there’s a saying when you listen to Tool, “ Everyone is a Tool fan, they just don’t know it yet” and i stand by it 💯

For sure keep bringing up the lyrics for these. Each band member are at the top of their craft, including the singer/lyricist. Maynard's lyrics are always poetic, layered with meaning and introspective. He truly treats his voice like an instrument so it would be best to be able to understand and read what his instrument is saying. As for songs to review, their whoile catalog really but here's a few for now. I agree with Jamie Stevener below, "Pushit" off Aenima, then "Jambi" off 10,000 Days, "The Patient" off Lateralus, and "Descending" off Fear Inoculum. Thank you for coming back to Tool every week or so, I enjoy your other reactions so far too.

Look up what "your Saturn return" is as an astrological concept of spiritual growth. Almost 30 years after we are born Saturn's position in the galaxy 'comes back around' to the zodiac house and angle/position it was in when you were born. For some reason that planetary energy alignment affects us all with a spiritual or existential rebirth of sorts called our Saturn return. Saturn has different effects on us depending on what house it is in such as the 1st or 10th, "the 1 the 10, ignorant to the damage done!", that can cause personal reflection and growth as astrology states. Tool often touches on many subjects such as this and can get very deep into religion, spirituality, mysticism, existentialism, and more. Saturn's Return is supposed to help us let go of our grudges and hang-ups to grow stronger as almost a new person "lifts you up like a child", or you can not choose to grow from it and your grudges will "drag you down like a stone" and consume you further into your life until you "choose to let this go".

Saturn is the astrological symbol for Karma and can also represent when people reach maturity somewhere between 27-29, which is the same as Saturn's cycle. The stone is a weight that hold you down and is also a reference to the philosopher's stone from Alchemy which was sought to transmute metal (usually lead) into gold. More TOOL! Any song. They don't have a bad one.

There's a belief that every 27 (ish) years you go through a major life change. Several musicians of note died at the age of 27. Chris Cornell was 53, almost 27x2, which was his second life reckoning.

Yeah, I love hip hop man. But Tool is the most inspirational and life changing band I've ever encountered. It's smart, beautiful, it rocks, it's just an experience. I know that sounds pretentious but whatever. They can change your mind in such a good way. Definitely watch with the lyrics and not the regular videos. Their videos are stand alone works of art in and of themselves but they are distracting to the beginning fan. That was a 25 second scream on this track btw. Give that a try sometime.

Welcome to the Tool journey! This album is considered pretty perfect by most fans. It's really something special, but so is their discography. I like that you had the lyrics on your other monitor, definitely a good way to do things. Maynard has incredible vocals and writes the lyrics after hearing the instrumentals. Danny is the best drummer of our generation and one of the best of all time - they call him the Octopus. They were known for their music videos actually, as the guitar player (Adam) is very creative musically and artistically. The bass player (Justin) also is very creative with his riffs. Been around since the 90s and their run of Undertow - Aenima - Lateralus (albums) is one of the best of any band ever, just kept getting better. The last couple albums (10,000 Days and Fear Inoculum) are also really really good, with the former being the most accessible to a broader audience and the latter being really progressive. Their first EP and albums have an angrier and more raw sound, while the last albums have a more polished and progressive sound. They're all great.

Yes, for TOOL newcomers, go with the lyrics. But avoid music videos till you're more experienced with the band. They can be overwhelming.

ALWAYS choose lyrics over official music videos when it comes to Tool. If you want to watch anything live by them, check out Carey on his drum solo on the song Pnuema. One of the best drummers I've EVER heard or seen!

Yes!! I’m shocked you didn’t comment on Maynard’s super long scream/yell!! Most talented band ever! This album is my favorite! Every song is just exquisite! But I would love to hear your reaction to “Pushit” from the Ænima album!!

Pushit live is somehow even better. Maybe the only song can beat tracks on lateralus

If only I had a camera in my car in the 90’s recording my reactions to my first time listening to tool on tape. Fair to say this band is responsible for all my speeding tickets.

This is top 5. That 5/4 is absolute hot shit! Let alone the lyrics... Heckin good fam

You should check out Lateralus and Descending, Tool is an insanely special band.

We all love not only the music but also the lyrics of Tool's music. But that cat is cleaning itself is going to gave a five pound hairball.

You can pick pretty much any Tool song and be astonished. Some songs are 2 or 3 parts in order to put the next song/songs into context. They have been my favorite band since about 1990. The Lateralus album is the pinnacle of what a band should sound like IMO. Please continue down your journey of this amazing band. Earlier albums are more angry and full of angst. Later albums become more philosophical. Stay true to yourself and be open and this music will fill and change your perspective on life.

I love everyone’s reaction to that scream 😂😂

Skip the Tool music videos, I hate watching a Tool reaction only for the reactors to go "wow this video is so weird, what the heck is even going on" all the while ignoring the music!

Tool is like cake and the lyrics are icing!!

I finally realized what Maynards long scream in this song reminds me of. It's that scene from the princess bride where Wesley is being tortured by the guy with 6 fingers and he lets out that long scream that can be heard all across the land

Absolutely love the chaos that is the last 30 seconds of this song. Thanks man, hope you enjoyed.

Haha awesome. Greatest band of all time. Glad you did this.

Here we go! Can't wait to watch this reaction!

Love your wrk with the lyrics up on screen as well,that's the key, otherwise you're only getting one side, there's always 2 beautiful story's going on, I'm to9 stoned too be finishing long sentences

Hell yeah! Tool are siiick! Lyrics on the side would be much apreciated. 😎 The Pot and Aenima are both bangers to check out. But ALL Tool songs will rock your world… Can’t go wrong with Tool. 😎 I’d suggest not doing the music videos as they often are pretty distracting and kinda their own thing. Peace! 🔥🙌

Right in Two

This is the best band in the world. It's so in lightening and it's a shame not many people herd of them. It could help them in life as it has for me

Donde el metrónomo se vuelve loco, donde la locura y la cordura se mezclan, donde una melodía o acorde (aparentemente) simple se hace prodigio....ahí siempre estará Tool. Gloria eterna a TOOL, gracias por existir, y gracias al Universo por darme la oportunidad de nacer para conocerlo!! 💓💓

The Pot!

Wow! You reacted to TOOL the Grudge?? That’s awesome, bro. I LOOVE TOOL. Good reaction. But now you GOT to react to The Pot, Ænema, Stinkfist, Sober, Vicarious, Parabol + Parabola, Lateralus, Wings for Marie pt. 1 & 2.

Musical masters!!

Please please PLEASE listen to the song Right in Two from the album 10,000 Days. It’s easily my favorite song by Tool and the lyrics have such a deep meaning.

“Choose to… let kids goooooo” great lyric

Anything TOOL is great.

the grudge is a great song about letting go of the past to enable you to move forward. love this song and this band, i like old school hip hop because alot of those songs had a message for life. tu pac, biggie, public enemy. tool is very good at making you think. enjoy your tool journey

Saturn comes around every 29 years

Since you asked, Tool does have music videos for several of their songs (Sober, Stinkfist, Schism, Parabol/Parabola, and Vicarious), but I'd urge to avoid those simply because they are super weird and will distract the first-time listener from the musical experience. As for a follow-up listens, by all means, check them out because they're interesting, to say the least. Tool guitarist Adam Jones is the mastermind behind the videos.

Yea, bro, I love this song)

Vicarious. Schism. But I don’t think you’re ready for Third Eye or Rosetta Stoned. One day youngling.

Also some of their old official videos were animated by their guitarist Adam Jones on songs like Sober.

Check out the live performance from 1993 of Sober....for real. Still the best in my opinion.

As others have mentioned, Saturn “comes back around” every 29 years. You’re a different person at each point in your life when it does. You need to shed old grudges by that time to evolve (turn those stones/weights dragging you down into gold). The scream at the end was supposed to be 29 seconds (didn’t quite make it) and is symbolic of just letting go, purging everything bad out.

Kitty in the back there is groovin’…

Sober, Live

Descending definitely next

I always recommend to folks who start listening to Tool, the first listen should just be to experience the track with no lyrics or videos, just take in the track. The 2nd time, listen with lyrics. Then the 3rd time, is when the real journey begins!

Enjoy your Tool journey, I am so damned jealous you are hearing this for the first time….

Hush, Prison Sex, Sober, Stinkfist, Forty-Six & 2, Ænima, Schism, Parabol/Parabola, Vicarious, Recusant Ad Infinitum and Opiate² are Tool's music videos, but beware, they're intensely otherworldly.

Aenema, parabol/parabola, schism, vicarious, eulogy,

I’m just a normal lug nut but. I think the best way to listen to tool is to forego the lyrics on the first listen and just absorb the song. Second listen is where you get the lyrics out.

Check out "The Pot", it's another groovy one from Tool

the Tool stankface. it transcends language.

Your cat loves to bathe in all your vids lol :D

Personally I almost always prefer studio versions but if you're looking for live, lots of people react to the live version of Sober and the drum cam of Pneuma. Good starter songs- The Pot, Aenema, Schism and Vicarious. My personal faves- Lateralus, Parabol/Parabola, and Disposition/Reflection/Triad (also known as "the holy trinity") all off the Lateralus album. Hopefully you like Tool man, I'd love to see more.

You Have to have lyrics

Yeha keep the lyrics ready for tool. They are always interesting and very important to the aesthetic of the track but Ironically buried in the mix.

Audio only. They don't appear in the music videos. It's just disturbing crazy stuff in the videos. Super distracting and very disturbing. I wish I could un-see them. Trust me. Audio only with lyrics.

Do what worka for you. Though IMO you'll get more out of it with the lyrics.

Don't do the music videos for a first listen. They're trippy as fuck, and steal your attention away from the music.
