Parabol/Parabola |

[@SamuelHopeOfficial]

So grateful to be invited back by Brass Against! What a pleasure!!

[@m3rcenri253]

YOU ARE A LEGEND .. you sing for all tool fans with patience and love and knowing what tool actually is!!

[@AriUgwu]

Truly a wonderful performance. Thank you for lending your time and talent to this work.

[@Lunitarium]

Great collaboration. You put your own spin on it but remain true to the feel of the original. Love your part on the end of Parabol.

[@xsweatingbulletsx1005]

Nailed it, awesome cover

[@Benegesseritapprentice]

Can't say enough about this performance, certainly giant shoes to fill and you made the song your own. Well done!

[@psycodeloco]

5:29 When the singer feels all the power of Maynard's voice and makes his body shake, only as Tool knows how to do it. Great cover, great band.

@s If you truly feel this was so awful then just say that, don't insult the people that disagree. You pointing your argument towards the people you disagree with and not the opinion they have only distracts from your point and makes you seem like a dick. (Note that I did not and am not calling you a dick, but you definitely seem like one based on your comment)

[@ginabaker1130]

What's your f'in problem dude...Brass is fantastic! You know NADA about horns if you don't see the musical mastery of what they do. They've done several Tool covers & they kick ass! Check out their cover of The Pot & if you still feel the same way, then YOU are the one who knows nothing about music you poor soul : (

[@laevateinn3979]

@s What do you mean by "not even in time together"? Or "all over the place in tune"? You not liking the cover is not on the performance of the players, the band played basically perfectly. I can't tell a single time where a band member is not in time, and if there was, this wouldn't be the recording they used for the upload. I think your issue with the cover lies with the arrangement

Parabol/Parabola are probably my favorite Tool songs, especially Parabol. And you all *nailed* the eerie, ethereal quality that it normally has. gave me chills.

I’m conflicted. I’ve been working on a brass band arrangement of this song(s), and you beat me to it. And yours is killer. Congratulations.

[@andygirl333]

Truth!

[@michaelflammer3622]

Don't get me wrong i absolutely love this project. I had to watch the video just to prove to myself that the singer wasn't Maynard under a different name. This band, and thes collaborative efforts bring me to tears with every release. I've been a Tool fan since day one. These covers played by this group of artists is honestly as good and just better in so many ways. I love what you folks do, please continue doing it. These projects have been bangers!

[@BahamutBreaker]

I know there’s an electric guitar and a drum kit present, but this group never ceases to amaze me with how well they recreate hard rock and alt rock songs primarily with brass instruments. It always sounds SO clean and so good.

End of 2022 and still shocking how f****** good this rendition is

[@monikaszymanowska5142]

You did it your way, guys! When you switched to Parabola, I dropped my coffee mug on the floor. I think the original (studio version) is compulsive yet restrained, and you showed its total energy. Including the loud and ecstatic Samuel's part who is singing his own song instead of copying Maynard. Don't chop me for not being thrilled by Parabol.

[@jimlunn]

[@heyjulzdontmakeitbad]

The Brass section is giving me chills.

[@mlinneer]

As a (former) vocalist, I appreciate how hard it is to cover Maynard's vocal melodies and phrasing. The man just doesn't breath right... other singers will know what I'm talking about. Samuel does an amazing job. Being in the same range as Maynard helps too. Sophia is amazing but she couldn't do this song right. Samuel's cover of Lateralus is even more impressive.

[@CzerodyStudios]

Hot damn this is incredible - also that was an insane vocal performance Samuel!! 🔥🤘🏻🔥

[@tommyestrada2986]

Holy fuck sweet baby Jesus!!! This is my first time hearing of this band. Incredible!! I'm going to dive deep into the catalog today!

[@patrickmeyer7102]

[@bizarrenoir1728]

This vocalist is imo actually better than the original because I can understand his every word while still feeling the same. I love the overall composition. Only constructive criticism is I'm missing the actual bass. Chancellor brings such depth and thats somewhat lost sonically in this mix. That being said I find this to be a remarkable experience. 💗
