By far the craziest album we have heard thus far. Articulating thoughts of the music have never been this hard, but I guess that is what TOOL is here for…
Tool is my favorite band (though Radiohead is right up there). I'd suggest going back to "Undertow" for the next Tool reaction. Progress WITH the band.
Never forget this band is a Tool for your life. So happy to see you lads discovering this great music, ive been loving your Floyd reactions
AEnema next!
You really should this with Metallica's "Ride the Lightnining" and "Master of Puppets". SOAD's "Toxicty", Linkin Park "Hybrid Theory" and "Meteora", there's such so cool and classics albums
Do the albums in order, to see and feel the metamorphosis over the years, Tool is the shit hand down😊❤
There's a reason Tool was invisible to your generation. They didn't have any of their music on streaming services until their most recent album was released, which wasn't a problem for us old heads, but if you weren't purchasing physical media, you missed Tool (one of the best bands on the planet). Crazy. Spiral out.
Yea I said something in the beginning of the video about how people “just found out about them”. I guess that was what I meant to say lol.
@@theeJAYBUDshow There was a 13 year gap between their last two albums. They really made us wait for it lol
The trip to the local Tower Records to Buy the Laterallus album is still burned in my brain... there is no creative CD jackets like that one anymore. The 3D artwork with special lenses was absolute genius.
It's one of the best reactions I've seen about the lateralus album.
KEEP SPIRALING OUT!!
As a geriatric millenial I’d never even considered this. Such a good point. I know the pieces fit.
There is a live drum cam video of the drummer you guys NEED to watch
I'd let them react to the entire discography in order till Fear Inoculum, then studio version of Pneuma followed by the live drum cam version to appreciate Danny Carey better.
You tell me that a person on "CRACK, COCAINE COMMENT" (BOOOOOO) could BE AS BRILLIANT AS THEY ARE CONSISTENTLY FOR DECADES?? 😉 THINK ABOUT THAT!
Danny Carey, the drummer for Tool, is nicknamed the Octopus, because he plays like he has eight limbs. His skill with polyrhythms is just top tier.
He is the Top Tier 👍
Danny Carey made a deal with the devil. We don't know what Carey got out of the deal, but the Devil got drum lessons.
These guys are between 50 and 65 years old and can still perform all this live flawlessly.
Flawlessly with absolute precision…..
Flawlessly flawless. Just as good today.
Except Ticks and Leeches, just recording it almost ruined Maynard's vocal cords. I think they've only done it live 3 or 4 times, and not for almost two decades.
This album is the GOAT. It is the process of psychological transcendence for the listener. 1. Let go of your grudges. 2. Be patient. 3. Resolve schisms in your life. 4. Let go of the past and future and focus on the present. 5. Deal with the leaches in your life. 6. Feel the universal rhythm 7. Meditate 8. Reflect on your Ego 9. Go crucify your ego.
This is EXACTLY IT. The album is a transcendent journey toward enlightenment.
10. Aliens.
APC's album 13th Step comes pretty close as a concept album.
@@ju4408 That's good, since it's a concept album.
danny carey is the best drummer of all time imo
Don't be sorry for not talking all that much. What you're saying, which amounts mostly to "this is all epic and the.drummer is fucking amazing" is pretty much the correct take. :)
Tool creates their music completely different than other bands, first the 'band' comes up with their parts, figuring out time signatures, bridges and solos. Then Maynard will come in and create the lyrics based off what they've recorded.
Maynard will often choose to have his lyrics layered back in the mix, allowing it to be more sonically blended into the tune instead of being front and center all the time. Though his lyrics are often deep and thought provoking, his voice is mixed like another instrument and purposely obscure on the first listen, helping create the mystique that is Tool.
Edit: Though his lyrics can often be spiritual in nature, if you travel far enough down this rabbit hole you'll soon find out how Maynard really feels about religion.
Not to worry about this band being beyond your scope, most feel that way at first, then it just clicks and you're never the same again.
Only true since Lateralus. Maynard was an integral part of the songwriting for the first two albums, but having to rewrite all his lyrics twenty times cause the rest of the band kept changing things was driving him insane.
Only band I've ever seen that the lead singer stays in the back in the shadows instead of front and center. You never really see him.
Most people (not solid fans) expect MJK to be like all singers and perform out front. Rather, he/they want you to connect more with the music / rhythms…
If you want to see MJK be at center stage you need to check out A Perfect Circle and/Puscifer.
Saw the 2024 Sessanta tour and it was an amazing experience and you def see another side of MJK
A Perfect Circle ahhhhh saw them live twice. Genius.
Very well done. This album can be overwhelming on the first listen. You guys handled it well.
Quick story time about my experience setting up a TOOL concert:
I mentioned this in the video but didn’t clarify what I saw and I got some stuff wrong. The lead singer Maynard was wearing riot gear and was swaying back and forth backstage hyping himself up before the performance. I didn’t get to see it live but one of my co workers said he came out with a bull horn of some sorts and was singing into it, crazy stuff. A fan was on some type of drugs and climbed up to the top of the building and slid down a chain at the end of the show. Nobody even knew, at first they thought he was a worker. Security then tackled the guy😂
Dude if you got that close to Maynard watching him prepare to go on stage you are one lucky MFer. Maynard rarely even shows up to VIP events. He comes he stands in the back without even a light on him he sings, he leaves.
There's video out there of a pre-2000's performance where a fan climbs onto the stage, Maynard pretends to give him a hug, then immediately tosses him and locks him in a chokehold (he practices Judo), and continues singing while maintaining the hold till the song finishes. 😆 None of the other band members even pause their playing.
one step closer to you guys discovering The Downward Spiral 🔥 that Nine Inch Nails album will throw both of you in a total loop
On the list, heard too many good things to ignore the requests
Make sure you include the song "reptile" if you listen to NIN
Parabola describes the shape of a life. at the vertex (mid point of the song) he sings ALIVE
Congrats on your TOOL baptism. Your third eye is now open.
I expect the first 5 Black Sabbath albums finished on my desk by Friday.
Seriously, any of their first 5 albums, it's insane how good Black Sabbath is.
the patient is about his mother who suffered from an illness that left her paralyzed. it’s written from her perspective
There are several songs about his mother on various albums
@@user-tk6wg7ek6b indeed
This journey with Judith needs to move through the A Perfect Circle song "Judith", then "Jimmy" from Tool's Aenima, then onto "The Patient" from this album, and the "Wings for Marie" / "10,000 Days" songs from the 10,000 Days album. Maybe take another stop in "Parabol/Parabola" halfway through since, well, the key, repeated line from that song - "We are eternal / All this pain is an illusion" seems to be another method Maynard used to process and deal with his mother's situation before she passed.
It could be.. Another take is, from a live show they played the patient and after Maynard said “that was a more positive outlook on our choice to be in this industry, this is a more fun one.” leading into Ænema. Like it’s been said before, it’s all open to interpretation.
@@Foffers There's also at least one from Puscifer's: in Horizons he goes spreading the mother's ashes
this is going to be their best video yet
Glad you guys took my suggestion
I found you two through your Radiohead reactions and I was hoping you would eventually get to some TOOL.. You guys got here sooner than expected, which is fucking awesome!!! So here for this!! Spiral out boys!! 🌀🌀🌀
Some facts about songs on the album (correct me if im wrong other tool fans):
- Lateralus (the song) has a bunch of references to the Fibonacci sequence in its riff, lyrics, and structure (check out Polyphonic's video on it for more on that) even thought the main message of the song is to stop overanalyzing everything in music and instead just to feel the vibes etc.
- Ticks and Leeches was added to the album because TOOL's label wanted a heavy song that wasn't too technical, so they made it as a middle finger to them.
- The Patient (my favorite song from the album) is written from the perspective of Maynard's mom who was paralyzed from a stroke. She believed that everything that was happening to her was a test from God who would reward her for her faith.
- Parabol + Parabola are about a single soul being part of a higher consciousness
The greatest part of TOOL's music is that a lot of the lyrics are intentionally vague, which can lead to many different interpretations, even if the song has a single origin like The Patient.
If you want to keep going, definitely go to Aenima. 10,000 Days and Fear Inoculum are both great but dont connect as well as albums.
Don't forget Undertow, that one is a banger too
Agreed, except that 10,000 Days and Fear Inoculum are masterpieces as well!
No mention of Ænima y’all?
@@aintnozombiecatchinmyass..4873 Honestly, all the albums are just amazing. Theres no going wrong with any of them 🤣
The Fibonacci thing was a total accident.
The first "A Perfect Circle" album is also a must !
That last call was an actual call on a radio station…the call and the whole radio station got power shut down….they had a back up generator or something. It freaked everybody out because that has never happened before at the station.
Art Bell Coast to Coast is the name of that radio show (hosted by Art Bell) and I heard that particular episode with that caller. (Art’s voice is not in the song). Coast to Coast was a live (with a small delay) AM radio show that DIDN’T SCREEN THE CALLERS. Art ran the show by himself from his home studio in Pahrump, Nevada and took every call. The with this particular caller was from late 1997. It was a trip hearing it live and such a crazy thing to then hear it when this album was released.
Again, thank you for reacting to entire albums! This is exactly what makes you stand out amongst "the other's" and from what i can tell, everyone loves it! Keep doing what you're doing. Keep expanding, discovering and sharing your experience! I'll be watching all you've done and can't wait for new reactions to come!
Sick video. You guys are lucky to have each other, wish I had a homie to listen to music with like this!
Parabola is my all time favorite Tool song! Literally got me through some very, vert dark times in my life.
Choosing to be here, when you can choose not to. This experience called life is amazing, good and bad.
King Crimson lead the way with prog with In the Court of the Crimson King
Yep, the main band that inspired tool
@@Rookie197I've got my tickets for the BEAT tour featuring Danny Carey, Steve Vai, Tony Levin and Adrian Belew. They're doing a King Crimson tribute minus Robert Fripp. They asked him to join but he was busy .It should be epic with all that talent.
@@ToolFool987 yes I’ve saw that. Watched the Rick beato interview with them. What an absolute insane amount of talent and musicality that will be on stage. Sure it will be a fucking crazy show 🤘
King Crimson opened for Tool when I saw them in 2001 at Red Rocks. It was a badass show
@@davidfetherston2083 that would be amazing. If only I wasn’t still a sperm cell in a nutsack I could have saw them then
Lads your SMASHING IT!!! Opening up to new sounds and thoughts. Watched all your reactions. Peace from England
Love the set-up of these videos lads, please keep it up and continue doing your thing! many pints from Ireland!
One of my favorite bands! If you guys are going to do them again at some point, 10,000 days should be next.
Check out Melodic Canvas. Album title Sterile. It's on youtube.
Don't ever worry about "getting it" - it's about how it makes you feel. Sure, lyrics are written with some intention, but if you keep listening to Tool, you will come to your own understanding - that's what Tool is all about: thinking for yourself.
Can’t describe the joy I have for you guys doing this. I love this band so much. Great rabbit hole. Enjoy.
Great video guys. I just saw Tool live in L.A. in February and as a long time fan there are no words to describe the experience. If you ever get the chance do it!
FUCK YEAH BROS!!!! WELCOME TO THE TOOL ARMY
I love it. All the albums will give you just as much immersion!
Loved the reaction. It's great you did the while album. Looking forward to more tool.
Welcome aboard gentleman. This was an awesome reaction video. Spiral out, keep going ;)
This video is wonderful! One of the best "deflorations" from TOOL ever. You were really great!
I saw tool live back in November. One of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. Seeing all of the members playing together was mind boggling. I love this album and I love all of tool’s work. Keep up the great vids
Love the way you guys just vibe and actually enjoy the music like anybody else who is just checking out some dope new shit. Tool is cool! Keep it going boys 💪🔥
The patient live is very trippy. I was going to eat molly before the show but got a headache. When they came on, my headache went away, and I believe my brain naturally released endorphins, which made me feel like I had eaten molly.
I hope you picked up to not pause between Parabol & Parabola, those are meant to run together
You will be happy my friend
Ænima and 10,000 Days are just as good of albums, just different flavours of Tool. Keep up the good work boys!
Don’t forget fear inoculum my personal favorite
@@okluminous566fr. Fuck it. Just listen to them all.
@@Rookie197 the only right answer 😭
Yeah, I could easily pick Undertow and Fear Inoculum as top 2...if I could actually pick...some people can lol. This was a great reaction. ✌️
Since we're getting into prog metal territory, i cannot recommend Gojira - From Mars to Sirius enough, one of the most intense, adrenaline filled metal records i have heard, with plenty of incredible riffs, drumming, vocals (also, the song Flying Whales is one of the best songs from the 2000's)
Check out the album prior to this from 1996 AEnema!
They are indeed, INSANE to see live
lateralus was on repeat when i was younger because my parents are HUGE Tool fans, so excited to see that people are breaking into their music, they’re so fuckin good.
I’m old. Saw this band in a club with 300 people. Got this cd, stopped for a bottle of scotch, went home and concentrated on this album. Woke up four days later in Detroit.
30+ yrs of digesting TOOL... still a mystery how they come up with everything so seamlessly
Dude amazing reaction
Definitely one of the best albums of all time, you should watch the pneuma drum cam, the official vic firth drum cam, also if you ever get a chance to go see tool concert, do it!! It'll change your life and change your music journey😊
YOU HAVE SUMMONED THE TOOL ARMY...AND WE ARE HERE FOR IT!
I’ve watched I think we’ll over 50 reviews but never sat through a full Tool album review but damnnnn you guys are awesome 👏
Faaip de Oiad has a frantic caller from a Radio show called Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell. If you look up more info on it it, it just gets even weirder. The radio had a blackout and the power cut out in the middle of this guys conversation while this was recorded LIVE on the radio. That audio track of that guy talking always felt the so eerie and too genuine to be fake. Which makes it even more freaky..
I'm glad you didn't edit this too much and left us with a good long watch 👌
Every song has crazy depth to it, album gets better with each listen.
He speaking fax…. Drummer is wilddddd 😮😮😮😮
Just after watching you react to the grudge makes me smile cuz the first times I heard it my reaction was the exact same lmao. Watch some of their live shit, just pure talent and musicianship. Best live shows I’ve ever seen in my life. Even today in their older age, phenomenal.
You are right, they are amazing live. The best live band I've ever seen by a long way
Love the setting
O my darlins! You both are SO SMART I'm laughing rite now bcuz u both are behaving and feeling the very same way as we "old heads" U cant fool us as far as if one really likes it (not many dislike it tho) and you both authentic! Eyes closed, speachless after the wallof sound kinda numbs yr brain after it smacked ya in the face...HARD! U wudnt believe how many ppl say the same about being ubove their pay grade in intellect. Or man, I think each time i listen to TOOL i get smarter! lol WELCOME! Your frequency is a match! lol. Now, we can all spiral out 2gether!!!
You CAN comment on the lyrics bros. They even say that every song is up to your own interpretation, it’s whatever you want/need it to be..
This shit is awesome. You guys remind me of me and my buddy buying this album the day it came out more than 20 years ago. We jammed out to it just like you guys are and had the same reaction🤘🤘🤘🤘
Guys!!!! Welcome to TOOL!!! Your young minds are about to be blown!! Love your reaction to this amazing album. TOOL Army forever❤
Mind blowing
they have some amazing albums
I actually made it to the premiere, I'm so proud of my ears.
To explain the often-hard-to-follow rhythms of this band (until you’ve had multiple listens), here are some terms and concepts to familiarize yourself with:
Polyrhythms- multiple rhythms happening simultaneously that create contrast against each other. The drummer Danny Carey often does this even just by himself by playing different rhythms against each other with each limb. Each member of the band is often playing polyrhythmically against the others. And then, to create contrast against that, sometimes they will play in unison (playing a similar rhythm at the same time) to create a sense of cohesion. Polyrhythms happen while people play in the same time signature.
Time signatures- a typical one in most music is 4/4, which involves 4 beats before the cycle begins again. In rap, this measure of 4 beats is also called a bar. The next most popular one is 3/4, meaning there are 3 beats before the measure starts again. This has a different feeling and is found in polka music and feels like ONE two three ONE two three with the emphasis being on the ONE. TOOL often uses many different time signatures in the same song and often uses 5/4 and 7/4 and even uses 9/8 then 8/8 then 7/8 in the chorus for Lateralus. Changing time signatures in a song creates a shifting feeling of time and balance and is not only interesting and challenging to listen to but often creates a feeling of uneasiness or discombobulation and tension.
Polymeter- multiple time signatures happening simultaneously. Often the bassist and guitarist and drummer and singer are also operating in different time signatures, creating a feeling of disconnect that reconnects when the time signatures align again on the 1 count. For example, if someone is playing in 5/4 and someone else is playing 4/4, they would both start their cycle on the first beat but not realign until the 21th beat- 4 cycles of the 5/4 and 5 cycles of the 4/4 would realign on the next beat. An easy way to think of this is 5x4=20, so 20 beats will align as one block of time and then will start a new loop on the next beat. If one instrument plays in 3/4 and another in 4/4, then they will share a collective loop of 12 beats. Polymeter creates a feeling of dissonance and pulling away until they realign and then feel balanced again.
Motives/motifs- in classical music, a motive is a simple melody that is expanded upon and played with throughout the song. A famous one is Beethoven’s “da da da dummm.” TOOL often does the same. For example, in Schism they use a riff/motif that operates in 6/4 then 7/4 and use that throughout the song but in slightly different tempos and with different sonic textures.
TOOL often creates tension and resolve in their songs. They love to subvert expectations rather than create predictable song structures. They use dynamic composition to have soft and gentle sections that build into heavy and aggressive sections and then back into soft sections and even heavier sections. The complex way that TOOL creates their music makes it interesting, challenging, and gives them infinite replay value because there is so much to pay attention to and appreciate. Spiral out! Keep going 🌀
My favorite band since 1994!!!
Yes. The Grudge is possible to play live. So glad you guys dug in! You just listened to one of the best albums of all time! ALL TIME!
Though Danny (the drummer) has said that it's the toughest of all of their songs to play endurance-wise. While Invincible and Tempest are probably the most technically challenging.
I used to always fall asleep to this album with headphones, as well as Aenima, they make you have crazy dreams but very relaxing if you let the music take you 😊
Lol, I'm 62 and Fear Inoculum is my sleep aid 😅 Generation crossing band. Your grandkids will be listening to Tool.
This tour was my first concert ever. I was 13, and my big sister's boyfriend took me to Boston to see it. Since you guys were talking about how sick you thought it would be live, Ill just say they were flawless. Aenima is my favorite album of theirs, but this one will always be really significant to me.
Great and genuine reaction, guys! If you enjoy this type of architectural drumming, you will most likely enjoy Rush (drummer Neil Peart) and Porcupine Tree (drummer Gavin Harrison) as well. :)
Legit subbed to the patreon just for this reaction lol
If I had a time machine I would go back and listen to Lateralus for the first time. Lol
I still remember running out to the CD store in the mall to pick up my pre ordered copy and blaring The Grudge as I drove out of the parking lot in my 76 Ford. Oh the good old days
I haven’t seen many people react to entire tool albums, so good job on that! This is my favorite band. No one I know likes them. Which is wild to me it’s some of the best music ever made.
Welcome, strap in and enjoy the ride.
I’d recommend taking a step back to the previous album Aenima before stepping forward to 10,000 Days and then Fear Inoculum to see how they evolved 🌀
I definitely recommend you check out some of their music videos, they're super weird and awesome. I love the ones for Schism and Parabola.
Yall def gotta listen to 10000 days after. Lateralus is probably their most cohesive body, but 10000 days is my favourite musically. Also aenima is phenomenal too
it’s crazy bc i grew up listening to this band ( im 19 ) my father played sober , 46&2 and i loved it but never truly immersed myself into their music until recently. Dove deeper into their music and man… fell in love with everything about them. Glad to see others around my age into Tool lmao 😂keep on exploring them !
Saw them in concert this past January in Corpus Christi and it’s the most amazing, crazy, trippy concert ever. 🙂↕️
Also yeah you’re right , Maynard writes poems. He doesn’t really call himself a rockstar , instead he refers to himself as a poet and it’s beautiful imo. His songs are very very metaphorical and hard to understand but once you do it’s eye opening honestly.
Tool drummer Danny Carey is indeed considered one of the best drummers alive. You really need to check out the drum cam of Pneuma for an up close look at how incredibly awesome he is.
4:04 can confirm
I like that you changed the scenery after ‘the shit.’ Good work
The rabbit hole is real…
If you guys wanna see the drummer perform close up, check out the RUclips video, Danney Carey "Pneuma" by Tool. It's the one with 35m views
I've listened to this album maybe 400 times start to finish and I just want to say you guys did a really good job cutting song sections together. Can I ask, did you guys edit this? Or did someone more familiar with the album edit? Thanks for the video.
I do all the editing! Guy who sits on the right
Been following the channel for all season one and this season so far. You guys have the best reactions. Would love to see you guys do Ego death by the band polyphia.
Having to have a bowle movement after hearing Ticks and Leeches is one of the most honest and real reactions I've ever seen.....if that dont get shit moving, nothing will! LMAO Enjoying this reaction very much! I am really digging that you listen to entire albums. This is the way.
So great to watch the creation of new Tool fans
The guy calling in the last track, on the phone was an actual real call. He called into a radio show back in the 1980s I believe
I seen them again in November and i swear no many how many times i see them it brings chills to me evertime. I cant describe the feeling i just dont have the words. If you've ever seen one of those religious things on tv where everyone looks like they're hypnotized and everyone is under the control of the guy speaking thats what it feels like. Its a whole other feel. Especially if you have a bit of shrooms or something.
Love y’all! I discovered this album a couple years ago when I was a freshman. It’s definitely a strange first listen when you don’t have the correct mindset or initial understanding. Especially their previous album Ænima. However, as a musician, it is about as perfect as an album can get. Just for future reference, Adam Jones is the guitarist, Justin Chancellor plays bass, Danny Carey is the octopus on drums, and Maynard James Keenan is the vocalist.
All in baby ❤😊
Another album that will overwhelm you is Last Rights by Skinny Puppy. It's not rock music, but it's just as wild in a totally different way.
Great Sat. listen. Don't know where you are but I lived in KY a while and in Parabol when the frogs came in, I saw one of you (black shirt) hear and look around wondering if it was in or out of your headphones. If you live with that sound in nature those frogs will get you every listen 😅 🐸
I told you man. Shrooms and Tool go hand in hand.
Amen
true story, dude was going down a bad trip, we turned on this album, saved his trip and had an awesome night
I discovered Tool when I was 13 and saw the video for Schism on a music channel. Needless to say my 13-year-old brain didn't fully grasp what was going on but I knew it was special. Still one of my absolute favourite bands 17 years later.
Also, I don't know if this will be requested often, it's not as well known as Tool, but I'd love to see you guys react to the Bath/Leaving Your Body Map double album by maudlin of the Well.
Probably my favourite metal album of all time (but like with Tool, it's a lot more than just metal). The music was heavily inspired by astral projection and some of the songs were even written while lucid dreaming. There's nothing else quite like it.
As I said, I don't think there'd be a lot of demand for it as a reaction, but even as a listen in your own time I can't recommend it enough. Puts me in another world every time
That's cool that the background seems to get darker over time
Tool is my fave band, I am a 61 year old lady and I have been lucky enough to have experienced so so many fantastic bands all the way from the late 1960s through to about 2010; sadly I have more trouble finding any newer music I really relate to now, my latest new band (for me anyway!) that I really like is Sleep Token. But in line with you listening to Tool and AIC ( another fave of mine!) I would like to recommend another grunge era band and their first album, Ten. The band is Pearl Jam and that first album is fantastic. Eddie Vedder is another singer with a very distinctive voice!
