His ability to articulate the feelings woven into the auditory web of complexity is inspiring and makes me want to continue to dissect the layers of meaning that tool has laid for us to discover.

      This album from start to finish is chef’s kiss. It always takes me back to the moment it was released. I was 16 at the time and had been listening to them since I was 13. But when THIS happened It evoked something in me and still does. Tool has taken me places I can’t explain with words. True fans KNOW exactly what I mean. Seeing them live in my 40’s was a life altering moment, I felt like my life had come full circle and it was like I had reconciled my damaged teen self with who I am now. And all was right in “my” world. As I said above … it’s difficult to articulate with words.

    This song probably means more to me than any other song I've ever heard. My father had an abusive adopted father, then also turned out abusive to children he told he never wanted. I haven't spoken to him since I was 18, and likewise he hasn't ever tried to reach out either, which I'm fine with. I was so scared to have my own children, and I carried all that hurt around and still mostly do. When my wife and I had our first, I would lie awake at night dreading how I might eventually act. Don't get me wrong, kids are stressful, but after he came along, idk I still don't get it. How can you hold that little soft frail hand in yours and despise it? I pushed for a name starting with H as my nod back to this song. I'm glad he'll never know my father.

    I was born in '88, discovered Tool when Schism was on the radio. Graduated high school in '06 and during the senior year of high school my two best friends were BIG in to Tool. I enjoyed Schism and Lateralus but they swore I would love H. but I just couldn't get in to it. After several years I finally got in to Aenima and H became one of my favorite songs by them, and it still is. Not sure why it took me so long to love but at least I have a story to tell.
    And really, while I think Lateralus is a perfect, masterpiece album, I listen to Aenima more than any of their other albums. Eulogy, H, Forty Six and 2, Jimmy...there are just so many bangers

    I'm so glad you finally did this song. I was abused as a child by my mother, and when I had my own kids it was so very difficult to break that cycle, since physical discipline was the only method I knew and because I have a temper. Luckily, I inherited my father's kindness and willpower and it's safe to say I was a better mother than mine was.

      @@jakew209 thanks, I shared because that's what this song is about for me. "As the snake is drowned, there's a look in its eyes, my fear begins to fade, recalling all of the times, I could have cried then; I should have cried then." That was me killing everything inside of me that was my mother, including getting treatment for my bipolar 1, clinical depression, PTSD, and anxiety; something my mother never did because it's not our way, and something my abuela never did because, again, it's not our way. We're Chiricahua and Mestizo-- our family endured the residential schools and the abuse of having the Indian beaten out of us by the whites at the schools, and that, method of discipline got passed down generation by generation and created a chain of rage and PTSD. It's serious, what multiple concussions as a child and a persistent fight/flight response does to your brain.
      "As the walls come down, and there's a look in your eyes, my fear begins to fade, recalling all of the times I have died. I will die. It's alright. I don't mind."
      That's me seeing my sons look at me with love, not fear, and that I'll happily kill that part of myself a million times to see that love there, that trust, and not the fear that I harbored for my mother all day, everyday, until I was 16 and realized I was 7 inches taller and 30lbs heavier than her and I fought back for the first time.
      I have my father to thank for teaching me that you could love and trust a parent, that I didn't have to fear him. He died July 25th and I miss him so, so much. I miss his voice. I miss talking to him everyday. I miss his wisdom and I miss his love. He and my husband are the reasons I became a good mother and I'm glad I told him all of this and thanked him long before he died.

It still had some angst and troll-ish wit from their earlier works, but it also showed how they were maturing, expanding their horizons and playing with their sound. Aenima will forever be one of my favorite albums, and H. will always have a special place in my soul.

    Picture this: You’re 15-16 years old and already a huge Tool fan. Playing Undertow on repeat.
    Stinkfist bursts onto the radio seemingly out of nowhere after waiting 2-3 years for anything new.
    You run to the nearest Sam Goody and buy this Aenima (Anima? Enema?) album only knowing the one song, which is first in the track list.
    You eagerly rip through Eulogy which is fuckin awesome, aggressive and angry but progressed from their former sound and then this song, H drops on you like a bomb.
    It’s familiar Tool but within a deeper more vulnerable landscape. Then that beautiful, flowing, almost theatrical/soundtrack-like middle section surprises you. Maynard captures you with a newer, softer voice you really haven’t heard before.
    At that moment you knew your favorite band was not only incredibly unique and uber talented, but quite possibly headed towards the greatness we are all celebrating today.
    This song is so hypnotic and just a gorgeous trip. Thanks for the review

    Another great video Geebz! H. is another one in the soundtrack of my life. I remember my dad walking by my room and asking me who this was as I was trying to play this on my guitar over and over. Guitar World had published the tabs that month and I was geeking out. We ended up sitting in my room and listening to the rest of Aenima together. Then he introduced me to King Crimson, Yes and Peter Gabriel stuff that he thought had some influence on them. A few years later we went and saw King Crimson open for Tool. Amazing show! Miss you Dad but thanks for all of these great memories I have with you!
    If you’re looking for Tool suggestions my vote would be for Eulogy or Hooker with a Penis. Would love to get lyrical reactions to those down the road

      Huh?? His father did nothing to him. That's a horrible accusation. His parents divorced when Maynard was 3. His dad is a school teacher and also wrestling coach. Maynard went to live with his father and that is where he joined the Glee club, wrestling team and theater. He also did long distance running at that school. If you're thinking (Prison Sex) is his personal experience with his father that is completely wrong.

    Enough can't be said for how incredible Tool is.... Truly a band's band. So organic, creative, and purposeful. Discovering Tool back in the mid 90's was a huge turning point in my life in multiple ways. Like Geebz said, they will continue to be a precedent setting band for generations to come. I'm so grateful to have found them and to have experienced them live multiple times over the years. My mother passed away just after the release of 10,000 days in '06, and she was similar to Maynard's mother in regards to her beliefs, so Wings for Marie 1 & 2 always hit me really hard. I know that so many others share that same feeling and experience.
    Geebz, thank you so much for these breakdowns and reactions. It has been absolutely amazing to hear your insight. I have truly learned a lot already, and I have really enjoyed experiencing this Maynard journey with you. I know you haven't done anything from their Undertow album yet, so I would love to hear you decompose some of those (especially the title track). Looking forward to many more to come! Awwwright!! 🤙

    Most people are aware of the Jungian psychology associated with 46&2, but "Jimmy" and "H" are part of my unofficial trilogy consisting of a story about a man's journey through the many steps of Jungian psychology in an effort to come to terms with his past, heal his present, and grow/evolve through the future. It's not canon, but I dont separate those three songs...my favorite musical trilogy.

    I love this track as an example of how Tool understands melodic and thematic material better than almost any other modern band. That slow, almost ugly sequence of notes at the beginning is a 'hook', but it's much better than catchy - it's perfectly echos and represents the theme of the song. They then take us on a journey using that material, and develop it in a way that tells us the story. The way they are able to develop thematic material is almost an entirely lost compositional art in pop and modern music, and it's why Tool is able to reach heights most other modern artists aren't even aware enough to reach for.

    @ryansylvia9710 2 роки тому

    This song does a thing that I find fairly unique overall across most music, but definitely in TOOLs library; they made it difficult to discern the guitar from the bass. The hook is vaguely in unison, but in a creative way that not really unison. It has this affect of making the band feel like a seriously connected unit, like they have a hive mind. I think that intimate mix you're talking about plays into that extremely well. All part of their subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) genius

      @@tool-reflectionarmy6258 yeah, I can see from that line but as a whole it doesn’t, to me, seem to be about abuse. “Here from a kings Mountain View…but I would wish it all away if I’d lose you just one day” actually seems more like a relationship he is trying to keep except he has this ambition to make money and feel like a sultan. I read years ago this was a possible song towards his son. I read it As his internal desires (legion, he wants to silence) wants him to be selfish. “Damn my eyes if They should compromise the fulcrum” his eyes are desiring something (I think money and fame). We already know Maynard doesn’t like fame and attention.
      Personally, I think he exorcised a lot of those abuse demons with Aenima. And I’d say Pushit is definitely another to your list.
