Personally, my favorite track on this album
Same. The guitar solo hits fucking nasty
Same
Word
Yes 😌😌
YES
Tool has so many great tracks, but I can't say they have one better than this. Perfection!
Tool has ruined, mostly, all other music for me. I still appreciate Rush, Queen, Zep, Alice in Chains, etc...however, those bands are just a palate cleanser. Tool is the evolution of music that no other band has reached.
Same bro
Have you heard of Karnivool? If you haven't, check out their album sound awake, it's very good.
I second this. Literally I can go 3-4 days without tool and notice somethings off. Like my days seem shittier. Tool is absolutely medicine for me. It’s ridiculous. As a drummer I finally am starting to wrap my brain around Danny’s rhythms. The polyrhythmic counting is out of this world. No way I can play any of it. But it’s the one band that challenges my musical abilities. Mentally. I can not wait to get a set built. I’m building a Danny like set. So I’ll see y’all in 8 years a 15,000 later😂
I take that back. The 5/4 bit in lateralus
The high hat bit in triad.
There’s not much. But I’ve noticed how much more he incorporates rudiments. If you can figure out the rudiment then the pattern can be kinda simple. You just have to then add two or three other patterns and move the first pattern around the set. That’s where shit gets insane.
@@joshuaburgin5995 I hope the set you build is awesome and that it helps bring out the best in your drumming.
The way Adam sets the mood it so unique.
First - am thankful to be alive in the time of TOOL
Second - the best part of TOOL making songs is that they exist - and you can listen to them today - and then AGAIN tomorrow
Third - luv your reactions man - thanks!
"they need a two hour video with visuals"...bro that is what a Tool concert is. You owe it to yourself to go to the next one you can.
AMEN brother.30 years ago...not great,but good.Seen live shows six more times and each one has been a mind bender.I tell all music heads to put a live Tool show at the top of their bucket list.Drink the Tool-aid.Do it.Dive in head first.No regrets. No need for booze or drugs...the sound and the light will get you higher than a Chinese kite. TOOL live is simply amazing.
Man I had tickets, nabbed em, and guess what happened? Pandemic. Tour cancelled. I still hope for a future tour I can experience. But I know what you mean.
@@constantine15 Well looks like you’re in luck! I got my tickets for Pittsburgh on Friday :)
@@constantine15 Same boat , March 2022, this shit better be over .
Got tickets for the Minneapolis show on Wednesday.
@@natemartinez2745 Fuck yeah, bought mine on Wednesday for Minneapolis.
Yeah boy. This the tune of our generation here.
Fantastic comment.
"Stir us from our wanton slumber" is the theme for the last 2 years. They were prophetic in 2019.
Facts
Not only that, I mean the term 'Fear Inoculum' itself just kinda describes the current state of society. I thought about this a lot, recently.
@@MrRaoulJames yes. We could definitely use an inoculation against unnecessary fear.
That’s just the polite way of saying . Get your heads out asses , and pay attention.
2019 the bottom just fell out.
Maynard considers his voice an instrument that is equal to the instruments…
Yes, technically the human voice is the first instrument, percussion/drums would be second
That final I don’t mind in H. his voice went past being an instrument and became a weapon. Whew that is an intense ten seconds
You nailed it man! NO ONE sounds like TOOL, TOOL sounds like NO ONE...for 30 years now, in a world full of music how could that be possible??
I relate them to Pink Floyd a lot - not because the sound is similar, but because the effect is. Both bands committed to breaking molds of existing musical trends and invested in building long, complex tracks and thematic concepts that talk about life on a deeper level and transport the listener on some emotional journey.
Speaking of meditation and spacing out, Reflection might be tops. That long intro with the drums is absolutely trance-inducing!
Reflection is HEAVEN. Heard it live 3X on the Lateralus tour way back in 2001, '02. Brought me to my knees. Tears of joy were shed. Oh my goodness 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@rubaidaallen2764 Wow, I'm jealous!
@@PongGod Absolutely stunning song. It's my fave on Lateralus. I always say if I had the ability to go back in time, I would revisit those 3 shows again 😌😌
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this with you :)
thank you
:)
One of my fave songs EVER. I love to lie in bed late at night in the dark with this cranked in my headphones, no drugs required to just lose all awareness of my own body as my consciousness merges with the music.
it's better with the drugs. lolol
I'm a die hard fan of Tool's music. I've listened to every track a million times and my two favorite tracks are Descending and Pushit.
Hope you got see them live last tour. My three shows had both of them, every show. I like Pushit, but after seeing it live 4 times, I love it more and more.
When you said "what now?!" Such a Tool feeling, bro
This is so visual to me. Most of their music is but this one…there’s something special. I always see this god like figure sprinkling this creation giving the urgency to rise up and fight for survival. Crazy how it just percolates and visually I just see people waking up preparing for the fight of their lives. Crazy good.
Of course they use a lot of staff in studio, but their greatness is that they play live without samples and other instruments (and without an on ear beat) and their songs sound even better.
they dont' sound better though... come on... maynard is sometimes flat, danny hurries or delays a beat once in a while... it's not a problem but it's not BETTER than the recorded version
@@notimportant3686 it's a live. It can't be and It doesn't have to be the same as the studio version. Different doesn't mean worst. And moreover to say that Danny Carey doesn't keep time is an antithesis (and a bit of a blasphemy).
@@prefono well guess what... you know that very popular recent video of the pneuma drum play through live?... in the last quarter of the song he messes up the the timing quite obviously
@@notimportant3686 Actually it is Adam who is wrong. When Danny looks like he's missing a beat, he's actually making up for a guitar mistake. In any case, if a group plays a 12-minute super-complex piece by heart (and all the pieces of the concert are like this) and without timing on ear and to understand that there is an imperfection you have to see the images (because you can't hear anything ), it takes courage to say they don't keep time. If you saw them live you would understand, in my life I have only seen Radiohead play at the same level.
Your reaction video made me appreciate my favorite song even more!!! A comforting song about the battle of life!
You MUST do Pneuma....same album....absolute masterpiece and the height of 'everything Tool'
Tool army roll call..
Present!
Excellent Reaction. Great Job. They can easily take you to another world.
Tool takes you on a journey and happy to watch you take this one!! This song live had me levitating.
Cheers.
Didn’t take long for me to spot a fellow Tool soul mate. Lol. You mentioned the layers and intricate details that make all the difference and I instantly subscribed 😂 Tool is a band that any musician from any genre can learn from. They create sonic realms more real that the world in front of our face.
Well all I can say is I love everything you just said. Props bro God bless.
If you listen to the lyrics, this is a song about the climate apocalypse and literally fending off our extinction. This song shook me to my core when I first heard it, and it still makes me want to cry knowing that N O T H I N G is being done. We were warned.
Same bro. It’s a call to arms to the human race to make a change.
Please don't bring the Climate Change fear mongering to a Tool conversation. There is no proof that we cause climate change. It is known that the Earth's climate fluctuates on it's own and has done so for millions of years. Back in the 70's they scared us with a "pending Ice age". Nothing in the Lyrics mentions Climate Change. He could be speaking of Nuclear Armageddon. He could be talking about Artificial Intelligence (A La The Terminator movies). He could be speaking about losing our freedom to Big Government collusion with Mega Corporations. YOU chose to make it about Climate Change. You have the right to think of it that way for yourself, but don't define this song for others through your personal lens. I suspect Maynard left it open to interpretation intentionally. Climate Change (and systemic racism) are the "TOOLs" being used to control us into conceding our freedoms to the Government.
ps. I love our planet and the creatures that inhabit it. We are part of this world and because of our big brain technology we have become a threat to the other animals trying to live here. We certainly need to own responsibility to preserve it because we seem to be the only ones with the ability to protect it from habitat destruction, which is my personal opinion you can accept or reject for yourself.
And I LOVE this song!
Thanks for taking me along for the ride!
Isn't this the most beautiful thing you have ever heard??!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤❤
YOU are absolutely correct I also travel too bro!!!!! Love the reaction!! I was introduced to this Band THANK GOD!! It is so difrent!!!!
Saw them live the other night, they played this towards the end of the set, mesmerizing
Agreed man, there is no other band like tool, it's more like feeling an experience when you factor in the lyrics and meaning and instruments. Rather than jamming out to s*** that sounds good. They are unique, even though it interviews I've seen them just smile and play it off like it's nothing, there's just something special about all these individuals feeding off each other to create this music, and impeccable mixing and mastering of their songs.
I wish I could like this video more than once... your reaction is perfect
They are so fucking good it's ridiculous how much time and consideration they have for the message and journey they want the fan to take. It's the only band that can make you feel like you're on drugs without taking anything. Best band on earth 🌎
14.47 "What Now ?!?!"
Made me laugh out loud. :-)
I feel like tool reactions should be two parts. One where you just vibe out, close your eyes and feel the whole thing as it's presented and then another listen with lyrics. The lyrics, and their meaning, in these songs are as important as any instrument imo
you GOTTA do SoundGarden: Slaves and Bulldozers. Chris Cornell is a AMAZING voice. tons of Soul. One of a kind. R.I.P.
Agreed, but there are other great songs that never get shouted out, such as "Like Suicide", "Tighter and Tighter", and "Disappearing One." RIP Chris Cornell
I love that you are not focused on reading the song lyrics while the music is playing. Like you said, just gotta close your eyes and listen. Experience it. Reading lyrics and such is for afterwards when you wanna deep dive.
Great react! Cheers!
Right on! Epic! If you want more of that you’re in luck! 👌🏼
check out the lyrics. they are really deep and very relevant.
Awesome reaction bro!
Great reac. Glad I stopped by. Have a great rest of your day. Cheers.
There are few songs where Maynard's vocal track is in the front for the whole song but The Pot and Ticks and Leeches are two off the top of my head where his contribution takes center.
I'm really appreciating the breakdowns of Rosetta Stone recently. Perhaps a bit more balanced between vocals and instrumentals but I love the vocal contributions in it.
a 2 hour video with visuals is them live. it's freaking magical
Yeah he gets it.
Lol yup
Easily one of my favorites.. just like 20 of their other songs.
But this stands out when I listen to it... just like most of their other songs.
Its a journey. Epic.
Great reaction. I think you should do A Perfect Circle When the levee breaks live stone and echo. Maynards voice is amazing. The live version is the best for sure👍
Yeah, when the levee breaks is a good one. Guy can sing decades.
Who gave this reaction a thumbs down?! The authenticity is always on point in your reactions compared to other bobble heads who are using Tools greatness for views. We are not tricked. Great reaction as always.
Yo "time for therapy" love it foreal foreal
Amen!! Tool is on another Stratosphere Musically like No Other!! Yes this coming from your Geriatric Subscriber Again!! Initially perked my ear up when I First heard Sober and bought their Undertow album!! Was so Impressed as I haven't heard so much musical Art and complexity since the early 70s!! But the album that really Stole my Heart was Tool's album "aEnima "!! Totally blew me away as I thought that Great Artistic music was Dead!! Here comes TOOL!! STILL Swear by this band and Yes, I'll be 60 years old in November!! Appreciate Great Artistic Music!! TOOL AWAKENED ME!! Thanks for your Reaction to this most Musically Artistic Band!!!
You NEED to go see TOOL live in concert! They just announced a US tour starting January! Tickets go on sale Friday October 1 at 10 am local time through Ticketmaster. They sell out really fast! You need to be in that Ticketmaster queue at like 9:45 am. I can tell you love listening to this band. GO SEE THEM LIVE EVERY TIME YOU GET A CHANCE TOO! This tour will be the 15th time I see them live!
Thank you so much for this. Didn’t get the memo and made it just in time to buy tickets for Dallas! It’ll be my first tool concert. And I cannot wait. I’ve studied their whole discography over the past two years. Really an incredible group.
@@joshuaburgin5995 you are in for a treat with the FI tour mate. Songs from Aenima, Lateralus, 10,000 days were played in Nz. Have fun & enjoy ✌
Cheers buddy
One of the best songs.
the best Tool song 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Whatever that wha wha was stood the hair on the back of my neck up!!
This guy gets it.
8:40 I remember reading in a magazine somewhere that Maynard talked about being a part of this band. As in it's about what the band creates together and not so much being about any of them being the star. I think that comes out in the mix, and in the way Maynard generally stays towards the back of the stage at their concerts, same as with A Perfect Circle concerts - although their music is mixed in a more standard sort of way. Maynard's pet project Puscifer is outstanding too, albeit a different sort of style project than Tool or APC, and he's right out in the forefront of those shows.
The anchor is within the rhythm. I can nod my head 10 different counts to them. The anchor is inside of the pattern.
this was my favorite track from the new album, very few ppl seem to cover it for some reason x
nice
There's a lot that can be said for the production in Tool songs, but for me the most amazing thing is that for as complicated as it is it's also simple, it's still mostly just a guitar, a bass, drums and a singer, it's always so clean and clear. Of course there's effects, layers, mixing and panning etc... but it's simple and understandable, you can hear it all.
If you want to hear Maynard's vocals in front listen to A Perfect Circle or Puscifer.
Tool . They're just different. Indeed.
That meditative trance you get into, the journey you take, the new perspective you have on life, that new way of feeling... all points to the fact that Tool's music is basically a psychedelic drug. Take psychedelics if you don't believe me! You'll see just what I mean. 😉
In one of their earlier interviews, Maynard talked about how what they wanted to do was find the right sounds to help people enhance their lives, stop smoking, be a better person etc. Hence their name "Tool," meaning they are literally creating their music to be used by people as a tool for self improvement (which, psychedelics also have that use). He MIGHT have been trolling when he said that, but idk, it makes sense to me.
Maynard uses voice as one as the Instruments
Welcome to Tool. There is no other like them
See them live!! Idk about the mix boards.
TOOL just announced shows for next year!!
I heard it live 2019, didnt knew what hit me until it was over 🤯
I concur, I was lucky enough to see them perform this song as well. It was a small tour, right before the album dropped. It was almost like a warm up tour. Just a handful of cities.
My mind exploded after the solo especially. 🤯 I just remember that solo with a bright orange pyramid on the screen behind them. I had to pick my jaw up off the floor.
7/4 time signature most of the song with a change to 3/4 in verse and chorus.
That was so fun with you! Go see them MFR!!
Certainly utilize what you hear as inspiration for better and new songwriting and recording ideas, also keep in mind this album was 12 years after 10,000 days so they spent years, literally, perfecting this album from composing and rehearsing to recording to final mastering, these cats are at masterclass level.
You gotta watch Ernesto Schnack acoustic cover of this song. He really brings it out on this cover.
You are correct. There is no group like TOOL and there probably never will be
“Descending” is Tools Swan Song
Fear Inoculum released 30 August 2019 just 4 months before Covid was released upon the earth in December 2019. With a title Fear Inoculum and song titles Legion Inoculant, Fear Inoculum and Pneuma (meaning breath, spirit) I believe Tool artistically came in touch with the presence of the alien foreign force of the fearful energy about to grip the earth and gave voice to this unseen thing with their music and produced a precursor soundtrack of everything that is behind Covid as it was coming onto existence. You said yourself this music is like a drug and you loose yourself in its presence. This fear upon the earth is causing us to rely upon a drug vaccine and loosing ourselves in many ways.
This is the album. Lateralus was amazing but this is the best.
Btw I don’t know what they do in the studio but they sound exactly the same in concert but better!
The lions are awake, time to fend off the jackals
It’s just called an odd time signature, meaning they’re using an odd number instead of an even number for the beat. Like 7 instead of a usual 8.
And if you’re “losing the beat” when you’re nodding your head, just keep nodding, you’ll notice that every other bar, your nod will land first on the downbeats, then on the next bar on the upstrokes. And it’ll just switch back and forth. That’s because 2 odd numbers always add up to an even number. So it just cycles. If that makes sense.
and also, the syncopation and accents therein 👍🏽
Tool use loads of different time signatures in their songs other than the regular 4/4.
Always boggles my mind to think that no other band sounds like Tool and Tool sound like no other band and it's been that way for 30 friggin years.
15:19 sorry that's Justin Chancellor on the bass
You have to do invincible man. Off that record
Turnstile - Blackout
Gotta add to my last comment!! Maynard Keenan pride of Cleveland Ohio (ok he's actually from Ravenna Ohio, still a suburb of Cleveland)!! Cleveland Rocks as bands like Filter,Nine Inch Nails (Trent Reznor) from that Rockin town!! Can name many others!! On another note, check out the Deftones!! They're not from Cleveland BUT Badassed!! Check out the song "PASSENGER "!! A collaboration with Maynard Keenan!!
They do everything you hear on stage with just three guys ,which call their selves A triad 🔺 👁
... there are four of them
If you want to hear Maynard more at the front you should listen to A Perfect Circle and Puscifer.
If you like the slow piece-by-piece buildups, you would probably like Culling Voices off this album!
You should listen to Ruler by Uneven Structure. I think you'd like it
Hey man, it's the odd and ever changing time signatures that make you feel as though a bar ends early.
Tool only sounds like themselves
3:50 that volume bar is going in the wrong direction
You should really listen to The Pot and 46 & 2. ;) Honestly though, they have so many good songs! By the way, that "drop in early" thing you're talking about with the beat... Tool does a lot with odd time signatures. That's why it feels off to rock back and forth to the beat. They mix in a lot of 5/7/11 times. So, instead of being able to count 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and for each measure, it's more like 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and - 1 and 2 and 3 and - 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and... kind of like that. You can sort of just start to feel it after listening to their songs enough, even if you don't know much about music theory.
I like what youre saying about wanting to hear more Maynard, but if youve been to a concert youll see him hidden in the back. TOOL is just 4 frontmen playing different instruments, doing their absolute masterpieces and using math to make the pieces fit
They bury the vocals in the mix in purpose. Maynard regards himself as just another instrument in the group. He even tends to stand upstage rather than out in front when performing live.
If you want more of Maynard beyond TOOL try listening to some Puscifer.
They use a lot of timing changes and mixed timings.
Ohh bro, once you really know tool songs, they can be great to throw on and clean the house lol. All the best ✌️
Facts. It’s a group that when you know what to expect from every member, it’s still just as good. Maybe even a little better cause you know where it’s building too you can kinda put your mind in the minds of the members.
My therapy is you gettin therapy.
A lot of people wish Tool's vocals were mixed a little more in front of the music. But their philosophy is that the music isn't there to support the vocals. Rather, the vocals are just another instrument. MJK isn't the front man: he's a fellow musician whose chosen instrument is his voice.
MAYNARD DOESN’T LIKE BEING ON THE FOREFRONT, you barely see him when he plays live
