These songs were incredibly beautiful, my favorites of the album. I'm pretty tired of editing videos so I'm going to take a break for a week or two, and when I come back I'll probably do TOOL alongside other artists just to mix it up and so I can get around to some other music I've wanted to check out. Thanks for everything!

These three songs are life changing

Seeing shapes while listening to music? Dude yeah, absolutely! Honestly....to me this album has no equal. Ever. EVER.

Eeeeek..I am at the park with no headphones!!!

I fell in love with Reflection from my first listen.

The melody from : So crucify the ego, before it's far too late To leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical And you will come to find that we are all one mind Capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable Just let the light touch you And let the words spill through And let them pass right through Bringing out our hope and reason has been stuck in my head permanently for about 20 years now. I listened to the album on mushrooms and that part was one of my "peaks" and basically changed my perspective forever. the melody comes into my head randomly and stays there for a couple of hours. its like a recurring acid flashback, but the symptoms are that i hear this part of "reflection" on repeat.

We’re here for the ride 😀

The drums at the beginning of Reflection are some of the best I have heard. The way they enter off of that droning drum hit is just amazing.

I think I have listened to Disposition and Reflection for 10,000 hrs

These 3 song together are my favorite tool songs for mush.

I love watching these videos because everyone else I introduce to Tool, never actually listens to the music. They end up talking over it, or don’t actually pay attention to the music. So it’s good to see people who actually listen to the music and see how in depth it is.

Reflection is one my all time favorite song lyrically and sonically

Listening to this album stoned is such an experience. You feel it on so many levels. I like watching you react to them. I vicariously experience it for the first time again.

In response to your thoughts on music and its relation to us as humans....save for few other very specific things, truly great, authentic music is capable of almost bridging the infinite but ephemeral gap between one's own consciousness and someone elses. For me, these tracks and several other tool songs reach that status....and honestly its the ultimate goal of music in my opinon.

What you said about the frozen experience and how that's basically what music is...fricken beautiful bro. Music is magic

“This is the coolest shit I’ve ever heard” That is correct.

The Triad (Disposition-Relfection-Triad) is definitely my favorite Tool composition of them all. They run the full range of their abilities from soft and contemplative to dark and brooding to rawness and rage.

Smoking on some sour Diesel myself, been enjoying watching you man The holy Trinity especially reflections is just amazing Been enjoying this trip so far man, keep going

Your comment on seeing shapes when listening to music made perfect sense to me I can really relate to that

There's a reason those songs blend together so well, it was written as one song. It only got split into 3 to satisfy contractual agreements on how many songs were necessary to be considered an album (same with parabol/parabola). And the sound over the final track was a recording of Danny's amp dying.

Its nice to see that you put these 3 songs together, since their overall meaning belong together. Disposition, Reflection and Triad are basically describing the cycle of human life and the whole universe. We are new born stars, finding our way in the universe (Disposition) We find gravity to get influenced by and reflect our behaviour by killing the ego in the best way (Reflection). Finally we've reached enlightemend and celebrate Life by crushing old systems. (Triad) ...and cycle goes on.. I actually cried like a baby when i came to this discovery and digged deeper into the lyrics. Nice to see you feeling the vibe.

Tool possesses the power to put you into so many different head spaces. The Holy Trinity rounded out this album beautifully.

Here we goooooo!!!

When I was a teenager, feeling down, I would go out to the cliffs and watch the waves break against the shore, listening to disposition/reflection. I never really got into the lyrics, but the melodies relaxed like nothing else. At some point I learned the lyrics; they uplift, they point to purpose. It's still where I go when I'm feeling down. The most similar feeling I've gotten from music is shpongle, and now Lucid Planet Thank you for your reaction!

“Freezing information, feelings, experience and feedback from the Universe into Music “ awesome way to describe this journey! .... also, this is not the last time you will hear about Area 51!

There's something very special about watching people react to Tool. You're almost reliving the same experiences and feelings from when you listened to it the first time. BTW, your timing for hitting the pipe couldn't have been better. Reflection is the best track to be high on. 👏❤️

I just love the way the musical themes and ideas from Disposition interweave and then return full throttle in Reflection ,a song with an entirely different groove and vibe but it just WORKS on so many levels. Reflection is my favorite Tool song just because of the absolute portal to another dimension it just takes you on. You truly will hear this song dozens of times and still be hearing details and uncovering meaning.

I like to view these 3 songs as a long roadtrip, Disposition is the beginning of the trip, watching the weather change out of the passenger window, from sunny to rainy. Reflection is the overnight trek of the journey, where the wild thoughts and darkness awaits, and Triad is the sunrise and end of the journey, with a new understanding and appreciation of the true nature of this life around you.

I have really enjoyed your journey, its so utterly honest. I first experienced this album on a very long bus ride, listened to it on repeat. It became too real.

Reflection is amazing and I interpret it as breaking out of a deep depression as well as breaking down one's ego.

Thankyou! I have enjoyed watching these with you thus far :) and partaking ;) I dont think anyone listens to the last track for enjoyment, but it has taken me this many years to realise that it is an expression of what is to come in 10,000 days.

I think something clicked in me tonite, and I'm hearing so much in the music that I somehow missed before... and it all looks very visual to me while I hear it too! I feel like I'm hearing it in the way you're hearing it, cuz your faces match how it's making me feel. Spiral out, man. Thank you for sharing this!

Triad is absolutely without a doubt my favorite instrumental track ever made

I see these 3 songs as the following: You find yourself the disposition to put things in motion, collect yourself; then you reflect on everything that you find necessary to do in your life. Then Triad hits and it hits harder than the previous two, my reasoning being is that now is time for tribulations and it ain't pretty to endure what life throws at all most of the time. But there comes a time where the storm will pass, hence the way it ends.

Disposition is one of my favorites , almost seperate from tool entirely , it’s so soothing and introspective and weird hahahah it is bitter sweet , you can feel the passing of time , but also in the moment. I listen to this in nature a lot

I used to eye roll HARD at reaction videos but yours are somehow different, and really something special. I'm simultaneously envious that you get to experience Tool for the first time, which of course all of us commenting here have, but your commitment and intention and presence are such a joy to watch. You're really here for it. It's almost like I get to relive the first times I experienced Tool at each step of their discography through viewing your experience. And I bet those of us who have been following along on your Tool journey were having similar reactions while you heard these absolutely incredible songs in particular. I found myself rocking out, of course, but also saying to myself (and perhaps aloud to you) "No dude! Just wait! Here comes the part that is going to turn your reality inside out and flip you back around again!" and then you hear it, and we see you smile and welp, we're smiling too, man. Thanks for this!

Good timing for the video, time to get high and finish up my shift. good vids man cant wait for you to hear their newer works. pnuema and invincible back to back stoned... holy smokes....

I find myself laughing at Danny's percussions ALL. THE. TIME. So cool!

Excellent reaction. I'm on that same page with seeing/feeling geometry while hearling music. I always perceive shapes and textures when hearing sounds and those that Tool produces within that manifestation in me is like no other, and I often think how these things they've created have already been living inside me. It's pretty crazy, and I'm sure others and you yourself feel the same way. It's like they've somehow made a blueprint of the wavelength of my mind and body.But really it's the wavelength of creation and being that they've tapped into, and we relate so strongly because it's a blueprint of all nature. And of course Tool aren't the only musicians doing this but man, they're doing it so well.

Have you checked out Jon Kew yet? He is pretty spot on with Danny covers. Same energy, power, sound, it's pretty amazing. Especially because the only drum cam we have is Pneuma.

Great reaction man, just the joy on your face shows it all. My first concert ever was Tool at Red Rocks '98 on two blotters when I was 16. I think I went to 3-4 Lateralus shows, Pepsi Center being the best behind that show. I missed the Fear Inoculum Tour, couldn't shell out $250 for nosebleed seats but at least I got to see them in their prime.

Man you remind me so much of my friend I haven t spoken to in a long time. Super chill. I really thought it was cool how you mentioned a hive mind feeling before the words "we are all one mind" subbed

I was a kid, before I started smoking and drinking, listening to this masterpiece in my dark room. I remember tripping on this art, in my head. It’s a moment I will forever be grateful for.

It's a great vibe for sure ...toked as well , love the airyness
