Favorite Tracks: Vicarious; Jambi; Wings For Marie Pt. 1; 10,000 Days; The Pot; Right In Two
Least Favorite Track: Lipan Conjuring
Rosetta Stoned in all of its goofiness is really awesome, but it did take a while for it to grow on me. “Me the chosen one, and I didn’t even graduate from f-kin high school”. *heavy chugging riffs*
rosetta stoned is my favorite TOOL song and it's not really close
the “slow mo descent out of the butt end of the banana vessel” fucking kills me every time and it’s such a good line
That one bass riff is honestly the reason I still exist
When Maynard’s says Hallelujah overtop of Adam’s triplet riff and fades away into the void and transitions into that baseline. That part sends me to another planet.
I love how part of the riff in Third Eye returns and makes a guest appearance!
I don’t know what to write so just pretend I wrote something really funny
No, I don’t think I will
@@jtisthename what is that last airbender ass username
LMAO
Just say something about the Fibonacci sequence man
@@jacel987 lmfaooooooo
Rosetta stoned did a complete 180 with me. Found it too hard to get into. Skipped it for years. Then for some reason one rainy day I listened to it again. Now it's honestly one of my favourites. It absolutely grows on repeated listens
Same experience except I skipped it then finally fully listened to it and was amazed
I felt the same way about Reflection don’t know why now honestly
Yup. I kinda think that for the first several listens it seems just too silly with the lyrics and the effects - but once you actually take the lyrics "seriously" and listen to the story the music starts to fit it perfectly.
When Maynard said “what are you, some kind of TOOL?” and then proceeded to Mussolini Sequence all over the place, I shed tears. Truly one of the TOOLs of all time.
Also Thirteenth Step reaction when?
I wanna see his soul leaving his body listening to APC.
Your username suggests you know something about Weezer, which isn't a good thing
It was really cool of a few creative folks to make these easy-to-use meme templates for everyone . I mean humor is pretty formulaic anyways, but it's interesting seeing it distilled to the point where anyone can feel like they made a joke basically by playing a quick round of mad libs.
Mer de Noms better
It turns out the tool was inside you all along
Fellow TOOL fans hyping up Rosetta Stoned only for it to blow up in their face as Brad reacted to it was hilarious. Rosetta Stone is probably the hardest TOOL song to click with in their whole discography.
Funnily enough, the song didn't fully click with me until I saw Brad react to it.
it was the song that got me into tool lol
i usually just skip to the breakdown, Maynard trolled the song.
I feel in love with it at first listen lol. Third Eye was the toughest one for me, but it's my favourite song by then. now.
It didn’t hit me until I saw it live in 2007
You should do Undertow before Fear Inoculum, hearing Undertow would be weird cause it’s very raw and sounds very much like a debut
7empest is also much more rewarding when you're familiar with the Undertow sound
Honestly I think he should do Undertow last so he can finish Tool off with a high note
@@Slurpgerkbonus opiate reaction????
Rossetta Stoned is pure Prog Rock wankery and I love it. At some point Danny Carey plays 3 different polyrhythms at once and It's amazing. It's probably their most complex song
When it comes to Maynards Mother, she had an Aneurysm then left her entire body paralyzed only on one side. She was a woman of God, and Maynards Father wasn't around (in war). Maynard, not being as open to religion at the time, was angry for his mother putting all her faith in God when in his mind "he did this to you". Around the same time, rumors were spreading around the church/hospital (I forget what about) and the lyrics in Wings 2 that says "Feigning all the trial and tribulations none of us have been there, not like you." Are about that. At the start of this, in his second band A Perfect Circle wrote a song called Judeth about his anger why she was being so faithful to this God that did this to her. Wings for Marie 1 and 2 is after the 20 something years she was paralyzed. About 10,000 days in total. At this point she has passed away. These 2 songs are about Maynards understanding of her side, and the acceptance he went through. Putting aside his distaste for God and his bais, hence the passage "set in my ways in my arrogance... etc." These 3 songs are known as the Maynards Mom Trilogy (Judeth, Wings for Marie, 10,000 Days)
10,000 Days in the fire is long enough, your going home. - Maynard.
You are horrible at math
And i would probably add Jimmy
I think Jimmy is what his mom called him, prob didn't have the Maynard part before
@@lambsauce5312 We can also argue about The Grudge being included since it's about letting go of toxic anger, which works with Judith. There are mentions of Saturn in the song, which allude to both the Titan mythos and how Saturn takes 27 years to orbit the Sun.
@@NFrk97 yeah but it's more of a nod to it than being a song directly about it
@@lambsauce5312I’d add H., Passive and Horizons as well
I remember The Pot being my first ever Tool song I ever listened to, I have such fond memories bout it
eulogy was my favorite because this older Christian teenager kid who tried to diddle me told me that this band was satanic cause he tonight that song was about Jesus
mines was sober!
The pot was my first too, my manager showed me that when he used to smoke me out for doing doubles
strangely mine was Rosetta stoned which in retrospect is a wild introduction. truly confused me at the time but today i absolutely love it, even more because it was my first
im not sure if mine was the pot or vicarious but yeah :D
10,000 Days is like a holy grail of alt metal for millenials and earlier gen-z rock musicians. So many people in my family and friend group wouldn't be as motivated to play metal if it weren't for this band and this album in particular. Im sure other rock musicians would agree that knowing a few Tool songs is essential
Tool was the entry point for a lot of prog-heads, myself included. And they're still one of the best prog metal bands out there.
Prog*
So they're to blame for all those insufferable djent bands always playing unnaproachable polyrhythms and the same two chords on pretentious dissonant positions on unnecessarily expensive 100 string guitars. Thankfully djent bands are so uninspiring that I forget about them after after a minute.
@@CvnDqnrU holy, someone’s mad
@@CvnDqnrU You can't blame an artist for the mediocrity of the people they inspire. You'd have to come to the conclusion that newer musicians will do what they like and you should treat them with respect for doing what they want despite not finding enjoyment in it. That'd require a bit of thinking and empathy and judging by your nasty attitude that's challenging for you.
i still like this album, it's second half is not as strong as the first but its still a nice listen, 10,000 days it's one of the most heartwrenching songs i've ever listened to
If ever there was an example of a "grower" it's Rosetta Stoned, I think it's a masterpiece. But admittedly my first listen was like "wtf did i just listen to?" But now... I listen to it often, especially in combination with Lost Keys. I lay in bed, with dim lights, but the headphones on and listen to both these tracks in sequence with my eyes closed and its a journey and trip every time.
I'm a grower too, i'm generic af tho and Jambi is my favorite off the album
try "intermission" before "rosetta stoned". it's a pretty fun combo
The wings duology is absolutely crushing, you can tell Maynard truly loved his mom
It's great to see Brad discovering Tool and not letting the like "douche fans" stigma affect his listen. I really like the vibes and themes. The ritualistic guitar chug patterns. Everything works so well together in this album. AND THE GURGLING BASS TONE. it's so badass.
Right In Two best song off the album to me. Such a great ballad and the structure is marvelous.
Wings for Marie pt 1 and 2 together are masterpieces. So beautiful. Never heard anything liek it before and since.
Only real Gs remember the Pot snail video
Tfw Brad isnt on his knees praising Rosetta Stoned and im looking right through him with the most somniferous almond eyes I can muster.
The Pot's bass is the bass tone I want on every song ever.
You gotta try an Alice In Chains album next. Facelift, Jar of Flies, Dirt…
Bump for Dirt
Facelift!!! Best AIC album imo
Rosetta stoned is the best song to do Acid to. What a phenomenal song
This album is dope. Hope you enjoy! The best song on the album is the last one Right in two is my fav
The Pot was the first Tool song I ever heard. Freshmen year of high school after Alex Elam (RIP) put it on a mix cd for me. It’s forever my favorite and my life changed in that moment.
That was my first Tool song too. Then about a month later I'd forgotten about Tool and me and few friends had some acid dropped, someone played Lateralus album front to back. Blew me away
This album is GOATed. Jambi has my favorite Tool guitar solo. Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned is just *chefs kiss*.
10 000 days is how long the next Tool song will be
This joke made sense from 2006- 2019.
original!
Do you post this comment 10,000 days ago?
@@ZHike360 we enter a new dark age
Bull of heaven probably did this
This album might not be the best tool album but It finally made me appreciate tool and I went back and listened to undertow and I loved it. I'm now a tool fan.
W for brad for relistening to rosetta stoned, my favorite tool song. its so immersive and the story about alien encounters on psychedelics is amazing. right in two is a beautiful track, one of their most poetic and beautiful. those are two highlights of this album that make it stand out, and are two highlights of their discography in general. next up is undertow fear and opiate, even salival!
Man "Right in two" is one of my favourite Tool songs lyrically. Such a cool concept for a song.
Salival is pretty good but the live audio rubs me the wrong way, and opiate is center mass or flesh wound for me, undertow and fear inoculum are amazing tho
i miss being able to say two certain words that you said we can’t say anymore, literally 1984
this is literally 1984!!!
Undertow has the best maynard vocals imo. And the production is amazing for 93. Sounds like new
The production of Undertow is raw and dirty but that’s what makes it unique IMO but that’s what I love about it.
@@reecelaroche yes, its exactly that and the fact that it strikes that balance so amazingly well, and everything still sounds just so good, is a testament to sylvia massy and the guys putting on flawless performances
It was great when Maynard sang "It's TOOL'in time!" and everyone in the record store clapped.
So glad to hear you came around on Wings for Marie. I've spent hours playing it and every time I feel all the things.
i like how brad gives an opinon not just once, but over time
The first half of this album is some of their best work, I think the wings from marie instrumental criticism is honestly fair but Maynards vocal performance absolutely picks up that slack. I feel like you hear his voice in its strongest form there, he's very upfront, and probably the most raw lyrically we'll ever hear him be. The second half of the record is very desolate, which isn't all bad, but way too unfocused to feel strongly about.
10,000 days is still my favorite tool album for the reasons you mentioned. that spiritualistically repetitive nature is just so powerful and enveloping
3:30 oh I hope you eventually get the cd for this album, just because it has two lenses included in the design which let you look at the images of the inlay including the album cover.
So glad you added your “corrections” 10,000 days is epic and emotional and yes more Maynard forward but for all the right reasons
back in middle school i literally put Intension and the Disposition on a loop to fall asleep to. Hearing either one just briefly unironically sends a surge of melatonin through my brain and i start feeling sleepy.
He snores at Intension but the bass riff is just so unique and interesting and it's so chill. I love Intension.
I wish I was there for the stream, but regardless, I'm glad to see you had some enjoyment. This is probably the album to really solidify me into being a TOOL fan. I went in order of their discography and Jambi really stuck out and made me really want to come back for more. This one used to be my most favorite until I went on relistening to the discography and it went down to #3, but honestly still a great one imo. I do agree with your gripes where the tediousness felt like it could've been used to make more songs or put focus into other sections of songs, but overall they just reside in the interludes (except Intension which sorta grew on me, but isn't on my playlist).
(I'll be discussing their most recent album so if you are intending on going in blind, just ignore the rest of this.) I will say that Fear Inoculum might be a difficult album for you next because a lot of that tedium in "10,000 Days" kinda forms that album (seriously, look at the freakin song lengths). But after a second listen, it's become my 2nd most favorite album while also having my most favorite song from TOOL on there. But I think me and many others would understand why you wouldn't like it; it's probably their most divisive album yet. I think seeing it more through the lends of an art project rather than a music album puts it into a perspective, but that being said, I can see the criticism of it defeating the purpose of it being an album.
Jambi is my jambi
I'm skipping Wings for Marie and 10,000 Days. I don't listen to those songs anymore. Not like I used to. Ever since my mom died of cancer in 2021, I held those songs closely to me to get through it all. Just seeing my mom deteriorate and die was a lot.
I even had a band come in while I was there and they asked me what I'd want them to play along to. I played them Wings and they somehow made it better. I will never share the video. Just for me and my brother to remember my mom. She was blown away by their improvisation with the song playing in the background. It gave me chills and I couldn't help but tear up.
I haven't watched the video since then. I watched it for a month or so after she passed.
glad to hear it grew on you! i do agree that as an album experience it suffers a bit from flow issues, but the individual tracks are some of my favorite songs from tool
We're getting a real Christmas present with these daily (even double) uploads. Appreciate it man 🙏
This is my favorite album of tool
Vicarious though
intension iz zo zlept on conztantly
Regarding the comment about the balance swaying too much on Maynards direction, it's important to mention that they recorded this after his APC project, and i think that it influenced his vocals a lot. I noticed it as well when the album came out.
Ah, my favorite Tool album.
Everyone always talks about Lateralus because of le epic Fetuccini sequence, but that album bores me to no end. 10000 Days is much more dynamic and sonically diverse.
I’m happy that the album grew on you Bradley! Ik people are trolling in chat but 8- is a great rating. I agree with your criticisms about the flow of this album but to me this album is still a 10 (I’m probably a little biased because of nostalgia). It was my introduction to TOOL as far as albums are concerned and I’ll always love it.
I Love this sooooooo much! Long over due my dude!
i saw TOOL in march and as soon as maynard started to sing The Pot everyone in the stadium lit theirs up in unison
I don't understand how someone can listen to Wings and 10000 Days and not cry. I guess it hits different when you've been in a similar situation.
The first and second times I listened to both songs, I nearly cried. After that, I just felt nothing anymore. But that's just me.
I got the CD version of this album with the glasses that flip out of the album cover to look at the 3D art in the liner notes, back in 2006 I thought that was some of the coolest album packaging ever. I haven't heard this album in ages so this was a fun nostalgia trip to watch.
Love your honesty. You’re not catering to the audience. This is my favorite band and I agree that this is not their strongest project and the band or myself don’t require any approval and I don’t get my panties in a bunch just because someone doesn’t love what I love. That is all 😎 keep going. I’ll watch
Rosetta Stoned is so goddamn good, and a total grower
YES I WAS WAITING FOR THIS
Not sure if it's been mentioned in the comments anywhere yet, but something interesting about the album cover for this- it had this flap with lenses attached to the front of it that you could look through to distort the album more. I have the album buried somewhere in a box full of cd cases so I'm kinda just remembering this off the top of my head. Unfortunately that flap with the lenses made it a massive pain in the ass to store with other CD cases because it made it uneven(the lenses were thick glass fish-eye lenses, probably about half an inch in thickness) and uneven things don't really stack well when everything else is a flat square/rectangle. Regardless, it was a neat little idea I guess and I just thought it was funny how Brad kept coming back to the album art without having that little piece of information.
Vicarious is one of the best progressive metal songs ever written. It was inevitable that Jambi would be a bit of a let down. The curse of success as it were.
this was such a vibe to be in during the stream
Yes!
100% agree that it feels both longer and shorter.
I literally said "that's so bada$$" at 5:13 and he literally said it immediately after. I'm literally bonkwers at music analysis.
Holy shirtballs another TOOL album??
THIS guy saw the community post
I love all the tracks on this album 💕
This album is absolutely fantastic, and I love pretty much every song besides some interludes. I have almost every song in some kind of Tool playlist. They just all jump between all the extremes. Where Ænima and Lateralus are albums I can listen to from start to finish, this one needs to be fitted into similar sounding/themed playlists for specific moods.
daaaamn i missed the live reaction! i need to be notified when you do fear inoculum how is possible
Tool is quite different from other of the contemporary prog metal acts due to its theme work aren't as direct or cohesive as Dream Theater or even Opeth did. DT fought for the ideal of making complex notes in a single song, Tool opened up spaces into their psychedelic work to make the music seems more open and less catatrophic but a bit angrier and just harsher. 10,000 Days is their Kid A cuz of its atmospheric texture
Thanks for covering my fave Tool album
I don’t get why people can’t just separate the fans from the artist. People refuse to listen to them because they’ll get called pretentious because of some cringe reddit copypasta.
Definitely. I genuinely think it's some of the most unique music out there and a lot of people are missing out due to a preconceived notion
If you haven’t tried them, or heard of them, you should try Puscifer (another of Maynard’s bands).
I feel like Lipan Conjuring is the ceremony with the shaman that leads to the events of Rosetta Stoned
I got the physical album for Christmas, absolutely the funniest looking album in the entire planet. Plus the best album, I've easily listened to the album a thousand plus times. Funny seeing this a few days later.
I love Rosetta Stoned because TOOL proved that they don't have to take themselves seriously to make complex music, also it's Danny Carey's magnum opus
w takes tbh i wish i was there live looked a lotta fun!!!!!
new bradley, today is good day
I appreciate your honesty and simple approach to listening to Tool
im not gonna lie i heard the phub riff in blame hoffman and didnt realise it was a soundbyte and got HYPED cause it was timed just right to be a big drop
I just found this channel after watching the 🍫⭐🐟 video and found it hilarious! Didn't know you could get serious. Tool is a favorite of mine. I will say the Strike clip using that Wii music (Wii music right?) with Busta Rhymes, is too funny!
If you liked the darkness of Ænima you're going to love just how fuckin dirty Undertow gets. It's a pretty dark album and I think you'll love it.
I think once you listen to all of Tools catalog, you appreciate songs like Intention, Lost Keys (and even Veginti Tres) I love when tool gets atmospheric and there are not a lot of tool songs that are calm the entire way through and don't build up, or hit you with something in the middle like Wings Part 1. I PERSONALLY think Brad got caught up in the heavy hitters that when the calm, spacious tracks that are supposed to provide a break, he was just itching to get back to the heavy stuff. I not only never Skip Intention, but it's one of my favorites from them and I revisit it a lot. Tool has a lot of heavy songs. And songs that go back and forth, but not a lot of calm spacious cuts.
I always looked at Rosetta Stoned as like a parody of TOOL fans and how they view TOOL. Maynard has talked a lot about using humour in his songs that TOOL fans never noticed because they talk about the "deep" and "profound" stuff. So this song is about the deep philosophies of alien life, chosen ones and determinism, told through the comedic lens of a fucking drop kick stoner who can only communicate these ideas through pop culture references and doesn't understand why others can't grasp his "intellect" or "deep understanding" from his experience. It's basically how the stereotypical TOOL from the memes would talk about Lateralus using the Fibonacci sequence
Now check out the official video for Vicarious. The godheads from the cover art are in it
I think Lipan Conjuring is cool. It's an Apache prayer chant, about death? And it fits with the album
The Pot was the fist Tool song I ever heard and what got me into the band.
Rosetta Stoned is a straight goated song
If you wanna listen an álbum in Spanish that would make you cry, you should listen a "el arte de morir despacio" by depresión sonora, is a type of ballads but with a characteristic twist of post punk.
I would love you listen at this álbum.
First listens to Rosetta Stoned left me feeling kind of annoyed that I couldn't understand the lyrics, and could never settle into a riff or groove as it kept switching up without a continuation of theme... I just couldn't get a good grip on it. Then I realized "OH... right... like the incoherent ramblings of a guy in a hospital bed after an acid trip". Touché. Once I stopped trying to "learn" it, and just took the ride, it quickly grew on me, and now it's one of my favorites.
Brad: “I’m gonna pause to complain”
Me: “There’s the Brad I know and love”
There is absolutely no way. I was searching for this video out of pure serendipitous naïve curiosity, knowing I would only obtain a blurry reflection of my treasure. But there it lay, glimmering in its beautiful natural sequences of ascension and descension, the act of oscillating through this medium to create a message, only interpretable by those who must or may vibrate at these cosmic frequency. One eye open, the other closed to take in the majesty, as sight is a hinderance to this sonic picture I paint with the brushes bestowed upon me by this chaotic universe. But all of these predictable patterns, unbeknownst to me, led to me finding this center in myself, around which I may orbit in my infantile meditation, shooting beams of hope across this vast void, visible to the naked eye. I am a beacon, a beacon of light - I wander the plains of a cruel being, scattering seeds of my own - So the walls close in, upon this weary head, stretching in incomprehensible geometry, turning into something to be watched and definitely not something to reflect upon, for its impossibility is a sure concept by now - I am a human, unleashed by a motherly tether - So here I am, and here I will remain.
Brad, if you ever see this. The portion of rosetta stones whwre maynard is saying the im the chosen one, ET feeding me oranges part, he is referencing a call that took place in the 90s on the radio show coast to coast AM hosted by art bell in which a guy claims to be an area 51 employee or something and ends up spooking art bell when the call gets interrupted by essential art bells access to broadcasting radio audio is disrupted. Also the flying banana whatever in the skies of area 51 thing is a reference to another caller, perhaps the same one idk
Got my possibly state legal historically illicit substance loaded up and I'm ready to hear this brad take
For all its flaws, I still love this album. There used to be an edit on YT of wings for Marie part 1 and 2 plus viginti tres (sp?) layered together and it was goosebump inducing. I think it was removed though, I haven't been able to find it in a while :(
if yov ever find it come link it here
@PRICC-OM I will for sure! There are a few other similar videos but that mix was really good!
Glad to see Wings/10000 days and Rosetta grew on you!
i love undertow and i hope brad sees what makes it great in its own right, even though it’s not like the later albums in a lot of ways.
I love Rosetta stoned. There's just something about schizophrenic rambling set to intense music that hits different.
Great to see your return to Tool! For your own sake keep taking these breaks between reviewing red headphone music!
Where can I find the extended version of this reaction
hey brad im a fan of your work. idk if u have done any Type O Negative albums but it'd be cool if u reviewed October Rust, 10/10 album. ty
Lol I've been requesting this forever and I'm 6 days late. That's upsetting
I like the pot but I agree that the main phrase with the string bend is a big letdown for how well that intro verse grabs your attention
If you liked Right in Two, check out Beard in Harmony's acoustic cover. Two guys on acoustic guitars and a guy playing a couple drums on a rooftop
We do a bit of trolling in chat but I'm always happy when new people listen to Tool
I will always connect with this album a bunch cuz good ol dead mom club
Is this stream up fully anywhere?? I'm so mad I missed it, these cut down videos are not even close to as good when he's blasting TOOL
