Only discovered Tool in the last 5 years, and going back into their back catalogue has been a revelation. I totally agree with you in that if you are a fan of music then Tool is a natural path to take. Their musicianship is second to none, and oh yeah it helps to have quite possibly the greatest drummer that ever lived.

Their ENTIRE 30 year discography is full of masterful compositions...Throw a blind dart and you'll hit one.

Must have heared this track over a 100 times and it never fails to amaze me

I know some Tool, but I'm learning too. This one is new for me. As usual I am blown away. Not sure when to breathe but I feel so alive when there's some Tool in my ear.

Tool is undoubtedly the best band ever. Each and every musician in the band is incredibly professional. Each and every song has deep lyrical meaning and complex meters unlike the usual money grab music about a girl.

You're not wrong

The squeal at the end of the solo accompanied by the double kick drum roll into the next segment is the slickest shit I ever heard lol

Before Tempest I didn't think this was possible. Sound itself can translate emotion and meaning even without words. Beautiful doesn't describe it.

57 year old fan of rock music, never heard another band like this in my life And I've been saying it for almost 28 years, To me, this is the pinnacle of music!

I think they are the best band in the human history, all four men are masters of their trade, and their music is made to make you think about yourself in the world you live in. I’ve been listening to them since 1993 and you will enjoy everything in their small collection. That is my only complaint about tool is there discography is so limited.

Love seeing people's pure bewilderment on their faces when reacting to TOOL

This song won Tool their 4th Grammy for Best Metal Performance back in 2020.

I forget just how badass this track is. Then I see someone hear it for the first time. It all comes flooding back.

Listen to Descending! It’s off the same album. It’s up there for most tool fans. And yes you’re 100% right. They are the best band 😉

Descending and Pneuma are my favorites. You know an album is fantastic when a Grammy winning banger like this isn't even the best on the album (IMO)!

I totally agree with a ton of the comments below, mostly that 57 year old. I'm 49 turning 50 soon and I know there's a good chance that I'll never hear another band as creative and deep as TOOL. I was fortunate enough to have met the entire band at small venue in Jacksonville NC in 1992. Their music changed my world back then and continues to do so today. They are the Pink Floyd of today. Great reaction Sir! keep'em coming

😮 you meet them in 92? That’s awesome 🎉

Downloaded this cd the day it was released on iTunes and me being a Tool fan instantly fell in love with it especially this song

Antic Hay by Aldous Huxley is a century old this year. "Seven million people, each one of whom thinks himself quite as important as each of us does. Millions of them are now sleeping in an empested atmosphere." [ Seven Empest ]

Check out in the very beginning how the drums play a melody over the guitar and a few bars later they trade the timing off. Shits wild man

Easily one of the most talented guitar solos ever played,have to keep in mind that the whole band contributes to each other to accomplish these magical moments in the music history💪

This track is the band showing off :) Seeing someone trying to review it and find the rhythm that is constantly changing is always fun. Hope you enjoyed it!

This song keeps punching you in the face so you try to cover your face but then it's stabbing you in the throat so you curl up into a ball and it just starts pounding you all over, then suddenly you're, like, "Wait...I...LOVE THIS," and then you just let it beat the shit outta you for 15 more minutes.

imo, you're not wrong. Tool is the best band. #NailedIt lol keep going, spiral out. listen to the entire discography, ill be here for it and so will the rest of the tool army. much love man.

If you love this, you'll absolutely LOVE Descending by Tool. It's a bit softer but very dramatic, more melodic. It's a true masterpiece.

You have to do Descending off this album, it's my fave Tool song! The lyrics are succinct but deep, the music is fire and like you said, this particular song could be the theme of a hit sci fi movie, it has such a vibe. I would love to see you react to it!

Peace to you friend! 💪✌️🤘🇨🇦

GOAT band, nuff said.

Adam's guitar is cinematic 🎥🔥🔥🔥

14:37 that riff just sound so nice

One of the best reactions ever . You made me feel like i heard it for the first time .

Love it dawg...welcome to the army 💯

why this isn't the nations most listened to and played song right now. is beyond me. particularly with the state of things.

Rage at society? Aenima Trip? 3rd eye Explore consciousness? Parabol/Parabola (two tracks, one song) Cry? Wings for Marie/10,000 days (also one song on two tracks) There’s also A Perfect Circle and Puscifer, both different in their own way, but with MJK on lead vocals.

Lyrical and Sonic wizardry!

TOOL the GOAT 🌀🌀🌀

TOOL IS FOREVER

Absolutely loved this man. Well done. Excellent reaction. I had chills the entire time. Thank you. Please keep the Tool journey goin. Fuck. Yes.

I think vicarious is next bro! that shits a banger and also reflects on human nature

This song always amps me up like I'm about to slay some man eating titans (probably would get eaten first round, no doubt... But I'd die with valor in my heart listening to this shit god damnit). Seriously, if you listen in a particular alerted state, you'll feel floaty and tingly. Tool some voodoo witchcraft shit, in all the best ways, for the good of humanity type of way I guess. Maynard admitted pretty early on and expressly that he sold his soul to make a record, maybe to be an excellent musician. Who knows, too high and numb to be sensible.

Best in my book

Hell yes its epic that's why it won a Grammy rock song of the year!

Perfectionists beyond description and explanation. How can this be? Whomever informs Tool must be related to God.

TOOL IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE GREATEST!!!😎🤟🏼

I have watched all the TOOL reactions of yours up until this one and I have to admit I was a bit skeptical about how this one would go. Its a lot in every way imaginable. Its all over the place and such a long song, its very easy to lose yourself along the way. I am no longer skeptical, at all. Outstanding is an understatement. This is/was impressive. Thank you, from one human to another, I appreciate you. 🌀♾️🌀

You'll find lots of Tool songs have strong messages, though they are cleverly crafted to be open to individual interpretation.

AGREED!!!!!! 100%

TOOL is better than your favorite band!! 🔥🤘🏽🔥🤘🏽🔥🤘🏽🔥 The "off beat" you were getting is because the intro (and, I think, the outro) is in 9/8 time. That gives you that extra eighth note that you're not used to in standard 4/4 time. However, that time signature is not the same throughout the song. I haven't fully analysed it, but most of the song is in 8/8, which is similar to 4/4. They kinda maintain the 9/8 feel with syncopated accents, which is one of their trademarks. 👍🏽😁

Not disagreeing with you (I have little musical education) but I was under the impression there was a “7” in the title because most of this song was in seven

I listened to Tool exclusively for 7 days straight, and to be honest, all other music seemed lacking, I’m a huge audiophile and Tool is next next next level, same as Pink Floyd imho.

While there is some music that I enjoy more than Tool, they have by far the most universal appeal out of any band I enjoy as much as I do them. God-tier band without a doubt.

Earlier Tool is more anger/Harder.my favorite Album to this day is still Underow

Btw.......right in two Yezzurrrr

30+ year fan of Tool. No other band compares, they are the best band of my lifetime. #Toolforever (my opinion about this song is that it is political towards a particular person but that's just my opinion).

Good video man I'm proud of ya. Real recognizes Real

Tool is the best band.

Not many people get the Tool pattern, but you got it on point bruh. Keep it coming mate 🤘🤘🤘

All tool songs make me look inward as opposed to placing meaning to one thing. The lyrics seem to apply to all points of life for most people in my opinion. You have great reactions! Thank you for your passion

speechless

I think it's time you do Intension and Right in Two together, no pauses in-between. This will give you a real taste of just how introspective and truly masterful they are. Once you do this I'd say start at the beginning and go thru their entire discography, seriously, could be life changing..

A tem pest must be just that = 7 and yes the music describes a violent storm. Master level music. 15 minutes goes by quick. Try not to listen to it again if you can.

Have you checked out Descending yet ?

Tool is an outright spiritual experience. Just sucks waiting forever between albums. And i have never heard another band that their music keeps taking on another life when i revisit it. Unlike anything else out there.

Were those the 99 Woodstock riots?

Promise this is my last comment on this. 19:30 It's amazing a song with limited lyrics is able to invoke so much emotion. Doing that during the part thats basically an instrumental is even more crazy.

This was top of the list? Interesting 🤔 They did win their latest Grammy for this, but most probably wouldn't have it their top 10. Great song but they are ALL GREAT. Not even the best song on this album. Probably 3rd on the album.
