When a fan will drop £80 (or more) to own one album, you know they're going to be deaf to any kind of criticism, Patrick.
Personally I have nothing against Tool. I own Anima (a gift from the same friend who just paid all that money for Fear Inoculum) but it's not an album I listen to with any frequency. In fact I'm not sure it's been out of the case more than twice at most. But if I was a bigger fan of them I would be majorly pissed off after 13 years if they come along and said the only way I could own their long awaited new album was digital or drop £80 on the CD.

I can live without it. Certainly not paying £80 and digital doesn't interest me. Sooner or later a standard version will probably be released then I might get it.

I expect they will eventually release a normal CD and maybe a vinyl edition (because that's a popular market they're just ignoring right now), but who knows when that will be? I doubt they'd do it until demand for the £80 version has dried up.

Delaying a standard physical release also increases the numbers choosing to buy two copies, i.e. digital followed by CD/LP. Or am I being cynical?

Nope it's just the same with gaming with people saying they'll buy games on Epic because they can't wait for them and then buy them on Steam as well.
