You were originally correct, it was a bass solo.

Had super high expectations and I believe most of us had to listen a few times before we realized what Tool had accomplished. A depth with power and mysticism that only these 4 gents can deliver. GOATS!

This is one of my favorites by them. I feel there is nothing left to say about Tool .Most know they one of the best out there . To me they do more with music and do it better than most

I completely agree. It's fascinating how they do this stuff

For the bass solo: Whammy ^ 1 octave bouncing on the pedal + a fuckton of stuff like distortion, chorus , flanger all together..If you really focus on the audio a few seconds before the solo you can hear a faint flanger sound in the background, which is his really satured wet signal with all effects turned on, you can really hear this live when he starts turning the pedals for the solo

This album blows away everything

The polyrhythms in this reminded me so much of the title track on King Crimson's Discipline from '81 (in fact the whole album is reminiscent of it). If you haven't heard that album, it's a tour de force of interweaving time signatures that go out of sync and then mesh back in every 7 or 8 measures. That was a power quartet - Adrian Belew, Robert Fripp, Tony Levin, Bill Bruford.

Thank you Eithan!

immediate like for the CCR shirt.

What a rabbit hole to go down with Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson's solo work as well. He's just a musical freak of nature. Producing, collaborating, performing in his own bands, just a mountain of epic content. I'd throw a suggestion out there for you... Steven Wilson - Ancestral live from the Royal Albert Hall. Awesome showcase of his abilities with top shelf production all around.

Your description of Danny Carey and his fills being similar to rap artists delivery was spot on. I am not much of a rap guy myself ... but I could connect what you are saying and understand from being such a huge tool fan that Danny catch's you with those "A-Ha!" moments the closer you listen to them. His drum delivery is really special ... most rock is so straight forward that Tool is such a gem to listen to and pick the amazing patterns throughout their work and how the build and play throughout the presentation of the song. Thanks for the great reaction!

I definitely agree with you on his unique patterns and fills. He's completely different than any other drummer I've heard, especially in rock/metal. I'm glad even someone who isn't a rap fan could understand what I was saying with the comparison. Rock on!

Getting back into mixing (hobby for me) and I ended up buying some high quality wavs of this album both to listen to and as mixing references for hard(ish) tunes....most of my reference tracks were pretty old :) The drums, bass and vocals in particular are amazing, I might prefer the guitars from 10,000 days but they work well here in the mix for sure. His snare is very unique and might not be what I'd go after on a lot of tunes, but the toms and kick are just great.

It’s a bass solo

Interesting! Agree & disagree with a lot there, respectfully. 👍 I like it when you bring in a buddy or a colleague to discuss diff perspectives. One thing, and I’m going to zoom through the comments now, is figuring out that break at the end where everything drops then they come back with a new section. Seems like it would make more sense to ramp up and accelerate to that Instead of the break. Anyone else?

Give bottom by tool a listen one of the more slept on gems they have it’s from the undertow album 1993

when tool inspires you to play you are doing it right. tool family loves you.

@15:33 the 'solo' if you notice is done without drums. That's because this is Danny playing some sort of synthesiser or marimba type of instrument. He has to stand up, turn around and play the run, then turn around and sit back down to play the tribal cadence in a split second at the end. Very cool to see live!

Wait so have heard any of their early material? Anything from the Opiate, Undertow, Ænima or Salival albums? If you haven’t they are some killer jams on there. All master material in my opinion. I suggest going in chronological order, it’ll really be worth it as you can see a theme progress from album to album.
