Excited to check out another track from TOOL’s new album! You guys said this one was absolutely necessary, so here we are! You guys want older or more newer Tool for the next time we come around to them?! Let us know down below!! Cheers guys! 🔥🤟🏻
Older Tool please guys. Don't get me wrong, I love the new Album but there's so much to explore in the previous albums. may I suggest "Right in two". Keep up the good work. Love your reaction videos
Of the people I know and several reactions, many people are torn between Invincible and Pneuma as the best songs. I go back and forth myself. I saw a comment from a guy the other day that said basically my favorite Tool song is whichever one I just listened to. The transitions in Invincible are epic to me.
@@user-pr3ft6gp8t The last 4 minutes or so are some of the best Tool has to offer. I mean, I like the entire thing, the lyrics and the slow build up. But for people who just want "how intense can Tool get" yeah, its the last 4 - 5 minutes of that song or so.
lots of criticism initially with this album but its not the 90’s anymore folks. Great track, great new modern mature TOOL. The more I listen the more I dig it. 9.5+. Have you reviewed“Right in Two” yet? Dewwwitt 😎
Justin Chancellor's bass work never gets enough credit from most reactors. It's instrumental (no pun intended) to their sound and is always phenomenal. And for what it is worth, Descending is the best track on the new album in my personal opinion.
Gotta check out the Danny Carey drum iso video of a concert playing this song. it will blow your mind. As a drummer, that was the moment I conceded the torch had been passed from Neal Peart to Carey as the Greatest Drummer Alive.
I am partial to "Descending" on this album, but I am also really into "Culling Voices" as an underrated track on the album. Also, if you truly want to get "lost in the sauce," you have to check out Disposition/Reflection/Triad from Lateralus. 22 minutes of pure bliss.
Yeah, except probably for the guitars on Descending. In certain parts from the 7:00 mark, there is too much fuzz and amplification on Jones guitar on the album version to my mind. The notes lack the simplicity and sharpness heard on the original live versions first played back in May or so. The music is great, but that section seems over produced to me. The bass and drum recordings are spot on though.
@@andrewlockett4569 That's interesting. I'll have to listen to it again to know what you mean. My favorite tracks are Pneuma and Invincible. There's one thing I don't like about the new album, and that's the shrill ping noise in the beginning of the Fear Inoculum track. I'm sensitive to that kind of pitch so I have to skip the intro.
Every Tool song is mind altering and soul stretching in one way or another. They are an inner experience of high frequency and unique for each indivudual. You get what you need and still so much more is always offered. Take another step...and continue to spiral out!
I have to thank you guys. You're playing stuff I really like. I'm an old sound guy from the 70's and I love listening to well mixed music. Thank you guys!
We need some Andy & Alex emojis! At times you both have very emotive facial expressions. As for Tool, they have become background music for me. I enjoy them more if I don't concentrate on the music and just let it flow around me. I'm always interested in analyzing their lyrics though. Great video, guys! Have a safe and joyful New Year's Eve.
Please react to porcupine tree - anesthetize live in tilburg. They are one of the best band ever and gavin Harrison is on par with Danny for me. You will have a blast listening that song
Pneuma is their masterpiece I have seen them three times in concert . Every album has that one song , even though all of them are badass there is that one song that is just freaking awesome on each album.
Tool is a group that you have to sit and listen without interruption. Sure you can play in the background, but you'll under-appreciate the minutia of their work. What these 2 guys did here is the right way to experience/appreciate their work.
In one interview Danny Carey said it takes him 2 weeks to build up all drums for an album, Justin spends about 2 months and Adam needs about half a year for all his guitar drawings
Love you guys...it's cool watching you discover great music and the emotions they bring. I know you have delved into Yes a bit. I believe you guys have reacted to "Roundabout", a good song and "Owner of a Lonely Heart" from later in the bands career and IMO not the best example of what made Yes as well thought of as they have come to be. Next time you go back to Yes I recommend the epic "Close to the Edge" or if you want something a bit less lengthy perhaps "Siberian Khatru". Also another Prog rock band that I do not recall you listening too is Emerson, Lake and Palmer. ELP was, along with Pink Floyd and Yes, at the lead of prog rock movement in the early 70's. For ELP I would suggest starting with "The Barbarian" from 1970 and then maybe something like "Toccata" from 1973. They are both instrumentals but really do show off the skill of the band, namely Keith Emerson's keyboards and Carl Palmer's drums. If you want to go for the gusto try "Tarkus" which also features Greg Lake's vocals.
Good reaction! My favorite Tool song right now....just because they are more evolved spiritually and musically ....yes I agree...you have to somehow let go the older stuff because we are at different stage in life.
To round out the 70s' material, I think you guys should check into BTO - Bachman Turner Overdrive, and Bob Seger (+). Also if you return to Heart, do Barracuda.
What Alex said about not wanting old Tool in 2019 and wanting new Tool makes me wonder, why is it that no matter how many times bands write new music throughout the years, it's always the older songs that are popular with fans? Anyways, great song! I love the lyrics, "We are born of one breath, one word. We are all one spark, eyes full of wonder." I think it's so deep and I love the identity this band has established for themselves: great, meaningful songs, with big production, and changing tempos. Forgive me if I'm wrong, that is just the vibe I get from Tool. The bass riff was really catchy and stood out to me throughout the whole song and I loved the bongos, I thought that was an excellent idea. Because I played percussion in my high school concert and marching band, I love how experimental they are with the percussion instruments! With that being said, great reaction video and have a good one Andy and Alex! :)
Happy New year guys. Thanks for the entertainment in 2019. Great to see your channel grow from this time last year. Back then it was just Andy, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and one or two others. Looking forward to another 150 or so reactions over the coming year. Best wishes from Burniston, UK.
If I don't hear this song everyday, then I'm too sick to get out of bed. Wait!, I take that back my husband could play it for me. I was worried there for a minute. can't wait to see Tool downunder in Melbourne Feb.22, my life is leading to this.
First time hearing this track. I love the complicated rythmn that messes me up and it all comes together when the section is over. That's what made me fall in love with this band way back when in the olden days. LoL 😆 🤙
What was that at the begining, did they record my kitchen sink dripping? 😳 Very good indeed! Background music? Noo! Elevator music? Noo! 🤔 It's more like the sounds of the pipes and creaks of a haunted apartment building coming alive. 🤗
picture this if you will: two college guys finally getting around to FI reviews. It really doesn't matter which song you picked to review..it's ALL GOOD!! Happy listening... p.s. loving the long locks cause they scream "ROCK!"
Tool is in a class all by itself. There is no other band that compares...maybe a little of A Perfect Circle is close because it is of the same origin but a little lighter in its delivery. I am a 63 year old woman, but I was introduced to many bands during the time my son was playing rock during his teenage years. He was a hardcore metal musician, so I heard all of the heavy hitters and I learned to appreciate some of the standouts...tool being one of them and IMO the best. They just take it to a whole other level.
I'm so happy and relieved that you like this one, and like it a lot. When the new album was released it seemed like some people were put off because it sounded different. They didn't seem to get that people, musicians, bands evolve and grow. I guess you either grow with them or you don't. Thirteen years is a long time, of course it's going to be a bit different. I'm really glad you get it. Next up Invincible. Soon?
I like Invincible better, it just resonates more with me; I never get tired of it, whereas I have to be in a certain mood to really feel like listening to Pneuma (which is a perfectly good song, don't get me wrong; it's just my current state of mind that draws me more to Invincible.) Oh, and I meant to add Descending, I think I would put it very close to Invincible and yes, ahead of Pneuma. Poor Pneuma.
Look up a video called TOOL making Fear Inoculum. I think in that interview with one of the engineers they said that for some of it there was a period of 3 or 4 years coming into the studio mon through thursday 8 hrs a day and working on it... It was just that intense... the UA-camr who uploaded the interview is named Cosmic Dawn.
A&A - You've been guiding me and thank you - 10 for me. This flowed into ears in all the right ways. No anxiety! lol Bluesy underpinnings... Seductive quality to it?? It *IS* impeccable & a "keeper" for me. Loved this & reaction. Wow.... Great way to start the week fellas. Have a fantastic day! :)
@@andyandalex Indeed! And, yes... Perfect start to day. I know I'll be revisiting this track again & again. Playlist song! Have feeling this new album is probably all 10's. :) Later!
Nah bro. Culling Voices is amazing , not knocking it, but it's way weaker than Pneuma for a lot of reasons. Pneuma just checks everything off the list. Everything. And like most tool songs, it takes you on many different experience as you interpretation changes with the complexity the song. That being said Culling Voices doesn't have that. It's so obviously Maynard talking about the BS sexual assault allegation. Idk throws me for a loop
Excited to check out another track from TOOL’s new album! You guys said this one was absolutely necessary, so here we are! You guys want older or more newer Tool for the next time we come around to them?! Let us know down below!! Cheers guys! 🔥🤟🏻
Andy & Alex Have you done H. yet? or for something different try close to the edge by yes!
Invincible!
Really you can't go wrong with the tracks from FI
older tool
Older Tool please guys. Don't get me wrong, I love the new Album but there's so much to explore in the previous albums. may I suggest "Right in two". Keep up the good work. Love your reaction videos
I'm along for this ride, so TOOL fans keep suggesting these gems. I'm loving the journey! :)
Remember: Any Tool song you don't do is YOUR loss.
well put my friend!
I literally died laughing when I saw this comment..
This tore my face off live. Still recovering. I may never.
This song is the ultimate peak of music in our time...
This is their masterpiece, in my opinion. Just brilliant musicianship.
I vote 'Descending' next, though 'Invincible' is right there...
I haven't heard all the new tracks yet, but I can't argue with that ranking. Pneuma is indeed a masterpiece!
Yeah. All about Descending but it is definitely close with Invincible.
IMO this song is their Masterpiece! Just absolute perfection.
Personally, Invincible is my favorite on this album!
Mine too dude
I keep waiting for my favorite to change again, but Invincible has held the top for a couple of months now.
I keep going between this and Invincible. Can't believe the guys pulled this level of quality off again.
I went from 7empest to invincible to pnema and now it's descending
Mine changes. Im Culling voices now.
Just admit it every Tool song is a perfect 10. you should review their entire catalog
This track is incredible. A journey that no other band other than Tool can create.
33/8 time signature makes us look drunk when we try to head Bob!
Of the people I know and several reactions, many people are torn between Invincible and Pneuma as the best songs. I go back and forth myself. I saw a comment from a guy the other day that said basically my favorite Tool song is whichever one I just listened to. The transitions in Invincible are epic to me.
This song is amazing, but to me, Descending is THE masterpiece of the record and top 5 of all their songs.
hell yes it is. It took a minute to grow on me then BOOM.
@@user-pr3ft6gp8t The last 4 minutes or so are some of the best Tool has to offer. I mean, I like the entire thing, the lyrics and the slow build up. But for people who just want "how intense can Tool get" yeah, its the last 4 - 5 minutes of that song or so.
Agree 100%. Descending is the best song.
The engineering of this LP deserves a Grammy.
lots of criticism initially with this album but its not the 90’s anymore folks. Great track, great new modern mature TOOL. The more I listen the more I dig it. 9.5+.
Have you reviewed“Right in Two” yet? Dewwwitt 😎
i thought it was a solid 7.5, but its biggest problem is being lumped with solid 10 and 9 in Tool's catalog, still a solid effort though !
do 'invincible' next
also -- danny carey is the gestalt lovechild of john bonham and neil peart
Totally how I would describe him also! Technically insane and swings heavy!
Throw some Copeland in there = Danny Carey
Pretty sure some octopus is in the mix.
Justin Chancellor's bass work never gets enough credit from most reactors. It's instrumental (no pun intended) to their sound and is always phenomenal.
And for what it is worth, Descending is the best track on the new album in my personal opinion.
I heard he auditioned for TOOL with the diff for 46 and 2. So sickening!
Invincible next, then descending
Descending, culling voices and Invincible. Have fun.
Be sure to check out Danny Carrey playing this live to see a Master of Sauce in action.
Gotta check out the Danny Carey drum iso video of a concert playing this song. it will blow your mind. As a drummer, that was the moment I conceded the torch had been passed from Neal Peart to Carey as the Greatest Drummer Alive.
By far my favorite from Fear Inoculum! Pneuma is perfection. So glad you decided to react! SOSO GOOD! 🤘
I am partial to "Descending" on this album, but I am also really into "Culling Voices" as an underrated track on the album. Also, if you truly want to get "lost in the sauce," you have to check out Disposition/Reflection/Triad from Lateralus. 22 minutes of pure bliss.
YOU NEED TO REVIEW THE DANNY CARE DRUM CAM VERSION!!! ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I HAVE EVER SEEN!
The production quality on the new album really sets a new bar. It's impeccable. It sounds fantastic on almost any sound system.
Yeah, except probably for the guitars on Descending. In certain parts from the 7:00 mark, there is too much fuzz and amplification on Jones guitar on the album version to my mind. The notes lack the simplicity and sharpness heard on the original live versions first played back in May or so. The music is great, but that section seems over produced to me.

Saw this live a few weeks ago and I was blown away!!!! Just as good live as it is on the album!! Unbelievable 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I saw it in Sydney... amazing..
That moment when the perfect band plays the perfect riff. Masterful!!!!!!!
You guys should DEFINITELY do INVINCIBLE next, my personal favorite and an absolute amazing track!
You guys have to watch the Drum cam of Danny doing this song live... OMG he is amazing to watch..
I dug this shit from the second I turned it on. EVERY ... FUCKING ... SONG
Every Tool song is mind altering and soul stretching in one way or another. They are an inner experience of high frequency and unique for each indivudual. You get what you need and still so much more is always offered. Take another step...and continue to spiral out!
I have to thank you guys. You're playing stuff I really like. I'm an old sound guy from the 70's and I love listening to well mixed music. Thank you guys!
Every song on this album is a slow burn and becomes a raging fire once it hits you.
You already said what’s next: Invincible or Descending.
My vote is for Descending.
Old TOOL?, new TOOL?, it's all breath taking.
We need some Andy & Alex emojis! At times you both have very emotive facial expressions. As for Tool, they have become background music for me. I enjoy them more if I don't concentrate on the music and just let it flow around me. I'm always interested in analyzing their lyrics though. Great video, guys! Have a safe and joyful New Year's Eve.
Good background music.
Best track on the album (my opinion)..
I would love to hear one off each full album: Swamp Song, Hooker with a Penis, Ticks and Leeches, Right in Two, then Invincible.
My favorite from Fear Inoculum literally changes from week to week now.
Great reaction, guys! Invincible and Descending are ESSENTIAL. Just go in order. Happy New Year everyone!🎄🥃
Please react to porcupine tree - anesthetize live in tilburg. They are one of the best band ever and gavin Harrison is on par with Danny for me. You will have a blast listening that song
This album gets better with each listen. Every time.
Pneuma is their masterpiece I have seen them three times in concert . Every album has that one song , even though all of them are badass there is that one song that is just freaking awesome on each album.
A Perfect Circle. Don’t deprive yourselves
And Puscifer!!
@@likeforthealgorithm Can't stop listening to Grand Canyon lately..
This is the best Tool song ever!! And i love all Tool's songs.. this song envelopes you... and you become a part of it
Tool is a group that you have to sit and listen without interruption. Sure you can play in the background, but you'll under-appreciate the minutia of their work. What these 2 guys did here is the right way to experience/appreciate their work.
Great choice, my personal favorite off the new album, and my song of the year. My vote for the next song is Descending.
Tool is one band where I almost always have to close my eyes and just sit back.
I was RUSH before RUSH was RUSH ! I don’t know what that means either, but it sounds right to me. That is my music pedigree!
INVINCIBLE!!!!!,!! That is all ;)
Time for invincible guys!
Agree lads, for me this is the best on FI, and one of my favourites from Tool all time.
Wow! That was AWESOME! Loved everything about that song! Thank you for this! 💕☮️
Tool recommendations: "Pushit"(live) from Salival album(lyric video), or "Aenema"(with lyrics). "LAMC" is an orchestral masterpiece as well.
Andy! 9.3????? Noooo! This is an all-time!
Still looking for Ticks and Leeches
The drums are fucking insane! Danny at his best right there
Descending next. Top 5 of Tool's discography.
In one interview Danny Carey said it takes him 2 weeks to build up all drums for an album, Justin spends about 2 months and Adam needs about half a year for all his guitar drawings
So much music, so little time. The band Yes. Song, America. Long version. A Simon and Garfunkle cover. Jaw dropping.
I have to wonder if Rush was ever an influence for Tool. Just for the rhythms, the drums, makes me think of Rush.
@@hydros25 thanks for letting me know, there are just too many similarities for there not to be some sort of influence.
Love you guys...it's cool watching you discover great music and the emotions they bring. I know you have delved into Yes a bit. I believe you guys have reacted to "Roundabout", a good song and "Owner of a Lonely Heart" from later in the bands career and IMO not the best example of what made Yes as well thought of as they have come to be.

If you want to go for the gusto try "Tarkus" which also features Greg Lake's vocals.
This blew my mind when they played it live in Melbourne 22/2/20. I cried they were so fucking good.
that was my first listen to this one also, there is deffinatly allot of talent there.
This song lets itself breathe. Pun intended.
A masterpiece composition.
Good reaction! My favorite Tool song right now....just because they are more evolved spiritually and musically ....yes I agree...you have to somehow let go the older stuff because we are at different stage in life.
The album was wrote from working 30 hours a week for 3 straight years via Danny Carey.
To round out the 70s' material, I think you guys should check into BTO - Bachman Turner Overdrive, and Bob Seger (+). Also if you return to Heart, do Barracuda.

It took 13 years to release this album.....masterpiece😊
Boys, I've said it before and I'll say it again--- Lost Keys/ Rosetta Stoned. The ultimate TOOL banger!

Celebrate the new year with The Outlaws. Green Grass and High Tides,. Freebird's big brother!
Best song on the album.

Invincible and Descending are gonna blow your faces off. Pneuma, Invincible, and Descending are the best tracks on this album. Unreal...
Fear Inoculum is perfect. Perfect. Flawless masterpiece. And its not even their crowning achievement!
"I think a lost-in-the-sauce moment is gonna happen."
Yeah, there's nearly 12 minutes of that in store for you!
First time hearing this track. I love the complicated rythmn that messes me up and it all comes together when the section is over. That's what made me fall in love with this band way back when in the olden days. LoL 😆 🤙
What was that at the begining, did they record my kitchen sink dripping? 😳 Very good indeed!
Background music? Noo!
Elevator music? Noo! 🤔
It's more like the sounds of the pipes and creaks of a haunted apartment building coming alive. 🤗
ALL of the songs on this project kick ass...You will enjoy Invincible next...don't sleep on Chocolate Chip Trip...incredible percussion!!!
Check out Pneuma live drum cam on Danny Carey. It will blow your mind.
"I wonder how much time they spent on this" uh 13 years? LOL
@David Eldridge
😂😂😂
David Eldridge 1 year actually because for 12 years, they were at a legal dispute with their label.
David Eldridge I was going to say the same thing😂
10, 000 Days
actually three years. The other ten they were locked in numerous lawsuits
Best fucking reactors in the web. So genuine, glad you liked it.
@Josue Ignacio
Thanks man! You already know we’re just jammin’ out!! 🤟🏻🔥

You guys need to check out the Drum Cam version of this song its pretty insane to watch Danny live.
You guys gotta check out "When the levee breaks" by A Perfect Circle live at Red Rocks

this sauce with it's subtle complexity is hypnotizing

TOOL - Descending
As hypnotic a song as was ever recorded.

Right! Such a great track! Needs a couple dozen listens for full appreciation I feel like as well, haha! Glad we started your day off right!
@@andyandalex Indeed! And, yes... Perfect start to day. I know I'll be revisiting this track again & again. Playlist song! Have feeling this new album is probably all 10's. :) Later!
Seems to be Culling Voices is the most underrated song on the whole album. To me, it's every bit as good as Pneuma.
Nah bro. Culling Voices is amazing , not knocking it, but it's way weaker than Pneuma for a lot of reasons. Pneuma just checks everything off the list. Everything. And like most tool songs, it takes you on many different experience as you interpretation changes with the complexity the song. That being said Culling Voices doesn't have that. It's so obviously Maynard talking about the BS sexual assault allegation. Idk throws me for a loop
I'm voting for "PushIt" from the Salival album. They also do a great cover of Led Zeplin's "No Quarter" on that album. OH MY GOD I LOVE TOOL!!
Imma go with Descending, def the next song to check out.
