TOOL's music has been evolving for over 30 years. The newest album is sublime. Say it with me kids... TOOL is Pink Floyd for the new millennium. 🤘🧙‍♂️🤘

I can't argue with that. They are Pink Floyd level with Rush, Zeppelin for me. I have Pantera, Jinjer & Sleep Token close to that level personally and there's a few others, Skynyrd, AC/DC, VH, ZZ Top. So many great bands over the years. Not much is better than some Joe Bonamassa & Beth Hart or Linda Ronstadt. Jimi Hendrix & SRV are up there at the top.

One thing about Maynard is that he also knows when NOT to sing. The second half of this song is so epic

When they perform live Maynard purposefully performs in the back part of the stage behind everyone else in the shadows because he believes that the music is what's important instead of him.

I do miss the theatrics of his early years though. You couldn't help but feed off of his energy. But the performance has evolved along with the music I suppose @@DatH1pster

This was my favorite track off this album. The "RISE!!!" and "STAY...ALIVE!!!" caught me so hard. Literally felt like my "self" was being called to action. Simply amazing.

@jimbojones8978 see, what I love about music/art is that when done "right", it leaves meaning open to personal interpretation. Like, instead of triumphant, I heard it as a desperate plea like "DON'T YOU DARE GIVE UP ON YOURSELF! YOU STAY RIGHT HERE WITH US GODDAMN IT!" So my hands do clenched fists against my chest.

Greatest song I’ve ever heard. You don’t just hear it, you absorb it into your soul. I love almost all Tool songs, and a whole lot of songs by other artists, but this is the absolute pinnacle, IMHO. Spiral out, bro!

Descending is absolute fire, masterpiece! So was your reaction Sir!

In terms of mix and production this is one of the best Tool has ever released. This sounds so clear but still powerfull, the panoramic mixing is amazing. Also Danny's drumming on this is just next level, especially in the long instrumental part. The way he moves the feel and accentuation is just mindblowing. This quickly became one of my favorite songs. Glad you liked it!

As a metal guy for the last 40 years, it's always funny to see people's reactions to "13-minute songs," which, if you grew up with Rush and Iron Maiden, is pretty average :)

Or king crimson and my personal favourites hocus pocus

I’m so happy to be here to witness you go through your TOOL journey… So many more trips to take. I’ll be here… One of many traveling companions. TOOL ARMY!

Everyone asks the same question..."how do these songs keep getting better and better? "

The intro isn't bringing you OUT of the water, its bringing you INTO the water so you can descend with the song all the way to the deepest trenches and depths, to then shoot back out to the surface and back on land...to do what needs to be done if this song galvanized you to action.

Tool IS the most Incredible group of Genius Musical Artist`s of our Time....period!!!

If you thought Adam’s guitar was crying in Descending, wait until you hear 7empest.

One of my favourite of the last album ....a real journey through music

I think MJK should be nominated for some literary prize for the lyrics in this one. It's like poetry.

Hendrix was innovative and soulful I think Prince when I hear Adam on this. Soulful and technical like Prince who obviously loved Hendrix

The quiet parts and the transitions are immensely important to their compositions, this really can't be overstated! Tool are masters of space, timing and most importantly TONE!

I appreciate your reaction my man. We relive our first Tool experiences through you. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. Spiral out my friend.

I think the emotion that comes through the instrumentation is amazing- as you said “Artistry”. These aren’t just songs.

This is one of my top Tool tracks! I love to listen to this album on road trips!

Please listen wings for marie 1 & 2. Both. Goosbumps 100%

My favorite Tool guitar solo, so glad you found it profound too

Brings tears to my eyes listening to this song, like a spiritual experience that’s hard to articulate

"Like Vegeta and Goku" Omg i love your reactions to Tool so much! And this DB reference has made me like you even more!

Tool is epic and much like a fine wine gotten better over the years. From seeing them in 2003 to 2023. Wow best show I have seen hands down!! See them in concert before they are no more.

yeeeesss .......... you´re in the rabbit hole, dude ...... enjoy

My favorite Tools song. This is a prophecy about the slumber of the west while enemies attack us from within and without. Sound the dread alarm.

I love their "Holy Trinity" *Invincible, Descending and Culling Voices* Is like their Holy Trinity². With the 2 together, I like to think one is a *As Above* version and one is *So Below.*

"As Below, So Above and beyond..." TOOL

Your reaction to this song is exactly what this music is made for. I got to relive my first hearing of this again vicariously through you. So brilliant. ❤

This song is on HEAVY rotation in my life. "RISE" "One Drive to stay alive" Rise, resonates.

Priceless Reaction! Now you have to see it live to truly understand what you're hearing and feeling!

This my favourite tool track beat no quarter and the grudge by a bit when it released but still remains my top 1 song... its a slow burn (all this albums songs are) but so worth it

🎉🎉🎉been looking forward to this

The peak is the most greatest thing I've ever heard... goosebumps, to say the least. I feel it like an external part of myself..it's just so profound, I can't find the words to describe it

Great reaction. There are many elements to Tool's greatness but the icing on the cake is the tone of their instruments. I love the tone of Danny's drums, Adam's guitar, Justin's bass and of course Maynard's voice.

Welcome to Tool Army bro!! Been on this journey 30+ years and it only gets better. This is an inner journey that every person feels differently. Still gives me chills

Tool has absolutely mastered their talents, no one compares. One of the best, if not the best, band of my lifetime. #JustinMaynardDannyAdam

Funny how you started out with "13 MINUTES? Idk... I'll do my best"... 6 minutes later... That guitar! It's crying! Let's take that back" 😂😂😂😂

Thank you for showing so much appreciation for Adam Jones on this song. I sometimes feel like he's sort of the unsung hero of so many tool songs, and I think this song in particular is his absolute best work to date. Being in a band with 3 other musical geniuses can make it easy to get overshadowed. I know Adam Jones isn't one of the greatest guitar players ever, but he gives each song exactly what it needs. He's so creative and has such a specific sound you know immediately it's a tool song even if you've never heard it before the second you hear Adam. I also found your goku/vegeta analogy particularly funny. Great video, keep it up! 🤘

"Danny and Adam did the fusion dance on this one!" Priceless!!

How they lay all that down is amazing.

My favorite tool song is whichever one I just listened to…… and then I listen to another 🌀🌀🌀

"Oooh, come on Danny!" You're hooked. I love it!

there is tool, and then there’s everyone else…saw them live in a small club in santa barbara in ‘95, never looked back

Thank you for rewinding that beautifulness again, even after the song was over 🙌 🔥

TOOL is amazing! You really have to listen many times and read the lyrics, they have over 30 years of great music and have evolved, I listen to TOOL daily like medicine to your mind!

Time is relative 🌀

That was a fun live stream. I love how after the Pneuma drum cam reaction Mugs started to mention Danny by name. Now after this one he sure knows Adam's name>

This song and Pneuma are the culmination of TOOL’s discography

E P I C 🎉❤ Goosebumps e v e r y t i m e 🤟

The crying guitar in the last 3 minutes is some of the best music ever created

It was my pleasure to enjoy this song with you. A lot of people just can't hang. ;)

This music will start you on a spiritual journey. Every note has purpose. Just look at their artwork, it’s done by a guy named Alex Grey. It’s mind bending, everyone needs this in their life.

You'll love Tempest, cause as the title suggests you'll experience the atmospheric conditions of the storm coming Adam does like a 5min solo and created a soundscape with the music, plus Danny of course brings the thunder with the drums, and this song won a Grammy for best rock/metal song in 2019

@@jaredrogers7863 I've never cared for Rosetta Stoned at all. The vocals are just too weird and off-putting. The drumming, of course, is great. The middle part of 7empest, where Adam just goes off with the guitar is pretty special. But I'd still rank it only my 4th favorite on the FI album behind Pneuma and Descending (toss-up between those two) and Invincible. Culling Voices and the title track are both solid tracks right behind those. Overall, a fantastic album and it's what really got me hooked on Tool.

Gogeta reference was awesome , big fan of tool and grew up watching Dragon ball , I'm your big fan now.

Any other band would be lucky to have one member of TOOL, and TOOL has all 4. It’s almost not fair. The pinnacle of musical creation.

So much thank you so much for this amazing reaction. It would be the best surprise ever after a long day at work to see that you reacted to another tool song. Please do more.🤩

There's a difference between listening to a song and actually hearing a song.. you, sir, HEARD the song! His voice is an instrument and their instruments have voices. ❤

Time does not pass while you’re listening to TθθL. It is conceivable to achieve immortality by creating/playing a mix wherein there are no gaps between their songs.

I believe this song is a rant about humanity being very lazy and lethargic about life, how we dont strive to achieve very much except our own survival. How we have grown apathetic to life. Maynard uses a lot of reference words for sinking and falling into this apathy, hence "Descending".

This track is truly excellent, seriously one of the best from an album chock full of epics.

This thang is a masterpiece, all around, over all, insane, honesty this band is somehow healing, being getting me through some BS for years and years most of my life, not sure how they even do it lol, f..king amazing, also dead @ Adam Hendrix

There’s a video that came out shorty before this album was released where Adam Jones is practicing the guitar part that starts at 17:41. I can’t tell you how hyped I was the first time I watched that video

Brother, your reactions just make me fucking happy. Thank you.

The journey is real mate 🤘🤘 Suggest Pushit (studio version) then the live (Salival version), similar to what you did with Pneuma 🙏

❤your reaction brought tears to my eyes! We are one!

Mentioning Justin, just to do so. Equal genius. This band...given me so much it's legit insane.

Been listening to tool since early 2000s and I'm just now begging to understand they're music and lyrics.

The beginning of the song sounds like you are floating in the water and relaxing, no worries and no care. Not paying attention to all the things happening around you. You cant see the storm coming. Then you are in the middle of the storm and you have to fight to survive. But you made the situation by not paying attention. On a deeper level, this references the fall of great civilizations. Currently we are watching the fall of America, and America's control over world reserve currency. The passing of power and the conflict that will happen during the transition.

So glad you got to this! Enjoy the ride 😊

One of Adam's best pieces

When I was a kid I was playing at a beach somewhere near Jacksonville or St Augustine. A wave hit me too hard, and I got pulled out and under way too fast. The beginning of this song reminds me of what that sounded like

Thank you for an amazing reaction to this fantastic song, Praise Adam Hendrix! :D

Invincible next ;-) .... this is tool trance ...

Bro I could watch your reactions all day! Lifelong Tool fan of 30 years and to watch new listeners appreciate genius is awesome! Best track they've ever recorded!

Maynard, Justin and Adam are brilliant But everybody always waits for Danny to do something extraordinary

Bruh, your reactions have become my favorite. You interpret music so well. Much respect, keep doing what you do.

Just came to say hey lol Thanks for your perspective on this song never realized falling isn't flying floating isn't infinite, I thought it was a metaphor for darkness hence descending but like with the water intro now I'm starting to realize it's both

this song gives me goosebumps in multiple spots every fucking time.

They did that gogeta fusion 😂😂😂

Thanks for the video man, thoroughly enjoyed!

I really don't know how anyone tops this. Can't get enough of it.

Spot on! Love your reaction! Tool fan for life!

The first few minutes are from an artist called Lustmord, aka Brain Williams, well worth checking out; brilliant song

Yeah, been waiting on this one!!

Justin was killing it too…don’t forget him!

Triad, reflection, descending all three go together all in a row. Next level!🤘😎🤘
