      Some of my favourite songs are ones which on first listen I really didn't get or appreciate. Opeth for the longest time I really got off on the wrong foot with, but in the end a decade and change later, my god - they have some of the greatest music ever laid down imo.

      100% It took me ages to get Schism. I love that song now. Definitely not a song you could listen on repeat but an absolute masterpiece. Also, I loved Lateralus from the first listen but it definitely took some practice to catch the Fibonacci sequence in the time signatures. Tool are an amazing band, but fuck me, they can melt your mind 😂

    10,000 Days is my favorite Tool song. Period. Every time I hear it I get chills, and I've been into Tool since my early high school days. They're one of my favorite bands, but 10,000 Days is a song that I consider the magnum opus of their discography. The emotion I get from it, the rawness of it, it's so real and powerful.

      Agreed, as much as Maynard didn't believe in organized religions, which i totally get, This tribute to his Mother is beautiful, I personally think that he's saying sarcastically "yeah Mom, you were only a cripple for 10,000 days (true story) your Faith never faltered, So I hope your 10,000 days of Suffering was worth it and you BETTER get your wings ! Maynard loved his Mother and didn't believe if God really existed WHY would he let her suffer so much? Very powerful song...... I love how the last verse He says :You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence
      Judith Marie, unconditional one: Should you see your maker's face tonight
      Look Him in the eye, look Him in the eye, and tell Him:
      "I never lived a lie, never took a life, but surely saved one"
      Hallelujah, it's time for you to bring me home................................now thats what music is!!!

      You're the only one who can hold your head up high
      Shake your fists at the gates, saying
      "I've come home now
      Fetch me the spirit, the son, and the father
      Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended
      It's time now, my time now
      Give me my, give me my wings"
      He also touches on the fact that he never quite understood her, or others religious beliefs but that she was a testament to the strength one can attain in believing in a higher power...
      Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance
      Burden of proof tossed upon the believers
      You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence
      Judith Marie, unconditional one
      Just my two cents anyway.

      @@monicajean37 I read Maynard's biography a couple of weeks ago and as it relates to his mother it is even worse and gives perspective on where he is coming from in regards to organized religion. His mother's church was fairly fundamental in that they viewed a person suffering from an illness to be a sign from God that they deserved that illness. So when Judith had an aneurysm that resulted in partial paralysis, for (some) members of that church, it was proof that she had strayed from God and deserved that fate. Later when she decided to live with a male friend to help with living expenses she was essentially kicked out of the church because she was "living in sin" according to that church.
      I think that is a sick form of religion and deserves to be rebelled against.
      Tangentially related, in "Schism" Maynard sings these lyrics:
      The poetry that comes from the squaring off between
      And the circling is worth it
      Finding beauty in the dissonance
      He then sings "Hallelujah" in 10,000 days about his mother's passing. It is extremely religious and at the same time dissonant with his views on religion but there is also extreme beauty within the lyric/feeling/context of the piece. Powerful as hell but not everyone gets it.

      In a certain way, listening to music requires skill like anything else. If you can't pay attention to how each instrument intertwine and compliment each other as the song progresses, then you're not really hearing the song the way it's meant to be heard. I hate articulating this shit. I just read back the sentence that I wrote just now and I can understand how some might misinterpret it. It's just hard as hell to explain how to absorb what this band has to offer without sounding pretentious as all hell. So what I usually do is just get people high, shut the hell up, let them hear it for themselves, and hope they understand.

    It’s ok Alex. Us Tool fans (not all) are usually thrown out as close minded. As some of that is true. We are able to accept newcomers that are confused about Maynards style of singing. Though some of us take it worse than others, it didn’t bother me one bit. I was getting 10,000 days vibes from the song and that’s why I liked it. But a different Tool fan would want Lateralus or Undertow vibes. While they are all masterpieces of an album. I like 10,000 days. An opinion only needs one person. We all have them. None can be false. You didn’t like the song. You are entitled to your own opinion. Anyone who can’t except it is more of a douche than they think you are. Thanks for the great content brother 🤘🏻

      I saw them in 2007 at Everett Events Center, which I found a video of recently and had to relive it. Especially considering that I was there with a dear friend who is no longer with us.

For me the biggest thing I notice is Maynard’s voice because I find it so calming and also powerful but I totally get what you say about the drums. I don’t think anyone has the right to criticise you for zoning in on a particular instrument that grabs you, that would be ridiculous.

    from SongFacts and other articles: As lead singer Maynard James Keenan explains in commentary on aMOTION, his mother Judith Marie suffered a stroke in 1976 that left her partially paralyzed and wheelchair-bound. The length of time between her paralysis and her death was 27 years, or approximately 10,000 days. Judith was a devout Christian before the stroke, which happened when Maynard was 11 years old. Judith’s faith remained steadfast during her condition, which left her paralysed and unable to read, write, speak, walk or tell the time. Towards the end of her life, Maynard’s mother could no longer breathe unassisted.

    mad respect for you my man. i actually struggled to get into Tool at first but now i'm a huge fan. i've found as i continue listening to Tool, the songs i previously disliked start growing on me more and more.

    So glad you are reacting to Wings for Marie. Part 2 gives me chills every time. Ill never forget the first time i heard it. I cried. Getting goosebumps as i type this.
