Mine "favorite" seems to change, depending on all the variables that life and time bring to us. The Patient has at times been the favorite. Currently probably Descending is what I would say.
One of the first ones lyrically where Maynard wasn’t pissed or depressed. It’s a celebration of being. And thankful for the present. Unlike the previous track Schism that’s reflecting their dissonance, Parabol/a comes together in mostly straightforward 4/4 time. Their music and the group’s more united. (Still building up to Lateralus) And hey, this is Danny Level 0 for air drumming. Practice!😆
I don't know if you're ready for Lipan Conjuring, Lost Keys, Rosetta Stoned. All 3 without stopping. The message of Wings for Marie & 10,000 Days is Deeeeeeeep.
My personal take on this song is it represents the arch of a human life... Parabol is in the womb as you spirit just starts to connect.. by the end it is returning to that place. (death) A parabola is a geometric arch with the vertex (highest or lowest point depending on the function) the 'vertex' of this combined song is where he sing ALIVVVVVVEEE - together they are 9:09 seconds long - the mid-point is 4:34 seconds - Parabol is 3:05 - so go to 1:29 seconds in Parabola (you will be in the middle of the line ALIVE (1:26 - 1:31) Other moving pieces for are the way he sings "Recognize this as a holy gift and Celebrate this chance to be" In this section pay attention to how he hold "BE" longer than any other. To me this is because that is the most important part of the stanza.
Eventually you'll get around to the song Ticks & Leeches - when you do, revisit this. The run of Parabol/Parabola -> Ticks & Leeches -> Lateralus on the album is unbeatable. They're not designed necessarily to be listened to as one (a la Disposition + Reflection + Triad) but, well, you'll see. Good luck flailing your arms along to Ticks & Leeches.
Also another thing you mentioned if you wanna hear what sounds like a "stolen riff" listen to blister in the sun compared to Jerk off (from TOOL's first ep)
So glad you were told to do these back to back. It's how they were meant to be listened to. Great reaction! Keep those arms flailing!
My favorite tool song has always been
“the Patient”
has a bit of
everything.
It’s an overlooked
gem💎& is 🔥
Patient has one of the best drops ever. Telegraphed, and still completely satisfies.

The transition between these songs gives me chills to this day, including when Maynard sings ALIVEEEEEE #GOATED
Agreed David! I took my husband to the Lateralus tour and they played this and to this day when I hear the ALIVEEE! I get chills. Love it.
I love this song
Yessssssss my song❤❤❤ I can't wait to get home from work to watch this!!

I do love though, that the meter is all over the place
@@dan.j.boydzkreationz Yep, gives it life, a huge part of the 'magic'!
So happy you are on this journey!
This dual song is a spiritual journey to a place of peace and harmony.
This band is on another level and can't be touched 💯🔥
They've ruined all music for me...
@@kennethalbert4653 🤣🤣🤣
They sat Holy because this a God tier level song.
This holy reality, this holy experience.... We are eternal, all this pain is an illusion ❤😢

Rosetta stoned is a horrible suggestion. Not a good 1st time reaction song.
@baconator1550 Did you actually read my comment?
Many have suggested these songs to him, and my answer is....
@@toddmayhew2676 regardless.. awful song(s) for 1st time reaction. 😂
The outro on Parabola is just so damn beautiful.....brilliant!!!
PAIN IS AN ILLUSION
Someone described TOOLs Guitar as ‚Drop D p***ography.‘ This is so true for this song.
Lateralus ( the album this is from) was recorded in the Fibonacci sequence. Amazing. Tool is amazing.

Nobody ever mentions the frogs 🐸
I have
Never noticed that before. Very subtle.
They've always been there 🤘🌀
Such a cool detail. It really works with the sort of naturalistic and primal theme the lyrics evoke.
@@TheBuglemouthBass🙄 tool pseudointellectual fans are so unbearable
Totally agree. It doesn't matter either way because he decided to start from Opiate and listen straight through the albums. Wise choice.
Beautiful song man
I have never heard the Pearl jam sound before but I totally get it now! And they are my two favourite bands
Seeing PJ in November
You should just feel out entire albums in one sitting by this point

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience.

We are eternal, all this pain is an allusion🌀
Illusion ??
Wings for Marie pts 1&2 back to back next
Don't worry, he's only using the word Holy 3 ways.....LOL
If you want to see the Master at work. Pneuna Drum cam.
Awesome vid. Now do it on acid
First?
We're always here somewhere
Gotta check out lost keys/rosetta stoned. Bit of a long listen but such amazing songs abt some dude tripping out on lsd lmao

GO BACK AND DO OPIATE SONGS
I’m going to start that journey next week! I’m excited!
