The Tool Paradox: Every Tool song is better than every other Tool song.
Every Tool song>Every Tool Song
This is the best tool song I ever heard. -me after I hear any tool song
I was thinking this today, my favorite Tool song is the last one I listened to!
And the next time it will be better
The Best Tool Song is the Last Tool Song you Listen to.
"It's never gonna top the first time."
Why do you think Tool fans chase reaction videos like rabid dogs? It's as close as we get to reliving our own first time.
I don't know. I've had some great exercise experiences with Tool. It's amazing having endorphins while using the tool song structure as motivation for High intensity interval training.
🎯
You could say it's a "Vicarious" experience.
Great comment and ya
Nailed it
I will never forget that when I was in the Navy one of my buddies made me a couple MP3 CDs with a bunch of music on it and I had never heard Tool before. I happened to be driving across the US from Virginia to California and I had 10 days to travel and get to my new command. I decided to visit the Grand Canyon on my way there and I just so happened to get to the Tool part of one of the CDs. I listened to this song for the first time in my life while standing at the edge of the canyon and it honestly was an out of body experience. I will never forget that feeling.
On the Crand Canyon, listening to tool, sounds Epic bro!!!
Mushrooms bro. Mushrooms. Lol
well done.
This seems like such a phenomenal way to experience both the Grand Canyon, and this song for the first time! I'm honestly jealous
Not to mention going from one duty station to another. It's like a new year at school. You don't know what to expect except that it will be a life changing experience. Similar to listening to a "new" Tool song. I was in the US Army but I get where you are coming from.
Tool: switches time signatures every measure
These guys: "nothing too crazy so far"
They do it but they make it sound relatively simple
Credit to these guys, they notice things most other listeners don’t. He notes those polyrhythms like a boss. They know their craft well
They are still focused on pizazz and style more than technique and synchronicity.
Hilarious 😂
Maynard (Tool's vocalist) considers the voice as just another instrument and that it shouldn't overshadow the rest of the music, that's why usually the voice isn't in front on the mix.
That’s the way most of their shows are too. Maynard is in back most times. I think he says he doesn’t like crowds much
came to comments to say this exact thing.
I think vocals way to often overshadow the music in most mainstream stuff. Which is part of why it ultimately all sounds the same.
He wants you to listen to every piece of the song.
@@jonschneider5325 the rumor is the lights fuck with him.
Something odd with Tool: they aren’t a one listen and done band. Often multiple listens leads to more enjoyment, especially as they refine their sound through the albums. 👍 at least for me.
25 years of grinding on tool, it never gets old. The lateralus album is literally therapy.
Yes, I found with both Lateralus and FI, it took multiple listens to hear everything and really enjoy the complexity of the records... and to be able to bob my head accurately lol. GOAT band.
It was actually a climb for me to get into them, when I first heard them in junior high school. I didn't like Sober at all and never fully listened to H, the big two that were overplayed on the radio. When I actually sat down and actively listened to Aenima and Undertow was when I became an instant fan.
One of the few bands that get better every listen
That's right. To genuinely love songs like "Invincible" or "Descending" I needed maaaany listens... Now I just love them like no other song really... Tool grow up in you and that feeling never goes down.
Reactions like this are top shelf. I love seeing people get their first listen to a Tool song the same way all of us were exposed to it. Not sitting there reading the lyrics and analyzing the meaning all the way through, but feeling the song, catching what lyrics you can when you aren't hypnotized by the music and just being blown away by what you just heard. THAT'S the way to do a review. Bravo my friends.
Absolutely. Loving the way they really feel these songs.
Spot on comment, though idk maybe it’s just me but I can understand most of Maynard especially with headphones on. But I got big ears.
He´s just feeling THEM TOMS
I got introduced to tool songs through the radio. Rather late. And always when driving at night. In New Zealand you do get good music in the radio
I think you're ready for the Grudge. Balls out the entire way, utterly complex and deep as you like. Probably the greatest scream in the history of rock and roll. The opening track off of Lateralus. Don't think about it, just do it.
The Grudge is probably the best rock song of our generation!
This is one of the GREATEST SONGS ever RECORDED. More TOOL. 🤞💯🔥
^Truth
It’s the Echoes of this generation
Check out my comment. I totally agree.
Yup.
Hey as it crazy as it seems. I was working on a sitcom right next door and I was wondering why there was security posted outside. Full on security through out . Sony studios for your info. Turned out It was for the Tool Lateralus tour. I asked the security guard if I could come in. Said yes. I'll never forget what I saw and heard.
You guys should listen to The Grudge.. I'm positive that you'll enjoy it even more than Lateralus... Specially the ending, Danny (drummer) is NASTY in this one.
I second this motion
Yes or ticks and leeches
That's exactly what I was thinking. If y'all want to hear the drummer shredding, check out Ticks and Leeches, or The Grudge!
'Vicarious', '46 and 2', and 'Schism' also feature some pretty damn amazing drum work.
The "Tool Army" is a group of people who WANT you to ramble on for an HOUR, bruv, because listening to some of the best engineered music hits you in a special way. You talked about it here not wanting to listen again because you want to sit with with the song's 'flavors'. This is why reaction channels exist so SHARE all your thoughts👍👍👍
Engineered? They are a actual band who never put on a bad show
@@Hhall10essee they literally sound as good live as they do in they do in the studio
That was @ you btw
That “vooom” “synth” is actually the bassline . Crazy. The more filled sound that soon follows that breakdown is a chorus effect on the electric guitar, making it more filled and thicker as you say.
Justin is a master of using The Bass Whammy Pedal
Nah Justin turns on more distortion(I think his sansamp) making the whammy go blammy
Masters
Listened to this 100s of times…trust me this song gets better every time. Wait til you figure out the Fibonacci sequence relevance.
fib sequence over glorifies the song.. great song.. but .. fib sequence? yeah it's there but..meh
@@D0N0CIDE yeah it's neat to consider but has no effect on my enjoyment of the song
Amen
@@D0N0CIDE Watch a youtube video called "How Tool Used Math to Create "Lateralus" by
Polyphonic, it's actually pretty mind-blowing how Tool made this song.
Tools lyrics are worth diving into, but nearly impossible to appreciate simultaneous to the complexity of the music upon first listen. I appreciate you guys describing the engineering, texture/feel, and pointing out the little details a casual listener might miss.
Agreed!
I always think it's best, at least with Tool, to listen to the song without lyrics several times to get it in your head. Then read along if you want. I listened to Tool for years before ever reading any lyrics. It's like rediscovering the song for the first time.
Top notch comment👍👍👍👍
Theres a discussion to be had over preference of w lyric and wo
AND GREAT VIDEO ITS OK TO PAUSE TOO (GOOD FOR FREE USE)
10:25 - 11:48 never gets old
I have come back this video dozens of times literally just for this 90 seconds of reaction. It's just watching someone fall in love in real time.
You can see him grab another gear as he listens to the song build
Tool is philosophical, spiritual, artistic, perfectionistic. Their music tells a story far more nuanced than the common tale.
I love how you guys just sunk in and felt that epic ending.
You hit the nail on the head with the vocal convo. Maynard has never wanted the vocals to be the main focus of TOOL. The band is what makes TOOL, TOOL. Maynard's insanely deep lyrics are just the delicious cherry on top of that ridiculously good sundae! Nice react, my guys!
Maynard has also said most of the time he starts writing the vocals once majority of the music has already been composed.
I've listened to the song Thousand of times and everytime it crescendos towards the end it makes my eyes well up
Yes! “It’s not about the chops” it’s about the feeling and experience. And yes, the mix. A great team experience.
It's about composition.
The low end pulsing effect is Justin The bassist using a Digitech Bass Whammy Pedal. He uses it in many of his solos. The intro and outro of Right in Two is one of my favorite applications of this pedal. You two would really enjoy that song coming from the perspective of being people of faith.
Love seeing musicians discover the magic of Tool. There isn't many bands that can give me chills after listening to a song for the 1000th time and Tool is the only one that can do that to me with literally dozens of songs.
This song still gives me chills after 20 years. Best listened to in the dark with your eyes closed 😉
The part at the end where he points to the ceiling is one of my favorite parts of any tool song ever. It's your second time through that final drive and they pull Maynard's vocals way down to the gut of the mix and you feel as though you're being swallowed alive in the sound with him. It's one of the best production decisions ever. You literally get swallowed whole
"I would love to hear the drummer eat it"
sounds like you need to listen to "The Grudge"
for the longest time The Grudge was my favorite. Now I tend to gravitate to Eulogy.
When I first heard "Sober" I was like "yeh thats cool" , when I first heard AEnima album I thought "yeh its quite good" after another week I realised it was the best album I had heard, every album takes a while to grow on me, but they get better over time
Exactly
When it came out it blew me away and still does today
i honestly, hand on my heart, still get chills listening to this 20 years after i heard it for the first time. Cant really think of another band that does that to me of the top of my head. Its the same with 46&2 and thats 25 years. I've seen Tool live 3 times. twice in 2001 and once in 2006. Damn im happy i have that experience in my life. They are just special.
Also if you managed to miss Porcupine Tree thast worth a looksee for sure, their drummer Gavin Harrison is quite the treat aswell.
Yeah I saw tool for the first time in 2001, it was the second concert I've experienced and I still think it's one of the best I've seen. And I go to many many shows.
The more you listen to a Tool song it just gets better and better. The newest album has a song called Descending that starts slow but when it ends you come out of a trance.
My fav on the new album. Also Justin Chancellors fav.
It's an epic track indeed.
Vocals are background cause Maynard doesn't want to be seen as a front man. He's more comfortable with they band leading the song. This song is math 100% through and through. I can't do the explanation any justice but there's tons of info out on it. Fibonacci sequence. Time signature changes and lyrics all follow a numerical theme.
Math and rhythm are very correlated. I’m not sure it was too planned out according to the most bizarre equations they could fit, just felt right I argue.
Vocals on top don’t suit music like this. I get into this argument with my band all the time. In heavy music, or dense music, vocals should not be on top, they should sit in the mix with everything.
Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned is a must. You guys would love it.
Ticks and Leaches is another great one, especially with how much you guys love drums.
I used to always run to this song.
If you do this song, you must have the lyrics. It was a story told to the band, & they turned it into a Masterpiece!
You nailed it. These are the tracks I'm waiting to see my damn self, especially for the drummer of these two guys.
Whole 10k days album
Eulogy
It is great to see new Tool fans.
We listened to Tool during American Football weight training workouts, way back in the late 90’s.
Great content guys.
You guys are great. I’m a 30 year TOOL & RATM fan and appreciate watching others begin their journey into their respective discographies. Please keep at it. Love your analysis.
Maynard is usually in the back of the mix, done on purpose. He says his voice is just another instrument thus should be in the mix with the guitars, bass etc. Even live he stands at the back of the stage beside the drums usually
Oh the synth sound is the Bass going through a Pitch shifter I think. It's intended to give a spiraling feeling
Wouldn’t say it’s intended to give a spiralling feeling, much more of a pulsation to me. Then the repetition of the ending with the pinch harmonics is symbolic of someone trying to break through whatever’s holding them back from “spiraling out” or reaching enlightenment in some form.
Lyrics are definitely a must. They're the other half of the experience.
It levels it up.
hmm I kind of think lyrics are not that important in of itself , in that I think you could adore the band for an entire lifetime, not understand a single word and it would still be a great listening experience. They are a cherry on top to me (I think some of MJK's lyrics are phenomenal, I also think some are kind of lame, Lateralus has good lyrics FTR,of course subjectives)
Lyrics for a first time experience are definitely not a must. Takes away from the initial reaction and feeling
@@howya45 as someone who thinks the lyrics level up the song…I agree that listening the first time is better w out lyrics. I also dislike videos.
Bro I’ve seen Tool live 6x and have a ticket to see them again in March in Michigan.. I’ve been listening to them since I was a teenager and literally skipped school on the release day of Lateralus.. love this video and can say they really are on the upper echelon of music, like I literally cannot think of a bad Tool song, not that they’re all great but not a single “bad song”
Guys, seeing them live is NEXT LEVEL, they are like the Pink Floyd of our generation in that respect, second to non. They are about 60years old also FYI. And are legitimately possibly the greatest of all time
You've felt the power of the music, no doubt. Now read the lyrics, ponder them, and try to get a good understanding of the message. Then, go back and listen again while you follow along with the lyrics. As the music carries you away, the lyrics will hit you with incredible emotional force. Goosebumps. Maybe even tears. Tool is something special.
For yrs this song was my all time favorite, and I do mean yrs, this is out of 30 or 40 Tool songs that could easily be my favorite song of all time. Then they released fear inoculum and I got hypnotized by pneuma, pronounced new-ma. A true masterpiece that could not be bettered, except by a song from the same album, descending left me sitting mouth agape and tears of ecstasy streaming down my cheeks. Man I feel so blessed to be alive to experience their magic.
TOOLS albums are 💯 percent TOP SHELF.
ENGINEERING, ARTWORK with 3D GLASSES, HIDDEN TRACKS, INTERLUDES, BACKWARD MESSAGES, MIND BLOWING LYRICS, ODD TIME SIGNATURES!!!
Who does that. TOOL DOES THAT. ✌
I lost my shit the first time I heard this album back in 2001. The entire thing is absolutely mind blowing. Changed my life. It's a spiritual experience, I can feel my soul blooming out of the top of my head reaching for connection.
In Pneuma, the p is silent.
Great reaction guys. Most fans want honest reactions tho. We understand TOOL isn’t for everyone, but we love it all the same.
Tool, Isis and Cult of Luna are the best experiences out there! I listen to Tool since 20 years and it never gets old!
Tool is my favorite band in concert. After my first time seeing them I had to see them again. This song you can close your eyes an feel almost every instrument. Just melt into the grove and spiral out ,as said near the end of the song. I've seen them 3 times and will see them next summer ,if they tour again before Maynard harvests his vineyard.
If you haven't heard it listen to Tool Aenima
The build ups are part of the time signatures. It's based on a Fibonacci sequence. The time signature itself feels like a spiral.
I get chills every single time at the ending buildup. I honestly feel like the high guitar notes at the end are to bring you back down to earth.
The thing i love about TOOL is that you are never sure where they are going next, you think you know but they surprise you.
That's what makes them so interesting to listen too.
Trust me the more you listen to it the better it gets, you keep picking up new things blowing your mind even more, i've listened to this song 100s of times, and i still hear new things.
to this day i still get chills hearing this song. And in person its a movement. I dont know where you all are based but Tool is going on tour again and i cant stress enough that you need to see them in person if they get near you.
The single most important ingredient to most TOOL songs and it’s something that unfortunately a lot of song reviewers and/or reactors miss is the deep emotional message the lyrics are expressing. Maynard hears the music first then drops the lyrics into the song and matches the lyrics and his vocals to the music as if he was the 4th instrument in the band. Trust me there songs where Maynard destroys the mic but it has to be within the structure and feel of the music and the lyrics he created. Also this song is structured and performed to follow the mathematical structure of the Fibonacci Sequence, which is why it felt like it started from the bottom and worked its way to top which was the end of the song. There is always a purpose to how TOOL create their songs, those who get it and have the mental capacity to understand the songs including the lyrics which explain the tones and rhythms of the music love the band and appreciate the out of this world talent these muthufickas have. Appreciate this band my nigglettes cuz there won’t be another band like this. Al Rato and god bless 🙏🏾
I think 46&2 is what you’re looking for when you talk about Danny eating it up. The drum solo in that song is pretty legendary I think
Yes!!!
This was my first Tool song I ever heard and I was in LOVE. One of their best songs, keep playing more Tool and won't hurt to throw in some AC/DC maybe a little Back In Black, Thunderstruck, Hells Bells, Highway to Hell, Shoot to Thrill, Dirty Deeds basically like Tool any AC/DC song works. Have an AWESOME day guys.
What blows me away most with the this song is the lyrics are in the Fibonacci Sequence 0,1,1,2,3,5,8 etc black - and white - all I see - in my infancy etc create a song around that concept is brilliance to me like the way sprouts of a pineapple or leaves on a tree the biological aspect shown through music is beyond art! Tool is beyond music it’s the spiritual connection, in musical form, that makes us all one!
the scary thing about TOOL is they are A+ on every single level, Ace on vocals ace on drums production guitar bass all of it is perfection
Maynard wants his Melodies to blend with the other harmonic elements of the music and doesn’t want his lyrics to be the main event. He says that the lyrics he writes are what the music makes HIM feel and he doesn’t want his experience of the music to color yours. The music is the main thing.
That’s what I love about the way these guy react. They are truly feeling every bit of it. 🤘🏼💜
More than 20 years ago, I skipped class to wait for the record store to open so I could buy this album on the day it was released. The first time I heard the end of this song I said the exact same thing: "I got goosebumps."
"I got goosebumps"... Tool has induced more goosebumps than any other band I've ever listened to.
I got it again just listening to this song on my headphones and seeing the guys get blown away at the end.
Try Opeth. Different kind of music. Goosebumps nonetheless.
Tool is one of my favorite band to drive with the windows down and the music turned up loud. Just pure joy. Driving around with this blasting. Different bands have a different place. Deftones are good for traffic. Metallica for doing donuts in the snow.
I feel like if you knew what this song actually is it would blow your mind even more. The entire song is written around the fibonacci sequence.. from the amount of syllables per line down to the written music. Its amazingly intricate
That part where they took it to gear 6 was a gong. It was the final layer. Massive sound stage in the climax
The gong hits in here and on DESCENDING are life altering.
“Close your eyes.” Truer words can’t be said about listening to a Tool song.
This is my favourite song of all time, it's transcendent and seeing your reaction at the very end... makes me so happy!
If you want to see Danny Go god mode, try ticks and leaches, Rosetta stoned or schism.
i’m only 6 minutes in and already loving this. this is how i’ve listened to new Tool music since 93. i listen probably 4-5 times before i really start to process everything, and my first listen is always just sitting there, eyes closed, getting a feel for it. i try not to single anything out and just get… kind of a big picture feeling. then i go back and listen for individual parts, lyrics, etc. but for me the most important thing about their music is how it makes me feel, so that’s where i start 🤷🏼♀️
if you ask 20 different Tool fans what the most important thing is, they’ll tell you 20 different things. there’s a lot of “you can’t possibly understand the music without the lyrics” and “it’s the structure of the song that’s vital” and this is more important than that, and you’re not listening right, and blah blah blah. what’s “most important” is that you listen to it how you want, and get what you want or need from it. who cares what the gatekeepers or snobs think? and yeah, there are a lot of those when it comes to Tool 🙄 they can be a bit… ugh, i won’t even go there. but yeah. try to ignore the elitists and just enjoy it 💜
Great reaction, I always find it funny when people first listening to Tool are ready to roast them in the first 2 minutes or so, but when they get to the end of the 9+ minute song their opinion completely changes. Like... the song is 9 minutes for a reason. They're going to take you somewhere and it's going to take time and be a journey, but every song they make has a purpose behind it. I've been listening to Tool for over 20 years now and the hardest thing to get used to at the beginning was the vocal mixing, with Maynard being way in the back but that's intentional... he's is just another instrument in the band and has moments to shine and moments to blend. Even in concert he's often tucked away in the back, he's not front in center demanding attention from the crowd. Tool's entire catalog is worth visiting so keep making these videos, they're great and I love seeing musicians react to new (to them) music because they pick up on a lot of the little nuances.
Producer and main engineer for Lateralus is David Bottrill, the list of artists he has produced is very impressive
this track is built and written around Fibonacci numbers/sequence.....this band are on another level to 99.999% shit out there
In pop music the vocals are on top because that's what they're selling, and the music is usually non existent, but both the music and vocals are integral to Tool so they're mixed together especially on this album.
People recommend looking at the lyrics, don't do it on your first listen unless you really want to, feel it first, figure out the meaning later.
Your interpretation of Danny's drumming was the best I've ever heard. Comparing his drumming to Mona Lisa was so beautiful.
P.S. If you want to hear Danny sweat listen to Ticks & Leeches. It was voted #1 Rock Drumming song of all-time.
15:03 I love this bass effect and technique that Chancellor is executing here, best feeling part of the song. When it came up, I was wondering what his reaction was gonna be...started cracking up...pushes mic out of way, seems to just give up...only response to have really😆😆
What you said at the end about the live experience is right on the money. When I saw them play this they extended it out during the encore. With the laser lights and the smoke machines going it really did feel like a religious experience.
I saw them 3 times after 10,000 days. Wings for Marie was like that.
Every time...this song takes me to a new place that connects my spirit to the universe. Love your reaction guys. Much love
I have watched you guys for a while and the way that breakdown at the end, even when you rewound it, affects the mood of the whole video always makes me come back to this reaction. You guys are straight class.
52 yr old woman from the states, HUGE Tool fan..got to see them for my 46th birthday. Left the show before it was over... because..I was utterly fulfilled. It was an awesome experience!! And I LOVE you two!! Your dissecting the music is perfect!! Now..Right In Two! Listen to it!!
The lyrics are just as amazing as the music itself. They. Are. A. Must. Period.
In my case the more I listened to a Tool song, the more I end up appreciating it. Their music doesn’t depreciate with more listens. However, it will cause other music to pale in comparison. Also, watching reactions like these makes me feel like I’m listening again for the first time
I think the moment the song "went into sixth gear" for you was when the gong hits. That gong hit sends shivers down my spine.
As a drummer.. I felt the same way bruv. With almost all of their songs. Their composition, the energy and dynamics. The beauty and vision of it all. We love seeing others go on this ride.
I’d recommend the Grudge from the same album. That song is another masterpiece. Also pretty much every tool track has crazy drums and bass. They are very rhythmic.
You guys should definitely either check out Lost Keys+Rosetta Stoned, 46 & 2, or Ticks and Leeches next. All 3 are absolute masterpieces.
I second 46 & 2
it's the third reaction to lateralus I've seen in the afternoon. I've being listening Tool since 1997/8 It keeps growing. I still listen to Aenima and find something more I haven't listening before. Tool is not just a band, it is an experience.
I first found “The Pot” and it made me love that song, but then I found “Lateralus” and it made me love tool
I feel healed whenever I need spiritual uplifting and I play this album.
Part of Danny's genius is his restraint; he is extremely tasteful in his fills and uses them for maximum emotional impact. 23:05 Pneuma isn't my favorite either, and I've been OGT since 92, the first EP. Descending, Lateralus, 10,000 days, Right in Two are all better songs. Lastly, the lyrics are important because they tell you WHY a particular section gets more or less intense. The end of Lateralus is a moment of commitment to living life fully and embodied, and the whooom-whooom of the bass informs that lyrical passage.
Holy shit! You're the guy!!!
Guy on the right was immediately having an experience and I’m here for it.
31 yrs and Tool never gets old or boring❤😊
It's refreshing to watch a reaction where people aren't OBSESSING over the Fibonacci Sequence. Even though Maynard has said on multiple occasions that the Fibonacci Sequence within this song was completely accidental. Finally, I can watch someone enjoy this song for what it is and listening to it unfold.
Agreed, it's genuinely cringe how many people talk about the Fibonacci sequence. It's just a happy accident
Lol. It wasn't by accident. No one would accidentally write a fibinocci vocal line. The song is literally about it. And it's cool af.
@@thundarrisaboss2725 yeah, they may have stumbled upon the lyrical structure on accident and decided to go with it, but this song is definitely not on accident.
What has been called "grunge" music was always more about the feeling and emotion and not the "chops." Tool came around about that same time and their first album, while not grunge, is also more about emotion and feeling than "chops." But, what Tool did after was enhance the overall "chops" so that the feeling and emotion come from ALL of the instruments (voice, drums, guitar, and bass) and not just from the words and singing, nor just one particular instrument. Grunge was about meaningful words sung with emotion surrounded by warm, fuzzy, distorted music played with precision. Tool has become a spiritual, soulful, whole body experience surrounded by precision musicianship that envelopes you in a trancelike state taking you on an astral jouney of your conscious and subconscious mind without any one instrument having greater "chops" over any other so that they all work cohesively and equally to guide you along. ~Be Blessed
🔥take on the music. Tool is a deep pool. A song called Reflections is a behemoth of a tool song how simple parts combined with craftsmanship can sound gigantic
It's so good the first time. I'm so jealous of you guys for getting to hear it the first time.
By the way, that's the bass.
19:55 yes!!! You’ll never get your first time listening back but you can watch other people discover TOOL for the first time and I swear it’s almost better than ones own first time. I really would suggest always having the lyrics, although there is no right or wrong way to indulge in TOOL it may help in the beginning of the journey so that y’all can focus on the music and textures 🤘🏼spiral out, keep going!
very true
Great reaction video! This is my favourite song by my favourite band! This song has levels though... Read this from the Wiki page about how they incorporated the Fibonacci sequence into the song:
'In July 2017, Maynard's friend Joe Rogan described his writing process in his podcast; "He wrote a song to the Fibonacci sequence. The Fibonacci sequence is a mathematical sequence. It starts from one, the next number is one, and the next number being two, creates the 2+1 which is three, continuing in this mathematical progression. That's how they found the chord progression. It began linking up to the Fibonacci sequence." 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. "Black (1), then (1), white are (2), all I see (3), in my infancy (5). Red and yellow then came to be (8), reaching out to me (5). Lets me see (3)." In the next verse, Maynard begins with the seventh number of the Fibonacci sequence (13), implying a missing verse in between. He descends back down with the following pattern; 13-8-5-3. "As below so above and beyond I imagine (13). Drawn beyond the lines of reason (8). Push the envelope (5). Watch it bend (3)." The second verse adds the missing line to complete the sequence; "There is (2), so (1), much (1), more that (2), beckons me (3), to look through to these (5), infinite possibilities (8)." 1-1-2-3-5-8-5-3-2-1-1-2-3-5-8-13-8-5-3.'
Go back and check the lyrics too, for someone who suffers with imposter syndrome and anxiety it's extremely relatable! 'Overthinking, overanalaysing separates the body from the mind. Withering my intuition leaving opportunities behind'.
Missed opportunities from overthinking and overanalysing things. Allowing that voice inside, that negative imposter, to take control and be too loud. Mindblowing.
There's also a great cover by a band called Brass Against, a brass band: ruclips.net/video/3Dr6ZlcR6Fo/видео.html
If they ever should have the lyrics, this song along side Aenema are the songs to analyse (overanalyse o.O)
Brass Against... Wonder what the urinista does on stage during this song
I love it, man! I’m digging you diggin those drums, brov.
you guys are awesome and u have great breakdowns and i listened to the very end!
The singer's vocals are just another instrument in the band, equal to the drums, guitars and bass, no one above the other.
Loved this reaction! So appreciate the technical insight!

We went through so many drummers trying to play Tool songs. We got a really good one then he had to do the family thing and I understood that but not the other 3 fellas so we all went our separate ways. I'm chilling in the Philippines and watching these singers here. They are absolutely incredible. I was walking one night and heard Celine Dion on someone's jukebox then when I found the music it was this tiny 4'8 little woman sounding exactly like Celine and I just started watching all the singers here. We have very good ones. The most famous one in Arnel Pineda lead singer for journey the past 20yrs or so.
