It’s been great watching your reactions to Tool! These last 2 songs are ones that get passed up by people. Fear Inculum was used by the band to opening many of their recents concerts. And Culling Voices holds its own against all the other great tracks on this album! The other 3 are great pallet-cleansing for your ears to get ready for the tracks that they proceeds. Can’t wait to see what Tool song/album you tackle next! Spiral Out 🤙🏻
And that bass line on Culling Voices is bad ass too. Not sure if you know but if you fold the “Tool” icon at the top of the album in half left to right it is a syringe. Inoculated. 👍🏻
There’s basically 5 songs and a drum solo on this album. But it’s a hell of a lot of good music for 5 songs. Also I’m of the personal opinion that you already did the best songs on the album
@@a_a_orlov I just don’t consider Chocolate chip trip to be an actual song. A track maybe. It’s just an opportunity for Danny to show off all the stuff we already know he can do. I feel the same about all instrumentals. Doesn’t mean I don’t like it. Fuck never mind. My basic counting skills are off. 6 it is.
FI and basically all the fills. Legion Inoculant in the car with the sound at 11 is awesome. Vibrations make you feel that one. It’s just Tool. Unique af. To me… to me… the most prog album they released was Lateralus. Start to finish it’s exceptional. Title track using the Fibonacci Sequence with the lyrics. Amazing stuff. Love the OF1920 and the reactions. At some point I’d love to see Pushit album version then Pushit Salival version. ✌🏻✌🏻
There's no accounting for taste. This is exactly how I feel about 98% of popular music. There's no payoff, because the content has no substance. The songs could be 2 minutes or 20 minutes, and they would still suck, because the artist doesn't have anything important to say. Tool is the antithesis of this. There is no form without content and intent. Drill down on the lyrics a bit, and you might change your tune. Or, if, to You, music is simply a way to shut your brain off and hum a quick tune, Tool probably isn't for you.
@@GimmeJimmy23 Firstly, I'm not a pop listener, I listen to many different subgenres of metal including other prog bands. Tool has some songs that I enjoy and listen to frequently but their longer songs feel way too bloated and repetitive. For me if you are going to write a long song you need to include lots of different timbres, engaging melodic lines and contrasting sections along with other things. Every song on Fear Inoculum are slow burns but they never really change in terms of feel. I actually think the track "Pneuma" is the biggest offender regarding the lack of payoff. It is an 11+ minute track that could achieve the same thing if it was a standard 4 minute rock song. They go through an incredibly long build up just to return to the same chorus. As for lyics I'm not really interested much in poetry, I would rather listen to engaging melodies and harmonies which is not Tool's strongest suit. For how much praise the band gets as being incredibly intellectual it doesn't make me feel much and I've listened to their whole discography.

@@a_a_orlov I get it. I wasn’t being sarcastic. I was literally admitting that my count was off.

Half of these are just intros to other tracks.
I just don't understand why Tool is so appealing. To me it sounds like 10+ minute slow repetitive build ups which lead nowhere.
