“You feel it move across your skin” it gives everyone chills listening to that song. Everyone gets them and they knew it would and wrote it right in the lyrics. Crazy genius
I'm so glad you guys checked out that breakdown video after. Imagine all that context you wouldn't have had. Tool is so good. Their latest album is a masterpiece.
Unpopular opinion: I like some of the oldest stuff better. Regardless newest is amazing as always. Also best live show I’ve ever been to hands down. Not even close. Edited because using phone at work and I suck at typing on phone lol.
@@alaniasdruid8616 Honestly I don't even know if that's unpopular. I think it all comes down to personal preference, really. Their whole catalogue was made by masters. I'll admit there's some of the older *tracks* that I think might be better, but if I'm going to sit down and put on a Tool album, it'll be Fear Inoculum.
Wow you two didn’t get anything right. Try the fucking lyrics, the concept, do homework. And repelled by the video. Shut your eyes and listen.”the melody is fire.” Whoa. Deep.
@@TheSyncos Fear Inoculum is a ridiculously awesome album, but Lateralus is still the masterpiece in my opinion. And yes, best live show hands down. I've never been to one that didn't blow me away.
Here for Tool, suprised and impressed you checked out the explanation video. Alot of reactors 'use' Tool to get people to their channel, and do not really show any 'true' interest in the band. Lateralus is a difficult one for any first time listener 👏👏👏 Subscibed!
The bones of your finger (including the bone from your knuckle to your wrist) follow the Fibonacci sequence. We have 8 fingers in total, 5 digits on each hand, 3 bones in each finger, 2 bones in 1 thumb, and 1 thumb on each hand. Many flowers also exhibit the Fibonacci sequence.
The truly amazing thing is that despite all the heavy use of mathematical concepts and structure of the song, if you weren't aware of any of it, you'd have no idea because the song itself sounds so good. Its the perfect balance between holistic intuition and extreme craft.
Tool's "Lateralus" is a progressive rock song known for its distinct time signatures and corresponding lyrical patterns.3 The song was originally titled "9-8-7" for its time signatures, but it turned out that 987 was the 16th number of the Fibonacci sequence.03 The first verse of the song begins at 97 seconds, which is approximately 1.618 minutes, and each verse is 55 seconds long, which is the 11th number in the sequence.012 The syllables in those verses match the sequence too, peaking at 13 (coincidentally, the same number of total album tracks) and then again in a descending order thereafter.12 The syllables Maynard sings in the first verse follow the first six numbers in the pattern, ascending and descending in the sequence 1-1-2-3-5-8-5-3.
Interestingly this album used to give me anxiety. Listening to mantra, parabola, ticks and leeches, lateralus, reflection (one of my favorites) ,triad, and of course that last bullshit track lololol
I was fortunate to have seen TOOL in 2013 for the Lateralus tour, they were amazing. Now I just bought my ticket for Feb. 5th 2024 in Denver Colorado. These guys absolutely Shred it. 🎵
They have evolved over the years. That’s why there are late gaps in album releases. The band sends Menard the music, then He writes and arranges the songs. Danny Carey is one of the best drummers of all time. The ever changing time signatures, adds to the unique sound. And I believe the drummer and the bass player make all of their video’s.
😍 Thank you for this reaction, love this song from Tool! These are some possibilities (visually) of a DMT trip gone right. Been a Tool fan since the 90's.
Fribbinocci sequence is found everywhere, whether it be a leaf on a plant, branches on trees, flowers, even in the process of cell duplication that forms man in the womb. Deep stuff.
Hello from Crete isnland - Greece. First of all , this is a masterpiece from Tool. The whole album is mindblowing! Second , on 4:26 in the woman's hand says " πολύτιμος" which is Greek word and means "precious". Keep up the good reactions and stay positive.
I interpret this as him singing about the importance of human curiosity. We always want an answer to things unknown(ie. New experiences). Instead of going in blind with curiosity(the innate urge to push the envelope, cross the line) and use our intuition to understand a new experience, we tend to overthink and overanalyze things with logic beforehand. If we only thought and analyzed everything new to us, we wouldn't have curiosity. Without curiosity, we would miss out on new and random experiences. Without experiencing new and random things, we won't have a developed intuition to help us make sense of new things. If we don't have the ability to make sense of new things, we would always fear the unknown. With fear blocking us from approaching the unknown, humanity would no longer advance. Embrace the random. Ride the spiral of your curiosity into the unknown, and keep riding it to the end. Maintain a healthy balance between curiosity and logic. Too much curiosity is a danger to the body. Too much logic is a danger to the soul. What's great is that there is no wrong interpretation to this song. However this song is taken, it is open for all of us to interpret through our own lenses...
I'm sorry that the lyric DMT video freaked your eyeballs out..lol But I'm super glad you stayed around and checked out the accompanying video. Now you can listen to the song a few times or a few hundred if you are like us .. without the video and just love it more and more and more.
Awesome choice of tracks. I knew Tool from the early days of Opiate, but this song made me fall in love with them. Just a small side note, I saw you bust out a back scratcher at the end of the video. As a dialysis patient how knows that pain very well. I will suggest looking into the "Back Rake" By far the best back scratcher fi found. Big wooden amazing piece of design. Also seconds as a weapon.
Watching someone try to "bop" to TOOL's time signatures is always amusing. "The time signature of the main riff is 9/8 8/8 7/8, 987 is the 17th term in the sequence".
Love this reaction. Someone mentioned it on today's Rumble live and I had to come back and watch it again. Great stuff. Hoping for another Tool request day soon. :)
This song is written in the Fibonacci sequence aka Golden Ratio. The mathematical sequence of the universe. Represented by a spiral while telling you not to think about it too much.
Dany Carey is the greatest drummer to ever live. His signatures are mind warping. I can't keep up is the right response. This is masterful work. Keep going.
THANK YOU! I have “tried” to explain to friends why this song sounds the way it does and why I love it because of the math. Music lovers that never played anything always look at me funny when I say “I like this song (any song) because the math is good”. Now that I know that breakdown video exists I can just be like “shut up and listen, then listen to this”
3,5,8 beat. Fibonacci sequence. Aka the golden ratio. One of my favorites of all time. I didn't need to make this comment, it is explained in the video.
Are you seriously just NOW listening to Lateralus?!?! Awesome for you! It’s an awesome song from an awesome album from an awesome band. I’d suggest “Parabol” into “Parabola” next if you haven’t heard it yet :)
Danny Carey is a genius. Maynard writes his lyrics based on the beat, so based on the drum line, he has to write the lyrics based on the fibonauci sequence.
They just jumped straight to LATERALUS?! And watched a deep dive video?! Maaaaaaad RESPECT! Here for more Tool! We need more reactors who go this deep into appreciation instead of just bobbing their head. SUBSCRIBED! 🌀Spiral out! Keep going!
omg the ads breaking the experience (I think I need to start listening to tool, never gave them a chance even in my prog era :~) (also funny how the lyrics talks to the dude trying to get the music "overthinking, over-analyzing...")\ really good stuff damn
This is def my fav Tool song which is not an easy conclusion to come to by a band with so many great songs ….aside from “Voodoo Chile” by Hendrix this might be my favorite rock song ever?….it’s that good 🤷🏼♂️🖤🤤
The video for this song uses fractal geometry. It is what changed the video game world. Images where just lines of different length. Fractal geometry uses different size triangles.
Just one small thing though, you HAVE. To listen to the official song, THEN do the video of Danny Carey's drumcam. Because you need the context of the nature of the song as it was intended. And it's even way way more surprising when you watch him play and see what he's doing.does that make sense?
The Fibonacci Sequence was used in the writing of this song. Guys, there is a youtube video that will break it down for you, so you can see just how GENIUS this song really is! Also, you should Educate yourself on the Fibonacci, what is, how it works and where it occurs in the natural world! Other true Musical Genius` that used the Sequence are Mozart, Beethoven and Debussy...all Masters of Music! Tool IS the most Masterful, Precise Musical Band ever!
I think they just sat together and were like:" how can we make this as challenging as possible to play, how can we make every live act a pain in the ass for us to so nobody can catch the beat..." They play tag with the fu*k!ng time signature. Danny carry is a damn octopus maynard is a lyrical mastermind punk alien and i dont even know what instument justin and adam are actually playing but it doesn't really sound like bass and guitar. It's like they made music specifically for people who make musik just to show them that they suck.
Hey Flawd, I’m sure other have said this, but I think you would be even more amazed if you do Tool Parabol and Parabola one after the other because they are meant to be listed to as a pair! We will make you a member of Tool Army yet my man!

It’s also a discourse on esoteric emanationism in early hermeticism…
I know all of this is accurate, but it still sounds like it was written by ChatGPT.
@@pro-v7500 What if I am ChatGPT ??
With Tool you either get it, or you don’t. With those that do it can be life changing.
“Organized chaos” is the perfect description on several levels
Controlled chaos... might be more apt.
That's what a band leader does.
Minor distinction.
That, is an orchestra.
I love how the guitars basically structure the song and the drums and vocals fill in the rest. Danny is the GOAT
Yall, I am extremely happy to hear this reaction, its genuine surprise when yall watched the breakdown and "got it"....I enjoy yalls channel ALOT!
Its a masterpiece, so complex and deep on several levels.
This is such a good, calming album. I used to fall asleep listening to it.
Interestingly this album used to give me anxiety. Listening to mantra, parabola, ticks and leeches, lateralus, reflection (one of my favorites) ,triad, and of course that last bullshit track lololol
I’m convinced the guys got ahold of some next level psychedelics when writing this album 🤣🤣🤣
"I feel like I just got non-consensually high. Whoever did that needs arrested." Best statement of the year. ❤
Love that you watched this, I like to think of Tool as thinking man's metal and it seems like you both got it spot on!

Tool is on another level,. sometimes I wonder if they're of this earth.

Fire video. Love Tool. Also Maynard’s other two bands Puscifer and A Perfect Circle. ⭕️

Flawd you mentioned in a previous one that these lyrics are bars. This song's lyrics aren't just some bars, they're an entire rack.
This song is written in the Fibonacci sequence aka Golden Ratio. The mathematical sequence of the universe. Represented by a spiral while telling you not to think about it too much.
Understanding the pattern of the Fibonacci sequence helps the listening experience here
Great song off a great album, from a great band
love this song. you can find so many pockets and grooves.fractal in a way. amazing musicality
Great reaction guys. You fit this rabbit hole!
Dany Carey is the greatest drummer to ever live. His signatures are mind warping. I can't keep up is the right response. This is masterful work. Keep going.

Please make sure you listen with no break between tracks - it's artificially two tracks but should be one!
Danny Carey is a genius. Maynard writes his lyrics based on the beat, so based on the drum line, he has to write the lyrics based on the fibonauci sequence.
Justin Chancellors bass notes and cords carry Tool so well

🌀Spiral out! Keep going!
syllables are nuts... 1,1,2,3,5,8,13 this is artistically a masterpiece... Fibonacci sequence.
Fibonacci' sequence is the key to understang the flow /beat of the song > a legacy from the ancient civilizations

This song uses The Fibonacci sequence. The song spirals outwards
Funny, I always listen to these guys with my eyes closed. I didn't even realize you had another video playing til you said something.
After I finished watching this video it feels like I was brainwashed. Wild
I know you guys buzzed out, but that is the best breakdown of that song I have seen.
