Fear Inoculum in Vinyl


Anybody else enjoying the vinyl edition of this great album ? I thought the CD was well recorded but to my ears the vinyl edition is much better. My vinyl playback and digital system are very close in sound quality with different presentations. I could do without the extras that pushed up the price but having said that if you like Tool and play vinyl this album is a must listen.

I am disappointed in some of the responses to this post. I simply asked if anyone had listened to this great album. If you don’t like vinyl playback that is your problem but that wasn’t what I was looking for in this post. For the vinyl naysayers I would be delighted to play the CD and vinyl formats for you and you can decide which you prefer. I really enjoy digital playback but there is a musical presence to some vinyl recordings that the digital copies just can’t equal. I think that a lot of the vinyl naysayers haven’t had the privilege of listening to a really good vinyl playback system.

I own all formats - Vinyl, CD, and digital.  My preference is the vinyl.  Notes on the vinyl boxset state:

Recorded & mixed by Evil Joe on 2" Analog tape

Mastered for CD & Digital by Bob Ludwig @ Gateway Mastering Studios 

Mastered for Vinyl by Chris Bellman @ Bernie Grundman Mastering

Iwin, I have not heard the vinyl release of the album, but I appreciate your opinion on it's SQ. If I see a good price on it, I'll be less hesitant to jump on it.

Yes, trolls like Jackedhifiguy, who have a need to hijack threads to push their limited, prejudiced opinions on everyone certainly detract from the experience.
