I guess I'm binge watching Tool Tool is a mind journey.
I'm digging back to the first experience for you.... Tool has lyrics??? Nobody spends that time, it just is what it is. Words randomly pop out, feell the emotion/experience/ power of the sound waves.
TOOL IS NOT METAL......
I spent $300 back in March to see my favorite band TOOL for my 26th birthday BY MYSELF. Dude I’ve been to rap shows / other metal shows in my youngish life and these dudes in TOOL literally had me shell shocked the entire concert. So worth it. Best thing I’ve ever done for myself is all I’ll say. I love your content man!
First off, fuck ya. Secondly, I remember thinking I was old'ish at 26. You're wise, not old. Go grab life by the balls. Fuck video games, fuck everything but music and your ambition and creativity. Those are words I would love to send back in time to myself at 26, which similar to you, I was going off to Tool concerts. Fuck ya, bro, fuck. Ya. Go tackle life with full momentum. And happy fucking belated birthday.
Yo wtf I also saw Tool last year…..in March…..by myself…..at 26 years old 😂
YO SAME. If you guys saw them in Grand Rapids I’m out
...babies, i love it!
I did about the same in 17'
"Tears in my eyes, chasing Ponce de Leon's phantom soul filled with hope, I can taste mythical fountains" - Juan Ponce de León was a Spanish explorer and conquistador. In 1513, Ponce led the first known European expedition to Florida, which he named during his first voyage there. Many thought he was searching for the Fountain of Youth - "become Invincible"...Only Maynard could chuck that into a song. Brilliant!!
MJK's lyrical vocabulary is totally unmatched. So many great words make it into great lyrics. You've got Ponce de Leon and Caligula in one song. Who does that!?
@@JasonLevine1178 Looking forward to Polo getting into Puscifer!
@@scooterreacts1822 oh yeah. He will dig Puscifer. Conditions of My Parole Director's Cut FTW
@@scooterreacts1822 yes!!! Humbling River!!
The song is about veterans, and warriors growing older. And Ponce De Leon is also a warrior prior to him traveling across the Atlantic.
Being a part of the TOOL army isn't about how many songs you have listened to. It's about knowing that what you are listening to is special, you are in brothaman!
Spot on bro 🎯
This is one of their songs that always make me cry.
me too dude. "Tales told of battles won. Of things we've done. Caligula would grin"
Same. Can’t help it when the truth hits.
💯💯💯
Same same
Made me tear up also and still chokes me up some. Hard to look back sometimes and see how much time has passed.
Thank you for allowing us to go with you on your journey through TOOL's catalog. They don't have a bad song IMO. I can only say that about 3 bands. TOOL, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd.
Radiohead too for me
And Color Me Bad
The Band
echoing RadioHead and the above, adding Twenty One Pilots and NF to that list for me
Good list. I'd now add The Warning. They're still early in their journey but they're brilliant
I'm 33, it's hard to find people around my age that appreciate this level of depth and profundity in this song, even of current Tool fans. It's like...life has to happen to truly appreciate this song. This song has left me in tears a time or two. Fantastic reaction.
I'm 53... and you're so correct
I'm 60 years old and the majority of tool songs especially this one leaves me in tears when I see the a concert even more so but when you do find a tool fan it is priceless
I’m only 14… try finding Tool fans my age 😂
@@banana_bread5457 lead the charge!! The tool army doesn't have an age requirement.
@@banana_bread5457 ain't gonna happen young man, but proud of you for realizing the brilliance of this group
This song will resonate with you more and more as the years go on. "Tales told of battles won, of things we've done... Caligula would grin" to me right now brings a lump in my throat every single time.
Amazing line. Probably my favorite in the track too. His inflection to a deeper sound/tone just nails the mood.
I choke up every time at the line "Cry aloud, bold and proud, of where I've been, but here I am where I end."
This. Even Lateralus, the song. It took me years YEARS! to truly appreciate that masterpiece and now I consider it the greatest song in the history of mankind. Fuck Mozart.
...caligula would cringe
...at you, fool
try more.
The beauty of (some of the) Tool songs is that sometimes you don’t get it at first, but they grow and grow until you realise it’s another gem. I had this with Rosetta Stoned in particular. I had to listen to it for over a year before I could see the brilliance. Now it’s one of my all-time favorites. Really like your honest and pure reactions!
My current favorite song is Rosetta Stoned and I used to skip it. On 10,000 Days, I would skip all but Vicarious, Jambi, The Pot, and Right in Two. Funny how that works as Wings/10,000 Days is right behind Rosetta Stoned for me now!
Rosetta Stoned is a grower for sure
I was the same way with Rosetta Stoned now it’s a jem!
@@MitigateOurRuin wings pt1&2 is a true masterpiece! But then again, there is so much jaw dropping music on their albums, it’s insane really…
Rosetta Stoned has the best bridge ..ever. it's like heaven
Invincible, Decending and Wings for Marie got me crying once or twice. As a 52 year old man I definitely can relate to them ! Invincible is Tool’s Haka.
Invincible will grow on you. It took me three to four listens before I started to recognize the parts. The message of the song hits like a hammer, and seeing it performed live just sealed it into my brain forever.
Once you see these tracks live, it unlocks a whole different perspective of the song itself
Tool live is a must
specially this track. Live is on another level
It was definitely a perfect choice to close the concert with.
@G L R cant wait for rockville 2023 🤘
"Invincible" was made stronger by the visuals of the live show ...the full effect of it hit me the second time I saw it performed live!!!
I could really see this album being presented as a VR experience that one doesn't come back from
Awesome idea 💡
Agree 💯. Descending was and is my favourite from FI, but when I saw them this last tour, Invincible actually hit me deeper than Descending. Heard it on a level I never did before. And from that, depending on my mood, it now rivals Descending as my favourite.
this is actually brilliant idea
I will also add that having heard this song twice in person is an out-of-body experience. The first time was at Los Angeles Staples Center and I literally stood against the back wall right below Kobe's Jersey while Justin's bass punched holes in my chest. Fucking amazing
When this album first came out, I was in a bit of an odd place in my life. I was almost 50, been working construction my whole life, and was getting worn out. Immediately this song hit me. I listened to it over and over. It did not necessarily give me an answer to the question of what to do next, but it gave me insight into what I was experiencing at the time.
Now, my wonderful wife has decided to make a wholesale change in her career, which means I need to go back into the outside workforce full time instead of being the stay home dad and improving our home and property as a priority. Honestly, I'm a little scared because I am starting at ground zero once again. And I ain't young and strong anymore.
We will figure it out, we always do. Thanks for sharing your Tool ride with us. Been listening to them since almost day one of their first EP. Not quite OGT, but close.
Nipple rings, new tattoos?.
@@assmaster420 HAHA neither. never got into the body decoration/desecration thing.
The Grudge! Also, The Patient! Two of my personal favorites
Maynard has said that their albums are meant to be played straight through. This one more than the others really should be heard straight through. And when you listen to their early stuff you can see that they have really honed their talents you feel like you’re battling up hill now it’s yeah we’re here and still kicking ass.
When this album came out I thought I'd wait a while thinking it's been 10 years and I questioned if the album would be nearly as good as 10,000 Days, etc. I did in fact wait a year or two. Huge mistake. They have in fact reached the top of that hill. This album is amazing every time I listen. Tool songs in general will put you in another world. This collection of songs will put you in another universe. Kicking ass is an understatement.
No he didn't that was Danny. It was Danny who was refusing to put the music on streaming sites. In Maynards Joe Rogan appearance the day the album dropped he said the band was arguing about it and danny said he wanted the albums played in full and Maynard made the sarcastic comment that why would they're music have to be listened to in full albums when they never play full albums in concert. And thats how maynard finally got Danny to sign off on streaming.
Legendary band...they only produce perfection.
After watching this video, fans of Danny Carey's drum compositions may be interested in checking out my active drum transcription of Invincible, where you can follow along live to the drum sheet music while the song plays back!

#ToolArmy
this song hits hard when you see autumn starting to creep in
Right In Two and Pneuma are Tool's deep end. Gotta do those next!
Right in Two is so overlooked. Love that song
I'm 53 and been listening to Tool since the beginning. This song is arguably the best they've ever done. It took me several times listening to it after the CD came out but eventually, it hit me. A technical masterpiece.
The whole song is a work of utter genius, as are most Tool songs. It builds, weaves, teases amd has a different meaning to everyone that hears it. These guys just get better and better. Incomparable with any other artist, they challenge you everytime you hear them. Spiral out....
The whole point of the pondering on and repetition is to create an atmosphere and have a big build up tool and all progressive music are the complete opposite of instant gratification, they are meditative pieces of art that are meant for multiple listening like you said before you can completely grasp what they are trying to convey it’s all about mood composition and reflection
Are you teyong to use that principle by avoiding all punctuation? 🤣
With every passing day/month/year, these lyrics hit harder and harder. Great reaction.
When I hear this song, I feel like I am in a war. It starts off slow as if its the start of the war where you are preparing yourself for what’s to come and when it picks up its like I’m in the battle itself. the slow parts were like an intermission from the battle to catch my breath and just digesting what’s happening. Then when it picks back up it’s like I’m back bearing arms again. I imagine the sound has to slow down in order for it to have its meaning. When you get older and you are in “battle” with the younger generations you have to have a cool down because your body doesn’t have the stamina it used to but yet you still get back up and push through like the warrior you are.
That was beautifully described! I feel the same thing about the slower parts of the song - the warrior is taking a breath, surveying the battlefield, taking it all in while they wait to dive bravely back into the fray!
Descending and Invincible are my current 2 favorite TOOL songs.
I love how the song just sounds like its struggling to stay together at parts. Lol
Its risky song writing but pays off big time at the end. Love it!!!!
That mind-blowing moment when (if) you realize that the freaky-sounding solo from 17:05 to 17:52 is actually a bass guitar being wielded by the maestro Justin as only Justin can! 🤯🤯🤯😎
Whoa 🤯
It's a masterclass in nastiness
I’m 69 years old . My kids listened to Tool in their teens way back . I’ve been to three Tool concerts with my daughter . I remember when my son was in middle school , he discovered Carey , saying he and Perth were the greatest drummers in the world .
It's always fun for me when this happens. Someone reacts to a masterpiece as "meh". In your case, you have my full respect, because you know how it goes. You listen to it once, it's meh. Second time you notice something you really like and you missed before. Fast forward a few repeats, you're just hooked to the damn song.
This song is just breathtaking, after you get "comfortable" with it. I feel with Tool that you enjoy their songs the best when you know what's coming next on each song.
For example, during your reaction I was already full stank face a few seconds before the big drop, you just can't help it when you know it's coming.
Cheers, keep those videos coming man
Get out of my brain!
I've been part of the Tool army for 18 years and even I think that this song and this album is pretty meh. Maynard has lost his grit, and yes Danny is basically the best drummer in the world but the music has shifted to him being the main focal point instead of that awesome blend it used to have. I listen to Tool daily, but in all honesty this album is never ever ever ever one I pick tracks from.
@@tobiaswedin Honestly I don't pick tracks. I just play it on random from all Tool collection, and wherever it lands, I'll be happy.
This song resonates through my bones. ✊🏽🔥
I’m like you, I’d heard of the band, heard the name, but never heard the music. One day they came up on RUclips live, 2023 tour somewhere. Tools music… speechless! I was hooked, line and sinker. My favorite band EVER and I’m 65. They just came through are area and I had just missed them and was just devastated, devastated!! Given the Beatles, Zeplin, or any other band throughout history, I would pass them All up for the worst seat at a Tool concert. Their music is mesmerizing, hypnotic and for Danny, that guy is a god!
This is a song that takes a few listens to fully digest. It helps experiencing it live too. When you realize at 17:05 that's Justin playing, and at 18:43, Danny is playing the synth...the song's complexity resonates a little more.
Love the reactions. I enjoy experiencing these songs again for the first time, vicariously (see what I did there), through you. A few more suggestions...you're ready for Right In Two. Rosetta Stoned is one of their most "fun" songs, imo. Eulogy and Third Eye are two of my personal favorites. Then give Swamp Song, Undertow & Flood a go for a taste of earlier, "angry" Tool. And if you want full DC beast mode drumming, listen to Ticks & Leeches. Keep spiraling out 🌀🤘
The Grudge is one you will definitely want to hear, and at around 16 minutes 7empest is a wild ride! I just keep gravitating back to Tool they speak to me in ways I can't even effectively describe. Btw Descending is also my fave Tool song and one of my fave songs in general! With Invincible I got reamed in the comments on another reactor channel for admitting I liked the song better when I first heard it than I do now, which is rare for me with Tool. I get the whole purpose of the song being structured as it is in light of the lyrics but at certain points it just becomes a bit too monotonous for me. Blasphemy I know but it's just my genuine response.
How many bands can write a song in 7/8 and it seem so natural?? When I saw them in 2019, the crowd was able to nod along with this (and all of their tracks in odd time) and move in unison. A sight to behold and experience!
Nickelback can
I would personally say you're about ready for the holy trinity, after like 2 more tool songs i HIGHLY recommend "dispostion, reflection, triad" it's basically 3 songs connected to 1. I always wait till last minite to recommend it to other reactors to react, but i feel like you're ready
Knock it off.
I still think The Grudge, Jambi, Right in Two, Hooker with a Penis, Undertow, Opiate, and many more should be appreciated before delving into the Holy Trinity.
@@MitigateOurRuin i agree on the grudge and right in two
My new fav Tool song of all time…or Rosetta stoned…..lol
You join The Tool Army from the 1st listen my man! The rest is simply falling in love with them!
My favorite song on this album is Culling Voices. Looooong build up and then like an explosion. It is hard to watch the traffic when you hear it in the car and your head always wants to shake 😅
I have heard every single tool song but that one. I'm kind of saving myself for it
Its the 'hidden' gem of the album. It doesn't get the recognition of the other songs released off of Fear Inoculum... not sure why....its a great song
Yep great song
I love watching you watch these. This song blew my mind from the first time I heard it (duh, it’s Tool). But watching people hear them for the first time is so fun and your commentary on all your reaction vids are excellent. Keep goin’ brah! The line “But the truth never got in my way before now, feel the sting, feeling time bearing down” chokes me up. I’ve been listening to this band since their first album when I was 19 so, do the math.
This song is one of those Tool rarities that puts a lump in my throat because it reminds me of my Dad, who personally has always been and still is my hero and greatest teacher in life. Seeing him age I can see how he's slowly deteriorating but his will and inner light is still so powerful but limited by his aging body. Such a beautiful song.
For me, the funny part is when he watches this video in a few months after hearing this track a dozen times. He will have changed his mind. For me Descending & Tempest are the best off this album, but this is another amazing creation of beauty from Tool. I really am incredibly thankful that I developed musically in the time of Tool.
This song is everything. It’s musical Utopia to me.
Tool just amazes me. Incredible to think these guys at the age they are can create the most beautiful, complex, captivating music out there. True masters at their craft. #toolarmy for life
I can’t not fixate at that wee gravity trinket on the left, goes really well with TOOL songs
Yes sir you are part of the Tool army. Welcome and enjoy the ride
the song , jimmy and pushit really grew on me i love those songs now. i know how you feel.
This is the song that got me to the album. Just adore it, especially as a OLD martial artist. I FEEL these lyrics. Polo, love your thoughts. Could not agree more with how you feel.
I remember the first time i listened to this song. After the 3rd time i was completely in love with it. The lyrics. The build up. Its just perfect 🙏
what you said toward the end struck a chord w me. Hearing a song for the first time creates trauma in your brain. It's taking in new info w no idea what's to come next. Hearing the song again reinforces the new pathways built in the brain and can alter your reality, thought processing. A friend of mine didn't like tool but I still made him listen every 6 months or so. After years of this I snuck all of my tool cds into his vehicle visor cd holder. None of the cds have writing other so he popped one in and now loves them.
God damn this is hilarious lmfao
Ok, I am so blown away!!! My younger brother has been a fan of Tool for well, since their beginning I guess! For lack of a better word, I was kind of scared to listen to them, don't ask me why, bc I cannot explain. Now, I was born in the early 60's and I love music...lots of different kinds of music, RNR being my favorite. Alternative, modern, grunge, classic, progressive you name it, I will most likely develop a taste for it. My brother once told me about 10-15 years ago that I knew of bands before anyone else had ever heard of them! lol a bit of an exaggeration if you ask me, but he wished he knew as many bands as I do. So thanks to you, Polo Mars, I have been listening to your reaction videos and am totally getting immersed in their greatness! While listening, I called him up and said, "hear this" and put phone to speaker. He was like, "So what, you're listening to Tool, now?" I'm like, "Dude, f'n yeah!" He says, "pfft I've only been telling you about Tool and Perfect Circle for 20 years!" So thank you, Polo, and in return I turned him on to your channel!
I think I feel the same way about the song even now. It's a slow chill song for the most part. I think the lyrics and the interpretation and the relatable theme is what brings the most value to this song. I am getting older, but everyone I think can feel the emotions that this song could evoke because we all get to that point in our lives if we are blessed. These guys have made their name known, put out some incredible music that even changed lives. So I think it really feels heartfelt when you hear those lyrics and take in that this was Tool after being gone from the scene for like 13 years. Coming back and trying to catch lightning in a bottle again. I think that really gets to me because I was a fan before this album came out.. didn't think they were coming back with this... when they did I had mixed feelings on the songs... but over time and hearing it over and over I came to appreciate the pressure that they endured to make this album. Knowing what they had done before, I went to hear them live and was still blown away. Ever since then I think this song makes me feel a bit anxious but inspired. It's not a song I think I just jam out with but a song that reminds me of the passing of time bearing down on us all. Thanks for the reaction Polo, genuine or not (not saying it isn't genuine) it was a great listen and you did a good job just taking it in. Lots of pressure from Tool army, but it's just passion so don't let it get to ya. Can't wait for more in general but off this album Tempest is a fun ride.
Outstanding!! Thanks for a genuine reaction. Never stop being completely honest. That's why we all love this channel. Can't wait to see what's next.
One of the things I love most about Tool is each sone has a DNA. Often it's in the drums. Listen to the 1,2,3... 1,2,3... Danny starts with and then listen out for that same rhythm throughout in different guises.
Their songs grow and grow over years! Im listening to Tool since 2001 and i discover new things every time i rehear any of their songs. It's so incredible.
Ayeeee good man I knew you saw my list of gems this one and descending are the best songs from the last album they put out
"Lurching into the fray, weapon out--belly in" is so visually and viscerally powerful. I believe this song is about their return after 15 years.
They're from another planet. Cannot replicate Tool
You’re my favorite “reactor” right now. Intelligent comments well delivered. Keep going please. This is how I wrap my day up. Listening to these 💪🏽
I enjoy his reactions too.
7empest from this album will blow your mind
You always make me love my favourite tracks more. Thank you friend ✌🏽❤️
If you love Danny's playing, then the instrumental track from Fear Inoculum called "Chocolate Chip Trip" is IMMACULATE!
I saw them play this live before hearing the studio version. Mind was blown
Polo, good sir... To me, hearing even one song, liking it, and realizing that Tool is special, makes you a solid member of the Tool Army. A contributing and appreciated member, at that!
Danny is the king of polyrhythms
As a 68 yr old this song is a gut punch to the reality we live at that age.
Tool should be played on roller coasters and other adventurous rides.
Many of us come into our true heroism and artistry at later ages. Especially those of us who were violently discouraged and had to shore up our self esteem and overcome. Blue ribbons all around!
Well said! And felt.
@POLO REACTS Maynard had to get a Double Hip Replacement from Stomping while Performing every night as he Sang! 👌
Love this track--when I first heard it--I was not sure I liked it...then I was like HOLY SH+T! It's a battle song with a great theme--reminded me of the movie 300 ....crazy good! Thanks for your reviews! Awesome
It may just be me growing up around my dad’s engine shop as a kid, but this song sounds like an engine going in and out of time. Sometimes it sounds like they are misfiring, and then it syncs up in perfect time and hums in unison.
One more thing, “Invincible” precedes “Descending” on Fear Innoculum. And since the album is intended to be heard in sequence, you will now understand how the two songs are complements to each other.
Tool forces you to be patient. As I get older I realize this. You have to just let it happen,, this song is a great example of that.
I only had the pleasure of seeing them once in concert, after awhile, I was convinced I was high and hallucinating, then I realised I hadn’t even had a drink, I was just at a tool show.
buddy always immediately understands the meanings of these songs his first time listening, shit goes hard
My experience with Fear Inoculum has shown that the sum is greater than its individual parts. Each song can stand alone, but listening to the whole album shows the true masterpiece.
This is one of the best drum songs ever. So unique, and a very expensive drum set that sounds amazing. Can't beat that
Pun intended or nah lol
Thanks for giving context about your process with these songs. It is fun to witness you enjoying Tool. Sometimes I wish I was a new tool fan just so I could re- experience all their music for the first time
It took me 20 years to like Tool, then another 1 to love them. You'll get there 😂
When I last seen them in May last year. At the concert he said he's 58 looking 48 acting 28. 💙
I’m about to listen to this but before this cd came out, invincible instantly became my favorite song. It still is the 💎 of this record
Best concert Ive ever been to.. and my favorite TOOL song
You really should do their really early stuff so that you can hear how Tool has evolved with their music, over the decades.
If you're officially part of the Tool Army, I don't think anyone would be upset if you just did the discography at this point. Would provide plenty of content for the foreseeable future and we would show up no doubt
I'm 44 now and this song resonates so deeply with me now. I'm slowing down and getting older and I can so relate with this story.
This song is a full journey. From the slow beginning to the breaks to Maynard's voice tone changing each time as if he is becoming older in the song itself.
I like witnessing your journey and discovery of this band and their uniqueness.
I'm 63 and still listening toTool and all the greats.
Tool songs are designed to "unfold" in layers like the layers of an onion or the way the petals of a rose open up. I've been listening to TOOL for years and I'm still finding deeper appreciations with each listen
YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS! This is myfavorite song by Tool just in front of Pneuma and Lateralus and Descending.. Great reaction ! Next level stankface in last half of the song when Danny goes to outer space on the kit!
I can’t wait for you to see a live Tool show. Will be EPIC. Please go see them!
I love your header 'be you, they'll adjust'. Something I need to remind myself to do. Tools music is so therapeutic. I just started listening to them about 9 yrs ago. Heard them on a Rock radio station, & loved almost every song they played, in all three of his bands. 😂 I say I'm not a 'tool army' person. But I think I am, and I can't control it. And I'm cool with that. 😂
I've listened to Tool since the beginning. Never really knew the lyrics. I'm that guy.
Only now with you tube, you get lyric videos. Words are nice to understand.
I used to not be a big fan of tool ..but after a semester of physics and calculus I love them more now. :P
This song was made to go with the light show. Check out some concert videos of it on RUclips.
The More I watch ❤ the more I want to play the drums ❤ peace Polo ✌️❤
The drummer Danny is a big basketball fan /player too...I love it that hes into sports....
If their music speaks to you on that level, you are clearly part of the Army.
As always this is one my favs 😂 Every song I hear is my favorite at the time I'm hearing it apparently lol. My personal initiation into the Tool Army is listening through every album at least once. 😁
Hey man, you're super insightful. I enjoy your videos because you bring interesting perspectives to the table. Thanks dude!
