't like the title off the bat. It is too specific and obvious. Opiate, Undertow, Aenima, Lateralus, 10,000 Days... these all have some level of ambiguity or scale of varying application.
