I adore this song. One of the great album openers of all time. Great breakdown and analysis. I’m doing the clicks & the likes & the bippity boppity boos all day!

What a belter of an album opener! When I first heard this I knew aenima wouldn't let me down

Great rating! I'd probably declare it a 9.0 myself! In terms of sheer longevity, I would say it's one of my top 10. All these years later and it still sounds fresh and gets me moving when I hear it come on. You almost can't RESIST bobbing at least your head to it. So infectious. It's one of the most compact and concise songs they've ever created. Just pure great songwriting. Doing more with less. Interestingly enough, I'd probably say The Grudge is my all time favorite Tool song as well, followed super closely by Lateralus and Reflection. Hell, I guess I just love the Lateralus album so much.

Wait every month for your Tool reactions. Nobody puts the analysis down like you do. Tool tracks are like 5 songs in one. They give so much to enjoy. Like Stinkfist a lot and agree about The Grudge, The best rock song I have ever heard.

Also, best album. The vibe oozes on this one. The imagery, the darker music/production and more aggressive vocals. Just the best.

I’ve watched a lot of your reactions and this is the best one I’ve seen. Great job breaking down how time signature changes can have intention and contribute to the feel of the song. This was my favorite Tool song growing up.

Great reaction and commentary as always David. Your ability to pick out details from the song is amazing. Really fun to watch. Cheers ✌🏻

Love Tool as well, great review

One of my favourite!maybe in my top 5 too...but as someone said,probably the next songs by Tool,became your favourite one!keep going in your Tool's journey and have fun!good afternoon from Italy

This was a great reaction video. I watch a lot of these types of videos and most people don't break it down like you did. I'm a musician so I appreciate the breakdown of the time signatures. I would agree with you that The Grudge is my favorite Tool song with this being close behind.

Impressive work David. Another maynard masterpiece. His lyrics are unmatched

When i first heard tool i started with undertow and once i was finished with that album i moved on to the next album aenima and the first track on the album was stinkfist. I realised they were changing their sound enormously and i fell in love with them even more. This is the bridge between early and tool and lateralus tool. Stinkfist really made me a strong fan of tool and is in my top 5 songs by them. Another great video david 👏

One of many excellent songs by TOOL 🔥🤘...agree with the score and is on my playlist.

I've been listening to TOOL for over 2 decades and I still find new sounds /effects thanks to the intricacies in all their music. I appreciate your take on music since I'm not a musician yet you help me understand it on a different level

Your roller coaster analogy with the 6/4, 6/4, 6/4, 7/4 section was perfect!

First. Love Tool and love your honesty! I’ll actually watch the video now

David I'm such a rebel I gave you a thumbs up at the beginning of the video. You can't tell me what to do! 😂

Great Tool song. About as straight forward as one of their songs get.

Ahh, the memories, sets the tone for the whole album.

Amazing

They closed with this song in Philly before the pandemic shut everything down. It was amazing!! Along with the entire concert. Love this one!!!!!

Great

The "E and A" got me lol. I've spent a good amount of time counting out Tool songs myself.

go see them on tour.. and do a breakdown of their last song

10:43 thanks for providing insight as to one way Tool makes time signature transitions not feel abrupt or forced

The last pre chorus can be also 3/4x2-4/4-3/4x2-4/4 I think, but I 'm still learning to count. This song seems easy but it has so many changes. Beautiful

I miss your tool reaction,

This the best tool song ever

This was the very first Tool song as a teenager. "So what are they singing about?"

Something gross probably based on the title and their reputation for having songs called “prison sex” and “hook*r with a p*nis.” Lmao

9.1/10 my new favourite Tool song

🤘🏻🌀

I'm counting that outro as 4/4 6/4 4/4 6/4 with Danny carrying the fills in the last 2 beats 🤷‍♂️

8.8 from me solid tool song

Have you reacted to any Silverchair? I recommend Emotion Sickness, Tomorrow, or Across the Night. Thanks 🤘

This got like 8.5 - 8.8 from myself... nice score

I got thrown by the TS in that chorus, couldn't get it for weeks. Took you three repeats 😄

Still a great, grooving song, but my first impression was someone was trying to troll Dave, not knowing he's not a lyrics guy. Ha! 😂

Danny plays the intro fwiw. If you listen to the end of the song it sounds like his normal percussion samples - they've just been extremely distorted.

Hot take: pickups and speakers and the microphone shape tone more than the guitar and amp

Justin on bass he was introduced on Aenima after the first 2 albums... the only band member to have changed

Except Paul was still on bass for 4 songs, this being one of them. The others being eulogy, H and pushit

the effects by adam were intentional imo, the song title makes you unsettled and the effects do the same. kinda like the start of prison sex. uncomfortable subject and music too.

So what’s in your top 5 besides this one and The Grudge? I can’t be the only one who wants to know!

The song is about, lets say, "sexual exploration." But in a general sense, I see it as "living life." "I don't want . I just need it. To breath. To feel. To know I'm alive."

I think this song was after Prison Sex butt many dead braincells since I heard album

Danny staying in the pocket

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Music is so good it makes you forget how warped the lyrics are.

I disagree with you. There was no 5/4. The second chorus went 6/4, 6/4, 6/4, 7/4, 4/4, 4/4, then into the 4/4 bridge. And the 6/4 4/4 at the end of the bridge started on the quiet part “but how can this mean anything to me…”

Tough watching Dave process feedback. I don't think he's a fan.😄

Funny how all these "first time reactors" know the band member's names so well
