Take all the time you need...stop as many times as you want. ToolArmy will watch an hour long reaction to one song. And we will love it.
Amen 🙌
Yes!
Can confirm.
👀
I been listening to this since the day it dropped & have never gotten sick of it
I'm so happy watching you go down the Tool rabbit hole! It's always amazing seeing people discover and appreciate their music.
I love the pancake flip analogy! Haha. Great reaction to TOOL again! 46 and 2 refer to our chromosomal count and evolving from 44 and 2 to 46 and 2 as a higher level of conscious being. You like shadow work and Carl Jung was the inspiration behind these lyrics. You stepped into the TOOL rabbit hole and got bit by the snake!
Glad you enjoyed it
It’s so much fun to watch someone discover and enjoy music! Good energy, good reaction. If you love music, you’ll love Tool.
Thank you for commenting! This motivates me further
Thank you for being a true “reactionist “ and not just an entertainer for the sake of $$. Stay true to the craft and I will keep watching you. If you haven’t reacted to “Right In Two” then I highly recommend it and it’s also a heavy thought provoking song.
Love that one!!
Yes Right in Two!! LOVE THAT TRACK!
Your headphones are just fine. The vocals are indeed mixed in lower than you are probably used to.
Many have theorized that this album front to back is a journey of self-awareness and spiritual awakening. It's definitely in my top 5 favorite albums of all time. Enjoying watching you react!
8:07 - I personally like that you pause, share with us your feelings and then go back to point out the parts that you really liked. Most of us may have heard these songs hundreds of times, but this is your first time listening to them and seeing how excited you are of them makes me feel so good! Thank you for your reactions! May you never change!
Exactly. It's like we get to see it, hear it, experience it vicariously all over again like it was new to us. We feed off his enthusiasm, remembering our excitement the first time we heard these songs (I loved his review of The Pot as well).

:D
The best line is, "...like you set it on five like you making pancakes or something." That is by far the BEST line I've heard, out of 100 various TOOL reaction videos, describing the opening of this song. Perfect!!
It warms my heart when the younger generation discovers Tool. The best band to ever walk this earth.
"It's like you got 4 masters, who decided to put their egos aside, and make some great music" - perfect description of TOOL. Well done.
Moisturized. Lol. I love the words you use to describe what you hear. Great reactions, buddy. Love to hear these songs for the first time again through your ears.
I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction! Such an amazing song! My license plate used to be 46NTOOL 😂
Huge appreciation for your intelligent comments on these tool songs, hoping you continue your journey bro
You gotta see the live version of Tool Pneuma with the camera on the drummer. The guy is a 4 armed drum devil
Yes, but please do the studio version first. It's absolute perfection!
Absolutely do the studio version before the live one.
You have such great insight and interpretations, thank you for reacting to Tool. I'd recommend Vicarious and Pneuma as great next songs to listen to
To me..... to put it simply, this song is about evolving..
You have to listen to their song The Grudge. Intense drumming, intense scream..GENIUS! Let go of grudges..they will destroy you!
Great to see the reactions!! I'd recommend you taking a look at Vicarious, Right In Two and Pushit - some of my fave TOOL songs.
I'll check it out!
Oh, I agree with the recommendation of Push It. I will add to that recommendation, and say that you should find the video of the live reworked version of Push It. A very cool take on the original. Should listen to the original and then do a reaction for the live version, I’m sure it will be 🔥
The only thing better than listening to tool is seeing someone else discovering tool. The joy your reactions are giving me is awesome. Enjoy the journey
Vocals are mixed low by design, and this occurs through their entire discography.
You're commentary is so good. You actually give meaningfull thoughts rather than just, "i liked that." Keep it up bro.
Appreciate that
The “moisturized” sound is a Chorus effect on the bass.
there is a lyric video to this song that breaks down the Yungian Shadow work and explains the meaning of 46 & 2. its very ynteresting and worth the watch
Sir, you may run it back as much as you desire. It’s so enjoyable to see someone experiencing Tool lyrically and musically. Please continue.
As someone once said, "Tool are masters at creating tension then giving you an outlet to release it!".
Music is art, there are many good artist, but there are few masters. Tool are masters of the art of music. Not many can do what they do.
With that said, if you haven't seen the O'Keefe kids cover of this, you are really missing out. It's amazing.
Funny thing, when ever I am angry or sad I jump in the car and I blare songs like this and sing them as loud as I can. And I instantly feel better. That is the greatness of hard rock and metal music
Goosebumps!!!! More Tool please. Do The Grudge or Descending next.
They mix their music so that all instruments are balanced. One being Maynard’s voice. They do a good job of sharing the spotlight with each other. Especially Adam Jones on guitar. You rarely hear a traditional guitar solo from him.. a rare band where the bass and drums are thus highlighted.
Just discovered your channel (because of Tool), but you have potential! Astute, smart observations as well as great physical / emotional reactions. Very cool. MORE TOOL!
It always makes me happy to see new Tool fans being born. Tool is special to me in ways that music usually isn't.
I really like your take on them and how you look at music. There is a great rabbit hole listen to Push It from the AEnima album. Then listen to Pushit from the Salival set. It is the same song, but flipped and rediscovered.
My first Tool concert was magic. Before the last song Maynard said, "I want you take all the feelings you have tonight - I want you to go home and create something positive"
Just beautiful, man
Great reaction!! Very genuine!! You should definitely do a reaction to Danny Carey of Tool playing their song "Pneuma" live. Maybe listen to the studio version first, but definitely need to give that live drum video a go as well.
I don't know if saw the sign at the entrance of Tool rabbit hole, but it says,
'forget everything you thought you knew about music and please don't feed the rabbits.'
This is one of my favourite tool songs. At any stage of my life, it has relevance. If I need to get my shit togeather, if I need a lift, if i need comfort....this track. Love it. Great reaction.
That pancake analogy is absolutely perfect
Another fantastic reaction. This song always lulls me in with its mellow intro and then I end up being pummeled like a punching bag at the end. I'm always out of breath once the song is over. I f'n love it! Seeing this one live is amazing!
Absolutely! The projections for this one put me straight into a trance.
As great as this older stuff is, their newest album is pure genius. Looking forward to your reactions.
I've watched a lot of UA-camrs get sucked into a Tool hole, but this might be my favorite one so far!
Spiral Out! Keep Going!
The premise is humans would deviate from the current state of human DNA which contains 44 autosomes and two sex chromosomes. The next step of evolution would likely result in human DNA being reorganized into 46 autosomes and two sex chromosomes.
It is designed to be like that,it’s done intentionally in the mix …..Maynard has said he wanted his voice to basically be the 4th instrument & not put way out front…..amazing artists
The song is basically about introspection and growing one’s psyche into maturity and integrity. To become a whole being where the light and dark aspects of your personality are faced, accepted, and integrated. It is a painful process, as any exercise is. When one lifts weights, their muscles tear to grow back stronger. When one dissects and questions their beliefs, self story and ideologies, there is a period of discomfort as the ego resists all challengers.
To learn one must first acknowledge their own ignorance.
The lyrics man...the lyrics...its about evolving into a higher being.... becoming more than..... really deep.
I find it deeply enjoyable watching your journey of exploration. Thanks for inviting us along!
It’s weird the enjoyment i get out of seeing someone I’ve never met listen to a song I’ve heard a thousand times.
My favorite songs off each album.
Jerk-Off
Intolerance
Pushit
The Grudge (my favorite of all time)
Vicarious
Pneuma
These are must reactions.
Tool is more of an experience than a band. Continue down the rabbit hole and Spiral Out...
Totally agree Tool has the best outros.
Great reaction….your breakdown was on point !
“Spiral Out Keep Going”
🔧🌀🌀🌀👁🌀🌀🌀🔧
"46 & 2" is referencing the (theoretical) next phase of the human genome.
Well when I was a teenager when this came out I never expected all these years later I would have somebody who just got introduced at all actually break it down to where I understand it not just jam to it lol that’s pretty cool! This is driving music and workout music! Tool is just different from everybody else. I would consider it industrial style music like NIN but they stand alone. Some of the drum work and guitar work reminds me of Pantera also. All three awesome bands obviously!
Music like this doesn't need a category, it's unique!
Wings for Marie + 10,000 Days in one video. Don't' be afraid to cry your eyes out.
Maynard's a genius! FACTS..
Run it back as much as you want! I listen to this song on repeat all the time haha.
Tool was more fun before the internet when we had to try to figure out what the lyrics actually were and then later on figure out their meaning, instead of having the written lyrics ahead of time
Since you are going down to TOOL rabbit hole you HAVE to check out Sober and also the Danny Carey drum cam version of Pneuma. Amazing band. Glad you have discovered them!!
Especially the Sober LIVE from Reading '93! (Tool - Sober Live (Pro Shot) Remastered)
His new favorite band!!
When I listen to Tool so do my neighbors!
Another fun tidbit is Ænima combines anima, the soul, and enema, to clean all the S out. It can be that shadow work or LA being washed away, you come out clean the other side.
When you get ready to take a turn, listen to Wings for Marie Pt 1 and then Pt 2. It was written about this mom, Judith Marie. I’d also tell you to next dive into A Perfect Circle after you’ve explored Tool for a while.
You have discovered one of the most interesting and technically proficient bands of all time. Enjoy the ride.
Loving watching you discover TOOL my personal favs are "eulogy" and "right in two"
Tool is cinema for the ears!
I think you’d enjoy seeing their live performance of Sober.
I love this song. Ty for reacting. I’m going for a binge watch your Tool reactions. Lovely
Such a gooood reaction! I love how i see your thoughts move through your face! To me Tools outro's are like exclamation marks.
Hoping you do Stinkfist. It's not an easy one to do cuz they lyrics are pretty crazy. It got A LOT of people trippin when it first came out, if you do it and hear the lyrics you'll understand why. Like all things with Tool, it's not quite what it seems on it's face. Great song.
Youre definitely understanding the language that youre viewers understand. All of us, right there with you. And we love to see you discover it.
You might be ready for Lost Keys + Rosetta Stoned.
They need to be listened to back to back because they tell a story. It's some of Tool's most intense work and takes you on an incredibly visceral descent through the process of mental institutionalization.
Danny has remarked that he considers it the most difficult drum work in their repertoire.
TOOLARMY 🤘🤘🤘💯🔥🔥
Eulogy. Fantastic song!! It’s my favorite!
my man, as a fledgling just coming into the tool library of music i can only say that you have chosen wisely. Tool isnt just a band you listen to, they are a band you LISTEN to. it takes a few sittings to fully grasp the music, let alone the lyrical content. For example, what other bands would take psychology theories of the mid 1900s and write a banger like this one. Every song is a journey with highs and lows and i love to watch TOOL virgins react. Living "vicariously" through you...
Tool Army is here with you my bro!
Man, your TOOL reactions are solid!! Can't wait for you to get to "Lateralus" and "the Grudge"!
I got this album as a teenager when it came out… still smashing it like I did the day it launched. Tool forever!
I love good outros too. This song happens to have one the best intros ever, one of the best middles ever, and probably the best outro ever. ✌️
4:20 - DUDE! You're familiar with Jungian psychology and Shadow Work?! Hell yeah. I had started typing the introduction to the Shadow and then just heard you referencing it.
For anyone unfamiliar: it's referring to the Jungian concept of The Shadow, it's all about the Self that isn't acceptable to the Self and/or Society. All the parts of You that you can't/don't accept. However there's an enormous amount of power to be found in integrating the Shadow.
Forty-six & 2 is talking about an idea that we're moving from a unified unconsciousness (the Dreamtime of the aboriginal people, at forty-four total chromosomes [according to Drunvalo Melchizedek which the song is referencing*]) through to our current uncomfortable situation where we're not fully conscious and not fully integrated (sitting at forty-six total chromosomes) to the future, another 2 steps into an integrated and unified consciousness. Digging in muscle memory to claw our way to a new level of being.
Vicarious, The Grudge and Lateralus would be good options for future reactions. Another great reaction ;)
Also worth a watch, reaction or not, is Ryan O'Keefe music studio kids covering this song. The girl singing has a great voice and kids on instruments nail it
Tool is one of my favorite bands. Since the first time I heard them. So cool to watch people discover how amazing they are.
Your absolute joy at 12:48 turning into an emotional experience at 13:06 is one of my all time favorite UA-cam moments. When you're ready for some even heavier emotions, research a bit about Wings for Marie parts 1 and 2 and give them a shot. Recommend doing them with lyrics. Welcome to Tool my friend.
Oh heck yes!! I don't listen to either of those often because I get all teary eyed!
2nd reaction ive seen by him. He seems to truly enjoy Tool. Good reaction. Keep it up bro. There are so many, many songs to get to. You wont be disappointed.
Really insightful analysis of the lyrics! Living vicariously through you getting to hear these songs for the first time is fun
Some great outros on their songs The Grudge and Vicarious.
It's because it correlates with h. The snake behind me
hissing/shedding skin stepping thru my old wounds
Thoroughly enjoyed your analysis and appreciation of this track. Going to more TOOL from you! ❤ from MN.
My roommate and I got this, at the local record store, the day it came out... We're old; we were in college in 1996...
It's about the path to enlightenment
Subbed because I love Tool and you are doing such an amazing job on a breakdown...xxx
As far as the vocal mix for early Tool recordings - yes, you are correct that was intentional by design.
Tool has been releasing music since 1992 and it wasn't until 2019 that they actually included the official lyrics with an album release.... its intent was that fans would listen closely to figure things out on their own. There were early versions of online message groups that would debate song meanings and what the lyrics were.. it added a level of new curiosity and invested fans much more than usual.
They also wanted to replicate what their live shows sounded like. Early on Maynard would start off songs appearing very meek and quiet at the start of songs, before building into a powerful roar - which made their live sound much more dynamic.
tool changed my life during a very difficult time processing childhood trauma. Songs inspired me to look inside and start thinking about all my shadows from my past! Deep and excellent music and musicianship!
Right in two. That song i have the feeing you will love.
Never seen a first time reactor to Tool absorbing their music like you do, my friend... This is way more than just going down the rabbit hole...
Definitely new subscriber here! 👍
As a TOOL head, I get chills seeing people experience TOOL for the first time. And then riding along with you as you go down the rabbit hole is like having a guide on a trip.
And you’re asking the questions, and you’re going down the rabbit hole with ravenous hunger. I’m here for it.
“What is Forty six and 2?” That my friend, is just the top of the rabbit hole. I’m glad you’re enjoying the ride, buckle up, it’s about to get wicked!
New sub. I enjoy your reactions and going down this road. Tool, in my opinion, is its own genre. Nobody sounds like them. I recommend Pneuma, both the studio version where you can break down the lyrics, but the drum cam video of Danny Carey focuses solely on his skill on the drums. I wouldn’t say he makes it look easy, but it’s so easy for him. He’s a master at his craft. Good work, Mug.
I hope you'll check out Lateralus from Tool soon. The music and lyrics/vocals are all based on and around the Fibonacci sequence/golden ratio, where each number in the sequence is the sum of the previous two numbers (1,1,2,3,5,8,13, etc). It's the definition of a genius piece of music.
That was largely an accident that they leaned into once they noticed the similarity. Maynard at this point has basically disowned the concept as a juvenile joke.
As others have said, Tool fans are not typically going to be bothered by the journey to discover and understand. As Tool songs go, this one is pretty straight-forward musically, although they do a great job of keeping it interesting. I've always thought he was talking about evolution in both senses. That we are a product of where we've come from, but also that we can intellectually evolve as well. The main riff is written to feel like a constant build. The overall song is constantly building. Evolving constantly toward enlightenment perhaps (?) at the end.
From Chat GPT4: "46 and 2" is a song by the American progressive metal band Tool. The lyrics of the song are open to interpretation and can have various meanings depending on the listener. The title itself refers to a theory proposed by psychologist Carl Jung, suggesting that humans have the potential to evolve beyond their current state of being.
The song explores themes of personal growth, transformation, and the idea of shedding one's old self to become something greater. It touches upon concepts like shadow integration, the shadow self, and the process of individuation.
Ultimately, the meaning of "46 and 2" may differ for each listener, as it can be interpreted through personal experiences and perspectives. It's a complex and thought-provoking piece that invites introspection and reflection.
Even the outro mean something…. Well said.
H ... Haunting and the build ups are incredible... would love to see your reaction... I can listen to that song everyday and never get tired of it... like most Tool songs
I love the appreciation for the phenomenal talent and production intelligence combination that we hear with tool! You should check out the first two tracks on 10,000 days album… Vicarious and Jambi… the way they transition into each other is pretty great! Also go see the band live if you get a chance… best show I’ve ever been to.. bucket list material
This is my favorite TOOL song. I think it has something to do with the anticipation you talked about. I just can't wait for the next verse, the next moment. Great bass work, incredible drums, deep lyrics, and it just kicks ass.
