- Tool Reaction Day! Well, Tool Army, I think I have yet another favorite Tool song. :D Vicarious is everything.
UPDATE: I listened to The Grudge again, so please disregard my previous statement. :D The Grudge is at the top. But I LOVE everything about Vicarious. It is lyrically my favorite by a mile.
UPDATE: Vicarious might be at the top again. Man, I love this song.

Lauren: "Do you prefer the (ease into the song) or the (get right to it)"
Tool fans regarding Tool songs : Yes!
One more song closer to Rosetta Stoned (and “Lost Keys” intro). It’s unavoidable… 👽
Still don't think she's ready *just* yet. It's one of my favourite tracks but let's be honest, Rosetta is fricking weird 😂.
She's on Her way...
@@Andy-nl8uq its GREAT
"Somniferous almond eyes don't even know what that means, just remember to write it down"
Rosetta Stoned is going to be such an entertaining reaction!!!
This song remains my most listened to Tool song post-video. And I always listen to the last part twice. :) Enjoy your weekend & thanks for watching!
So Effin Good!!!! Thank you so much for being you and doing these Tool reactions.....There is no band like Tool!!! You're awesome!
This just solidifies the fact that you need to go back and listen to early Tool. Don't listen to the current Tool poll, which ended up almost perfectly in reverse order of what you'd be into. Seriously...check out the early stuff and evolve into the later work.
Either way, have a great day!
Put 7empest(Tempest) on your next song, the bass in that song is booming🤘
Fantastic to hear
Was at the top of my list for weeks.
Multiple times.
10,000 Days is one of the best albums to listen to from start to finish. The journey is epic... :)
Wings for Marie and 10,000 days must be played together. The same way that parabol and parabola must be played in succession.
In wonderful ways, I live vicariously through your first time hearing these Tool songs that mean so much to me. And, that brings me great joy. I thank you. :)
The older I get the more I like the long intros
8:11 The face when the bass solo hits
Vicarious is one of my favorite Tool songs, and I am glad you also enjoy it a lot. And yes, the last section is almost indescribably good. Keep it up!
I won't even fib, this is one of my top three go-to songs to have blasting over the Bluetooth speaker to sing along to in the shower. Has been since 2006. Lyrically and musically, just so damn... what's the word... satisfying?
Thank you for the groovy reaction! ALWAYS excited to receive your notifications. \m/
When it comes to vocals, Maynard is a man of mystery you never know what he's going to come up with. And have you ever thought about reacting to his other bands, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer
Judith: ruclips.net/video/b-Y0LqxQN2s/видео.html
Puscifer for sure, since you enjoyed low Maynard so much.
@@MusicCatsandCoffee any song but "Judith". Great song but bad example of what A Perfect Circle can do. A hardcore fan since early 90's(of MJK), I think that is the worst 1st song to listen to when reviewing A Perfect Circle. They have so many more great works.
@@MusicCatsandCoffee The Doomed, Orestes and The Package are much better examples of APC than Judith. Judith is just Maynard with a different band. APC has many songs that are much better.
This song gets me going in the morning before work😁
I loooooove this album SO MUCH. It's absolutely amazing. They are in PEAK form.
Lauren, I love and support you no matter what grade you give songs. The harsher the grade, the more honest you are thus the better your channel is. You can be a "yes man" or be yourself. I prefer your true opinion. -one of your subs.
It's 2006 and you're at Wal-Mart at 12:01am Tuesday morning (new releases were always Tuesday morning) to get the new Tool album you've been waiting for for 5 years. You purchase this gorgeous album with trippy cover art, pull out the CD, pop it into your car stereo and turn it up. This is what greats you.
I don't think I'd ever been more happy with an album purchase.
I got 10000 Days at a midnight sale too. Big line snaking through the record store parking lot. Midnight release sales used to be a common thing. I called up a record store ahead of Fear Inoculum to ask if they were doing one. They didn't know what I was talking about 😆
The more you listen to Tool the better n intensifier it gets n it goes on for years that way ♾
You are NOT ready for "Wings" and "!0,000 days" yet. But when you do listen to them you MUST listen to them back to back and make sure you have the lyrics. If you listen to older Tool and then progress through the newer stuff you can see how Maynard has dealt with losing his mother and has grown as a person and artist. Just make sure you have a bod of kleenex handy as well.
Keep in mind that Maynard wrote the song Rev22:20 close to the time he wrote 10,000 Days. Seems all that growing as an artist went right out the window lol
@@l.ronhubbard5445 The song Rev 22:20, was actually written 3 or 4 years before 10,000 days. It was used in the movie "Underworld" that came out in 2003.
@@aaronlane5000 i knew it was very close. V is for Vagina came out right after 10k days and it had the remix of rev22:20. Thanks for the correction
Vicarious is one of my favorites. The song itself, by examination, is much different than most Tool songs, in a few ways. It's Maynard examining life from a different angle, to each all a simple lesson. The music is, as always, exceptional. It's easy for this song to play because it's such an evil, almost taboo subject, so that plays right into the evil sounds. Unlike other Tool songs where we have time to just take into the moment, Vicarious is a rip roaring adventure. In that way it's a bit like 'Tick and Leeches', but in a different way. Both songs feeling more 'metal' than most of Tools later work. All your comments are always appreciated. It's the jam! ;)
Add on: I'm sure you've heard this already, but Wings for Marie must be listened to with 10,000 Days. It really must.
That tv anchorman voice in the bridge is the same actor that plays Dr. Lawson in "Lost Keys (Blame Hoffman)", which leads into "Rosetta Stoned"
You have the best format!
Love it!!!
Man im so glad to see you enjoy it, I would say I enjoy songs that build up to the lyrics. We need to see you do a top 10 of tool. I bet that would be hard to do. Enjoy your day and thanks for reacting to the best tool song imo.
I'll consider a top 10. :D
its my favorite on the album as well, great reaction! and glad to see another video from you!
Hands down my favorite Tool song. This one is just so visceral and honest and psychologically charged.
Thanks for this.
SO glad you loved this song. Its one of the best IMO. I recommended this to you a while ago in a comment. Its always great to see someone else having a song get to them. This one is powerful. Great video!! Keep them coming!
You like Tool, I like Tool, I like your vibe. Subscribed.
Actually watched this review twice now I enjoyed it so much. Good work private Lauren on to the next one.
Some Tool songs have great intros. For example Eulogy which adds layer upon layer ( perhaps you might need to come up with new hand gestures for your headphone). Other Tool songs have a separate intro like Rosetta Stoned where the intro is Lost Keys. It sets you up for a musical masterpiece but brace yourself for Maynard's performance (which is going to render you speechless). I loved your facial expression when you heard Vicarious a second time, can't wait to see it after Rosetta Stoned's finale. And... vicarious has presented you the "low low Maynard" and the "la la Maynard".
Another great one, Lauren! 👍 I'm with you on intros. I love long, interesting intros and TOOL are obviously one of the best at those. Also agree (and completely understand) your hesitancy about Wings. Those two should be among the last songs of theirs to react to in general.
My favorite Tool song. But that changes regularly. Keep going on your trek, I love watching!!
TOOL what? I’m here✌️🇨🇦
love that you love it :)
It bears repeating. I *LOVE* these lyrics.
For low low Maynard give “Momma said” from Puscifer a try.
We love the lyrics too! Such an integral part of the experience.
You are easily my favorite reaction channel.
Well, thanks! :D
Yup this song is always a favorite among even casual tool listeners..... I know many people who don't like tool, but still love this song
I love how she knows Wings For Marie 1 and 2 crushes your heart, soul, and everything in between!
Hello Lauren. What can i say. You are not like the usual reactors out there. Like simple but deep in the same time. Suffered alot and burned out. Made the heart of stone with protective barriers up. Tough person, tough girl. And that nervous smile , every time you get excited about something. It is shown , that you have been trough alot. And i like it , i like all of that. Just wanted to say , you are not alone. Wish i be there and give you a big hug. Similar souls can see each other. If you wana talk sometimes , for anything, just make a call to me. Wish all good!
DMT likes to smoke Tool.
borrowed comment.
If you want a showcase of Maynard's true vocal range you should try out lots of his APC vocals. Especially on the 1st album Mer De Noms. Well, his Puscifer project showcases more of his range as well. Appreciate the react.
My favorite TθθL songs rotate, as most everyone’s do, but this one regularly makes the top three.
It reminds me of the stench of humanity that Agent Smith remarks on in The Matrix.
I'm super jealous that I can't hear this song for the first time ever again. I was there when it was released as a downloadable single before the album itself, and I must have listened to it about 20 times in a row that night. I was absolutely blown away!
Oh hell yes!!!
More Tool please
This intro is killer
Wings pt1 and 2 is my favorite tool song, but this is my favorite for casual listening. The former is something you really need to sit down and appreciate when hearing it
I love the long intro and build up. Depends on my mood though
I think this has to be my favorite guitar work by Adam it just hits hard on this song
This is still one of my favorite songs. Can't wait for you to get to Invincible. Like Vicarious, I had to listen to it a few times, then more and more and more.
Also Love your Tool Face/s
Make sure to check out the official music video for this song, it's visually very powerful, one of their very best. You have certainly been bitten by the Maynard bug. I hope you keep going down the MJK rabbit hole long enough to explore the APC and Puscifer as well. Did you buy your Tool tickets yet? Shit is off the hook live.
Great reaction!! Need to do a song off the Undertow album
I love the long TOOL intros. Another Great Review! Thanks for sharing!!! I always stick around.
The song "Eulogy" from AENIMA is a very good song. Also thier live cover version "No Quarter" by Led Zeppelin is awesome.
Don't forget about MJK's other 2 bands. They all sound different and are very good bands.
My 2 favorite bands are TOOL and Chevelle, so I think you will also enjoy.👽👍
I used to be a technical instructor and writer. 3 ways that people learn; read then do, just go for it and learn by mistake and watch someone else do it and learn, vicarious. How did cavemen teach their young to hunt? Watch from a safe distance and learn what works. I think that is what this song is about, watching from a safe distance and understand what works and what doesn't work in many different scenarios. How often do we watch something on the screen and say to ourselves and others how we would have done it different and better?
Tool, long or short, doesn't matter, I look forward to your pauses
Vicarious is an incredible song..🔨army
So glad your channel is about to break 3K. Keep up the good work! Do you have tix for their upcoming tour? I do! :)
I always thought it was "and wide as the stories told"
And I wonder if the "la la lie" portion was MJK paying homage to The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel
Tool is great. Period. ✌🤘
I love the written commentary, because I also find it hilarious. Here I am jamming like crazy and you're sitting perfectly still, analyzing it? In any case I'm glad you like it, but I literally cannot sit still while listening to it lmao
The "school bell" sound is Danny Carey precisely playing a cymbal
The official video for this song is great. It's some excellent CGI by Meats Maeijer.
Just saying… you don’t really need to explain that “it might not look like you like it but you really enjoy it”. You’re just taking it all in on a first time listen and there’s so much to take in. We totally get it!
As for song intros...it depends on the song. My current favorite Tool song is "Descending", which starts with over a minute of ocean waves crashing against the shore, but there's nothing wrong with getting right into something awesome of awesome is on the menu...
I’ve posted this before, but it’s why Maynard is the greatest lyricist of all time...this is astounding!
Credulous at best, your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men.
Pull your head on out your hippy haze and give a listen.
Shouldn't have to say it all again.
The universe is hostile. so Impersonal. devour to survive.
So it is. So it's always been.
I can't believe you didn't mention anything about angry Maynard for this song, I mean, that last chorus is some of the very best of angry Maynard. Good times. Looking forward to the next one. 👍
Finally!
When you uploaded The Grudge, I commented that for me these 2 songs go together, I won't listen to one without instantly listen to the other, too.
So we have no idea what other vids are already in the Copyright-clearance loop, but if you haven't done Eulogy yet I think that it would very well fit in the lineage of the details you seem to appreciate most when listening to Tool.
Bottom goes with The Grudge
If you follow the polls, you can keep track. Next one is Disposition/Reflection/Triad in mid-November or sooner. Latest winner of the poll was Rosetta Stoned. I'll probably film that this Monday. That's it for now. :)
@@MusicCatsandCoffee Thanks for your quick reply Lauren. I never get to see those poll requests for some reason, so I wasn't aware. So you did D/R/T, I wonder how that went for you :) -> no spoilers though! I bought the Lateralus Album upon release and 20 years later I still have to be in the mood to listen to them without quitting. I would say, if you liked those 3, you will very likely also enjoy their latest album Fear Inoculum. If you didn't like D/R/T, there is still Schism for you to discover on the Lateralus Album, and I'm sure that you will agree that that's a real banger once you'll get to that one ! (if the polls have mercy on you :) ) What could possibly have been the alternatives to Rosetta Stone in the poll, I wonder?
On my channel page, click Community and you'll find the polls. I usually post new ones on the weekends. As for Schism, I know that song already. :)
U jam. Take your time
Vicarious is my clear favorite, although The Grudge is also fantastic, as is all Tool-tunes. But to me, clearly Vicarious. Perhaps both lyrics and music plays a part in this.
Not simping don't panic. But your hair is gorgeous in this reaction. Thanks for another great tool reaction :) Can't wait until you hear Rosetta Stoned. You'll need a nap afte that ride,
I'm very calm. :)
I've seen a few comments about my hair. This video was made over a month ago, but I noticed while I was editing, like whoa, good hair day. LOL. But I filmed this the same day as 2 other videos and I don't think anyone mentioned my hair in those. :) But anyway, thanks!
10,000 days is so under rated. One of their best albums in my opinion
Such a unique, talented and progressive band on many levels. Tool is more of an experience than a band. There can be only one. Spiral Out...
Credulous at best, your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men.
Pull your head on out your hippy haze and give a listen.
Shouldn't have to say it all again.
The universe is hostile. so Impersonal. devour to survive.
So it is. So it's always been.......MJK
Turn it up
Intro length i guess plays into the topic of the song. I love Jambi, hooker with a penis, part of me, the pot etc for getting straight into the main tempo. But the long intro's and build of Lateralus, invincible, Descending, Pushit etc are awesome too. Thanks for doing another Tool review.
Lengthy Tool intros - oh yeah. Vicarious definitely in my top 10 from them, MJK is such a master lyricist / social commentator. Even if not into doing live versions, you should check out Sober live (Reading 1993) if only for Maynard's stunning performance. And you really need to do Hooker with a Penis, judging by all your other Tool reactions should be right in your sweet spot.
This one and the pot are two I mention as favs the most, invincible is there now too
As a guitarist who knows both lateralus and vicarious, I have to say that Vicarious is a lot more challenging and complex, love both of them equally though!
In my opinion, this song is the pinnacle of progressive metal. It's absolutely fantastic.
It depends. I'm not sure if You do Opeth reactions, but one of my favourite Opeth songs is "The Moor" and it does have a long intro. But I also really love other songs of theirs that are straight into it, like "Demon of the Fall".
Excellent song and lyrics! As for intros, I'm a long intro guy. I'm sure I like plenty of songs with short intros, but if you were to look at my playlist, you would see some long songs w/ long intros. It helps it seem more like a listening experience or journey rather than just a quick take for the radio.
The virtue vampire ..☀️
Wow! Your hair looks amazing! Btw...you're definitely ready for Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned. Same album. Lost Keys is the long ass intro to Rosetta Stoned. Lyrically and emotionally Rosetta Stoned makes much more sense after hearing Lost Keys. These 2 tracks are 1. You can thank the Ticks and Leeches of the record company for the division
You would love Karnivool, especially the Sound Awake and Themata albums, based on these Tool reactions.
Tool long short intro … all good
Thanks for Tool!
I highly recommend you to do a reaction to Be’lakor. Great poetry and awesome musicianship. I’m sure you will love it, Lauren.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🌀🌀🌀🌀🌀
“La la la”‘s and such are really an underrated thing. A lot of artists under use them because they think it comes off as lyrically lazy, and it’s just not the case. Think “A Day in the Life” by The Beatles.
Wings for Marie.
I completely understand about Wings for Marie. I LOVE all the songs about his mother, but I just cannot listen without knowing I have plenty of time to myself, a whole box of tissues and am ready to...just really be in my feelings and be extremely sad. Anyway, I checked out your store. I think I need an Angry Maynard shirt. Hopefully, that will happen tomorrow. I would also love a sticker. Any idea when those will be available?
Not sure about the stickers. Not anytime soon, to be honest.
This song is a brilliant lyrical critique of couch potatoes!
The second “UP YOUR AAAAASSSSS” on Hooker is a LOW Maynard and a Maynard. “The Universe is hostile” lines in this song give me goosebumps…
TOOL Pushit Live!
I mean I get it about Wings for Marie, it wrecks me every time
I love those kind of songs. I love being ripped apart. BUT it's this particular topic that I can't do right now. That's the reason.
@@MusicCatsandCoffee yeah i read somewhere that Maynard regrets this song since it is so emotional and having to be so precise live is difficult
You have to listen to, "Wings for Marie" Pt 1 and Pt 2....
Bottom by tool
There are no bad Tool songs.
Welcome to humanity via Maynard which changed my life.
I love Maynard, but I got into Tool for the music. The longer any section is, the more I enjoy the song.
If you like their longer stuff and you like Maynard's low notes, you might want to try Wings for Marie/10,000 Days. But bring tissues. It's heartbreaking.
Ah, at the end you say you're avoiding Wings/10K Days for your emotional well-being. I completely understand.
Talk about them lyrics. Don't let em shut you out lol
Take as long as you need, but once you do, "Wings and 10K" are 1 long song...
You know how they love their intros, well, "Wings" is an epic intro to "10,000 Days"
I believe they wanted to have something that they could do on tour because performing the whole song, nearly every night, would be "torture", and probably impossible to pull off at the time
Now, with their skills, they could probably do it as a whole, but it's probably really hard for Maynard to get through it... Their new album shows that they're capable of doing some pretty long songs, and I'm sure they're a challenge for even them...but damn, their endurance...
Gorgio was right: "It's Aliens"
