It's been 13 years since Tool has released an album, but that hasn't stopped fan fervor for the metal band. Over the weekend, Tool's 'Fear Inoculum' debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's 200 chart, dethroning Taylor Swift's 'Lover.'
The album sold 270,000 units in the U.S. and also debuted No. 1 in Australia, Norway, New Zealand, and Belgium, and in the Top 5 in the U.K., Germany, The Netherlands, Ireland, Italy and Finland.
The album's impressive debut was hardly surprising considering how many music lovers raced out to record stores to pick up a physical copy of the CD when it was released in late August. Part of the appeal of the new album was the special limited edition packaging. The deluxe package includes a tri-fold soft pack video brochure with a 4-inch HD rechargeable screen that plays exclusive video footage, a USB charging cable, a two watt speaker, a 36-page book and a MP3 download card. Fans that didn't grow up in the age of streaming still delight in pouring over liner notes and other extras packaged with an album.
