#TOOL #Invincible #Reaction #FearInoculum #urbanshaman
I filmed the drum cam reaction last night, but I have a crazy week so it might be a few days before I can edit it and post it, but I'm pretty sure I'll have it out by Thursday or Friday.
Can't wait!!
Nice tease lol
You’re the man!
Sweet!
👍
This song has more endings than Return of the King.
Descending and Invincible have to do with them realizing they are aging but also admitting they are back and still incredible. They proved that with this album
Tears in my eyes chasing Ponce de Leon's phantom soul
Filled with hope, I can taste mythical fountains
False hope, perhaps
But the truth never got in my way
Before now, feel the sting, feeling time bearing down
As I approach 50 I can definitely relate
My favourite Tool song currently. Adam Jones is a genius, as is the whole band. Timeless!
This is 100% the age old struggle with aging....you, me, anyone just feeling the sting of time bearing down, we are not invincible and some day we will end...but this mofo....and this band are going down fighting......the most incredible band in the world.....I will listen to and Love Tool until my time here ends! Thank you brother for doing this, you took "our" journey and now you know why we have been listening to Tool......30 years of my life sided by side with this music, these lyrics, these songs...
Well said brother. Couldn't agree more.
That chugging section always gives me native American warpath vibes which is great thematically
"Is that it?"
Adam: "No sir, it is not."
In my opinion, this is their best song. Speaks to me like no other...and I am a huge Tool fan. But this song man...
Same.
its crazy that the drummer of my favorite band is 60
And still in his Prime
And he's jacked for 60
Props being one of the one's who are genuinely interested in what they are reacting and not acting
Ya i can't stand that. Then they half read the lyrics and tell you what the song is "about"
That first solo you hear when it slows down is the bass guitar
Not true actually. Guitar is first, bass solo is toward the end before the chug riff starts.
This album is a fookin masterpiece
Indeed, Boy'O...
Connor McGregor is a TOOL fan too. AWESOME!!
@@Hacker-rq9vo you'll do nuthin
Like with a lot of Tool fans, my favorite track changes from time to time, but Invincible is a masterpiece to me. I think just as I have gotten older, I can appreciate everything about it. It really hits home.
I'm 58 , same as Maynard- When he says " heavy shield down " and the beat gets heavy, i feel time bearing down.
Descending is next holy shit. I can’t wait
That second half instrumental is gonna blow his f-ing mind!
You can take the warrior out of the war but you can't take the war out of the warrior.
Be a warrior, not a worrier!
Invincible is without a doubt great, but Descending and 7empest are my favorites. I can't wait until you upload those for us!!!
I really connected with this song, at the time my dad had pretty advanced prostate cancer, it was a really emotionally taxing time for my entire family, this song was like a rock for me, the proud, defiant tone of a tough older man who knows where he's at, what's at stake, and chooses to arm himself, stand up and fight, to the end, regardless, it really helped me stay hopeful and positive, dad survived, and is now healthy again, and this song has a very special meaning to me, it's an amazing song outside of that, from an incredible comeback album 👌, great videos also 🤘
17:17 Ha, that pause gets the newbies every time! But I really LOVE the short guitar riff that comes in at 17:41, one of my favorites from Tool. Great song all around!
This was incredible hearing them perform this live 🔥
My favorite song of the album.
Same. I was ecstatic the first time I listened to it.
As weird as these interludes are, when you allow yourself to get into that higher dimensional mindstate(aided or not) they really do add a lot to the album in terms of the overall message and vibrational journey you undertake.
Definitely
I agree. Most of their interlude tracks or literally palate cleansers ya know?
Kinda resets youre head space and ears
Help!!! I've never heard this "interlude / Lead-up" to Invincible before! Why is it not on my F.I. CD?
invincible is my spirit animal
I love how decending grew on me over the last year. I can't think of any other music that does that to me. And I know it will continue to evolve as I do
I love that it grows on people. :) For myself personally, the first time I heard the studio version I had to pause for a good cry.
Can’t remember where I saw it, but Justin said he was pumped to do that bass solo. He said it was his Jimi Hendrix moment
What does Jimi Hendrix moment mean
@@fruhentus4437 I think he meant letting loose with some crazy effects on his solo, almost psychedelic. To me it’s got a similar sound to the intro guitar work Jimi did on House Burning Down.
Maybe it's just me but my favorite thing about Justin's solo is how much it reminds me of an Adam solo. Like they both know how to make the solo facilitate the overall Tool experience. It's a solo with true purpose.
The first time I heard this song I thought it was ok. I’ve woken up every morning since then with that beautiful baseline stuck in my head. It’s an ear worm! 🤣
I didn't love this one at first either, but it steadily grew on me to the point it's now one of my favorite Tool tracks.
This album (Fear Inoculum) just keeps giving and giving and giving....
"Tripping through, remember when."
Take some mushrooms or acid and listen again.
Psychedelics and Tool go together like an architectural drawing
You said you heard the sound of a marimba at the beginning. You may notice in the drum cam video, there is a curved keyboard above his symphonic gong. It's called a Marimba Lumina that's tied to a MIDI. It's programable with each strike zone being defined by each key. Danny plays it standing up with two large mallets. This is what you're hearing. There is a live version where you can see Danny playing it during this song. ✌🤘🤘
I'm on my way. I will watch them all. Tool Army.
Not only is the song about the uncertainty of their band coming back after so long but the structure of this song even mimics the band's history when it sounds like it ends and then RIPS one last time. That moment when you said "Is it over?" was a perfect analogy to how Tool fans were before this album released. Tool operates on another level. Pure genius! This video reaction was solid gold!!!
That bass tone...and that snare...
This song reminds me of the phrase, “I’m not as good as I once was, but I’m as good once as I ever was”.
Been waiting for this one!
Danny's open snare has such great overtones...mhmmm
Yea that fucking tone and ring is next level. Definitely gives you the war drum feel. Danny Carey is a grand master.
@@nicholasliacone hits from 11:20 onward til it returns to the chorus are chef’s kiss
Great song. Epic album. I look at this song literally. I was a Marine infantryman. I've been out for about ten years, and my biggest struggle in transitioning to civilian life is the simple fact that I will never be that "consequential" or dangerous again. Veterans struggle with letting go of that "warrior" mentality. You never forget your time in service. I still have that "invincible" mindset sometimes, but the truth is that I'm 46, and time is definitely bearing down on me. That's my opinion on what the songs about. The aging warrior. Missing his youth.
I think the meaning is found in the very last line: “feel the sting, feeling time bearing down.”
I think it’s about time, and how we spend our lives fighting it. So much that we don’t realize it’s passing. We begin as a warrior with our shield up going headfirst into the world but eventually that armor wears thin from the wounds we receive. We try to stay relevant, but instead of living in the now we look to the future or the past, not focusing on the present. Not focusing on actually living. We try to fool ourselves and seek things that we believe will bring us happiness and contentment, but these thing are a false hope. Perhaps. And in the end time catches up with us.
Remember, the band is in their 50s as and their og fans are too: 40s and 50s. This song hit me particular hard. It made me think of Time. And where it went. And how tired I am starting to feel: Worn out. All the false hopes I chased. And yet I still pick that shield up and press forward. Beating tired bones again. Weapon out and belly in.
Either Invincible or Descending is my fav song off this album and both are in my top tool songs. One is internal and the other is external, and represent exactly where I am right now and where the world seems to be.
Invincible is an incredibile masterpiece!
The weirdness between the actual music is the only thing I dont care for. Everything else they do is masterful.
Bass guitar solo in this one.
I believe this song is about growing old and realizing your mortality. We all feel invincible when we are young. Then one day you wake up and feel the weight of your life you have lived weighing down upon your soul. The realization that you have passed the halfway point, maybe a while ago is sobering. You look ahead to life, and then you look back at the life you have lived. I would go back if I could to live 1 day from my past.
This is a masterpiece of a song. Adam's guitar great as always. Danny doing what Danny does. Maynard sounds incredible. And when that bass comes in at 5:07. Amazing!!!!
The lyrics relate to them as a band forging ahead after 13 years, sure, but I think on a deeper, more universal level, it just applies to them (and me) as men growing older, struggling to remain relevant and not being left behind by the advancing younger generations, and realizing that it gets harder and harder to pull off the older you get. It's the constant search for De Leon's fabled Fountain of Youth, the retainment of a sense of youth and vitality that slips away with every passing year.
When I listen to invincible I can't help but think about my parents, who are getting up in years (68 & 74) and how they just don't have the strength/stamina to do things they could when I was growing up (once invincible, now the armors wearing thin, heavy shield down) specifically when my dad, who taught me how to work on cars, had trouble just putting a tire back on the studs... But that's the beauty of Tool, when I'm listening to them a movie about my life in some capacity plays in my mind...😁
Well said Barry. I think of a guy that lives or rather lived a way of life where he thought he was a badass. Thought he was invincible. He is coming to the stark realization that he is no longer that guy anymore and no amount of pretending to be that guy will make people believe his bs. Maybe he was never that guy at all. I know a few guys like this. Plus I’m in my early 50’s so I get it. Lol
You can call it an interlude, but I think its a sonic palette cleanser, done very purposefully.
Love tool to death but can’t stand the interludes on fear inoculum.
I dont mind the FI interludes really.. but if i have to hear Harry Manback tell me to die of cancer, or ions zapping into my brain one more time, so god help me xD
@@remixedddd1 harry manback, ions, die er von Satan I alwayyyyys skip. Never skip intermission into jimmy though.
@@NooDLES411911 yeah i rarely listen to die eier all way through either.. and still Ænima is such a sick album 🤘
@@remixedddd1 my neighbors are elderly, sometimes I'll just be jamming out to tool in my garage with the door open, then von Satan comes on and I can't help but think "what if they heard this right now?" They'd probably think I'm some weird Nazi.
This song paints such a fantastic in my head
Btw, I think Danny turns 60 today
@@The_Horse-leafs_Cabbage May 10th!
another great review. can't wait for your take on "Descending ". My favorite song on the album
That breakdown in the middle is so danceable I love it so much
Read thru a few reviews, saw it mentioned at least once. Urban I would love if you could comment from your musical background perspective a little more on this song, the different sounds evoked. I learned thru watching ALOT of tool reaction videos and a some live stuff for this song that the synth sounds are Danny Carey and that there is a sick Bass solo. Once I learned this and was able to listen while envisioning each member stepping in to 'Take It'... made this song so much more. Just my two cents and really appreciate you doing this Tool discography, what a journey and really appreciate your reactions. Keep it up Urban Shaman! Cheers.
Can’t wait to see how you react to the “infinity riff” 😂🙌🏼
lol which riff is that?
@@vanilla_milkshake see 7:40 of ‘Imvincible’ 😂
Or 13:09 when he gets "pummeled by the chug fest".
@@APEIRON_MUSIC I've never heard it called that
@@vanilla_milkshake that was the first thing that came to mind when I heard it when it came out. Haha
For what its worth, there seems to be two tracks in the playback, one is slightly off time which creates a very metallic flange sound to your audio playback.
13:12-15:15. Hard to find words to describe the weaving of sounds that touches the rhythm inside of me- that I didn’t even know was there.
Been looking forward to this one from you.
I always get a kick out of it, when a reactor hears that change over.😄👏🏻🤯. lol so cool
Can't wait to see you react to Adam Jones 'The Witness'.
The 7empest Awaits.
pnuema invincible and descending are my trifecta songs off the album just cant get enough of it. seeing it live is another level as well extremely talented musicians.
My fav song on the album
🦋 I'm happy to see that you are enjoying the music. Can't wait to see your reactions to 7empest & Descending. Music for me has never been the same since 93' when Tool dropped their 1st album. I can't go very long without listening to them between other music.
Descending awaits! Best track on the album IMO. Looking forward to it.
First solo - bass
Second solo = drums
Third solo = guitar
I know everyone looks at this song about their come back and making the new album and everything and I did too when it first came out, but after covid hit I started looking at it in a different light. My wife is a nurse and worked a lot with covid patients and it was a struggle for her just to find the courage to go to work, as I’m sure it was with all nurses that worked with covid patients. So this song makes me think of all the healthcare workers out there now. I think songs can evolve meaning to you as time goes on.
@dime4ever101 Just freaking wow. I never thought of it that way. As a healthcare provider who contracted it @ work, I certainly can relate to your interpretation. Thanks man. ❤
I want your rug/blanket in the background!
Looks very cool,
yea, alternate ideas is that is applicable about just anything in this world that has experienced the peek of its success or something alike and now has "fall from grace". Be what you may, a singer, a construction worker, a parent a son/daughter, your ability to emote is not as good as it was, etc. But even with all the chinks in our armour, a warrior never gives up, despite all the struggles he/she may encounter, a true "warrior" never gives up.
This song always makes me smile
Its gotta be said
Your beard is making this video uniquely shine
I’m a male escort
It sounds like there's a chorus effect or something on the music audio. Was that how it sounded when you heard the song while recording, or was that something you added afterward for copyright protection or something? I don't mind it, but I want to know if you heard the music in it's original production.
I’ve noticed this before and mentioned it to him. I think he needs to adjust something in the way he records this. It’s not intentional
Yeah it’s not intentional, it happens from recording in OBS (a screen capture app), I haven’t found a way to avoid it yet. It’s not that way when I first hear it
Phase issue likely
I like your take and snicker at certain sections .
Ol Maynard love having 2-3 meanings to his lyrics
Those Tones Though!
Once you finish Tool, the GOAT, check out Opeth. 🙏🤘
First 4 Mastodon albums too
This has been my favorite from this album, along with danny careys drum cam
You should react to Legion Inoculant and Descending at the same time.
the "synth" is actually Justin's bass
Ok hear me out...Tool likes to write random songs about weird shit so thinking outside the box like they do, my theory is that this song is about the comeback and failure of the old school wrestler "The Ultimate Warrior" and his past carrier and his attempted comeback a few yrs ago with Sting and he lost. If you know about him just really think about it and how it all fits together, hell the song practically describes him. 😏
I love this song but share your same opinion on the FX on Maynard's voice during the "Ponce De Leon" part. They were doing this live far before the studio version was out and I was jarred the first time I heard it that way. Really would have preferred just Maynard's natural voice.
Descending, boyeeeee!
After Tool, you must, and I say must, give The Mars Volta a try. Please. Thx.
Invincible is my favorite off the album
15:18 - And that riff will "haunt" you.. (in a good way .. it is an earworm...)
Luckily it is a good riff in a good song! :D
Man ... internet ... 20 years ago .. none of this was possible..
I feel so happy that I am able to see people to react to songs that I like "live"..
Maybe I'm going crazy but there is some kind of audio effect when i listen to tool songs on your channel. The song here today was especially distorted
Love the reactions, but its like I'm listening to the song through a tin can
It's phasing... when two exact same sounds or tones are recorded at the same time but slightly out of phase with each other. It was driving me crazy. I scanned the comments to see if anyone else noticed!!
Dude....really hate that you kinda disappeared 8 months ago. Really enjoyed you Tool Reactions. Hope all is OK with ya.
I think there's some slight chorus/phasing effect happening... not sure why but it's a little distracting! Seems to be only on the Fear Inoculum portion of you reactions. I've watched all of your run through so far. Great stuff mate.
Took me 1 min to get here cuz I was watching a reaction to Hoosier, take me to church..can't end that early...
Some of Maynard's best vocals on invincible
This tune is "All time Shit"
Look forward to Descending (my fav)
wow, how quickly
Yes!!!!
That first track does strange things to my ears
7empest awaits.
Was that a theremin I wonder for the first song?
No it’s simply bass and guitar playing with their volume and synced up slightly off of each other.
There’s something wrong with the audio again.
Damn, I’m gonna look into other applications or maybe a different setting or something
@@urbanshamanproductions9092 Definitely something wrong. Maybe some phasing issue caused by having two outputs playing at the same time?
@@RuneGamborg yeah I use OBS to capture multiple audio sources and it’s either that or corruption of audio when rendering
My new favourite.....
great video
A question for any tool fan..... What is your favorite tool song? In my opinion, if you're a true tool fan and have been for a long time (since about 1992-1993 myself) you can not possibly have 1 favorite tool song. I can't even have 1 favorite tool album. They are all legendary masterpieces in their own right
Tool should make their own version of Bring the Noise by Anthrax
this bad is SICK!
From 1 to 10 , where do u think ur personality stands?? I'm barely on a 2 with u
Very tribal sounding song! American indian sound to it.
