My dad passed away on December 13th, 2011. He was 36 years old and was taken by lung cancer. He was a thrash metal guitarist all through his youth, then we got him an acoustic. He never touched an electric guitar again. He listened to TOOL religiously and all of his music was similar. He was fantastic. I remember the long car rides with him listening to TOOL nonstop. I hate that he isn't here to experience this album with me. This song in particular makes me miss him. I like to close my eyes and pretend he's here listening with me. RIP TJ Butler. I love you, daddy.
I am 52. I have made myself a complete stranger to this band my entire life. I knew the name, but never gave them a chance. That changed 3 months ago and now I am addicted. This is one of the best bands ever.
Carey's drumming is organic, dynamic and unconventional. He doesn't keep a beat, yet he does. Even the odd timing isn't repetitive. Very unique in his approach. Typically a drummer establishes a beat of some sort then adds flourishes and fills. Carey does that without doing that. His drumming frames the song, drives the song, and is the song's foundation. His drumming has more to do with the unique sound of Tool than any drummer who influenced the sound of their band since Keith Moon. The early Who would have never sounded the way they did without Keith. I can't imagine another drummer taking Carey's place and having Tool sound like Tool. He's the heart of the band.
i jokingly mentioned this in a tool "group" and was instantly thought a fool... I didn't even mean it literally... but doesn't he seem to be the heartbeat of the band.. even if sometimes Danny has arrhythmia....
I can watch the Pneuma Vic Firth drum cam of Carey every day. Best drummer out there, hands down, imo. And after seeing the drum cam I now notice even more how much influence he has in the songs.
I’m also 25 and born in 1994, but I didn’t start listening to Tool until 2010 when I was still in high school. But I’m glad I’ve lived up to this point and got to know their discography along the way and I’m proud to call myself a fan.
My father was a major tool fan, and played their music all the time while I was growing up. Sadly I never got into them myself until about a year ago. My dad passed in 2014 so I will never get the chance to enjoy the band with him, but I fully understand why he found such solace in their music. Well dad, they finally released a new album like you wanted, and I'm happy to say that it is fucking amazing. R.I.P Dennis Burchett 11/28/2014
🤘😆🤘 never quit brother So born in 70? You remember the 80s! The 90s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy crap dude we are so lucky and the world needs our wisdom now and into the future. Fight for whats right!
My best friend that introduced me to Tool many years ago did not live to see this day. Rest in peace old friend, I dedicate every listen of this album to you and all the other tool fans that aren't here to witness this monumental moment.

My daughter fought for years to a eating disorder, and last week her heart stopped, and she couldn’t be saved, but Tool has allways been with me through all those tough times, and still is

Man, I’ve been dealing with so much depression and have been pushed to my mental capacity for weeks now. Can’t even really put into words how grateful I am for this album right now.
This song is like a battle cry! I've been listening to it nearly every day for at least four years during my workouts. It builds up so intensely! Im from Norway, and in my mind it conjures up the image of an ancient berserker Viking entering his final fight, pouring out every ounce of his strength. "Warrior, struggling to remain relevant, to remain consequential" - these words echo as the tempo shifts, and I envision the berserker steeling himself for his ultimate battle. Then, around the 8:50 mark, he throws himself into the fray, wielding his longsword, plunging deeper into the melee, facing increasingly brutal challenges. "Before now, feel the sting, feeling time bearing down, bearing down" - he fights with everything he has, cutting down his last enemies, and in his death finds tranquility... Valhalla awaits.
Lol, great minds think alike. I saw the first line of your post and thought of Valhalla right away. I see at the end you were on that trajectory as well. 😁 Got my sword earrings ready to wear next time I go out. 😊
the first time I heard this and Maynard said the lines "feel the sting, feeling time, bearing down" it just hit me like a ton of bricks... suddenly I'm all too aware of the 20-some odd years that have passed since I first became a fan of this band.. very humbling and sobering, just the reality the inevitable passage of TIME, onward, unflinching, merciless, never stopping, leaving us all behind eventually... Damn, anyhow! On a lighter note, one of the first things I sort of associated with this song, other then my own personal feelings, man... I thought of the undertaker. The pro wrestler the undertaker! Arguably the greatest CHARACTER of all time.. I was a huge fan as a kid, and now as an adult I have almost a new appreciation for the business, and.. I dunno. The dead man, the phenom, the fuckin LEGEND, the undertaker... Every time I hear this song now I think of him. Thanks for the memories sir, and you will forever be missed! You had the career of a lifetime, and you have more than earned your place in history! Heavy shield down.. ✌️✌️✌️ *(ps) going to see tool in like ten days, at Bridgestone in Nashville! Only the second time seeing them live, can't wait!
So I've been thinking about the meaning of 'Fear Inoculum' since the release, and it got me thinking about the meanings and overall vibes of other Tool albums Undertow is a dark, nihilistic and violent album. It's themes are abuse, addiction, violence and depravity. It feels like a torture dungeon or something. The music is brutal and unrelenting, with few moments of light or relief. Aenima is the most varied and therefore hard to pin down, but I think broadly its about the human mind and is a call to spiritual awakening. As such the music has a strange, trippy and unsettling vibe, that gets deep inside your brain. It feels more like a laboratory or a messy study. Lateralus is a deeply spiritual and humanistic album about the origins of human beings, our purpose, our relationships with others, and the nature of our own consciousness. It feels like an ancient temple or holy place, with its mystic rhythms and cryptic lyrics. 10000 Days is a very emotional record, its more about human nature in the personal sense, and our attitudes toward each other. It feels like an open landscape, a tapestry depicting the struggles of human beings and the nature of our societies. The music, with its tribal influences, supports this too. So Fear Inoculum, the clue is in the title, from the Latin Inoculus, means in the modern sense to immunise or protect against some disease or ailment. This album feels like a weird, alien landscape, with its droning, repetitive motifs and strange noises, along with that artwork. Human beings naturally fear the unknown, we fear the future, we fear ourselves. This album encourages us to confront those fears, confront what we fear because we are not familiar with it, innoculate ourselves against this fear and move forwards. It sounds alien and impenetrable, but is anything but, it affirms us to keep moving in spite of our fear.
Also 10,000 days was about Marie his mother an he deeply rooted religious beliefs that even though she was put into a coma that still was Gods plan for her an remained faithful until her death. Which also is about the amount of time it takes for Saturn to orbit the Sun 9,855 days so interwoven with Lateralus at the same time. Like the rabbit hole you went down on these thoughts
I was diagnosed with cancer in March 2022, having previously been fit, healthy and active. This song immediately became relevant to my coming battle against cancer. I was lucky enough to see Tool at the O2 Arena in London this year, 4 weeks after my second surgery, they closed with Invincible, I cried.
I was diagnosed with cancer on May 2022. Right now recovering at home after an esophagectomy. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Trust me. I also lean on Tool for my fight. Saw them in Memphis in January 2020 and fell in love.
Where in London? I am going over Seas soon as, I can. I haven't been to England yet. Please tell me where to go and what to do. England has so much History and Great Britain has The Liberty Bell
As a person who suffers chronic illness/pain, this song is my anthem! Once was healthy & vital.. then it was taken from me in an instant. Dr after Dr, test after test, needle after needle.. Tool is my escape it’s my best drug/therapy. Definitely releasing those “good feeling” endorphins. To all the pain warriors out there.. fight on ♥️♥️
@@joeblow1942 I find it entertaining that the first place your mind goes is "iT's TeH vAcKsCeNeS", instead of one of the numerous and more likely explanations for why a person would be afflicted with pain later in life.
@@josephmonkele5992 Glad you find it “entertaining” but I know quite a few people that got them and are now suffering with serious health issues. It’s a huge problem now.
@@joeblow1942 Alright. Jokes aside, what kind of issues suddenly came up after getting the vaccine, that they didn't struggle with before or have a genetic predisposition to?
My husband is end of life cared in a hospice, due aggressive stomach cancer, linitis plastica. He is only 48 years old and before cancer he trained many different ways to keep healthy. All his life studied martial arts and self defence training. He is my warrior. Fighting against cancer, but now too tired and fading away. This song is his 'power song'..
My husband passed away 7/8/22 after long battle with aggressive stomach cancer. I miss him so much. Hope I will come a warrior and get through this life without him..
His lesson is about surrender.. one that is hard for many of us 😔 may he have a good journey and not be afraid 🙏 prayers for you and all of your shared loved ones 🔥 ❤️ 🐾

Absolutely love how Tool transcends genres, ages, generations, tastes, everything else honestly. This music just satiates what we all desire in our primal selves. Fuckin rock on
I was never into Tool before but I had heard about how this was their first album in so many years so I decided to give them a shot because of all the hype and I'll admit, this is amazing I'm hooked af. Musically it's insanely good but what gets me the most is how awesome I feel while listening to it. It's been one of the toughest years for me filled with some much anxiety and stress but the minute I gave this album a shot, all that shit went away and instantly felt so much better. Now I've been listening to this nonstop and I'm a new fan. I totally understand the hype. Cheers!!
Hey man, welcome aboard! I suggest Lateralus as the next tool album you give a shot. That one is my all time favorite record. As far as new records go, this might actually be my 2nd favorite and I couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out!!
Find their song Reflection. It is my mantra and I discovered it while in a difficult phase of life. It really is part of me now. I hope you find the same. Listen with headphones and lyrics in hand, and lose yourself in it to find yourself in it.
Thanks!! I'm in the middle of fighting cancer right now. Finished chemo and about to start stem cell transplant. Every time I'm in hospital for a period of time I blast tool on my head phones. This shit gets me through anything. I didn't give this album a chance until recently when I printed out the lyrics to the entire album and got lost in this fur a few hours .... SICK . I've fought cancer twice now and survived many heroin over doses. I'm 3 years clean now and tool music is all the deeper hearing it with a clear mind....RIP to all the tool fans who didn't live to hear this album
I've never seen a RUclips comments section with this much positivity. Tool is badass..... And all you fans out there are making me proud to be among the fold.
I was thinking the same been stealing my sisters tool cds since i was 5. Im 30 now they are the best bro i saw them in concert when they did pushit i almost shit myself
Amen buddy ...A-fucking-men 🤟🏻people can talk shit about Tool fans all they want but we know what the real deal is so fuck em,it’s their loss as far as I’m concerned ,I know without a doubt who the best band on the planet is so I’m good with whatever they wanna say
Wow yeah...i've been going through comments of 3 now. It's really a big hug to everyone listening. Seen em live a while back. Heard these live before the studio version. It's the same. Except i'm in my bed in the dark with my ear-goggles on
Lifelong Led Zeppelin fan and heard a few Tool songs occasionally over the radio while driving. Always cranked them up. Was recently talking with a coworker about music and he brought up Tool. Went home that night and listened to their version of No Quarter, which lead to listening to many other songs. WOW! I've been missing out, but at 65 years old I've got plenty of years left to still crank them up just like I'm doing now.
So I'm the exact opposite. Except for age - 62 🤜🏼🤛🏼. I've been a huge fan of Tool since the first time I heard Sober back in the early 90's. Saw them on their Ænima tour. But here it is 5+ years after this album came out, and this was the first time I've played this tune, or most of the rest of this album which I'm in the process of correcting. I feel so ashamed... Lol
Six hour shift at work, had it on loop the whole day. Could feel I was sharing this moment with millions around the world. Epic, momentous, emotional, Tool.
One thing you can always say about Tool songs is that each listening is an unwrapping. Each listen discovers more and more underneath as you unwrap and discover new depths. Layer by layer, each listen, deeper and deeper, yet never arriving at any core - only more.
This is absolutely my favorite track on the album. I am a veteran myself who continues to serve, providing medical care at the VA. When I see all of my brethren with multiple ailments from years of service everyday, this song is all I hear in my head. It is both saddening and uplifting in the same breath. I wish this could be played over the speakers in the hospital on repeat as a theme song. Thank you Tool. And thank you Maynard for your service. Words cannot express how needed this song is.
Thank you for your service both in and out of the military. I'm glad you are in the VA, brother. All of you at the VA deserve so much recognition. It is very much appreciated.
Christopher Schuyler Army vet and VA Nurse myself! Saw my first Tool concert way back in 2001, when I was stationed at Fort Knox. Made the 2-3 hour drive to Indianapolis. I think Lateralus had just been released.
Lies. You found the trending button and copied some other clowns like whoring story. In no way does that story relate, it only says you are 40 and still punishing.
Grew up without a real family.. spent the last 6 years by myself, but today I find myself feeling anything BUT lonely. So many people here to embrace, appreciate, and love a band that has done SO much for me mentally... I think we all needed this on some level Me and all my friends from Canada, forever salute you Tool, and all my fellow fans.
i think of tool for what is left over from classical music passed on to our modern era of musical style. i feel the same way like you said - a finale, and i bloody love it
Was just having a discussion about life after more than two decades of military service. The desire to stay relevant when relevancy was determined by an individual’s level of lethal efficiency.
I definitely wasn’t in as long as you were. I looked forward to coming home and leaving the service. Once I got out I realized how hard it was to “leave the service.” Just because we leave the war behind and transition to civilians doesn’t mean we cease to think and feel like warriors. I can’t imagine how the adjustment is after 20 years. This song really does strike deep in the sense that you described.

As a 57 year old Marine veteran of 13 years, State Dept 2 years, and PMC for the past 10.. Being a warrior in all sense of a warrior to hear this song the first time I had tears after listening the first time. It so eloquently spelled out what I never was able to explain to others. I am now at a point of life where I can no longer search for the fountain.. This is too powerful a song and MJK sent it when I needed it. Tool music has been with me since the 90's and being in Albania. This whole album has helped me get through the pain and I mean pain physically and mentally from years of preparing to fight and the trauma of actually fighting. I look forward to finding my future, maybe make wine myself, accept retirement.....maybe.... I am still holding that shield, you just can't put it down....
Beautifully and we'll said! Thank you for your services! God bless you. My dad/ my best friend was a warrior. He was a Navy veteran. He passed away on my daughter's birthday. August 28th 2020. I miss him with every fiber in my body. He taught me how to be the warrior I am! I love u all! RIP Blake Abel! I can't wait to see I again dad!!!!💙💎💙💎💙💎
I am so glad that I was able to grow old listening to Tool! The band is nothing that nobody can ever duplicate! Thank you Maynard for making my life better hearing your lyrical genius.
I have been diagnosed with clinical depression. After I was left without friends, on my own all alone again, i fell into a deep depression. I didn't wanted to listen to anything that reminded me of those who abandoned me, it hurted too much. Now i finally, after many months of not listening to anything, i decided to type in the search bar Tool, and found this song that i used to listen a lot. Tool really has been with me through some of my darkest and hardest times. Now i know i need to become a warrior, one that will keep struggling to remain relevant. Depression wont beat me, i will win in the end, and i will then scream "HERE I AM!"
Dude Sebastian Torres you've got to listen to all Tools music my friend. You are on the right track and you have every reason in this world to feel alive! You are here and you are a bad ass!!!

I can’t tell if he’s saying “longing for another wind” or “win” ,the wind being like a second wind,burst of energy type thing....I’ll find out eventually I’m sure 🤟🏻🤓
Aging metal head here, a child of 70’s 80’s metal. Had heard of Tool but just started listening to them and all I can say is WOW. They have taken it to a whole new level. True artists accomplished in their craft.
How is it possible that after 7 months of listening non stop, this album keeps getting better every time?!!! Tool fan since my senior year in 93 w Undertow, and still listen everyday
It helps alleviate the torrential sadness that was creeping into my mind all day... It might not be helping my body pain but easing my mind is more than enough. I'm so thankful that it came today bc I don't know how much longer I could've kept myself from embracing the darkness & falling into the abyss of hopelessness 💜
Tool has always helped me release emotion. Sometimes we hold things in and when I hear them create, magic i will feel the music and it will help me release feelings I thought I couldn't. It makes my mind expand, I feel more counciance to everything, way more in tuned to myself. It's so awesome with these bands, everyone has a different way they interpret the song meaning for them. I wish I had a friend that I could sit across from and ask how they interpreted the song. Not too many people I know have really heard of stool or they're really not into them. It blows my mind. How could you not fucking love that shit. When I first heard 46 and 2 and parabola oh, that completely changed my life. I started looking at myself differently and others differently. They are fucking geniuses!
@@brandilong1972 beautifully said. It would be super interesting to be able to get someone elses well thought out and nuanced perception of the art they are hearing for sure
My deceased mom passed from cancer before this was released. She introduced me to TOOL many years ago. I hope she's enjoying this as much as I am wherever she may be.
Hi, My condolences to you. Nothing I say will make a difference for the loss you feel. Just know, I'm a mother and if possible when I'm gone my spirit will be with my sons.
My brother died in 2009. He was the victim of a drunk driving accident, he was 26 years old when he passed and his favourite band was tool. That was 10 years ago and I can clearly remember that the last thing we talked about was if tool would ever put out a new album, while sitting at the west Edmonton mall food courts, he said that they would and was very sure it would've been sometime that year. it wasn't that year. I didn't know who they were at the time but I carried on the conversation because I hadn't seen him in 4 years and just hearing his voice was liberating. He died two months later. When I was 17 years old, I thought this band was weird af because I didn't understand music yet. I'm 27 years old today, that's one year older than my brother was when he passed away and now i know why this was his favourite band of all time. It took 10 years and some heartbreak; but I get it.
Very sorry for your loss. People think Tool fans are cynics, but I haven't seen more optimistic people. Ironically, listening to Tool challenges my cynicism and makes me start feeling again. I lost a loved one in 2016. And this album gives me some semblance of closure. So, spiral out and keep going!
I earnestly hope that people come to recognize the immense power and energy that music holds. Music possesses a unique ability to heal on multiple levels - psychologically, physically, and spiritually. Its transformative power can penetrate deep into our psyche, providing comfort and clarity during times of mental distress. It can energize the body, encouraging physical movement and promoting overall well-being. Spiritually, music can elevate us, connecting us to a higher state of consciousness and fostering a sense of unity and peace. (18/6/2024)
That’s the fear, the sadness, that we are flirting with extinction, but the song is about coming in at that moment and saying hey be strong YOU FUCKING GOT THIS that’s the message of the album. The message is supposed to immunize you from fear by facing it head on.
I was fortunate enough to catch this album the minute it dropped on RUclips AND ... The first time I ever did PCP aka Angel Dust... I literally smoked a dipper and 5 minutes later I get a notification that Tool has new album out... I put my JBL headphones on and drifted into psychedelic nirvana.... Lasted 6 hours with effects waning at dawn... Truly amazing synchronicity on the part of the universe I must say ... I was never a Tool head before that day really but I am firmly in the Tool box now!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I have been working 60-70 hours a week for the past 5 years doing manual Labor. You guys always get me through it. And this song really helps me through on the tough days. Thank you TOOL!!
Its all about frequencies, hertz,polytonic notes and chords. Along with meaningful lyrics and extremely talented musicians and you have sounds that soothe the mind and body. There is no other band like tool out there,a one off group of incredibly talented guys.
@@truthwarrior122 the only time ive ever seen frequencies was when i was tripping on acid,but if you meditate to certain tool songs you definitely can feel the frequencies.
This is a pretty trippy song... I've only heard it once, and only 2/3 of it. Feels like I need to accomplish something big before I can listen to the rest of it. I need a rite of passage and this song is the catharsis.

Was riding down the road last night with my 9 year old daughter in my truck with this song blasting. She started laughing and said she got the goosebumps. I was like why, she said "cause I like it" literally got me choked up and brought a tear to my eye. This same daughter loves 80s rock and will headbang to it. #winning #raisingthemright
Chris Topher : My little man (Macho he was a 6 year old French Bulldog) died the day the Fear single was released 🥺he wouldn’t eat about a week before so we took him to the vets & things just got worse & a week later he was gone,it totally shattered me but I will say I took some comfort in music (mostly Tool) but very little....I miss him soooo much but I understand as you get older death starts to become a bigger part of your life,I’m 48 & I never thought I’d see 30 so.....🤷🏼♂️🤘🏻🖤thinking of you little man
When I hear a good song, I want to hear it again. When I hear a great song, I want someone else to hear it. When I hear TOOL, I _need_ everyone else to hear it.
Invincible is totally a Top 10 Tool song for me. The first few times I heard the song I didn't get it at all because it was so much slower and not hard hitting the whole time, like the older stuff. Seemed long and boring. Then one time I just had the song in my Playlist playing in the background not really paying attention while reading internet stuff. The build-up of the song is great and you need to be patient. The song is literally telling a story, starting out slow, building up, stopping, getting heavier, stopping and then a hardcore finale. Believe it or not you wish the song was LONGER once you're hooked on it. It literally seems like a 5 minute song that's over when you're just really getting into it.
I don't care what anyone says. This shit is pleasing to the ear. My household likes other stuff but this is what me and my 10 month old son listen to. He falls asleep to tool for whatever reason. He just finds it soothing as do I. Thanks for the new album
Literally in the car getting my 15 month old to fall asleep to this song. This is the song he falls asleep to every night for some reason. Hahaha we tried lullibies and all that, nothing worked but this album.
... Uh, really lol no one's going to state the obvious here? Your 10 month old son will listen to anything. He will fall asleep to anything, when he's tired(non indicative of the object being enjoyed). This isn't about caring what I say. This is a fact.
It's a sextuplet fill wich repeats the "right and left hand, right kick, left kick" pattern twice per quarter note. Easy to perform, but sounds super dope.
Too the Tool Army, I became a Fan about 18 months ago, and have been dropped into the Tool rabbit hole ever since 😂😂, this year I turned 60 and as a treat to myself, booked good tickets for their Birmingham, UK Show, as I’d seen so many comments mentioning ‘You must see them LIVE’. All I can say is WOW! They truly are Incredible! Obviously with such a back catalogue of music they’re not going to play all my faves, but they did play this ‘Invincible’ which made my night! Keep Rocking Tool Army, it was a Pleasure being in the same room as these Rock Legends 🤘🤘🤘😎😎😎
They are one of the bands that makes me think differently when writing my poetry. When I look back at old poems I can tell what I was listening to as I wrote. It’s harder to write to this than rap that’s for sure
My mom introduced me to TOOL as a young kid . She passed awhile just a little while ago and I know she would be so fucking excited for this . So awesome to hear new music from them
My kids have listened to TOOL since they were born (1 and 4). My oldest daughter and I had this cranked on a country backroad the other night with the windows down and she was actually quiet and you could see the TOOL trance on her face :) :)
100 % and so humble as well, a great human all in all. And besides when I learned that bonham was one of his big influences, It was suprising but immediately made sense. Would love to meet him sometime for sure!! And now colaborating with steve vai on king crimson band, what a nice world we live Innnn!!!!
Agreed. I liked Pneuma and that was it the first time. I told my wife I was disappointed. 8 months later and I can't get enough. Every single day on the drive to work. Drive home. I sit in the drive to finish the album. Amazing.
We are all dust returning to dust. We are all insignificant flashes in an infinite pan. I'm glad you loved yourself enough to face another day. You are beautiful brother!!! ❤
Really. I remember getting their last album on my 14th birthday. I've been through a lot of hard and arduous since then and one can only imagine how many of us can agree...if they're alive. But WE made it somehow and what a celebration this is.
First heard Sober in one of the classrooms in high school in '93. I remember exactly where I was standing. I've seen a lot of shit since then, but I'M STILL HERE.
My heart hurts for the people who will never get to experience the creativity, pure talent and genius assembled in this band. One of the all time greats. Thank you for all that you have given us
I've listened to many different types of music over the years. I don't know if there is a band that has the creativity and talent that Tool has. Let me throw out a few bands I can think of The Doors? Pink Floyd?
That wal bass is beast, and Justin plays it like an animal... that’s one originally drew me into tool, I never heard music where the bass was pretty out front instead of muffled under the other instruments... and I fucking liked it! 🤘😈🤘 I def like Justin’s playing better, but Paul drew me in... two badass musicians
100% agreed. Everyone seemed to get their moment on this record and this was definitely Justin's. Just an absolute masterclass of creativity and precision
Same here I just came back to this album tonight to give it another chance and this time its like something clicked and I was meant to be here at some point
I'm in my forties and have only recently got into Tool. In one way I wish I'd got into them years ago, but at the same time, I don't think I'd have appreciated them like I do at my age now.
First time I heard Invincible I was like.. meh just ok. Most of the new Tool songs are unlike earlier TOOL songs that are adrenaline pumping from start to finish. They start out slow and build up to more classic Tool at the end. I find all the songs on the new album are best listened to just playing in the background when your not really paying attention and focused on something else. Suddenly you're like 'This is really good'.
Fear inoculum is my first cd from Tool and I play it constantly. Never loved a band so much as I do with Tool. My dad introduced them to me and ever since I've been addicted. Every time I listen to one of their songs I actually feel peace.
They don't have too many albums, so you should take the time and listen to all of them. In their earlier days with Paul D'Amour on bass they were a much angrier band and over time they become more prog rock, but still heavy. I just wish they wouldn't take so much time between albums, we were all dying for this one to drop for years.
My son in 17 October 2019 He receive his 2nd kidney trasplant and his 30 praxis and all the time when he stayed in thehospital to recover i put this song. WARRIOR STRUGGLING TO REMAIN CONSEQUENTIAL. My son right now! is so recovery. Thanks Lord and God Bless You Brothers and Sisters.
If I were you, I'd be thanking the Doctors instead of a thing of you're imagination. Praise be to the men and women with the knowledge to save you're son.
@@wf6951 you don't have to criticize someone for their own personal beliefs. If someone believes in higher power let them. It's not like this person was trying to force their religion onto you, don't give them hate for expressing faith.
@camerik channel I'm so glad to hear he is in recovery! I was so lucky to see Tool perform this at Aftershock on October 13th. My wish for you and your son is to someday see them perform this live. 🖤🖤🖤 Be well, friends.
I have to admit. Im very pleased to see so many positive comments! I generally never read RUclips comments, but I'm digging the good vibes and im damn happy to be listening with y'all
Agreed good sir... I was thinking the same thing. I'm glad we can all be goofy with joy and not have to be discouraged by haters. These are the most positive comment sections I have ever witnessed!
Seriously, I can't be the only one who wishes this song were 17 minutes longer........This song nearly brings me to tears every time I hear it. I truly believe this album is one of the greatest musical accomplishments in modern history. It could easily have been a double album of 25 minute songs.
I can't listen to this song too often, because it just moves me in a way no other song has ever done. It touches something primal deep within. Incredibly emotionally moving.
Every day I have to listen to tool while I exercise at gym my ear buds are blared I don’t know why it’s on sirus Xm playing similar music to I need it can’t explain it but need it every day
Guys, it's a pleasure to be here listening this with all of you
Yes sir . Back at you !!!
Adrian Smith Same😍
Sameee
Likewise.....Tool forever....
Back at ya 🤟
My dad passed away on December 13th, 2011. He was 36 years old and was taken by lung cancer. He was a thrash metal guitarist all through his youth, then we got him an acoustic. He never touched an electric guitar again. He listened to TOOL religiously and all of his music was similar. He was fantastic. I remember the long car rides with him listening to TOOL nonstop. I hate that he isn't here to experience this album with me. This song in particular makes me miss him. I like to close my eyes and pretend he's here listening with me. RIP TJ Butler. I love you, daddy.
My dad died in 2007. I used Tool to mourn. And also ate mushrooms. I believe I used both mediums properly. I achieved equilibrium.
He’s always with you stay strong soldier
He's listening to it with you my friend
Burden to bare
Insides tear
Don't shed a tear
We're all still here.
I'm sorry to hear that. My condolences...
I am 52. I have made myself a complete stranger to this band my entire life. I knew the name, but never gave them a chance. That changed 3 months ago and now I am addicted. This is one of the best bands ever.
maybe THE best?
Welcome Brother.
Welcome. Check the welcome desk for your swag.
Welcome.
Better late than never.
Never too late to become a Tool fan❤️
Carey's drumming is organic, dynamic and unconventional. He doesn't keep a beat, yet he does. Even the odd timing isn't repetitive. Very unique in his approach. Typically a drummer establishes a beat of some sort then adds flourishes and fills. Carey does that without doing that. His drumming frames the song, drives the song, and is the song's foundation. His drumming has more to do with the unique sound of Tool than any drummer who influenced the sound of their band since Keith Moon. The early Who would have never sounded the way they did without Keith. I can't imagine another drummer taking Carey's place and having Tool sound like Tool. He's the heart of the band.
Very well said !!!
i jokingly mentioned this in a tool "group" and was instantly thought a fool... I didn't even mean it literally... but doesn't he seem to be the heartbeat of the band.. even if sometimes Danny has arrhythmia....
holy shit someone else that notices that danny is the heart
@@j.r.carpenter4832 they were just stupid, and remember maynard hates them
I can watch the Pneuma Vic Firth drum cam of Carey every day. Best drummer out there, hands down, imo. And after seeing the drum cam I now notice even more how much influence he has in the songs.
‘92 I started listening to TOOL.
‘94 my daughter was born, she is almost 25.
I’m old now.....But for Today, I feel like I’m 22 again.
I’m also 25 and born in 1994, but I didn’t start listening to Tool until 2010 when I was still in high school. But I’m glad I’ve lived up to this point and got to know their discography along the way and I’m proud to call myself a fan.
I’m right there with ya! I was 23 in ‘92. Been a TooL fan for many years.
OGT from back in '92.
All is "older fans" that's been with them since day 1 feel just like you do. What an amazing day
The passion for Tool is shared amoungst a wide range of ages and it's really cool!
My father was a major tool fan, and played their music all the time while I was growing up. Sadly I never got into them myself until about a year ago. My dad passed in 2014 so I will never get the chance to enjoy the band with him, but I fully understand why he found such solace in their music. Well dad, they finally released a new album like you wanted, and I'm happy to say that it is fucking amazing. R.I.P Dennis Burchett 11/28/2014
Requiescat in pace
Rip bro
Your dad sounds like he was a pretty cool dude :)
he now got front seats to all their concerts, rest in peace, and enjoy the music
I'm glad you found something you can use to anchor yourself to him. It's never too late.
This song speaks to me. I'm 52 & struggling, but quitting isn't an option. Love you all.
Keep Going
Never Quit ❣️✨
🤘😆🤘 never quit brother
So born in 70? You remember the 80s! The 90s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy crap dude we are so lucky and the world needs our wisdom now and into the future. Fight for whats right!
We love you too buddy
May God be with you sir
I’m right there with you.
My daughter introduced me to this band few weeks ago. Can’t stop listening!
Your daughter has great taste in authentic music
You parented her well.
Listen to H off Aenima. Then listen to every song they've ever made, including their cover of "No Quarter" originally by -Led Zep
Good job. Good parent.
I introduced my daughter to them. She loves it :)
My best friend that introduced me to Tool many years ago did not live to see this day. Rest in peace old friend, I dedicate every listen of this album to you and all the other tool fans that aren't here to witness this monumental moment.
Phyto Alchemist 👏👏
Sorry for your loss, must have been a good friend if he introduced you to TOOL
Yep in exactly the same Boat here
He's listening, sorry for your loss my Tool brother
Listening and having a drink for your friend as we speak. Cheers!
How is it that Tool’s music can calm nerves, focus the mind, and just all around kick ass simultaneously?
I think you need a minimum level of IQ to get how special it is.
cause thats what a real man does

Man, I’ve been dealing with so much depression and have been pushed to my mental capacity for weeks now. Can’t even really put into words how grateful I am for this album right now.
King Jack Rabbit enjoy the music. Harness the NOW only
We're with you. Hold in there.
King Jack Rabbit love and light brother.
Me and you both... This album brought some life back into me.
Please enjoy the album! Love from Mexico
This song is like a battle cry! I've been listening to it nearly every day for at least four years during my workouts. It builds up so intensely! Im from Norway, and in my mind it conjures up the image of an ancient berserker Viking entering his final fight, pouring out every ounce of his strength. "Warrior, struggling to remain relevant, to remain consequential" - these words echo as the tempo shifts, and I envision the berserker steeling himself for his ultimate battle. Then, around the 8:50 mark, he throws himself into the fray, wielding his longsword, plunging deeper into the melee, facing increasingly brutal challenges. "Before now, feel the sting, feeling time bearing down, bearing down" - he fights with everything he has, cutting down his last enemies, and in his death finds tranquility... Valhalla awaits.
Heavy shields down
I feel your words to my absolute core. ❤
@@jaredbreeden3779 🛡️🛡️⚔️🗡️
Lol, great minds think alike. I saw the first line of your post and thought of Valhalla right away. I see at the end you were on that trajectory as well. 😁 Got my sword earrings ready to wear next time I go out. 😊
the first time I heard this and Maynard said the lines "feel the sting, feeling time, bearing down" it just hit me like a ton of bricks... suddenly I'm all too aware of the 20-some odd years that have passed since I first became a fan of this band.. very humbling and sobering, just the reality the inevitable passage of TIME, onward, unflinching, merciless, never stopping, leaving us all behind eventually...
Damn, anyhow! On a lighter note, one of the first things I sort of associated with this song, other then my own personal feelings, man... I thought of the undertaker. The pro wrestler the undertaker! Arguably the greatest CHARACTER of all time.. I was a huge fan as a kid, and now as an adult I have almost a new appreciation for the business, and.. I dunno.
The dead man, the phenom, the fuckin LEGEND, the undertaker... Every time I hear this song now I think of him. Thanks for the memories sir, and you will forever be missed! You had the career of a lifetime, and you have more than earned your place in history! Heavy shield down..
✌️✌️✌️
*(ps) going to see tool in like ten days, at Bridgestone in Nashville! Only the second time seeing them live, can't wait!
So I've been thinking about the meaning of 'Fear Inoculum' since the release, and it got me thinking about the meanings and overall vibes of other Tool albums
Undertow is a dark, nihilistic and violent album. It's themes are abuse, addiction, violence and depravity. It feels like a torture dungeon or something. The music is brutal and unrelenting, with few moments of light or relief.
Aenima is the most varied and therefore hard to pin down, but I think broadly its about the human mind and is a call to spiritual awakening. As such the music has a strange, trippy and unsettling vibe, that gets deep inside your brain. It feels more like a laboratory or a messy study.
Lateralus is a deeply spiritual and humanistic album about the origins of human beings, our purpose, our relationships with others, and the nature of our own consciousness. It feels like an ancient temple or holy place, with its mystic rhythms and cryptic lyrics.
10000 Days is a very emotional record, its more about human nature in the personal sense, and our attitudes toward each other. It feels like an open landscape, a tapestry depicting the struggles of human beings and the nature of our societies. The music, with its tribal influences, supports this too.
So Fear Inoculum, the clue is in the title, from the Latin Inoculus, means in the modern sense to immunise or protect against some disease or ailment. This album feels like a weird, alien landscape, with its droning, repetitive motifs and strange noises, along with that artwork. Human beings naturally fear the unknown, we fear the future, we fear ourselves. This album encourages us to confront those fears, confront what we fear because we are not familiar with it, innoculate ourselves against this fear and move forwards. It sounds alien and impenetrable, but is anything but, it affirms us to keep moving in spite of our fear.
Also 10,000 days was about Marie his mother an he deeply rooted religious beliefs that even though she was put into a coma that still was Gods plan for her an remained faithful until her death. Which also is about the amount of time it takes for Saturn to orbit the Sun 9,855 days so interwoven with Lateralus at the same time. Like the rabbit hole you went down on these thoughts
Dewayne C beautiful analysis man!! You have really philosophised it!!🤘🏼🙂
Nicely said, I like your insight.
@Connorshark should have liked it,70 now lol :P

Hells yeah, man! Tool fans? You guys are just my peeps.
To a tool fan, waiting out a new album is a life achievement.
DrigZee Lma seriously.
It really was.
Not today old friend
This is true, their art takes time to accomplish apparently and understandably do cause I still listen to 1996 stuff w astonishment
I have been listening to rock music for 50 years. Nothing has touched me like this band do. Beyond magnificent.
Amen brother..
Invincible.......brings me to tears when I listen. A grown ass man sobbing for no reason other than the power of this music. Amazing.
Just a human doin human things. Feels good to be alive, doesn't it? :)
And that's a beautiful thing❤🔥
Miss G To breathe, to feel, to know I’m alive.
Your not alone my brother.
More human than human
Tool is my favorite genre of music.
I believe Tool is geniunely a music genre in itself and i love it
I identify so strongly to this comment.
It makes this tool move.
Anyone:
"What's your favorite song by Maynard?"
The death of my Ego:
"Yes"
so i'm in that genre too then?....i think that's a yes 😊 ruclips.net/video/bCnocG3ZzoQ/видео.html
I was diagnosed with cancer in March 2022, having previously been fit, healthy and active. This song immediately became relevant to my coming battle against cancer.
I was lucky enough to see Tool at the O2 Arena in London this year, 4 weeks after my second surgery, they closed with Invincible, I cried.
Wish u the best with that battle and hope u kick cancer in the butt
I was diagnosed with cancer on May 2022. Right now recovering at home after an esophagectomy. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Trust me. I also lean on Tool for my fight. Saw them in Memphis in January 2020 and fell in love.
Hugs ❤
Me too. Powerful Track. Have you tried the Carnavor Diet? It works!
God Bless
Where in London? I am going over Seas soon as, I can. I haven't been to England yet. Please tell me where to go and what to do. England has so much History and Great Britain has The Liberty Bell
As a person who suffers chronic illness/pain, this song is my anthem! Once was healthy & vital.. then it was taken from me in an instant. Dr after Dr, test after test, needle after needle.. Tool is my escape it’s my best drug/therapy. Definitely releasing those “good feeling” endorphins. To all the pain warriors out there.. fight on ♥️♥️
Did you get the jabs?

Amen brother.
Even the trying times, are themselves a blessing. Much love, and blessed days.
lol @ these comments. You folks listen to tool at all?
ALIVE AND BREATHHINGGGGGGG.
Absolutely love how Tool transcends genres, ages, generations, tastes, everything else honestly. This music just satiates what we all desire in our primal selves. Fuckin rock on
I mainly listen to hip hop and old school rock but I can't deny their relevance. They tend to speak to your soul on a deeper level.
Beautifully said.
I was never into Tool before but I had heard about how this was their first album in so many years so I decided to give them a shot because of all the hype and I'll admit, this is amazing I'm hooked af. Musically it's insanely good but what gets me the most is how awesome I feel while listening to it. It's been one of the toughest years for me filled with some much anxiety and stress but the minute I gave this album a shot, all that shit went away and instantly felt so much better. Now I've been listening to this nonstop and I'm a new fan. I totally understand the hype. Cheers!!
Hey man, welcome aboard! I suggest Lateralus as the next tool album you give a shot. That one is my all time favorite record. As far as new records go, this might actually be my 2nd favorite and I couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out!!
You're lucky my friend as you hsve there entire discography to trip out to (and you will trip out 😁) enjoy
Welcome to the family, brother. Spiral Out. Keep Going.
Welcome to the fam. Take a journey to the past and listen to their old stuff.
Find their song Reflection. It is my mantra and I discovered it while in a difficult phase of life. It really is part of me now. I hope you find the same. Listen with headphones and lyrics in hand, and lose yourself in it to find yourself in it.
I deemed Invincible my cancer fight song. I knew it was the one the first time I heard it. Diagnosed in Oct 2017. Cancer free in Aug 2019.
Nice work!!!!!!!
Thanks!! I'm in the middle of fighting cancer right now. Finished chemo and about to start stem cell transplant. Every time I'm in hospital for a period of time I blast tool on my head phones. This shit gets me through anything. I didn't give this album a chance until recently when I printed out the lyrics to the entire album and got lost in this fur a few hours .... SICK . I've fought cancer twice now and survived many heroin over doses. I'm 3 years clean now and tool music is all the deeper hearing it with a clear mind....RIP to all the tool fans who didn't live to hear this album
A true warrior, keep going
Congrats! Keep going
Kick Ass !
I've never seen a RUclips comments section with this much positivity. Tool is badass..... And all you fans out there are making me proud to be among the fold.
Thank God for Tool
I was thinking the same been stealing my sisters tool cds since i was 5. Im 30 now they are the best bro i saw them in concert when they did pushit i almost shit myself
Amen buddy ...A-fucking-men 🤟🏻people can talk shit about Tool fans all they want but we know what the real deal is so fuck em,it’s their loss as far as I’m concerned ,I know without a doubt who the best band on the planet is so I’m good with whatever they wanna say
Wow yeah...i've been going through comments of 3 now. It's really a big hug to everyone listening. Seen em live a while back. Heard these live before the studio version. It's the same. Except i'm in my bed in the dark with my ear-goggles on
You should see the lame FaceBook comments section for their fan page. They freakin hate them it seems. It's bewildering.
Lifelong Led Zeppelin fan and heard a few Tool songs occasionally over the radio while driving. Always cranked them up. Was recently talking with a coworker about music and he brought up Tool. Went home that night and listened to their version of No Quarter, which lead to listening to many other songs. WOW! I've been missing out, but at 65 years old I've got plenty of years left to still crank them up just like I'm doing now.
The two best rock bands ever.
Not counting Jimi H.
Tool is perfection. Blessing from heaven.
So I'm the exact opposite. Except for age - 62 🤜🏼🤛🏼. I've been a huge fan of Tool since the first time I heard Sober back in the early 90's. Saw them on their Ænima tour.
But here it is 5+ years after this album came out, and this was the first time I've played this tune, or most of the rest of this album which I'm in the process of correcting. I feel so ashamed... Lol
Six hour shift at work, had it on loop the whole day. Could feel I was sharing this moment with millions around the world. Epic, momentous, emotional, Tool.
Art of the State 6 hour shift, huh? So you got to listen to it about one and a half times. 🤣
Where do you work where you can listen to tool?
Mr State you were sharing with us all and we with you. Spiral out my friend.
Only six hours I can’t even poop that fast
@@ghostballs1874 If it takes you 6 hours to poop you might need to get an aenema bro
One thing you can always say about Tool songs is that each listening is an unwrapping. Each listen discovers more and more underneath as you unwrap and discover new depths. Layer by layer, each listen, deeper and deeper, yet never arriving at any core - only more.
That's the mushrooms kicking in bubba
Just like Pink Floyd
The OG badasses
I thought this song was poor on first listen
20th listen in and I cried because it’s so good. Deffo the highlight of the album for me
I’m high too.
Poetically said.
This is absolutely my favorite track on the album. I am a veteran myself who continues to serve, providing medical care at the VA. When I see all of my brethren with multiple ailments from years of service everyday, this song is all I hear in my head. It is both saddening and uplifting in the same breath. I wish this could be played over the speakers in the hospital on repeat as a theme song. Thank you Tool. And thank you Maynard for your service. Words cannot express how needed this song is.
Thanks for your service and stay strong brother
Thank you for your service😁
Thank you for your service both in and out of the military. I'm glad you are in the VA, brother. All of you at the VA deserve so much recognition. It is very much appreciated.
Christopher Schuyler God bless you!! Thank you for your service!!
Christopher Schuyler Army vet and VA Nurse myself! Saw my first Tool concert way back in 2001, when I was stationed at Fort Knox. Made the 2-3 hour drive to Indianapolis. I think Lateralus had just been released.
Maynard's range is what sets him apart as one of the greatest
Absolutely
Turned 40 in August, my father died 3 weeks ago, this song speaks to me now on another level. Thank you Tool for helping me to cope.
I'm so sorry
Lies. You found the trending button and copied some other clowns like whoring story. In no way does that story relate, it only says you are 40 and still punishing.
sorry man, made my eyes water at work. much love.
This whole album took on new meaning to me when my Dad was dying. Descending especially. I hear you.
@@DJChrisSee such a punisher as a son i can understand his course of action
Grew up without a real family.. spent the last 6 years by myself, but today I find myself feeling anything BUT lonely.
So many people here to embrace, appreciate, and love a band that has done SO much for me mentally...
I think we all needed this on some level
Me and all my friends from Canada, forever salute you Tool, and all my fellow fans.
I love you.
Lots of love from a superfan in the US! ♥️ I know they call us Tool army, but we're a family!
Much love from a Tool fan from France ! Spiral out, keep going
I feel you bro
Love to All coming from New Mexico. 🎵🎵🎸✌🏽
I feel you, friend. Hope you are doing great. Much love from a Tool fan from Mexico! ♥🐺
Every song on this album feels like a finale! I love it!
Yeah about that
I don't think they will be coming out with anymore after this one
@@linguisticallyoversight8685 i hope you're wrong, but i don't think you are. :(
i think of tool for what is left over from classical music passed on to our modern era of musical style. i feel the same way like you said - a finale, and i bloody love it
I think I remember one of the members, possibly Danny, saying that this won’t be the last Tool album
@@alexanderstavrou84 I'm pretty sure I heard that too. And MJK said that as long as they're all alive they will make music together, lucky for us.
Was just having a discussion about life after more than two decades of military service. The desire to stay relevant when relevancy was determined by an individual’s level of lethal efficiency.
I definitely wasn’t in as long as you were. I looked forward to coming home and leaving the service. Once I got out I realized how hard it was to “leave the service.” Just because we leave the war behind and transition to civilians doesn’t mean we cease to think and feel like warriors. I can’t imagine how the adjustment is after 20 years. This song really does strike deep in the sense that you described.

@HaydenPauley I looked the definition of a what bard to make sure I understand its meaning correctly and I agree with you 100%
God its just amazing poetry.
As a 57 year old Marine veteran of 13 years, State Dept 2 years, and PMC for the past 10.. Being a warrior in all sense of a warrior to hear this song the first time I had tears after listening the first time. It so eloquently spelled out what I never was able to explain to others. I am now at a point of life where I can no longer search for the fountain.. This is too powerful a song and MJK sent it when I needed it. Tool music has been with me since the 90's and being in Albania. This whole album has helped me get through the pain and I mean pain physically and mentally from years of preparing to fight and the trauma of actually fighting. I look forward to finding my future, maybe make wine myself, accept retirement.....maybe.... I am still holding that shield, you just can't put it down....
Beautifully and we'll said! Thank you for your services! God bless you. My dad/ my best friend was a warrior. He was a Navy veteran. He passed away on my daughter's birthday. August 28th 2020. I miss him with every fiber in my body. He taught me how to be the warrior I am! I love u all! RIP Blake Abel! I can't wait to see I again dad!!!!💙💎💙💎💙💎
We appreciate and love you.
And we allow you to place your shield on the ground.

I am so glad that I was able to grow old listening to Tool! The band is nothing that nobody can ever duplicate! Thank you Maynard for making my life better hearing your lyrical genius.
As well as his voice..... and Danny Carey is just fucking incredible. They ALL ARE.
I have been diagnosed with clinical depression. After I was left without friends, on my own all alone again, i fell into a deep depression. I didn't wanted to listen to anything that reminded me of those who abandoned me, it hurted too much. Now i finally, after many months of not listening to anything, i decided to type in the search bar Tool, and found this song that i used to listen a lot. Tool really has been with me through some of my darkest and hardest times. Now i know i need to become a warrior, one that will keep struggling to remain relevant. Depression wont beat me, i will win in the end, and i will then scream "HERE I AM!"
You get a nut check relax tart you will be fine
👏
Hold on
Dude Sebastian Torres you've got to listen to all Tools music my friend. You are on the right track and you have every reason in this world to feel alive! You are here and you are a bad ass!!!

asdfgzxcn I believe right before the breakdown it’s “here I am, where I end.” Everything else is spot on though.
@@residentkrockhead Think you're right...
I can’t tell if he’s saying “longing for another wind” or “win” ,the wind being like a second wind,burst of energy type thing....I’ll find out eventually I’m sure 🤟🏻🤓
compared to other tool tracks, aren't these lyrics very weak? do i miss something? curious to hear opinions
@@supermanX745 i think that in this album they focus on the instrumental part...
This song is Tools way of saying. We can take a 13 year break. And still be the best band of the last couple of decades.
Damn 13 years?
@@dannyfernandez-xe7qxyup
Truth
I mean, it is also their way of saying, "hey, we are getting old... we won't live forever... we are doing as best we can... we are tired soldiers..."
@@dannyfernandez-xe7qx 13.5
Aging metal head here, a child of 70’s 80’s metal. Had heard of Tool but just started listening to them and all I can say is WOW. They have taken it to a whole new level. True artists accomplished in their craft.
Jealous you are just finding them. Aenima and Undertow are bliss.
Enjoy!
Start at Opiate and work your way forward. The journey is well worth it
hey man could you recommend some bands that were like, really extra to you?
i'm 50 tool is the first rock band since Janes and GnR I'm actually liking.
How is it possible that after 7 months of listening non stop, this album keeps getting better every time?!!! Tool fan since my senior year in 93 w Undertow, and still listen everyday
Juan-Carlos Mereles I’m still on this one song...
Magic 🧙♂️
Yep, I played it for 5 weeks straight and now Im back on it after a break
Cant get enough!!!!!
A song like this literally takes pain and weight off the mind and body. Anyone else agree?
Nope my back still hurts
It helps alleviate the torrential sadness that was creeping into my mind all day... It might not be helping my body pain but easing my mind is more than enough. I'm so thankful that it came today bc I don't know how much longer I could've kept myself from embracing the darkness & falling into the abyss of hopelessness 💜
Indeed. May rising stir in us all.
Tool has always helped me release emotion. Sometimes we hold things in and when I hear them create, magic i will feel the music and it will help me release feelings I thought I couldn't. It makes my mind expand, I feel more counciance to everything, way more in tuned to myself. It's so awesome with these bands, everyone has a different way they interpret the song meaning for them. I wish I had a friend that I could sit across from and ask how they interpreted the song. Not too many people I know have really heard of stool or they're really not into them. It blows my mind. How could you not fucking love that shit. When I first heard 46 and 2 and parabola oh, that completely changed my life. I started looking at myself differently and others differently. They are fucking geniuses!
@@brandilong1972 beautifully said. It would be super interesting to be able to get someone elses well thought out and nuanced perception of the art they are hearing for sure
Удивительная группа! Как можно так сломать ритм, при этом звуча так неожиданно по новому! Барабанщик не с этой планеты, точно!
My deceased mom passed from cancer before this was released. She introduced me to TOOL many years ago. I hope she's enjoying this as much as I am wherever she may be.
Hi, My condolences to you. Nothing I say will make a difference for the loss you feel. Just know, I'm a mother and if possible when I'm gone my spirit will be with my sons.
@@Ms2amores That is the sweetest, kindest thing I have ever seen written in the comments on RUclips.
@@leifdanielson4207 Thank you. I'll always, always be with my sons.
🙏💗
if these guys are right, she is
This track is absolutely one of the better experiences that Tool has ever produced. Easily will rank high in the all time best.
My brother died in 2009. He was the victim of a drunk driving accident, he was 26 years old when he passed and his favourite band was tool. That was 10 years ago and I can clearly remember that the last thing we talked about was if tool would ever put out a new album, while sitting at the west Edmonton mall food courts, he said that they would and was very sure it would've been sometime that year. it wasn't that year. I didn't know who they were at the time but I carried on the conversation because I hadn't seen him in 4 years and just hearing his voice was liberating. He died two months later. When I was 17 years old, I thought this band was weird af because I didn't understand music yet. I'm 27 years old today, that's one year older than my brother was when he passed away and now i know why this was his favourite band of all time. It took 10 years and some heartbreak; but I get it.
Very sorry for your loss. People think Tool fans are cynics, but I haven't seen more optimistic people. Ironically, listening to Tool challenges my cynicism and makes me start feeling again. I lost a loved one in 2016. And this album gives me some semblance of closure. So, spiral out and keep going!
Sorry for your loss.
But what a beautiful connection to have with this music.
Spiral out & enjoy every second while you can
Dude. Sorry for your loss. I’m drinking and listening to tool for you and your bro. Hang tough.
So sorry for your loss. This band can definitely be therapeutic. You're loved, don't forget.
I’m sorry he’s gone and glad you’re carrying on for him. 💜
I earnestly hope that people come to recognize the immense power and energy that music holds. Music possesses a unique ability to heal on multiple levels - psychologically, physically, and spiritually. Its transformative power can penetrate deep into our psyche, providing comfort and clarity during times of mental distress. It can energize the body, encouraging physical movement and promoting overall well-being. Spiritually, music can elevate us, connecting us to a higher state of consciousness and fostering a sense of unity and peace. (18/6/2024)
Tru dat!
thank youuuu❤❤💯
so does weed , think about it concerning mental health....
Love it👋👏
I have been deeply shamed for listening to tool from a former friend. thankyou for your comment, I feel seen by people who get it.
"Once invincible, now the armour's wearing thin"
That lyric gives my whole body the chills every single time. Anyone else get that feeling?
No.
Yes... completely...
Try 9:35
That’s the fear, the sadness, that we are flirting with extinction, but the song is about coming in at that moment and saying hey be strong YOU FUCKING GOT THIS that’s the message of the album. The message is supposed to immunize you from fear by facing it head on.
Yes,yes,yes. I'm with you brother!
This was not just an album that we Tool fans waited 15 years for... This album is a gift to everyone who will listen to it!!
Spiritual experience in depth. Going to see Tool on this Tour. The most awesome Church ever. Gotta go.

Now this feels like Christmas!!
Awkward Dawn I’d say life is good, but good won’t explain this.....
I've got a coupla'.....Tool pics I want to send ya'.
I was fortunate enough to catch this album the minute it dropped on RUclips AND ... The first time I ever did PCP aka Angel Dust... I literally smoked a dipper and 5 minutes later I get a notification that Tool has new album out... I put my JBL headphones on and drifted into psychedelic nirvana.... Lasted 6 hours with effects waning at dawn... Truly amazing synchronicity on the part of the universe I must say ... I was never a Tool head before that day really but I am firmly in the Tool box now!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
And on the 30th day, they dropped an album, and it was good
Hahah it was "ok". 15 years for an album that is just good.
@@soulspark22 wow what a pathetic and immature response to someone whose just living in reality...
This thread escalated quickly!
Opinions are like assholes. I think Momentary Laps of Reason is the best Pink Floyd album.
@@dereklewis4321 you may be right
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite Tool songs, period.
Turing Machine same! Love the video of Chancellor beating his chest to this song mid performance.
This 1 & Pneuma are the 1’s that I can’t stop listening to 🤟🏻
Mine is Culling Voices. Period. I've listened to TOOL my entire adult life, I'm 46,and Culling Voices is their best imo.
Amen, and amen.

I have been working 60-70 hours a week for the past 5 years doing manual Labor. You guys always get me through it. And this song really helps me through on the tough days. Thank you TOOL!!

Get a different job, unless you’re the owner, they’re exploiting you lol.
You gotta have time for you and family.
Its all about frequencies, hertz,polytonic notes and chords. Along with meaningful lyrics and extremely talented musicians and you have sounds that soothe the mind and body. There is no other band like tool out there,a one off group of incredibly talented guys.
The freak one sees frequencies.
@@truthwarrior122 the only time ive ever seen frequencies was when i was tripping on acid,but if you meditate to certain tool songs you definitely can feel the frequencies.
@@Healthliving1967 That's what I just said.
@@truthwarrior122 no you didnt,you were saying i was a freak. Just because i took acid doesn't make me a freak does it!
@@Healthliving1967 You keep confirming what I said. You are freaking me out. Next you'll flip your eyelids inside out.
TOOL's drummer is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Songs like this give you so much power! I feel like I could grow wings and become INVINCIBLE!!!
This is a pretty trippy song... I've only heard it once, and only 2/3 of it.
Feels like I need to accomplish something big before I can listen to the rest of it.
I need a rite of passage and this song is the catharsis.
You will BOW to Danny Carrey as your lord, as it is right to do so
Danny isn't from this world!
If you ever are in LA, try to go see Danny play at the Baked Potato. Very intimate setting- you can sit 10 feet away from him. Seriously.
Danny carry is the best drummer ever

Was riding down the road last night with my 9 year old daughter in my truck with this song blasting. She started laughing and said she got the goosebumps. I was like why, she said "cause I like it" literally got me choked up and brought a tear to my eye. This same daughter loves 80s rock and will headbang to it. #winning #raisingthemright

It's ok album some of it is a disappointed.
One Of the best tool songs ever written in my opinion. Everything airy and upfront. It’s a masterpiece song on all levels. 🎧
Correct!
Invincible is totally a Top 10 Tool song for me. The first few times I heard the song I didn't get it at all because it was so much slower and not hard hitting the whole time, like the older stuff. Seemed long and boring.
Then one time I just had the song in my Playlist playing in the background not really paying attention while reading internet stuff. The build-up of the song is great and you need to be patient. The song is literally telling a story, starting out slow, building up, stopping, getting heavier, stopping and then a hardcore finale. Believe it or not you wish the song was LONGER once you're hooked on it. It literally seems like a 5 minute song that's over when you're just really getting into it.
I don't care what anyone says. This shit is pleasing to the ear. My household likes other stuff but this is what me and my 10 month old son listen to. He falls asleep to tool for whatever reason.
He just finds it soothing as do I. Thanks for the new album
Literally in the car getting my 15 month old to fall asleep to this song. This is the song he falls asleep to every night for some reason. Hahaha we tried lullibies and all that, nothing worked but this album.
People think I’m weird when I say Tool is meditative. Wish that was the only reason they think that. 😂
... Uh, really lol no one's going to state the obvious here? Your 10 month old son will listen to anything. He will fall asleep to anything, when he's tired(non indicative of the object being enjoyed). This isn't about caring what I say. This is a fact.
The double bass at 7:54 altered the course of history.
Shit was insanely gnarly!!
god bless this timeline
You should check out Animals as Leaders if you don’t know them. Matt Garstka is a fucking monster.
Well said
It's a sextuplet fill wich repeats the "right and left hand, right kick, left kick" pattern twice per quarter note. Easy to perform, but sounds super dope.
The comment section feels like family man ❤, Love to all from Jordan
Really does
We are.
Man we're not just family we're survivors. It's an accomplishment to of survived long enough to hear this album .
Are!
Hell yes
Too the Tool Army, I became a Fan about 18 months ago, and have been dropped into the Tool rabbit hole ever since 😂😂, this year I turned 60 and as a treat to myself, booked good tickets for their Birmingham, UK Show, as I’d seen so many comments mentioning ‘You must see them LIVE’.
All I can say is WOW! They truly are Incredible!
Obviously with such a back catalogue of music they’re not going to play all my faves, but they did play this ‘Invincible’ which made my night!
Keep Rocking Tool Army, it was a Pleasure being in the same room as these Rock Legends 🤘🤘🤘😎😎😎
I'm seeing them tomorrow
For sure .
How have you only heard of them 18 months ago?
you will NOT be disappointed to see their show... Saw them late last yeae and it was a life experience... Sounded as good as their recordings
Does anybody else get incredibly creative while listening to Tool? Such an amazing inspiration in life!
They are one of the bands that makes me think differently when writing my poetry. When I look back at old poems I can tell what I was listening to as I wrote. It’s harder to write to this than rap that’s for sure
I do, I play tool while I'm programming and it adds a point of creativity to it :D
This song helps me out when my energy is low. To keep on pushing
Onwards upwards forwards
Definitely!
Yes! Great insight, Bro!
My mom introduced me to TOOL as a young kid . She passed awhile just a little while ago and I know she would be so fucking excited for this . So awesome to hear new music from them
What an amazing mom you had, not easy to find
rip.
Rest in peace ma'am
My kids have listened to TOOL since they were born (1 and 4). My oldest daughter and I had this cranked on a country backroad the other night with the windows down and she was actually quiet and you could see the TOOL trance on her face
:) :)
I'm sorry for your lost
I cried during this. Words don't work when it comes to TOOL, their music moves me more than any other band.
Me 2😢🙌🙌
I think this was Maynards most focused lyrically.
me too
It's catchier
it's mathematically designed to do so
Danny Carey is probably one of the most talented musicians alive today! I can't ever get enough of his drumming!
Also recommended Porcupine Tree drummer❤kinda mix Floyd and Portnoy❤❤
Absolute facts sir. One of the greatest to ever walk the earth. Period.
100 % and so humble as well, a great human all in all. And besides when I learned that bonham was one of his big influences, It was suprising but immediately made sense. Would love to meet him sometime for sure!! And now colaborating with steve vai on king crimson band, what a nice world we live Innnn!!!!
I don't think any album has grown on me as much as Fear Inoculum.
Agreed. I liked Pneuma and that was it the first time. I told my wife I was disappointed. 8 months later and I can't get enough. Every single day on the drive to work. Drive home. I sit in the drive to finish the album. Amazing.
@@Retexid Falling asleep to 7empest??? Really... That song rocks so hard
Every tool album is like that for me.
Retexid same! I’ve been listening to it on the way to work and when I fall asleep.
John Cena pneuma is so good. Culling Voices is my jam atm.
This album saved my life. This track grabs so many emotions, Culling Voices too. Monumental album. Epic.
Culling Voices is so under appreciated.
The best night of my life. Hurricane was hitting. Steak and Mushrooms. Tears of such an awesome Spiritual Experience
I love you guys
I love you.
We are all dust returning to dust.
We are all insignificant flashes in an infinite pan.
I'm glad you loved yourself enough to face another day.
You are beautiful brother!!! ❤
I love the comments section here. It's like coming home after a hard and arduous journey.
Really. I remember getting their last album on my 14th birthday. I've been through a lot of hard and arduous since then and one can only imagine how many of us can agree...if they're alive. But WE made it somehow and what a celebration this is.
＼(^o^)／
Welcome home brother.
hands down definately agree
First heard Sober in one of the classrooms in high school in '93. I remember exactly where I was standing. I've seen a lot of shit since then, but I'M STILL HERE.
Tool makes me happy
My heart hurts for the people who will never get to experience the creativity, pure talent and genius assembled in this band. One of the all time greats.
Thank you for all that you have given us
Don't worry, vicariously the whole universe experienced this
I've listened to many different types of music over the years. I don't know if there is a band that has the creativity and talent that Tool has. Let me throw out a few bands I can think of The Doors? Pink Floyd?
I think Justin really stands out on this song, there are some juicy bass lines he plays here.
林柏佑 :I’ve never heard a bass sound like it has so much weight behind it as it does around the 9 minute mark....that shit could sink a ship 🤘🏻
Dude for real I thought I was the only one that payed attention to it but when I wanna show people their new album I usually show them that line
His basslines are not hard to play but creative and haunting as fuck.He know how to do this
That wal bass is beast, and Justin plays it like an animal... that’s one originally drew me into tool, I never heard music where the bass was pretty out front instead of muffled under the other instruments... and I fucking liked it! 🤘😈🤘
I def like Justin’s playing better, but Paul drew me in... two badass musicians
100% agreed. Everyone seemed to get their moment on this record and this was definitely Justin's. Just an absolute masterclass of creativity and precision
Tool grows on you with out you knowing it. When the new music came out I was like wtf the older music is better now I can't get enough of it
Same here I just came back to this album tonight to give it another chance and this time its like something clicked and I was meant to be here at some point
I'm in my forties and have only recently got into Tool. In one way I wish I'd got into them years ago, but at the same time, I don't think I'd have appreciated them like I do at my age now.
First time I heard Invincible I was like.. meh just ok. Most of the new Tool songs are unlike earlier TOOL songs that are adrenaline pumping from start to finish. They start out slow and build up to more classic Tool at the end.
I find all the songs on the new album are best listened to just playing in the background when your not really paying attention and focused on something else. Suddenly you're like 'This is really good'.
I needed to let it marinate. The new album is incredible
@@imnotanalky Love this new album
From their first album to current , they just keep getting better in my opinion. They never lose their fastball!!!
Can’t stop listening to this. They’ve struck gold again...
"'False hope perhaps, but the truth never got in my way, before now, feel the sting, feeling time bearing down" Damn.
Intense shit my man. Love it!!!!
@@mertmunson1417 live for all your worth
ruclips.net/video/0lk4NlqJlKY/видео.html u gotta hear this track!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope is still hope non the less.
That hits the soul
Fear inoculum is my first cd from Tool and I play it constantly. Never loved a band so much as I do with Tool. My dad introduced them to me and ever since I've been addicted. Every time I listen to one of their songs I actually feel peace.
my older brother got me into tool during the lateralus days, this is life altering music, im happy to be alive to experience it!
as an old head from the Undertow days, you have a long path ahead and i envy all the times you'll hear masterpieces for the first time.
Thank your pops!
You haven't heard Tool until you've heard Sweat and Jerk-off (live) from the Opiate album, imo
They don't have too many albums, so you should take the time and listen to all of them. In their earlier days with Paul D'Amour on bass they were a much angrier band and over time they become more prog rock, but still heavy. I just wish they wouldn't take so much time between albums, we were all dying for this one to drop for years.
We are blessed to live in the same time as Tool
My son in 17 October 2019
He receive his 2nd kidney trasplant and his 30 praxis and all the time when he stayed in thehospital to recover i put this song.
WARRIOR STRUGGLING
TO REMAIN CONSEQUENTIAL.
My son right now! is so recovery.
Thanks Lord and God Bless You Brothers and Sisters.
If I were you, I'd be thanking the Doctors instead of a thing of you're imagination. Praise be to the men and women with the knowledge to save you're son.
@@wf6951 you don't have to criticize someone for their own personal beliefs. If someone believes in higher power let them. It's not like this person was trying to force their religion onto you, don't give them hate for expressing faith.
@@wf6951 you sound pretentious for someone who doesn't know your from you're - don't be a dickhead
@camerik channel I'm so glad to hear he is in recovery! I was so lucky to see Tool perform this at Aftershock on October 13th. My wish for you and your son is to someday see them perform this live. 🖤🖤🖤 Be well, friends.
Amen
I have to admit. Im very pleased to see so many positive comments! I generally never read RUclips comments, but I'm digging the good vibes and im damn happy to be listening with y'all
Tool comment sections seem to be some of the best IMO. Love it
So damn great point 🥂same here, feeling unity and zen sharing such pure and perfect experience
Agreed good sir... I was thinking the same thing. I'm glad we can all be goofy with joy and not have to be discouraged by haters. These are the most positive comment sections I have ever witnessed!
Tool fans share a connection that transcends hate and all the burdens of self importance!
This is the Tool comment section good sir, welcome:D
My father just passed away at 1am this morning after battling cancer .this song is for you . Love you .
Very sorry to hear, may he rest in peace. Hope ur ok also friend 👍
My condolences.
Sorry to hear that man keep your head up your dad was a warrior we love you
Stay strong brother!
Rest in peace. May you find peace in passing, and cope with his death in a way that excludes unnecessary sadness.
I would love to hear this live. It's amazing how their brains can remember all of this live! Phenomenal band! Been around since , ya know.
You have no idea how powerful this song is live. Mind blowing live.
Just seen it last night. Last song of the set and it was incredible. A spiritual experience.
It's truly an experience. Was witness to this on Thursday night. First time seeing Tool. Hope to be able ro see them again
Seriously, I can't be the only one who wishes this song were 17 minutes longer........This song nearly brings me to tears every time I hear it. I truly believe this album is one of the greatest musical accomplishments in modern history. It could easily have been a double album of 25 minute songs.
17 you say? 😉
Yeah man
Every tool anything should just be infinity
I can't listen to this song too often, because it just moves me in a way no other song has ever done. It touches something primal deep within. Incredibly emotionally moving.
Every day I have to listen to tool while I exercise at gym my ear buds are blared I don’t know why it’s on sirus Xm playing similar music to I need it can’t explain it but need it every day
The transition from 9:35 on, with the hihat accents and cymbals kind of guiding the beat, is so ridiculously tasteful.
So amazing- I read your comment and scrolled up to check the time. It was 9:32; just in time to hear it played.
haha I like that description, it's definitely apt, and one of many words to describe Danny's playing
This is where it got to me! Mad progression
Thats the part that sticks in my head everytine. Danny doesn't ride the cymbals. Hits them and then he grabs 'em. So tasteful.
It's such a beautiful progression that piece. Oof. Can't hear it enough.. wish there was a 3 hour version of it..
