They took their time and it was worth the wait
I'm very glad I didn't have to wait haha :)
@@urbanshamanproductions9092 you'll have to, too. for the next one (hahahah haaaaa haahahaha aaahahhaahaha *evillaughterimitation*) ;)
@@metalhos Danny has said multiple times that they are too old to do that again. He said expect the next one to happen much faster.
@@saadesigner07 hey, it was a joke ;)
@@metalhos he gonna lose it.
This whole album in my opinion is the pinnacle of Tool. So mature and complex and melodic at the same time. The production and engineering on this album is unmatched. Never gets old
I'm with you. Saw them live at a club in the early 90s, been a dedicated fan since. This is the pinnacle.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, naturally. But it chaps my ass that people give the album a side eye due to there being no screaming.
Yeah the engineering stood out to me immediately, it just sounds so good
Do the studio version of pneuma first THEN do the drum cam version. Trust me.
Yes! Do studio version!!! Live version video after you’ve heard all of the album.
Agreed!
I concur.
Yes
This
Not going to lie, I fucking cried the first time I heard this after thirteen years.
this album makes me cry continuously, mostly w/ 7emptest
Descending has become my favorite, but all the full tracks on this album are golden
Descending is special🔥
No way to describe what this was like after waiting 13 years
Seriously. I tear up every time I hear the beginning of this song, cuz the first time I listened it made me cry.
I cried
Tool could never live up to the hype after so many years. Which blew me away even more when they exceeded my wildest expectations!
This album. I could write a book about how influential it has been for me. It blew my brain out the back of my head, rearranged my synapses into a more useful pattern, and added some new stuff that I didn't even realize I was missing. I know the pieces fit.
That tai chi explanation, WOW. It is scary how accurate that is, they really arent conventional when it comes to their grooves. But boy oh boy if it doesnt get you moving up and down side to side and all over. Excellent reaction to an excellent song! Also you are gonna loooooooose it at Invincible.
When I saw them in OCT 2019, I took some shrooms for the night. As soon as they started playing, I got up from my chair immediately and didn’t stop “moving” to the music (as well as head banging). The guy behind me was mad at me the whole time, but I sure as hell am not about to just sit there while TOOL is playing. I can do that at home.
@@concertino58 shieeeet I can't even sit still at home. Especially when the patient comes on 😤
I expect to see his brain melt listening to Descending for the first time. That song is absolutely mind blowing with some good quality headphones.
@@concertino58 That sucks dude behind you wasn't on your level. I understand that the disabled, injured, and elderly may want to take a seat, but they need their own accessible sections or somethin', cuz I know you didn't throw a couple hundred down to sit all night!
I like how Maynard says "mitosis" at the midway point of the song.
I'm glad you've enjoyed this!!
Divide it _right in two_
@@victor_. once FI shifts from 4/4 to 11/8, I'm immediately brought back to the feel of Right in Two, which was also in 11/8.
Whoa
Urban Shaman it's definitely bitter sweet that you've arrived at the final LP. At least you have two incredible discographies to look forward to. Maynard's A PERFECT CIRCLE and PUSCIFER. Looking forward to watching you go down those rabbit holes. ✌🤞
Imagine waiting THIRTEEN years for a new album. We waited forever lol
13 years. Your comment was 13 hours ago. There's me and you, which is 2. 13/2=6.5. 6.5 years separates me and my cousins age. Age has 3 letters. 6.5/3=2.16. New TOOL album in 2.16 years confirmed.
The last few years were the worst too, cause there was always some new announcement that it was "right around the corner"... and the wait continued
This is an album of all 'epic songs' !! Tool's most mature album. All the real songs are the long ones, short ones are just intros/transitions (except chocolate chip one which is instrumental song)
You’re going to love this record. Instant classic
This is my favorite song off this album. I think it checks off every box I'd have for what works for me musically. Mind you, I think ALL the songs on this album are great. And any of them could be someone's favorite, but this is the one I return to the most.
If you like this song, just wait until you hear Invincible, Pneuma, Descending and 7empest.
you mean, all the other songs on the album? xD
@@felixwalpole8206 pretty much, yeah...
Don't forget Culling Voices
Those are my favorite 4 also. Descending, Pneuma, Invincible then 7empest. For me personally. But they always show their genius in all 4 of them. Personally, Danny Carey is worth watching any day and twice on Sunday. But together and individually, they are all amazing artists and from what I gather, from interviews and gossip is that they are humble, yet strong in their convictions and care about everyone and everything. They are so unique and probably even misunderstood. I’ve been a fan since high school early 90’s. Seen them live many many many times. Fear Inoculum is more of an idealistic word play while setting a specific tone. I think, it will blow his mind when he hears one and all of the album. Also, agree, listen to album of Pneuma then watch live drum cam by Vic Firth of the song Pneuma. Anyways, sorry long comment. Just a fan and enjoy hearing you all. Hope everyone enjoys and is kind to one another.
He has to listen to the whole album at one shot that would be nuts
You just got me to want to check out thai chi.
Ive found I'm moving in very unique "tool ways" when listening to them that I don't get with other music, even if I tried.
Thank you for that.
May I suggest CCTrip and 7empest be played back to back? CC really gets you hyped up for what's about to happen, and also happens to be one of the best drum solos ever.
Buckle up my friend. You about to enjoy a taste of musical genius! If they ever make another album all of our brains will explode from not being able to comprehend the excellence!
They are supposedly toying with the notion of releasing a new live album sometime this year.
After you do Pneuma , do the live Danny drum version after !! It will blow you away !! And the whole album is Epic !
Yes I agree
Seconded. Danny is truly super human. I've learned so much listening to his drumming.
@@Codeaholic1 all I've learned is I'll never be able to play drums, let alone at his level.
Your "rant" was spot on and intriguing~ I do recommend you to watch some tool shows from the mid 90's on your own and see how Maynard lets the music move him around
Each record they outdo their previous. I've been waiting for this moment, seeing your reaction to this album. It only gets better from here.
As good as this song is, there are 4 songs on this album that are even better.
Disagree. But there are 4 other songs that are also great.
Dude. Seeing how you dig this song from the get-go gives me the Tool-chills like I’m experiencing it all over again for the first time. You clearly get it. Tool is an experience, and you are here for it. Spiral out!!
Those little colour artifacts in your video are so good, never fix that
Saw them live in Atlanta last year and they opened with this. Seeing it live gave me a new appreciation of this song. If you like the album version, it’s even better live.
It's crazy to realize that this song came out right before the pandemic... considering the lyrics I mean...
August of 19'.....like 6 mos before covid..eerie right...
I ‘heard’ this one as a play on fake news, perhaps even Facebook. Being better than eating what you are fed incessantly. Now on the topic of the pandemic, Descending was hitting for me in that way. It’s elementary, muster every fiber, mobilize, Stay Alive!
I absolutely relate to your “long and obscure rant”!!
Got to listen to this album for the first time under the influence of LSD with my friends on release day. What an experience
For sure! Hell, It still is every time I listen to it on LSD. I had my biggest trip of all time by doing a heroic dose then letting this album launch me into my mind, the true purpose of some of these songs are going to remain hidden for a long time.
I feel every word you said. And when I first heard this... well, I couldn't stop listening to it, and started thinking it was one of their best songs. Then.. I heard the rest of the album. :)
can't wait to hear this album on vinyl.
I’m almost jealous, (but super pumped for you) that you’re hearing this for the first time! I stayed up to catch the release on Spotify and had a great night listening to the album. Love the videos dude!
The lyrics basically make the song a ritual innocclation against fear. He's bolstering his confidence against fear.
Very cool reaction, as always. Excited for “Pneuma” next Toolsday. Hope you have the opportunity to “experience” them live in the future...
Love your "long rant" towards the back half of the video. I've felt that movement of energy many times and feel it strongly with Tool songs. If I allow myself to sink into the music enough I find myself almost spinning as different parts of my body move in different timings and rhythms. Love that bit of analysis my guy!
I'm 54 years old and have listened to Tool for 30 years, while the long hiatus took place I longed for new Tool and was concerned that it would never be the same, that the light they had captured may have faded, that they may have changed as men, I mean 13 years is a long time and literally almost 30 years after they started.....but BOOM.......this album is thee masterpiece we all waited for, they are without a doubt the most cerebral and thought out band ever, Maynard is truly the greatest lyricist of all time, and how poignant the lyrics to this song became in 2020....they opened with this on the ensuing tour and then the fear, venom and mania shut it and everything down....and as the world inoculates from Covid....Maynard had already inoculated from fear, venom and mania.......what a wise man, the production is insane, and 59 year old Danny Carey takes no prisoners....that sound you were describing as a harp or the plucking sound is actually Danny on his electronic pads.......this has been a great journey with you and we are all so glad you found Tool....enjoy this album brother
I feel you on the body movement! If you're gonna groove to Tool, you gotta be adaptive. The change in signatures is what defines them... I agree with the other comments, listen to Pneuma, then watch Danny drum it!!
Followed you through the journey. Happy you have arrived at the last album. All tool albums represent a position within the life of a character. This album is the aspirational future for the spiritually awakened being. The whole world will open once we recognize that we are all one.
I AM SO HAPPY WE ARE HERE AT FEAR INOCULUM!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
....oh my gosh I can't wait for you to hear 'Descending'
Beautiful album, amazing production... probably best album of the year! I think I'm on my hundredth listening...
Descending is so cool. I bought this album last year and could not stop listening to it for months. TOOL is amazing!
I think it's great when you add your thoughts and feelings. No way would I skip through it.
My favorites on this album are Descending, 7empest, and Invincible.
I like Pneuma too, but I've watched the Danny drum cam reactions to it so much that I'm kind of burnt out on it. However, I do hope you do that one too. I'll definitely be here for it!
You took the words right out of my mouth!
@@sharilynbratton6476 🙂
@@floridabelle Hey, are you getting back to full fitness now? x
@@ameliacharles7119 The breaks have regenerated completely. There's a lot of discomfort still though with walking/standing on my feet too long and swelling. Compression socks were advised, so I'm trying that for my foot.
The shoulder break has also regenerated, but I don't have full range of motion yet, and have a lot of pain. Dr. said that could still take a while to recover. Must be my age along with arthritis that's getting in the way. I am though, acting as if I'm back to normal with chores, etc. I don't like being held back. 😁
It was so kind of you to ask. Thank you. ❤️
I can totally relate to your views on movement and rhythm! 100%. Great reaction and one of my favorites of Tool as well!
Your comparisons to Tai Chi and The rhythms of the music are spot-on. I guess that's why I find myself doing Tai Chi like dance moves when listening to the Fear Inoculum songs. I dont know exactly where they come from but it definitely feels like some very sacred place...
Also after pneuma, danny drum cam live of pneuma.. yeet
And omg..PUSCIFER is the middle for you, my friend! ...everything you just said in this video.
"Bullet Train to Iowa"
Incredible album. Up there with their bests, Totally loved your rant in the middle lol. Wasn't a rant, totally makes sense and totally get it. Thanks for going deep and sharing your thoughts. You're gonna love the entire album. Cheers!
The theme of this whole album struck me as about their fears of coming back 13 years later and still being relevant or successful or whatever myriad of inflictions we as humans can suffer from that lowers our self confidence. Sure seems like this first song on the album inoculated them from their fears the rest of it. This song coming out not long before the pandemic also made it feel a bit prophetic to me.
I have a feeling you're gonna love this album......definitely keep an ear on the drums, they're exceptional on this album, even by Carey standards
Also your “rant” is exactly what we know to be true. Feeling music through our physical bodies, especially when they aren’t what we predict and instead suggest to us a different route (one closer to connection with ourselves and inherently all that surrounds us), is exactly what Tool is about.
Insert classic Tool fan comment joke here.
I can't wait for the rest ! This album it's History. TOOL catch the listeners
Not even glad you liked it, knew you would based on every other vid. This was such a perfect fit for an album opening, set the tone without showing off all the tricks the album employed. Is it next Tuesday yet?
Not skipping...go for it man, talk your talk. This album gonna blow your mind, based on your react so far😆👏🏻👏🏻.
Movement within a Tool song is really good, the different rhythms makes you want to move different body parts like the shoulders and the hips at the different rhythms but it’s the same.
My mom was a big Tool fan. She would always ask me for updates on the new album. Unfortunately, she didn't make it to the next album. She would have loved it, because Lateralus was her favorite.
Oof. That hits hard. 💚
Sorry to hear. Carry on her Tool fandum legacy. They’re amazing and I’m positive so was your mom. Be kind to yourself and best wishes. Hopefully this Album will help you feel her and enjoy it together. Peace and love.
Amazing reaction 1st timer never gets old watching him watch this.
The intro is actually just Adam Jones on the guitar with a volume pedal, its pretty awesome.
going back into this with fresh ears, as well! 🤘🏻
Can't wait for descending
Glad to see someone enjoy Tool as much as I do
When you listen to Invincible hear it in the context of them (a hugely popular band) releasing an album after a break of 13 years. The song is the ultimate metaphor for their state of mind. A once great warrior "...struggling to remain consequential". They must have been concerned that maybe the world moved on and they wouldn't be relevant anymore. Well, now we all know that couldn't be farther from the truth with this album. They are more than relevant, they are literally setting the bar so high that others are now becoming irrelevant. They are the epitome of the quote "Beware the old man in a profession where men usually die young." Love this band!!!!!!
Thanks for doing these videos. I’ve been listening to tool since 1993, so to experience them “new” through another listener is invaluable.
You picked up right away on the quality of sound on this album...it’s the sound I kind of hoped they would eventually arrive to..And they did!
So much awesomeness coming your way! Descending one of the best songs ever recorded :) Get your pipe out dude!
So happy you're onto this record, my friend. Enjoy!
I can't believe I'm hyped for a reaction video but I'm truly looking forward to your reaction of Pneuma. I'll be burning some tree for that one.
This album is phenomenal! Good reaction.
Pneuma is next!! Please do the live version, so you'll see Danny's magic drum
After not before...
Your obscure rant was most exelent and right on the money
I know EXACTLY what your movement comment is about. I grew up playing music (Trumpet, French Horn, and drums) with some singing sprinkled in there. Like you, I'm catching on to the different instrument rhythms b going simultaneously, and like most drum players, our body FEELS the different parts -- and once you catch one you feel the one that doesn't match and your body is looking to express that other thing that eventually cycles back.
I rambled too, but I hear you, brother.
Fun fact, he sings mitosis exactly in the middle of the song, as in when a cell splits in two.
CAN. NOT. WAIT for you to do Descending. Jw on the floor first time I heard it....which was on a Periscope video, live at its debut. The reddit community was there. And we were spoiled.
Dude, thank you for your dedication. Welcome to the TOOL family!
Great reference to Tai-chi and rhythm
He says mitosis at the exact halfway point of the song. 🤯🤯🤯
Yeah. This will be your favorite album. We all enjoyed the rant!
Fear Inoculum's chorus is my theme tune.
You're gonna love the whole album, it's an instant classic. Not a bad track on the album.
8 of those years were tied up in legal crap. They made great use of it, though. This is simply the introduction of what’s to come. Happy you’re digging it! Each track is an eargasm. 😇
I've been listening to this album since it came out, probably heard it over a couple hundred times now lol. My ranking of the songs goes 1) Invincible 2) Descending 3) Pneuma 4) 7empest 5) Culling Voices 6) Fear Inoculum 7) CCT. I will also say there isn't one song I don't like, they are all 10/10.
For some reason, when you talked about pop/rock songs with a good balance between catchiness and interesting drum patterns, one of my favorite examples came to mind: Rubber Mallet by Alien Ant Farm.
Apples and oranges compared to Tool, but still so good.
On the last lap of the Tool marathon. Thanks for sharing this journey with us. I had mixed feelings about FI when it was first released but its grown on me over the last year and a half or so.
i approve this reaction. love it man.:)
I highly recommend watching the drum cam video of Pneuma on Vic Firth’s channel. Truly amazing.
Pump up the jam pump it up yo pump it!!
Check out Primus! They are Catchy, interesting, weird, rhythmically awesome and intricate. I think the Anti-Pop album is a good place to start but Sailing the Seas of Cheese is fantastic!
That's sick that you practice Tai Chi. It's intrigued me for years. I want to hear more about you!
Your Tai Chi and rhythm tangent (I wouldn't consider it a rant)... It reminds me of a concept found in certain realms of quantum physics... How the essence of matter and certain fundamental forces could potentially be broken down to a set of rhythms or frequencies in the fabric of space-time (vibrations might be a better term, as "frequencies" has been coopted by some... Less than reputable circles).
This is just the science loving nerd in me speaking, tho I do enjoy pondering certain philosophical concepts (the idea of Brahman, and the notion that nothing in the Universe is separate from the Universe, are two concepts that spring to mind)
Sounds like your editing software couldn’t quite handle the epicness xD
(during "rant")
I felt you're saying a continuation of energy expression through kinetics.
Really appreciate your reactions/thoughts man, and great job explaining your experience of the music. I'd be interested to hear some of your recommendations if you get round to it - I'm probably fairly similar in that I love complicated rhythms and technically interesting music, but I'm also a total sucker for a good hook/melody. Combine those things and I'm sold 👌
There are some great tracks on this album. 🤘
Re your comment toward the end: The last several Thy Catafalque albums also do a great job of riding the line between experimental and catchy. Some fantastic riff writing there.
Also I always think of it as "Tool has 'groove'"
Enjoyed the thought about movement. Thanks.
Your in for an amazing time on this album
Cant wait for the next one!
I have a reccomendation, after finishing this album, watch the video called "the mysteries of fear inoculum"
should just do the 7 track version, the extra three tracks were only put on digital not the official cd release
agreed! The physical version is much better, the added interludes on the digital version don't really contribute anything to the album
He’s done all the other strange tracks so he might as well do these too.
What an album.
Always love me some super-Maynardy lyrics. Great reaction.
i think the coincidental architecture is quite amazing vis a vis fear inoculum and covid-19. not only the lyrics, but also the mandala that alex grey designed for the cd, which resembles the CDC's visualization of the virus in color, gestalt, and geometric detail. alex previously captured a precognitive trace of the destruction of the twin towers in his gaia painting. carl jung said, "all art intuitively apprehends coming changes in the collective unconscious," and i think the evidence for this is basically everywhere, often hiding in plain sight. also this album rules
