      I am a LOOONNNG time TOOL fan! I've always have listened to Alternative Rock, and TOOL is probably the kings of Alternative Rock! I've been a fan since middle school. I'm now in my 40's so 30+ years or so.. I've been to every concert the've done coming to SLC, Utah. They are coming again in late September I believe! I get paid Friday, but already bought them, 2 front row tickets, (I do)n't do GA bcuz of a bad back and can't stand long) so I) have to pay myself back! Lol! 😂

      Anyway, I’m no joke having literal finger and hand orgasms just from feeling his civics interior dash n fabric on door, going hard
      The breakdown begins and I felt like I was getting sucked up into an alien spaceship and seeing heaven or sumthn, as soon as Justin starts power sliding that groove, I , as a male, literally was experiencing the most amazing body and mind orgasm I cannot put into words
      Lysergic will give you some crazy listens, but the amount of absolute insanity euphoria you will feel, will truly change your life
      I did it on a nice quiet summer cruise back road and smoke weed night, and was shotgun , but I’m sure it’ll work just as long as your body will feel the bass

    Lateralus, the pot, invincible and this song are in heavy rotation. They are my "pump up songs. They have certainly taken on new meaning for me.
    Been waiting for you to do this one, it's inspiring tattoos if I can ever sit still long enough ever again!

    When Maynard holds, a chance to “be.” And holds on the “be…” That is life, man. Hits me in the feels.
    I’m just going to say “Undertow” from here on out.

    Awesome reaction, thank you bro. That haunting sound in the background of Parabol is an aboriginal digeridoo. Much props for Not stopping mid-transition like soo many reactioners do. 😁🤘 Rock on.
    One of my favorite things abot Tool is the fact that they highlight every member in the band, Justin doesnt get enough credit for the sick bass rifts he brings to the table.

    This album (Lateralus) and this song in particular changed my life. I saw this tour back in the early 00s and it was for real like a spiritual experience. This band - there aren’t many who can hold a candle to them. They are all masters of their craft. Great choice for a song review.

    A couple more outstanding tracks left on the Lateralus album still await... Schism (2002 Grammy award winner for Best Metal Performance) and Reflection, which is the centerpiece of a trio of songs commonly referred to as "The Holy Trinity". Reflection is another vibe kinda song somewhat like Parabol/Parabola so I'm quite certain you'll love it too. Schism was my first TOOL love so I think you'll dig that one too, although the extreme time signature changes is goes through throws off a lot of people who aren't quite ready for it. But you're more than ready!

      @@jamiestevener1248 That's not one of my particular favorites, but I know a lot of people do really like it. That album just has so much great material on it that some tracks are bound to get overshadowed by others.

    Pre reaction comment: YES!!! So excited!
    Post reaction: One (two) of my favorite songs. Just the ominous and suspenseful feeling in Parabol with the gut bust transition to Parabola is amazing. What seals it for me is the "ascension" of the ending. Love your reactions man. #ToolArmy #NightwishArmy #HOG

    The low end instrument you were wondering about is a didgeridoo, an aboriginal woodwind. I love that they used that.

    Fun fact, this is actually the first track of the Lateralus album, not The Grudge. When you start the album from the middle and “spiral out” the play order, it plays as a continuous musical experience where each track flows into the next. It’s called “The Holy Gift” arrangement, and the album hits completely different. You can find the Holy Gift by searching youtube for it.
    Yet another easter egg delivered by our friends at Tool Inc.

    Not too many songs have been like that for me. (Would) by Alice In Chains was one, and just a few others.
    ...thanks for doing this one.

    Hope you’ll do Jambi by Tool next!

    The guitarist Adam Jones directed this music video. The actor in the second video is an artist known as Tricky. He released a lot of primarily electronic-based music in the late 1990's and early 2000's.
