Seems like it's a final Tool video (at least for now :) A bit of nostalgia. We hope this ending is really just a start.
Enjoy :)

This masterpiece won the Grammy for the Best Metal Song in 2020. So deserved!
Tempest sounds like dirty old Undertow era tool. Love it.
Tempest is truly a mix of all eras.
You're definitely right about Adam's guitar tone. He's got it dialed in just like Undertow.
The album does for sure. A few songs have that old guitar / bass grind Undertow hit us all with. Love it.
let us all collectively laugh once again at the poseur who told this woman she shouldn't be listening to Tool. now a permanent member of the Tool army, it's been a pleasure watching you go through this entire journey. Thanks for that!
C.C.T. is just a phenomenal jazz inspired drum solo. Tempest is off the charts - absolute gem. Again, I just feel lucky to be alive during the time of Tool :)
The time has come for 7empest! The journey has led up to this moment! What a fun journey to hear your thoughts on the growth of the band and how much their sound has evolved over the course of the discography! I rushed here as soon as I saw the notification!
I do find it interesting how there's a paragraph in Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, where it reads:
"Seven million souls ... in an empested atmosphere"
*Seven empest*
Also, 7 billion people on the planet... It has to be intended knowing Tool and their references. Empest literally means 'to infect with or as if with a contagion'. There is no such thing as a single level to Tool, even in their naming.
I’ve watched every video in your journey! Thank you guys so much. Gonna miss Tool Saturday’s with ya
Maybe do APC and Puscifer next
Initum dive head first into Puscifers Existential Reckoning. You've already reacted to track one and two. You might as well continue with tracks 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12. It's a concept album. Would love your analysis.
definitely go through a perfect circle albums too! some amazing stuff in there :)
Ok, you need to stop with APC crap. A perfect circle is not amazing. It’s not TOOL. Just, just stop it….. don’t say it…. Just…. Stop
@@losdog13 hehehe someone's mad :P
@@kinsa7 Mad? about what? you silly
Everything returns to chaos, epic music.
Now we need video reactions, including the Witness 😎😎
Man, the witness always felt like it could have been the the lost keys to 7empest’s Rosetta Stoned. I wished that was on the album. It would have been a fantastic companion piece to 7empest!
ruclips.net/video/0ukDsv3pweo/видео.html
Now it is time to watch their official music videos... It will be a unique and strange trip...
Thanks for the great journey with Tool! Classical music = yes please, put it in the rotation :)
Adam is epic. And danny is danny!!! But the bass is laying the foundation. Masterpiece. Nobody makes music like this!!
The bassist who never gets enough love is Justin G. Chancellor. He has been their bassist since their second album Aenima.
Great analysis on this one, the person has gone back since the start of the album from enlightenment and clarity of mind to blind chaos i think. Thanks for the company and someone to listen to Tool with.. A Perfect Circle next perhaps ;)
I think it is less of blind chaos, and more of an understanding that even in enlightenment, one must accept that there is a bad and chaotic side, 7empest and Mockingbeat are their attempts at control over the Chaos, and I think they won.
This song never seizes to amaze me
I would love to see a drum cam for this song!!!
Hell yeah
Wouldn’t mind a guitar play through....
13 years waiting for this album, and it was worth it. Spiral Out...
What a great journey! Your Tool experience has been a wonderful weekend companion during the pandemic. Thank you!
YES!!!! Porcupine Tree is such a great journey!
Or even Steven Wilson from PT to present solo works. Perhaps PT interspersed with some of his more recent solo songs, like Tool mixed with APC and Pucifer?
You should definitely react to The Witness, it was made by Adam Jones for his signature Gibson last year.
There is nothing better than watching someone become a TOOL fan. Welcome to the cult my friend.
Keep calm. Keep it calm. Keep calm. Keepin’ it calm. Fuck it. Here we go again
crazy uncle back, great review. You might be amused at something i think Danny Carey said picking up the grammy for this song, he said it restored his faith in peoples attention span to listen to a song for 11 or 12 minutes....and here we all are enjoying your reaction for up to an hour at a time. If only they knew.
Chocolate Chip Trip always reminds me of the cookie assembly line scene from Edward Scissorhands... The strange tonality, the hint of cookies with “chocolate chip,” and the overall industrial feeling.
You: [starts 7empest]
Me: [sips tea, waiting for the bass drop]
You: *Ooh... bass...*
Me: *there it is* [sips tea]
Love your channel
I always saw the song as the journey through the first bite of the perfect chocolate chip cookie, at the start it kind of feels like he sticking slightly behind the moment, making it feel like he is chasing the taste, anticipation building, then it hits the tongue causing the slight slow down as the first crumbs come loose, followed by the bite down where he goes nuts, then at that point forward, it feels like he is sticking ahead of the moment a tad, seeming like he is escaping from it. The gong is the sip of milk that washes it all away.
People will be sleeping on how amazing CCT is for a while I think.
@@eatower2 Nice breakdown 😌🙏
This has been quite the journey, thanks guys.
I'm assuming Tool isn't going to make another album. I've always seen the songs as being chances for each band member to show off one more time as a goodbye. Maynard had Invincible. Carey had Pneuma. And this is definitely a proper send-off for Adam Jones.
I could definitely see this being their swan song and epilogue ;) but I wouldn't be surprised if they blow our minds a few more times
Justin had descending
The Tool journey over? WHAT, no way, now you NEED to check out their Live covers!!! lol
It was fun riding the spiral with you two! Peace
Awesome, I absolutely love this song, it's pretty amazing honestly
Please Do "The Witness" by Adam Jones
New TOOL release since
"Fear Inoculum" For Gibson 🎸
Song and video are EPIC
This was the episode that found me falling in love with you both, I can’t wait to see where this channel goes now.
Much love 💕
As a medical provider, I could not have survived the COVID-19 pandemic, Covid exposure quarantine, and my Covid quarantine without something to look forward to. Your TooL journey brought light where there was darkness...thank you, and spiral out! 🌀🔧🤘
MASTERPIECE
I took tempest to be a rebuke of a particular government official who would prefer to ignore big problems (climate change) (Covid, though it came after this was released) than acknowledge them and make the hard decisions to face them.
The truth will be the truth, independent of what denials and lies you may try to tell us. A tempest will be just that.
That’s just my take.
I don't know if you guys have ever watched Rick and Morty but Chocolate Chip Trip always reminds me of the scene with Jerry driving in the alien simulation.
"Hmmm, human music... I like it!"
“This is earth radio. And now here’s...human music.” Love it.
Would Love to see you explore Karnivool's discography at some point, extraordinary band
Agreed, love their first two albums in particular, plus they could pull it off live (which is how I discovered them in the first place at the Big Day Out festival over 10 years ago)
watched you two make it though the Whole discograghy. it was a nice ride
Notice how Adam and Danny go "back and forth" with the rhythm at the start. One plays the single notes the other the note pattern. This song encapsulates the entire album and their entire catalogue in one song. People say a hurricane removes all of the negative energy when it passes over. People also say Tool plagiarized themselves from old work on this album. Also that the entire album is really one song in 7 parts. The cd version only has 7 tracks. The missing tracks on the cd are not necessary.
What an amazing journey this has been for you both and for us on this amazing ride along with you! Easily the best reaction channel out there for Tool, and much more to come I'm sure, and we are proud to have you in the Tool Army! If I could suggest another band that you might love reacting to, may I suggest 'Porcupine Tree' to you? They have deep, thought provoking lyrics, incredible rhythms, amazing musical talent and are also led by an incredible vocalist, Steven Wilson. Their music can be similar at times to Tool as in it will take you on quite a journey and they also could be compared to a heavier rock version of Pink Floyd as well. To be honest, their sound changed after leaving the Delirium Label so the first 4 albums aren't what I would say would be best to start with. The sound they have currently started with the album 'Stupid Dream' and would be a great starting point for a journey you would love through those 8 albums total including Stupid Dream that they had after leaving the Delirium Label. They are an amazing band and put on an incredible live show as well, and I hope you would consider them as a follow up band to listen to. If I could make a suggestion of a song just to get you started that would give you a full understanding of their sound, I would suggest listening to the song 'Arriving Somewhere But Not Here.' I hope they make the list and become a new band for you to react to and thank you so much for an incredible journey with Tool and being the best reaction channel out there and I can't wait to see where we go together in the future!

Nice catch. I hadn't noticed 😅
Thank you so much for all of your reaction videos, if Porcupine Tree doesn't work out, I would love to see your reactions to A Perfect Circle's discography.
Yeah, I also ''hated'' CCT after first several listenings, most due to annoying synth sample. But, after ~10 listenings I accepted CCT and now I barely can listen 7empest without CCT as prelude.
7empest is a brilliant song, almost on lateralus level.
Imo its beyondl lateralus, I thi k it's the best song I've ever heard! I love it so
Great series! I would suggest a grunge band. Whether it be Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Sound Garden, or Stone Temple Pilots.
Pearl Jam would be my pick. They are still ROCKING it to this day. ✌🤞
I think that if you perceive all the albums in a row, the overarching meaning will be pretty much the journey of a soul through spiritual awakening, or life itself (if you consider that life is but expanding of consciousness). In the first ones it is the rawness of existence with rage, sexual urges, all the "lower" states of human nature. Then it starts evolving to confronting those feelings, slowly striving for a higher existence (with all the pitfalls that come with it). And then you start coming to a place of understanding and refinement. The journey never really ends but if you are in it, Tool can provide support and help to process emotions and thoughts in each step of the way. Really enjoyed your reactions!
I really enjoyed witnessing your Tool discovery journey and your appreciation of not just the compelling music, but also the provocative lyrics. Really well done.
Regarding a classical piece, may I recommend two Mozart piano concertos played consecutively. Number 23 KV 488 and Number 27 KV 595 with Alfred Brendel on piano with the Academy of St Martin-in-the-fields recorded in 1971. It is a powerfully emotion experience (even for a generally non-classical music person such as me).
15:00 Amazing
Yes!!!!
15:19 "so good"
Yeees you get it! 7empest might be the best song I've ever heard
An Accadian hymn about the Seven Harmful Spirits:
“They are the destructive reptiles, even the winds that create evil!
as an evil reptile, as an evil wind, do they appear!
as an evil reptile, as an evil wind, who marches in front are they !
Children monstrous (gitmalutu), monstrous sons are they!
Messengers of the pest-demon are they!
Throne-bearers of the goddess of Hades are they!
The whirlwind (mátu) which is poured upon the land are they!
The seven are gods of the wide-spread heaven.
The seven are gods of the wide-spread earth.
The seven are gods of the (four) zones.
The seven are gods seven in number.
Seven evil gods are they!
Seven evil demons are they!
Seven evil consuming spirits are they!
In heaven are they seven, in earth are they seven!”Seven are they, seven are they!
In the hollow of the deep, seven are they!
(In) the glory of heaven, seven are they!
In the hollow of the deep in a palace grew they up! (In the original, “from the hollow …. came they forth”).
Male they are not, female they are not!
They are the dust-storm, the travelled ones are they!
Wife they possess not, child is unborn to them.
Order and kindliness know they not.
They hearken not to prayer and supplication.
From the horse of the mountain came they forth.
Of Ea are they the foes.
The throne-bearers of the gods are they.
To trouble the canal in the street are they set.
Evil are they, evil are they!
Seven are they, seven are they, seven doubly said are they!”Another poet of Eridu, in a hymn to the Fire-god, speaks of the seven spirits in similar language:
“O god of Fire,” he asks, “how were those seven begotten, how grew they up?
Those seven in the mountain of the sunset were born;
those seven in the mountain of the sunrise grew up.”Throughout they are regarded as elemental powers, and their true character as destructive winds and TEMPESTS is but thinly veiled by a cloak of poetic imagery. But it will be noticed that they already belong to the harmful side of nature; and though the word which I have rendered “evil,” after the example of the Semitic translators, means rather “injurious” than “evil” in our sense of the word, they are already the products of night and darkness; their birth-place is the mountain behind which the sun sinks into the gloomy lower world.”
(Hymns on the 7 matu gods)
Thx for letting us experience your journey with TOOL vicariously 👁🤙🏻
You 2 are great!
Thank you guys! And looking forward to journeying with you into Porcupine Tree, perhaps interspersed with some of Steven Wilson's more recent songs for interesting, deeply emotive contrast. Like Maynard, another inspired/inspiring and deeply driven muse indeed. We're in for another consciousness expanding, spiritually enriching, journey into ethereal spaces for sure
Oh no...good song though to finish on . Don't wait too long to post again
Don't leave yet!! You should run through The APC and Pucifer albums first, they're not very long like Tool songs. You guys have been great, hope to see you soon!!
Neo-classical could be one of the ways to go forward? There’s soooooo many outstanding composers/instrumental players out there right now; Hania Rani, Poppy Ackroyd, Chilly Gonzales, Nils Frahm, Max Richter, et al.....
I know Danny is hitting a wood block at 17:10 but when I hear this part all I can think is “We need more cowbell”.
Thanks for reacting to Tool. Their music is amazing. I enjoyed your reactions. I can't wait what you'll react to next (after Porcupine Tree). I've never listened to Porcupine Tree. I would love to see your reaction to their music.
Maybe you could react to Starset (American band) someday. They're one of my favorite bands. Their music is very space and science fiction themed. They call themselves cinematic rock. It's like watching a science fiction movie or listening to the soundtrack to a science fiction movie. Most of their songs have long outros. The outros are instrumental music. Starset and Tool are different but they both can be cinematic. They both have cool instrumental music. I would recommend the song My Demons. Listen to that song first.
Thank you again! Take care.
One of the best percussionist in the biz
This is Danney fucking around with his new toys 💪🏻
I think there's 1 more song you could do if your interested... Adam Jones made a song with Justin and Danny called " The Witness" to commemorate Adam's custom series guitar... So its pretty much a Tool song.. I think you will really enjoy it.. Love your videos, So good 👍
I will know my hearing has truly gone when I can no longer notice the beep on beat 7 of CCT
This may already be mentioned in the comments, but a Tempest is like a hurricane, but I see it as something that goes in a perpetual cycle, around and around. A torrent (as Maynard refers to also in the lyrics) or like a swirl that never ends. Imagine narcissistic tendencies, there is a center, but the actions and behaviors go through this cycle, and is predictable. Many narcissists believe that their reality is the center, and may have behaviors and lies in an effort to manipulate the truth of what is occurring so that how they interpret the situation meets their ideal, but reality is not necessarily that case. I have known some people with narcissistic tendencies, and their actions are very predictable and continue, no matter what the result. A tempest, or a stasis.
The odd time signatures throughout the song (and most of the entire album) are in counts/meters of 7, rather than a standard 4 count. This gives the entire song and many parts of the album, a swirling feel. Hence, spelling the word Tempest with a 7 rather than a “T”.
I have often read, that a lot of times the band lays down tracks, with no real intention of the lyrics or song theme. Maynard then listens to the music and later adds the lyrics to what he is feeling from the original instrumental track. Now, Tool are the only individuals that can confirm this of course, but if that is the case, then the results are even more remarkable in my opinion.
You guys are great, and I am interested in seeing if you move onto another band to focus on. Great journey, and thank you for your work.
this song wins all
I wish the lyric was "we know YOU'RE nature"....seeing as the song is Tempest and all :)
Could be interpreted as double entendre
Pretty cool Adam jones ..hey badassery guitar here and a pretty cool outro ..or is it #toolarmy🔨
The cherry on top of this album for me was from 19:20 to 19:57. Love the lyrics and along with the instrumental sounding like it’s aligning itself. It reminds me of some grand resolve.
7empest gives me a funny feeling Under the Tow.
Also, Justin the bassist needs more Love, he compliments and harmonizes his guitar so well with Adam, you can tell they are close friends to read each other so well.
Interesting.. Because I too was thinking 7empest is a type of journey through Tools history musically. It's like a giant medley, with different styles combined and Maynard simply being genius Maynard with his deep and thought provoking lyrics.
Hey guys! the journey was a pleasure, hope you keep listening to more stuff as well! Spiral Out!
I'd like to suggest some stuff since you mentioned other band such as porcupine tree and classical music:
other 'prog' bands that might interest you with some great lyrics and musicality are Rishloo, Leprous and Katatonia.
If you'd go to classical music, I don't know how it would work in terms of views, but regardless you can find great music with many composers if you want to do it for yourselves! I'd suggest you don't 'limit' yourself with the most famous '2 or 3', so just naming a FEW that are great but not "AS" famous as some others (you probably know of them but just in case =] ) - Mussorgsky, Prokofiev, Mahler, Paganini, Dvořák and Rachmaninov.
Cheers!
doesn't feel like it has been 6-7 months of watching you do reviews. i guess time really does fly when you're having fun
Initum dive head first into Puscifers Existential Reckoning. You've already reacted to track one and two. You might as well continue with tracks 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12. It's a concept album. Would love your analysis.
I subbed right from your first reaction! i subbed to see you react to this Grammy winning EPIC masterpiece! Thank you!!
Seriously, did Maynard know of Covid before it was Covid? Hear me out...
Read some of the lyrics in a few songs.
In 7emptest: "Misleading, tranquility ruse You're gonna happen again, That's what I think. Follow the evidence, look it dead in the eye, You are darkness. Trying to lull us in before the havoc begins, into a dubious state of serenity. Acting all surprised when you're caught in the lie, We know better"
And they pick this song for the grammy? Great song, but Descending is also excellent.
Album name: Fear Inoculum.
Inoculum defined: The definition of an inoculum is a substance introduced into the body to create or increase the body's resistance or immunity to a disease. Example, a flu vaccine is an inoculum.
Tempest is a storm
Definitely more perfect circle and at least a couple more good Pucifer songs you could do reactions to. Songs titled "The Remedy" off the Pucifers Moneyshot album and "Bullet train to iowa" off the Existential Reckoning album are both killer, the best songs on those album IMO.
Just a gangsta interlude❤️🔨🔨
Great journey guys, your discussions and appreciation of the music and writing is awesome. Deftones discog now? Lol
Yay my favorite last 3
Mockingbeat could be a nod to the fact that Maynard worked in a pet store when he was going :)
Do the Karnivool journey!!! For me, their album Sound Awake does the same thing that Lateralus does.
I love your channel! Try to review one of these two (Alter Bridge - Blackbird) or (Poets of the fall - carnival of rust)
Dru ....... Here we go again!
Exploring Neo-classical could also be a way of exploring female classical composers.....I love old school classical but it was mainly only willys ‘allowed’ to partake. Julia Kent, Hildur Guðnadóttir, Agnes Obel...there’s so many out there composing ridiculously good music as I write this.....
Greatness! Move on to A Perfect Circle...Maynard's other band. You won't be disappointed. Start from the first album through. 🙏🤘
best song of tool
13:07 wow
Opeth is next right?
i'm sure the first choon was Danny's drum solo,well an updated produced version..
When you’ve screwed up and wasted over three decades to a modern day Messalina, you’ll grasp this song.
🤘🏻🌀
Great 2 see CCT LIVE much better than the audio version
Danny's gong has to be seen to be appreciated! And yes, I realise this is a double entendre 😏
PLEASE react to Lingua Ignota! She's an artist that blends neoclassical with noise and metal. Her songs are about dealing with domestic abuse and the rage and desire for revenge that comes with that. She's extremely talented and either pursuing or has a doctorate in music.
Might not be a popular opinion, but 7empest just feels like a random Tool song generator was programmed with Adam at 11, DC and Justin at 8, and Maynard at 5. I get it, it’s a culmination and a display of growth and the hero’s journey as a band, but it’s hard to grab any specific piece and hold on...like being in the eye of an undertow storm lasting 10,000 days and seeing all the riffs, rhythms and words fly by. Powerful, but not something I want to revisit on a regular basis. Still blows all other bands away, but by Tool standards it doesn’t resonate with me like most of their other towering achievements.
Love ❤️ your accent
I think that you guys need to venture out there and react to some few songs from other bands, and the one that you feel more confortable you start this journey again. Some bands that I really think that you guys are gonna like are "Opeth", "A Perfect Circle" and maybe "Ne Obliviscaris".
Other rabbit holes you might enjoy going down: Pink Floyd, Yes, Led Zeppelin, and Steely Dan.
Chocolate Chip Trip is Danny Carey’s very firm nod to Billy Cobham’s Spectrum album. Just sayin’......
For me, it also captures the essence of Keith Emerson and Neil Peart.
There are 462 likes on this video, very Tool.
Just dirty.. This is great..
love your videos, wishing you the best today, Can you react to: AhmoG -Dystopia
he's a new upcomming artist and it would be pleasant if you could tell your opinion about his song, he's still learning and any advice would be really helpfull
Look up Mockingbirds, if you haven't ever experienced the horrible little things.
