This song has one of my favorite lyric sections of all time. "Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position Such a heavy burden now to be the One Born to bear and read to all The details of our ending To write it down for all the world to see But I forgot my pen Shit the bed again Typical" Gets me every time.

It holds so much meaning from a psychological and audial sense. This guy calls it the most "traditional" part musically. And that is the point - it is a harmonic release from the fairly disjointed rhythms of the song. The duality is it fits the story of the song too - that harmony is the moment of clarity the man Maynard speaks as experiences. It's his epiphany that he fucked up royally by forgetting what they said, and he probably doomed humanity because of it.

@@fcon2123 there's a major farcical aspect to the "dooming humanity" thing, which is one of my favorite parts of the song. The character that was "abducted" was heavily implied to be on drugs, and to be kind of a burnout as well. Even if he was in fact given all this information, no one would believe him anyway. He'd be just another freak talking about the end of the world, and this incredulous story to tell about aliens. That's hilarious to me, especially in contrast to "you are the chosen one" and "such a heavy burden".

It’s definitely not a “casual listening” album, but now that I know the songs better and can isolate them as their own entities, if that makes sense, it’s easier to dig into. I guess what I’m saying is I get it, but after some time I got really into it.

If anything this "personality change" you speak of occurs when you force a completely different part of your brain to activate when you follow along with a lyrics sheet. Since tool very consciously chose not to include lyrics with their album packaging, despite the fact that most artists did in the 90s and 2000s, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the way Old Composer listens is more in line with what the band actually intended.

as some have pointed out that Lost Keys Blame Hoffman starts this song off. Hoffman was the man who first synthesized LSD. The skit is about someone who entered a doctors office and refused to tell the nurse what was wrong. The doctor comes in and convinces the protagonist to tell him and that's where this song starts, with him saying ALRIGHTY THEN. Do your self a favor and read the lyrics. They are really brilliant how they set the chaotic nature of a severe hallucinogenic trip and being abducted by aliens. There are a ton of cool references about Charley Brown, The Grateful Dead, the X Files, the Matrix, etc. etc. so please read the lyrics without the song to get every line, then re-read them while the song plays to ride that wave of a trip about being the chosen one to save humanity but not being able to remember that message. enjoy.

That moment at 16:15 where you finally hear the amazing poly rhythm is so cool. I love that part and since I've looked into the theory behind it, the bass line is even more impressive!

Couldn't agree more. It took me probably at least a year after 10k days came out when I would listen to this on my earphones at my 3rd shift job before finally appreciating Lost Keys + Rosetta Stoned. It's an absolutely incredible song and it's one of their tracks like Third Eye and Invincible and 7empest where it just literally goes on forever but it KEEPS getting more and more insane.

You ABSOLUTELY need to do Tool: The Grudge next! Also, so you know, THIS Song has a Connector Track before this (Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned). There ARE OTHER SONGS that do this in their Body of Work, just so you're aware. It's a Good Idea to always listen to both Back-to-Back. Speaking of, at some point, Tool: Disposition/Reflection/Triad. It's about 20 Minutes, BUT WAY WORTH IT!

Awesome breakdown of what’s going on production wise. Not having the lyrics on a first listen is the right move!

Thank you! Been waiting for this one! Love all your reactions. It’s nice to hear reactions from a person who has a musical background and can actually dissect the song

Love your reactions! Great delivery, great info, which encompasses an overall wonderful experience!

Fun Fact: Mike Patton has the largest vocal range of any other "rock" singer. The only other person who comes close is Axl Rose, who this feat is usually accredited to.

Patton's contributions to Lovage gives me WAP

One of the best bass sounds. And that driving riff. Amazing. Love this band.

Dude its just awesome to watch you literally decompose masterpieces like this with this style of detail and amazing passion! I always wanted someone to react to Tool from a composers perspective. One can literally see you looking trough an orchestra when hearing to songs. Keep on going with this! Greeting from Germany

I love your videos! You drop so much knowledge on us it’s amazing to watch and listen to 🤯 i wish your videos were longer!

Oh shit!!! You did the video I recommended to you because of your musical background!!! Excited to hear your thoughts just about to watch it!

Your analysis and breakdowns are the best on KZread. I enjoy your videos more than Beato's. Keep up the good work!

Really liking your reaction videos so far, keep up the good work. A good mix of describing the sensation of listening and describing the techniques being used.

Love that you rewind after a pause to get back the feeling before you interrupted. So many reaction videos don't do that and I'm sitting there watching those and yelling at my screen, "you ruined the whole buildup!" So, thanks for your approach, it's refreshing to see. If anyone has a TOOL cd with a scratch on it they know what I'm talking about, It's like a knife in the heart when it starts to skip.

The ending of Parabola by Tool always sounded influenced by Roundabout to me personally. Should definitely check out Parabol/Parabola!!!!

Oh, Yes! YES - “Changes” would make a great breakdown episode!

I'd never heard it, but listening to the beginning it definitely has the same kinda of unexpected shorter measure vibe that many tool songs have. that sudden change from 9/8 or 11/8 to 5/8 and then back again, such a neat and tricky rhythm that I have always loved about tool songs. There is a Mudvayne song, Trapped in the wake of a dream that does the same with very strange signatures, and I always loved that as well.

Mate, your analyses are great. Love watching them

It gives me so much joy watching your emotions surface, your facial expressions dancing along the track. I enjoy your commentary as there is a slew of things to learn. It all gives a new way of appreciating the music I like so much. Thank you for that.

Don't know what you're doing with this?? Man, you're doing it!! Haha, this journey IS the destination!!

Watch John Kew's drum cover of this song. Its crazy!

LOVED watching you silently count the meters!

Im learning a lot of music production with your videos! thanks and keep it up.

One of the best Tool lyrics IMO in this song "And I forgot my pen shit the bed again".

So good, man. It's like watching a favorite movie with an old friend, and they've never seen it before. Great stuff, man!!

Thank you Niall - Glad you like them!

It's new years eve! Thats why I'm giving myself a treat, WATCHING THIS VIDEO. My favorite song of 2020 with my favorite reactor of 2020. Happy new year my man :)

I also strongly recommend Orestes and 3 Libras from A Perfect Circle, one of Maynard's projects. You will find a melodic complexity, with different changes of registers, really interesting!

Some Tool songs go in pairs, or even triads. Lost keys-Rosetta Stoned Parabol-Parabola Disposition-Reflection-Triad Wings for Marie-10000 Days Also I'd really recommend Eulogy-Aenima, Ænema-Aenima, and Cold and Ugly from their first ep Opiate. Also you should listen to Maynards other bands A Perfect Circle and Puscifer

I'm enjoying re-listening with a fresh perspective of your reaction while learning more from your engineering insights. You have a really good appreciation and openness to stuff I really like.

Just watched about 3 other Tool review videos you did. Then I saw this one right now. I knew this one was gonna blow you away. These videos are great.

YES

Lots of appreciation for the engineering on this video. Awesome! Tool is my fave, but often the engineer doesn't get mentioned enough. This was Tool's first album with evil Joe Baressi, who is an absolutely ridiculous expert in gtr tone.

Thanks for doing this one! Not a lot of people react to this one, especially with your knowledge!
