Hope you guys enjoy! I wasn't able to record any more videos today due to time constraint but figured I'd give you guys at least one video. This one was heavily requested and for good reason!

I'm here to learn and enjoy new things while also providing you guys my two cents & recommend some of my favorite music to you guys with hopes that you enjoy it just as much. Spiral out. Keep going.

Wow, one of the best reactions, really enjoying your passion and involvement, some vids out there tend to be too technical, some too hyped, but you are kinda giving it in balance, which I like and appreciate very much. Regarding Descending, its so primal song, more I listen to it I get like freaking visions of some creative force descending into the ocean and almost like igniting the life itself on this beautiful planet of ours. Thank you Samurai, looking forward to more of your reactions 🙏🧘♂️, spiral out!
Good to see you back! I gotta say this one was truly epic in every respect and a top tier request! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. That sounds incredible though, I will keep that in mind next time I listen to it. These kind of descriptions are a testament to TOOL's ability to transport you elsewhere. Thank you milosvitin 😎🤘🏽
@@samuraikaito It's SO good you kinda jus have to bask in the ambulance afterwards.. 😑
Too hyped!? As an official Toolnut, _"too_ hyped" does not compute...😂
Yay, you're reaction is genuine and pure. Thanks for this, authentic appreciation, rad!
😂🤣 people get lost in the reaction and forget the song 😂 derrrrrp but it's okay man 👍🤘
Tool KNOWS how to play - but the reality is that they are gods when it comes to composing songs !!!! Every one a fucking masterpiece.
Bingo! Arrangements are out of this world
Funny that you mention that. I was wondering if they even look like they try or if it’s like it’s part of their breathing pattern. You watch the drum cam for pneuma, and Danny doesn’t even look like he is trying. Almost like he just woke up from a nap and got on stage. Makes me think of Hendrix and how he would make the instrument part of his soul. If any of that makes sense
@@ericj4550 It does make sense - when a talented musician lives in their music world lots of greatness occurs. But, never dismiss the incredible hard work that comes from practice. DC has mentioned many times in interviews over the years all the drum exercises (rudiments) he does for "limb independence" and to build polyrhythms from that. Also, they spend 5+ years in the studio about daily to create the instrumentation for an album - THAT is a lot of work ;)
@@ReflectionTool637 I agree. Practice practice practice don’t get me wrong. I wasn’t trying to imply that they didn’t work hard lol. It just shows the love and dedication they have to their craft. They could, heaven forbid, stop today and be legends.
My favorite music verses ever
Sound the dread alarm
Through our primal body
Sound the reveille
To be or not to be
Rise
Stay the grand finale
Stay the reading of our swan song and epilogue
One drive to stay alive
It's elementary
Muster every fiber
Mobilize
Stay alive
Mobilize. Work together. Do your part. This is the tipping point.
there's something special about the way Maynard is able to deliver exactly what the song is asking for. And with perfect fitting lyrics
This song is a masterpiece. From what I've read, they worked on this song for the better part of a decade, demoing early portions in concerts for years before it was finished
That's insane but it makes sense, everything about this song is so perfect.
I wish I could hear this for the first time again. It truly is a masterpiece.
it actually grew on me the more i listened to it, so for me it's i wish i could hear this for one more time, and then one more time
I have been a tool fan since the beginning and this is one of my all-time favorites
The Sounds they make are both hypnotic and invigorating at the same time.
"invigorating" nice use of that word, I like it.
I gotta agree, that is a great word to describe their music. I heard someone say 'intoxicating' on another reaction video and it is nothing short of both.
Those flies on the walls in a tool studio probably died listening to some of the best music in the world, they died happy
I wouldn't mind going out like that 😂
Same
26.49 talking about geebz? the decomposer... he's so adorable.
He's awesome too! In this example I was referring to Doug Helvering, just couldn't think of his name. If you haven't checked his videos, I definitely would. He figured out the Fibonacci sequence in Lateralus on first listen.
@Big Homie Steve The Metal Head that's a huge compliment man. The guy really knows his stuff, hope to someday achieve his level of music knowledge
Love seeing other top level reactors like Geebz mentioned here as I browse through my first time listening to ANYTHING on this channel here. As a huge TOOL fan from back in high school in 1998, this so far is a great reaction and first listen. Glad I stopped by!
I love that guy so much really changed the way i listen to music. Sometimes anyway, sometimes i just wanna listen to listen but i love how mucj knowledge that guy is just firing out for free
@@samuraikaito Geebz and Doug are both amazing. I love their breakdowns, helps me appreciate Tool in a new way.
“It’s like a wall of sound”. One of best lines to describe Tool.
This reminds me of the first time I heard this unbelievable piece of music. I freaked out too. This is the crown jewel of Fear Inoculum. This song is just ridiculous. Oh and yes, Geebz rulz!🤙Great reaction, man! 👍
Thank you brother! Glad you liked it. I was expecting this song to be good but I was blown away. This and Pneuma really transcend music for me.
@@samuraikaito Agreed, those two and Invincible are the best songs on the album. Can’t wait to see you freak out about their older stuff.....because YOU WILL!😉👍
Was fortunate to be at the Last TooL show in Portland on Mar. 11. They played this song and it was unforgettable. Adams guitar opened up into a big arena was EPIC!
Incredible! Must've been quite the experience!
I was there as well. Every single song was absolutely epic. I replay the concert in my head all the time.
Adam Jones is why I started playing guitar. Love that les Paul sound in Drop D tuning.
That's awesome. His tone is sooo good.
Adam Jones made that guitar make every noise a guitar can physically make! Love this song.
I love how passionate you are... this song is one of my favorites from this album and yeah, your reaction defined how I felt when I first listened to it. This song is... out of this word.
Also, fellow Brazilian here
Great reaction mate. You totally got every amazing section of this song!
Great reaction sir👏...I appreciate your love for the band and it's artistry 💯
I love your Tool reactions
Love this reaction!! Totally genuine and engaged
Love it man! You just got another sub. It really shows that you appreciate Tool's greatness. Please don't take too long of a break from them. They have so much material that I'd love to see you react to. Spiral out...
Don't worry man, won't be more than a few days! Many more TOOL reactions coming. Spiral out.
fire, dont stop my boy
As a fan since ‘93, this song hit me so hard. One of my favorites of their entire catalogue.
I haven’t seen your reaction to Descending until now but I can instantly see that YOU GET IT !!!
Every turn they make, you’re just flipping’
I LOVE IT !!!
One of my favorites by them now!
Glad I found this channel. Great reaction bro! Love the jacket too. And shoutout Brazil. I’m not Brazilian, but really want to visit some day and relax to some Tool on the beach haha. Cheers 🍻
Thanks bro! I'm out here in Brazil now, maybe I'll do just that haha. Definitely make your way out here when you can!
Thanks for reaction man. One of the best TOOL - Descending reactions I have seen.
Amazing vid, you gotta love Tool. As you said, those "wall of sounds" man. Saludos :)
Wow! I absolutely loved yr reaction! It was real. Believe me we know wen ppl are pandering for views. Yr goosebumps r real as well as yr enthusiasm. Nvr saw y b4 but u got my sub! See u on the nxt 1. Love n Light to u and yours...........Leese
Bro you said Pink Floyd and rush in the middle of a tool song.
Subbed. That’s all I needed from your taste of music.
Rock on!
thats exactly how I react to tool songs hahaha
"It's pulling me in!" - Listening to a song called "Descending" :)
Great reaction, not may people pick this song, it's my favourite of the album, hands down!
Couldn't ignore this one, got like 4 requests for it! Didn't disappoint at all. Thank you for the support
Wow, the One of These Days comp on Adam's dirty guitar is spot on. I know the song well but never made the connections. Funny because they both remind me of vehicles too. Racecar for the Gilmour solo, but Adam's one always reminds me of a big motorcycle blowing out black smoke. Funny too how immediately switches to an opposite sound, ultra-clean, high, and digitized. Great reaction.
when this album came out i listen it for few months every day.its my favorite album of all time.i havent listen to tool befor it came out for so many years but when this came out it blowed my sould my mind,it is sooo good
Thanks for the reaction, that was a fun watch. I love when guitars are right up there in the mix enough to really complete the 'wall of sound'. Good music is like worship really, new worlds open up and all that, pretty vivid when done right. Floyd is one of my other all-time favorites, along with most of The Doors stuff. A good solo just really caps things off, and even better when drums, bass, and guitar get a bit of their individual time in the spotlight.
What I got from it was; starts out with life evolving from the ocean, which is why the water is deep at first, then transitions to beach as we crawl out of the sea to try our luck on land in the oxygen. The drive always to stay alive, no matter what organism it is, leading to changes and adaptation. But *we've* reached a point where we either figure out all how to survive together or kill ourselves off while destroying most of the ecosystem and returning the planet back to times before any species could attempt to understand the universe we all inhabit -possibly anywhere in the universe, as far as we know. Hence the closing waves crashing on the beach as life descends.
my fav .from album.love your reaction
I had the pleasure of seeing them pull this song off perfectly live before covid shut everything down. Your reaction was similar to the thousands of us in the audience... We were blown away. Jaws dropped.
Must've been an incredible experience!
this brought me so much joy
Comments like these make my day. Thank you!
I wish I could hear these songs for the first time again. But, then again, I hear something new every time I listen to them.
Keep up the great reactions. You’re up there with Geebz and The Daily Doug.
It's an honor to be compared to those two, so thank you!
The whole, “why can’t I come up with this shit?” Question is relevant. When I was young and first fell in love with these guys they made me want to be a musician or artist of some sort. I’m neither but the inspiration is unforgettable. I keep moving with my mundane life but listening to these guys is something I cherish and look forward to. I just love how they refuse to be background noise that you can just tap your foot to while you do something else. They demand your attention. It’s all kids of real and ridiculously creative. 😎
This is my favorite song off their new album! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
“That’s disgusting!!!” LOL. I love it!!!!
My reaction was practically the same to the second solo ! It’s so good!
TOOL always records their albums..one person at a time...one take...no mistakes. Isn’t that amazing. These guys can cut and master that album in less than a week. But they worked 9 to 5 Monday thru Friday for almost 9 months for this album.
Danny said he's done in about 6 days.
The TOOL ARMY appreciates your reactions.
This Album is one of the Best of our lifetime Bro! 💯
I was awake in the morning this album came out running around and calling stores until I found my copy. I KNEW this music was LEGENDARY!
Nice! Are CD's still selling out in stores on release dates? Gonna give it a full listen during my up coming trip!
@@samuraikaito Yes they are, at select stores. I found my copy at Target. This whole album is Fire. If you haven't reacted to Pneuma on your chanel, please DO! And keep up the good work! I jus subscribed today 👍
@@samuraikaito Invincible is amazing too 😏
@@natedawg8778 Thanks Nate! That means a lot. That's crazy though, I didn't know people were still buying CD's like that (I buy them from time to time). Wonder if there are certain demographics for CD sales. TOOL fans are incredibly loyal and seems like many of them appreciate the production more than average music listeners, which makes sense that they are buying physical copies. I wonder if people are out buying out the new pop albums coming out 😂
But yeah man, 7empest was my first reaction on this channel, go check it out if you haven't! Pneuma has been one of my favorite songs since I heard it earlier this year. Invincible has been requested quite a bit so that will come soon!
@@samuraikaito Yeah I'm 34 and I think I'm part of the last generation that enjoys having a hard copy buying CD's. I also value supporting the band so that's a must. Anyways I appreciate the chat bro. Keep it Real 🤙
Everytime. Goosebumps. This is why I love this band. Wait until you process the lyrics and incorporate them into your own personal experience in life. That is what differentiates this band from ANYONE else. Enjoy the rabbit hole. Subscribed to enjoy someone who appreciates real musicianship realize what they are hearing is an ascension. Enjoy brother. Can't wait for the next reaction.
Thanks for the sub, Donald! I personally can't wait until I truly get familiar with the lyrics and appreciate them on this song. Many more reactions coming, rock on!
This is my favorite song of the past 10 years... Adam I've always thought of as precise and intentional, specifically the tone. You're right that he creates the atmosphere, kind of fearful and inquisitive almost.
Definitely agree, his approach is very interesting and adds a lot to the songs.
Great reactions
I enjoyed your orgiastic experience with this song and agree that their music requires active listening. When I’m driving long distance in my car, the Fear Innoculum album is perfect content to make the time go by.
I’d really like your take on Natalie Merchant’s studio version of Carnival. It kind of has a calypso beat with some great guitar work. Yes, it is far removed from Tool, but the artistry in this song is really compelling and I’d like to witness your take. Thanks for your channel and I’ll be following along with you on your journey.
Love your reactions. Love to see the passion for music. I'd humbly suggest Pneuma Danny Carey Live, next. I think you'll be impressed.
The compositions they make are unreal. I totally get when you said he’s playing in your brain 😂. So true
"a wall of sound" is very accurate...and when you hear it live you literally feel the sound going through your body.
Saw Tool in Indy back in Nov '19 and they debuted Descending then on their tour. That was my first time being able to see them live and it was absolutely the best. I was planning on seeing them more that following summer but stupid covid had to happen.
18:38 "Shih-ca-ca!"
- Ace Ventura
It has been 2 weeks. I've been patiently waiting to see what your next Tool's song is going to be. I really hope your next one is a double-play of push it. First the studio album then the live version of the salival album. Don't worry about the length we will watch it and trust me both versions are completely different
Coming soon! I just want to dive into some other things before going back into Tool, but I have the most requests for Tool so it won't be too long, I promise
Bro great reaction. Spot on with the One Of These Days comparison! Totally different songs but the way the guitar solo drops in hits the same way. Absolutely fire. Danny on the drums sounds like a machine gun just before the last guitar solo it’s ridiculous.
Haha glad you see the comparison. Danny sounding like Rambo out there in the studio 😂
@@samuraikaito Haha Rambo lmao. But yeah for sure, and definitely agree with what you said on the similarities between the Floyd and Tool in general. Can’t remember if it was this reaction or the one for 7empest. Totally different sounds but they both take you on this journey with their music that no other band has ever made me experience.
You should definitely check out the drum cam video of Danny on Pneuma if you haven’t already. It’s practically the only professionally shot footage of them live and it’s just bananas seeing what he does, absolutely next level. There are some pretty good phone cam videos from the FI tour too that are worth checking out. Danny sounds just as amazing playing Descending live as he does on the studio recording.
Love your reaction and I want your jacket.
Thank you, I just slowly add patches to it as time goes on
Salisbury kid here! Just seeing them on the 21st. in Charlotte. I subscribed just because OGT thing. and I enjoyed your reaction. I'm monetized as well. You might find something you like. Keep up the good work.
maynards voice is definitely right up front in this one, much like lateralus this is an anthem and he desperately wants us all to hear this message and i love your reaction to adams very pink floydesque slide solo can't wait to see you react to the solo in 7empest
The "Planet Caravan vibes" you got was the vocal effect. On Planet Caravan, Ozzy's voice was sent through a Leslie speaker, which is a speaker that spins around at different speeds to give a pulsing effect. Here, the effect is most likely emulated digitally, but you never know. The Leslie effect is one of my favorite vocal effects. It's cool that you recognized it as having a similarity to Planet Caravan. Great reaction so far!
Thanks for the info! Wasn't aware of how they achieved the sound, very cool. Thanks for the support!
You're so cute. Love the jacket ^_^ Great video! This is my FAVE off the new album. The passion in this one really brings tears to my eyes.
I really believe this one has to do with climate change. the sound of rising water brings it home for me.
Thank you so much! Btw, I'll respond to your other comments here.
My favorite PF album fluctuates between WYWH, DSOTM and Animals, with The Wall and Meddle following in 4th and 5th.
I'll add Kyuss to the list, have not heard of them! I appreciate the support
@@samuraikaito those are my top 3 too!! currently super in love with wywh, some of the best solos in that one. I can't wait to see you react to Kyuss! They're so chill and quietly badass. Josh Homme's first band. :)
@@MostlyCloudy Yeah, that one usually remains in the 1st spot for me. Feel free to check out my Jet City Woman reaction where I talk about WYWH, or I have a cover of Shine on You Crazy Diamond on my channel as well 😃
@@samuraikaito omg on my way to watch it now!
Oh yeah! GeebZ is the sh*t! 🤙
Favorite Tool song ever...and perhaps my favorite Tool reaction ever
Thank you 🙏
I just bought the ESP LTD 1000 Deluxe w/Evertune. Such a badass guitar.
Enjoy it! Getting a new guitar is always exciting
Your jacket alone made me subscribe lmao, but I enjoyed the reaction and look forward to more content
🙌🏽
Dope reaction. Always looking for that authentic UA-camr who really invests emotionally and appreciates Tool, and isn't just another "me too" channel just looking for the ad revenue, and I can tell you genuinely enjoy Tool.
Keep em comin' bro. For you, given your personality, here are some suggestions for the next reviews:
1: Third Eye
2: No Quarter (Led Zeppelin cover)
3: Hooker with a Penis
Thanks man, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Got the first two on the list already, I'll add that third one as well!
People give Adam shit because he doesn’t go all Eddie Van Halen. He’s got his own style which I prefer. He’s amazing along with all the other members.👍
@Crooked Chi Exactly. That’s like Gilmour. He has more impact with a couple well-placed bends and great tone than 99% of speed players.
I wonder if Eddie Van Halen heard "7empest" before he died?
RIP EVH! I’m with you though, really starting to enjoy his playing a lot more
@@GoldTop57 My man! You said something in another reply that made me think of exactly Gilmour’s playing style. Couldn’t agree more and like Gilmour, the man can bring a godlike solo that makes you feel like you’re watching the universe begin.
@@GoldTop57 1000%
You got a new sub brother! Great reaction! I too am a musician and I am also from Charlotte.
Local support is awesome! Thank you 🙏
DANNY HIT THE GONG!
Sweet Perfection, Thy Name Is Descending!
You know you a REAL Tool fan when you rocking a Tool patch!! 👏
Not a die hard fan... (yet) lol but I love them enough to add them to my jean jacket!
Total eargasm
You might want to listen to more TOOL, they are amazing! My favorite band!
Love your reaction. The sound engineer prospective is cool. What headphones do you use or like? Tool is amazing. You're on point about having to choose to listen to for the first listen. They're so sophisticated in their delivery and placement. How will they elevate their next album, how can they? Truly amazing.
The key of geebz is good. Try the charismatic voice for great vocal analysis. Everybody is amazed and disgusted.
Tool is an exception. Normally there's 1 maybe 2 main artistsin a band. Not Tool. They're all masters.
It's a plea.. A prayer. For us to be a better people collectively for the greater good. We have to find unity. "Mitigate our ruin."
Descending is my favorite song of all time..I've been listening to tool for almost 30 years now since I was 13 years old. And descending is my favorite song of all time!
That's awesome Ian. In 25 years I'll be in the same boat haha
Human-caused planetary catastrophes and collectively changing course to avert complete annihilation. That's what this song is about.
Makes sense. Maynard's writing is so poetic
I'm glad they talk about the important stuff
Not just this song, but the entire album. It's sort of like their Litany Against Fear, a sort of inoculation against the fear, if you will, so that we can act rather than remain paralyzed in apathy.
Adam Jones is so much better than you realize. An interesting fact about him is that he grew up best friends with Tom Morelo of Rage Against The Machine.
@@samuraikaito His work speaks for itself. On their first couple albums he was doing some cool trickery. It’s just that he happens to be in a band with three very good musicians.
I have a request for you react to. It’s a band that Tool have thrown praise on for years. They are two piece(sometimes three piece) band with bass and drums and they create a wall of sound. The band is Big Business and a good track to start with is Grounds For Divorce.
He’s a great player. His genius lies not in trying to shred 10 notes per second of course. That’s not his thing, and I’m glad for that. He’s a master of composition, tone, and knowing exactly what a song needs. Creative as hell, and just an artist at his core.
Commie Morello
@@GoldTop57 You speak on a important part imo, and that's Adam not trying to play as fast as possible. I'm self taught on guitar, with plenty of influences. Adam Jones is my biggest influence regarding composition. I played on band in high school, and I learned that music isn't just playing as many notes as possible. Everything is composed in such a way to create an emotion. This is largely placed on the pace of a piece. Having a note here and and note there every few seconds can create huge suspenseful moments before diving into organized chaos. My original pieces aren't fast, but they are methodical and precise to create the atmosphere I want for my music.
@@GoldTop57 Him and Tom taught themselves their own styles which is amazing. They both know they’re way around a guitar as well as anyone in the world. It’s the effects and riffs they can put together that really enhance any song they’re writing. Two of my favorite guitar players ever
I'm upset that I'll NEVER hear this song or the album for the first time ever again. Wish I had saved it for at home listening, and I wish I had an amazing set of CANS like you. I do have the Sennheiser wireless buds and their gaming headset but want to get my hands on an open backed set like you have.
Got these at a huge discount when I worked at Best Buy, but whatever let's you enjoy it is what matters! You can find some used pairs on Reverb or eBay for a decent price and I know MassDrop has their own version that's essentially the same but cheaper.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching your completely appropriate reaction to this. I was wondering if you picked up when Danny hit the gong? You reacted to it but I'm not sure you knew what you were hearing. Thanks for this and new Sub here
Was that around the 21:00 mark? I definitely heard it but it didn't hit me that it was a gong! Thanks for pointing that out and for supporting the channel!
@@samuraikaito I'll give you full credit though it was at 20:53 to be exact. Great call!
Planet caravan was my exact thought when I first heard this.
Glad I wasn't the only one 👌🏽
I also love that kinda Boomerang effect at 10:03
Man Clockwork Indigo and a Telecaster? Subscribed.
A man of culture, I see. Thanks for the sub!
Adam Jones just never stops developing this composition. How much work does he put into getting it right? I have been playing along with this track for a few days, and the guitar is very tricky indeed.
I've yet to learn a TOOL song on the guitar. Not sure why I never gave it a shot. I know a couple on the bass, but I'll have to try to learn some on guitar as well
Fun fact: the new Tool logo becomes an inoculation syringe when folded in half along it's vertical axis. Funny times we're in.
Tool absolutely deserve the sort of reaction you gave. LOL! They are absolutely fantastic aren’t they. The good part is that their songs get better the more you listen. I also see that you’re using a great pair of cans which is what Tools music deserves.
i completely agree that Tool’s music requires your full attention. It is not background music and I think many who fail to connect with Tool are not normally very active listeners of their music.
Couldn't agree more! I love the detail and nuances you can pick out with headphones but with Tool and a lot of metal in general, I prefer to listen on speakers as I find it to be a lot less fatiguing. Listening to a whole hour of tool through headphones can sometimes give me a headache 😅 as was the case with my Undertow reaction. Nonetheless they are in another league
20:53 Your reaction to the moment when the "gong" first hits.. It was almost like a stunned silence... That part of the song gives me chills everytime (along with "Mobilize, stay alive").. This is my absolute favourite Tool song of all time and I find myself watching reaction videos just to see reactor's expressions when this song (well all of their other songs) hit hardest.. I will never get tired of seeing people hearing Tool songs for the first time..
I listen to this song quite a bit now and "Mobilize" line always gets me. It gives me an incredible feeling every time! This one is in my top 3, probably behind Lateralus and Schism
Probably second best track they’ve laid down (The Grudge is unbeatable) composition, performance, and production.
Rosetta Stoned is the pinnacle of Tool for me. Takes a while to have your ears trained to get to that level. For The Grudge, I immediately was drawn to it and it is a masterpiece of course, but the longer I listen to Tool the more I move towards those songs that I didn't like at first. Rosetta Stoned was just a blast in my face at first and I had no idea what all that noise was. I honestly didn't like it. But after months (and even years) after listening, Rosetta Stoned's 8 minute buildup to "Overwhelmed as one would be" is Tool at its finest.
19:28 unmistakably I hear the bass and that synth calling back to the sound of The Grudge off Lateralus.
20:33 is straight up Pokemon battle music 🤣 "A WILD ADAM APPEARS"
there was a thirteen year gap between this album and the preceding one. that's a long time for a band that were already masters of their craft and the engineers to progress their techniques, and the way they work means that sections that appear on fear inoculum have been worked on since the beginning. that's over thirty years ago. you are young. do what they did - keep going.
🙌🏽
Hey dude - great reaction :)
In terms of the song meaning, its always a bit open with Tool. But I believe its about how our civilisation is essentially sleeping through our own ruin. As we destroy the planet, as the woke wars continue, as the politicians continue to dick about...etc. it certainly gives me goosebumps to think of it this way when listening! He's urging us to unite
When the slide guitar comes in, and you start celebrating, for some reason, I heard Bill Burr in my head saying, "Shit fire and save the matches!"
"Falling isn't flying" - from the novel Ishmael by Daniel Quinn
I like this guy, I'm subbing 🙃
🙌🏽🙌🏽
Have you ever heard of Kyuss? They're amazing 'stoner' Desert Rock from the early 90s. If you haven't listen to them check out a couple of tracks. An older one is: Apothecaries' Weight and off their BEST [in my opinion of course] album: Space Cadet. :)
You need to do the Pneuma drum cam video... You will see Danny do all that Danny does.
I thought I was the only one who heard the resemblance to one of these days. It’s spot on!
Wonder if Adam drew inspiration from that song
You should give Porcupine Tree a listen, either Anesthetize or Arriving Somewhere But Not Here, I love Tool and I also have come to really love Porcupine Tree's stuff as well.
Have known the name for a while but never heard anything, I'll definitely give it a listen
If I die in a plane crash, I will be listening to this song as we go down. Fuck it.
I don't blame you lmao
não sabia que vc era br kkkkk acho muito daora ver sua animação escutando, foda!
Tool e foda!
The song is supposedly rumored to be a Sequel to Aenema, which the latter they talk about a bill hicks line that LA needs to drop into the ocean and that well "see you down in Arizona Bay". Descending may or may not be about climate change and how in the song the flooding has already happened, hence that ocean waves lapping intro in the Bay of Arizona (merkin vineyards, the new coast in Jerome Arizona). The Entire song is a literal "Call to arms" against our own destruction. To sound the alarm of existential dread because weve done this to ourselves it is of "our own making". We have a common motivation...Survival..."One drive, to STAY ALIVE" 7empest is the final song on the album but honestly Descending should have been, Maynard didnt sing through half the song so if this were the final song him stopping half way is kinda like "I have nothing more to say, what else is there to say besides MOBILIZE STAY ALIVE" its a literal and figurative "mic drop" of a song!
Hmmm may be my new favorite reaction channel! Please do, A Farewell to Arms by Machine Head!
I really appreciate that! I'll get this added to the list 👌🏽
Joe Barresi on production, that's how you get all thenoisefrom 3 instruments.. Tool are legends, all of em, but compare older albums to this one or 10000 days.. Joe has his own value on a record, check out Culling Voices out of this album, no other tool song like it, i think it's criminally underrated.. true ride.. another great reaction man.
