    From a musical standpoint Fear Innoculum is completely unparalleled to the rest of their work. The music has grown up and evolved exponentially with the band with each release, amazing that they have gone from such a generic sound on Undertow to some of the most complex music ever recorded on Fear Innoculum. Tool's brilliance is something to be treasured, if the aliens ever come to Earth from a distant Galaxy we should give them Fear Innoculum as I think it is the greatest representation of the creativity of human consciousness ever conceived musically. Simply incredible! 🤯🤯

      I agree with you, Andrew. I recently discovered this album, after knowing just a few random songs by them. Now I’m familiar with all their albums. This one just grabs me a bit more than the others. At least right now. (Music tends to follow along closely with my life events.) Your comment also reminded me of a question I asked my family a few years back. I asked them what achievement of mankind would they share with an alien species to describe who we truly are as a species? My first immediate thought was music. It was interesting to see what other people thought of though too.

      I tend to agree with you about your assessment of the band as a whole, however I feel the exact opposite about Fear Inoculum and feel like it is far and away their weakest album. It seems like the rest of their music is a 'point/counterpoint' of the expectations of the listener. But I get the feeling that the inspirations for this album are just old Tool albums, which really seems to water down the sound. After listening to the entire album, I just really wanted to listen to 10,000 Days again, because I feel like this was just '10,000 Days lite'.
      You're obviously entitled to your opinion and I can't really refute that in any way, but just thought I would share my opinion. This band is incredible and it's interesting that they don't have a definitive 'best' album like many other artists do, to me it highlights the 'personability' (best made up word I could come up with) of the music.

      Can’t say best ,, but can agree that anyone not moved by them has not listened...at least enough or correctly. I have to listen to some songs and even albums several times before it finally hits me where they intended or where I needed it. Tool looks at their audience as artists and expects them to put effort into their interpretation of the music, which may require multiple listens and possibly the right life situation. Fear innoculum the song itself, was immediately moving to me. I cannot say that for the rest of the album although I can say that I have put in enough effort to now be moved by all songs on the album. But it’s till not like Lateralus or even 10,000 days for me. But it is excellent and a phenomenal album.

      Came to make this comment because saying bongos twice triggered me to pause the video.
      I'm pretty sure it's two different tabla sets - one higher & one lower. Maybe a khol or something? But my first listen, I could tell it was really Tool when I heard those tablas come in. Bongo playing has a lot going for it, but it doesn't have as sharp of a bass-snare sound as a tabla. The high drum is played very fast (like a roll) or with a strong attack (like a rim shot), & the low drum is played against the palm to raise or lower the tone.
      Then, in the bridge, Danny Carry mimics the palm bend technique (not sure if he used his hand or the other stick, or one of his octopus tentacles) with his toms to create those bendy tones.

    • @clear_gray_sky539
      @clear_gray_sky539 4 роки тому +6

      northspack in classical Indian music they don’t have time signatures instead they use beat cycles . A lot of the beat cycles have an odd number of beats . Also in the middle of the cycle at any point you can insert another beat cycle then finish where you left off in the original cycle . The way you physically play tabla is harder than probably all other hand drums because of the types of strikes you make on the drums the beat called na for instance your finger hits the rim of the small tabla while ur ring finger lightly mutes the surface of the drum and the speed at witch most songs are played is very fast . Just youtube someone playing tabla and you will see what I mean . I play a lot of instruments including a drum set . I have a good set of tablas and its a very difficult instrument theirs lots of little kids on youtube that can play better than I will ever be able to !

      not true at all. Tool is more or less a cult band. No radio AirPlay, no MTV, just die hard fans.

    Nicely done! I know working musicians that struggle with Tool because of the changing time signatures and use of polyrhythms.
    You talked about one of the major keys to understanding and learning Tool songs - the simplicity underneath the sonic complexity. I struggled as well until I stumbled onto that element some time ago - but I couldn't explain it to others as simply as you! (FWIW, dynamics is the other concept they use masterfully - and also hard for me to explain to others in simple terms)
    Now don't leave us hanging too long for part 2, where the real the fun begins!

On Descending, I can't stop hearing a battle between the protagonist and antagonist in the solos that make up much of the song. First the hero is losing...but he comes back to win and then walks off into the ocean.

It's fast becoming my favourite Tool album as it gets better with each listen.

    Songs on this album are kinda like geometrical shapes one above the other forming a bigger shape. Here on Fear Inoculum, later on in the song we hear how Justin and Adam exchange sections of the song while the other plays a different part and still accents fall into the same place. They kinda foreshadow the whole song from the beginning, they respect this shapes they presented before and end the three of them (Adam, Justin and Danny) at the same time. Every new section in the song plays while an older riff is playing so there's no cut in the shape the song was having before. In Pneuma we can see this, as an example, with the notes Carey plays at the intro and how they're revisited with the bass and synth in the middle instrumental section. There are this riffs or sections in the album played by one intrument (or sung by Maynard) and later another instrument plays that same part to add and build the song over the previous parts. It's been interesting finding this references inside the songs about previous moments of that same song. My favorite song in which I exercise this is without a doubt Invincible. A song so layered that it's nuts.

    • @increase9896
      @increase9896 4 роки тому +2

      100% agree with Invincible. When I first heard invincible there were all these parts in the beginning that I expected were being foreshadowed for callbacks later on in the song... its really powerful when you hear something specific return in the song and usually it returns sounding more dynamic or with additional flair but still familiar. Such an enjoyable participatory listen every time if you are paying attention. At the same time I enjoy just zoning out to their songs and rocking

    Love your videos; it has helped me understand a lot about how artists work their craft.
    With respect to Tool, I’ve always thought their music has a sort of modern classical music element to it (especially with all the polyrhythms and unusual time signatures) but that from a compositional perspective, it’s almost as if they are using structures straight out of the symphonic masters (in particular, I have thought they use Sonata Allegro form frequently, albeit somewhat modified, particularly where the recapitulation would be.) I was wondering if you thought about anything like this, especially in light of your repeatedly using the term “development” for the section following the second chorus (which is where I would say this song moves from exposition to development if we try and consider it as a sonata allegro form movement)? Several of the new songs I feel fit that structure well (especially if it is amended to include intro and coda sections bookending the meat of the movement, so to speak) and I’ve used it as a way of better understanding (I think) Tool’s music since I became familiar with how the sonata allegro form works while I was at college (so basically since Lateralus).
    Sorry if this is a long message but I hope you (or others) get a chance to respond as I’d love to get your thoughts on this.
