But...if so...ah man...talk about a dilemma.
Stay strong. We’ve come this far to break now. Imagine how sweet it’ll be in just a few short weeks to blast this new stuff completely blind! Something so rare in today’s society.
I think the new HD releases will suffice 29 days.

Right on Jackob! I haven't heard from Specter yet, but I'd bet that he's going to hang in there too.

you can burn 24 bit files to a dvd that will play on a dvd/bluray player. there is differences regardless. Mothers Milk by the chili peppers in 24 bit has a lot more bass then the CD version. not a trick. whatever peoples ears like is what matters. a file with more information is going to have more information but anyway. the bit depth isnt all that matters but i made that clear before. compression and how loud something is "the loudness wars'' is the worse thing that happened to music. but cool. i can sitll check the article out. im open.lukas wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2019 12:12 ammost people do not own devices that can properly play 24 bit files - your stereo needs a DAC that supports it. basically the differences you hear are made up by your subconcious. check out this article if the topic is something you are interested in: "high resolution audio makes no sense".bob wrote: ↑Thu Aug 01, 2019 11:56 pm 24 bit files are better quality then 16 bit (cd) there is a difference. it depends how its mastered/compressed too. on average ive found 24 files to sound better. more bass makes its way to the sound which is lacking in 16 bit often. if its too compressed it doesnt matter what it is, it will sound like garbage imo. im really curious to check this out in 24 bit. i wasnt sure they were going to do that. cool!
yep. i still use my mini stereo from freakin christmas of 95. the cd player broke the 2nd year i had it and the cassette 5 or so years that. i use it as a receiver though and it does what i need just fine. last year the LED light panel on the front got substantially darker but i manage. it owes me nothing at this point! knock on wood cause i still want to use it!

Aenima sounds amazing on Spotify, much more depth and clarity. Is it placebo?

As soon as a new track is up I'm listening. I'm all for holding out for a properly produced product but once its here, not touching it until I can play in in its album order is akin to self flagellation in my book.

It would be fantastic if we get more than songs and music videos on the official Tool YouTube channel.
Professionally shot live performances would be cool for those of us who live in countries where Tool doesn’t tour.

Strange I was listening to Aenima on the way home from work and thought it sounded fantastic, then thought maybe I was just excited to hear it on Spotify.

These new files sound fantastic... it's all very exciting to hear the old stuff coming through my speakers knowing that in a few weeks we can add Fear Inoculum to the catalog.

Seeing the new cover of Opiate got me excited until I realized it was JUST the cover but... hot damn listening to Reflection on the drive in this morning brought a fucking tear to my eye! Sounded great and Wow that song is in my Top 3 Top 5 for sure. Right up there with 10,000 days, Lateralus, Third eye

Yeah Reflection is underrated given how majestic it is... I was so intrigued back in the day (2001) with how mysterious it sounded at first and how it just builds and builds... and the lyrics or theme is possibly Maynard's best work. I love the analogy its built upon and the insights or wisdom that shine through (pun intended) in his lyrics.

Yeah D/R/T is so powerful. I’m hoping the climax of FEAR INOCULUM has something similar. If descending is the closer I’ll be cool w that.

Yep. Reflection is among top 5 Tool songs for me, the 4 others always changes. Just such a cool tribal sounding song, and the lyrics.. I won't go there.mattw wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2019 5:29 am Yeah Reflection is underrated given how majestic it is...

Just like Descending, Reflection doesn't have Maynard in it that much but when he's there, he's there. The only difference he's absent at the start instead of the end.

^Nice observation of the contrast between the two tracks.
Reflection had me hooked back in the day; I just kept listening to it over and over again. When I first heard Lateralus, I loved The Grudge, Schism and Lateralus as individual songs but Reflection and the whole D/R/T thing kept going through my head. Seeing it live was sick:
This clip features Adam Jones playing the last bit over and over again for 4 extra minutes... it pretty much reflects (again, pun intended) what my brain was doing back in the day... and notice the horizontal shifting repeat image projected in the video screens behind the band. Something deep is elicited here

Yeah seeing Adam playing the ending riff over and over has to be the one major thing I remember from seeing em live on the Lateralus tour.
Just standing there, solitary, dun dun dan dun dun.
Awesome sauce.

I remember before reflection started after disposition Justin's bass literally hitting me in the face. The sound wave could be felt. Others around me and myself had that holy shit what was that moment when it happened. Good times

Do you also remember how good Danny's bass drum sounded at the start of Eulogy?

I know it's only been about 9 hours, but I was surprised to be among the first 100-300 viewers on the Opiate YouTube videos.
