Yep, quite a stunning album that takes several listens imo before it gels.Originally Posted by Pete812
After a bit of an absence I too have been listening to Tool - Fear Inoculum on home recorded CD in the car and have liked it.
So after buying a Ifi Zen Air dac/headphone amp the other week have given it a fair listen now for the computer, Didn't realise that it was this good!

“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

Probably is, but I never play my copy because it sounds shite. I blame it on being a picture disc.

Don't be so hard on the vinyl format, you might upset some of the loyal legions of fans of the format on here who may read your comment!!!Probably is, but I never play my copy because it sounds shite. I blame it on being a picture disc.

It's not that Loz, I don't have a problem with vinyl, but I've long harboured the feeling that picture discs and coloured vinyl tend to sound 'wrong'. At least that is what I've found with the few I own.
I also have "We Too Are One", "Revenge", "Touch", "Be Yourself Tonight" and "Savage" on normal black vinyl (all fine iirc), and "Peace" on CD which is excellent.
But I'll put "Sweet Dreams" on my CD wish list. Not heard it in years.

You're never gonna believe it but, I managed to pick it up on CD from a charity shop on Saturday for £1.Mind you, I have owned it on (black) vinyl since it came out and it still sounds good on there too; but for a £1....................... I thought, that's coming home with me!!!
Definitely put it on your wish list - it's worth it !!!!!
