i feel like such a cliche Tool fan sitting here with a shit eating grin watching them experience Tool for the first time

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

Funny how there wasn't such a thing as a cliché tool fan back in the early nineties.

[@dalendru]

Totally agree. I was surprised they hadn't listened to Tool before. Such an amazingly complex band with beautiful and charging songs. I bet they are hooked on Tool like the rest of us.

[@tnbourne]

Vicariously I listen for the first time... From a distance

"is he an octopus on acid!?" Yeah, That's Danny Carey basically

[@Egoblivion]

There are guys who are more virtuosic with the double-bass (George Kolias (Nile)) as well as with polyrhythms (Horacio Hernandez) but Danny blends technicality and soul into a musadelic concoction...!

[@janelson41]

You're not wrong. Lol

[@turningthetables]

Just want to apologize to any TOOL fans that feel that I missed out important parts of the album while editing, but like I said this was my first listen as well, so unlike the Radiohead albums I had no way of pinpointing what parts to keep in the video. Next TOOL album we do I will post the entire reaction unedited, even if it kills my computer LOL. Going to post another version of this video as unlisted for anyone that wants to check it out without any cuts or edits.

[@serclintalot4497]

I was about to leave a comment about this. I really tried to get through the video, and was trying to ignore all the jumps but had to give up after Schism. You included most of the calm interlude but skipped the entire climax of song!? I want to stress that I liked the commentary, but the seemingly random jumps were too much. To be fair, maybe it's just not for me, but I am trying to be helpful! I guess I don't understand why you _had_ to, "pinpoint what parts to keep in the video." I'd rather see the entire listen split into several videos than this. Maybe this is why other reactors pause once every 30 seconds; so they don't have to edit parts out? Idk.

[@KahurangiSteez]

Why not just upload the whole thing unedited? This is kinda unwatchable, I had to stop in the first song

@@serclintalot4497 yeah I'm thinking for future TOOL videos we will just do individual tracks and release the videos one by one. People seemed to like the editing on our Radiohead videos because I've been a fan for years, so I knew where all the best parts of the songs were.

[@thewildhealer541]

[@darko2407]

As a 30 year fan of the band, amazing job. It's almost hard to believe how well you did this as alot of tracks are combined. Tool are a mix of King Crimson, Floyd and Zeppelin, with an emphasis on the Crimson. As a 41 year old man, Tool and Radiohead have been my favorites hands down my enitre life. They somehow survived the money, fame and drugs and are still playing, it's quite the blessing for fans. If they tour in 2022 go see them, they are approaching their 60's so there won't be many opportunities left. I've seen them 20 times, each time more spectacular. Id love to see you guys do Aenima, Fear Inoculum, and 10000 Days in the Future All the best on your channel.

I just found you guys because I'm a huge tool fan since I was 16 (I'm 40 now). I love how you two interact with each other and are very entertaining. Because of that I've watched everything you put out so far. Keep up the good work!

[@oneoverprime1608]

I hope this isn't the only Tool album you guys do. Great stuff

[@goncalosantos6267]

Lateralus that single masterpiece, a memoir to the 21century society! Non the less you have got to check the fibonachi sequence thing over in the lateralus song! You guys are in for a treat!

[@hughjanusguy]

i ain’t tryna brag here. i’m 18 and a drummer and tool’s fascinated me so much i’ve learned every single one of their songs and like you said, their drummer’s an octopus on acid. literally. by far the hardest music i’ve learned. danny carey for president

[@Audey]

3:43 Lmao amazing edit there to undercut your dad's mom joke. Great to see you making more use of editing in general, the zoom in on your dad's reaction during Ticks & Leeches was perfect. You guys just keep getting better and better at this with each video!

[@kevinfromttt]

Thx Audey! Yes, I’ve been watching these a few days later and realize Connor has done some ( old guy ) editing . I’m happy he does as I can’t help myself in the moment ;) Thx for watching 🙏

[@okbruhh]

This is probably the greatest album of all time, period. Seems like no one talks about how great and what the albums means to be so great. Every time listen to it I just start getting emotional but in a good way, just how beautiful the sound and the production is just impeccable. It’s almost to the point when it’s not a record, it’s more of a message.

[@quentinalsip2084]

So if it's albums you're reacting to (as opposed to individual songs) my request would be "Thirteenth Step" from A Perfect Circle. Definitely a great transition from Tool and an amazing album! Another great option would be Alice in Chains "Dirt".

[@johnmcternan404]

I look at the album artwork behind you guys and am very excited for the future. Keep up the great stuff!

[@mobius2536]

Such an amazing album, I hope you guys got to see them do a live concert on KZbin! I saw them live once and they play the songs just like they do on the albums and it's insane. Great vid guys I'm loving the content a lot.

[@ishayfriedman27]

You can release that as a podcast as well, that would be great.

[@turningthetables]

we’ve got something planned pretty soon!

[@ishayfriedman27]

@@turningthetables I knew you already thought about it, that's promising. Good luck with it!

[@fernicusmaximus9282]

Can you do A Perfect Circle's Mer de Noms? It's displays Maynard's vocal's more.

[@countquackula8539]

Yes that's an amazing album

[@mistersuremusic]

Yeah, would be the perfect transition for them to.

[@ajfr1n9e51]

100% agree

[@RogerMacCallum]

Yes. Almost a bridge between tool and Radiohead.

[@Sokraze]

Agree

[@maclanroberts]

I love these reactions so much. The albums on the wall give me even more hope for the future:)

[@caseypuryear]

wow this channel is going to blow up.

[@turningthetables]

would be amazing if this channel got huge, but regardless of subscribers we're going to keep posting these videos, they're just so much fun to make!

[@caseypuryear]

@@turningthetables cannot wait to watch all of them!

[@iamthewalrus.]

Heads up on your tool journey. These guys put a lot of effort into the messages and themes in their albums. Almost all of them seamlessly fit or coexist together, constructing a beautiful narrative of whatever you interpret it. You guys jumped in the deep end (probably their most regarded piece) but their other works are just as endearing and unique to the ear.

[@Teeheehee093]

The drums are my favourite part of almost every Tool song Not playing the transition from Parabol to Parabola is blasphemy, it's essential

[@Soljarag5]

Really enjoyed this video! I hope you do all the remaining albums

[@MichaelCortese1]

The Parabol -> Parabola transition is one of my favorite things in ALL of music lol

[@Pyregazer]

One of the best lines ever written in a song(with the context), "Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion between supposed lovers, between supposed brothers."

[@Pyregazer]

also, better headphones, dac and amps will make a big difference on their music imo. It's like pink floyd, man. It's well recorded and sounds badass on good gear.

[@acason4]

Agreed.

[@lilclarky1265]

It’d be cool to see you and your dad react to The New Abnormal by The Strokes. I think you guys would enjoy it a lot

[@turningthetables]

Was gonna start by showing him Is This It, but The New Abnormal is amazing so might show him that first.

[@Yash-wh8xd]

Yesss please !!!

[@MM_FO-OD]

Please please please do Is This It! It's a classic, and I'd love to see your dad listen to it.

[@dissonantprotean5495]

First Impressions of Earth is way better, Strokes 2020 are just an electropop band.

[@blankyd3360]

Is This It please

[@silicone_salami1525]

Whenever I see or introduce people to this album it always reminds me of how I first came across it. In 2001, my parents took me to Brazil and invited me to join them in a week's long ayahuasca spiritual cleanse (yes, this was before it was trendy and my parent's are still those kind of people). I remember before getting to the retreat location that there was a lot of hubbub around a paritcularly well known person being at the same retreat for the same reasons at this time. No idea who this was. On the first day of the retreat we all go through the opening ceremony that was designed to bring us together as a group, bond us, and create a sense of community on this journey. There was a dude there with long white hair tied into a low ponytail who, when he took the rope that was being passed around to tie their knot into, said his name was Alex. In his opening tribute to the start of his joureny, he said he was there to experience the wonders that the flower and root had to offer and delve deeper into his minds eye (or there abouts). He also said he was an artist and at the end of the retreat he'd love to show us what he'd been working on recently. Fast fowards several days of psychodelic trips and wild visions, we get to the day were Alex sits down the group to reveal his most recent passion project. He set up a projector and gave a brief introduction to what we were about to watch. He said he'd been working with a band called TOOL on their latest ablum to design their art and, more recntly, their finished music video. "Cool!" - I thought. He plays the video, and I went through my first ever experience of Alex Grey's artwork while hearing TOOL' s Parabola - but only the last 1 minute and 15 seconds ish of it. Since then, I've been a life long fan.

[@farzelhaar]

One of my favorite albums of all time. Watching you react to this masterpiece is so compelling, almost like hearing it for the first time. Keep going guys!

[@MV28.]

How does the setup manage to get better every time

[@aramacsounds]

Probably fueled by the fans

[@osiriswarner7675]

Probably because his dad is very wealthy and is able to afford to blow loads of cash on production

[@aramacsounds]

LET ME HAVE THIS

[@lightcircular]

amazing album, one of my favourite metal records of all time. would love to see Spiderland by Slint on this channel if you or your dad havent listened before

[@deprivalli]

noooo way, thank you for sharing your first tool experience with us 😍😍 ænima was my first. someone suggested quebec by ween and spiderland and i would LOVE to see that - rid of me by pj harvey would also be great!

[@rolandbranten]

I got so excited when I saw Pink Moon hanging on the wall, would love to see a reaction video to that record!

[@gregorykrug8034]

Three things: 1. "Faaip De Oiad" means "Voice of God" in the Enochian language. (Yes, I looked it up.), 2. I hope you have more Radiohead to come. Hail to the Thief is very strong, and 3. Tool's Undertow is another great album.

[@nicgarcia497]

How about Queens of the Stone Age- “Like Clockwork”

[@j.prt.979]

Why does this comment section have such good recs lol? This album would be amazing to react to.

[@jager9022]

*Every QOTSA album

[@jimbo4658]

Of all the music type of reviewing channels I’ve seen over the time of various of my favorite albums, none can compare to how likable and how well-thought out with both you guys havin’ fun enjoying these albums you handpick all into one enjoyable, entertaining video! You guys are seriously underrated and even so, I hope on this journey of me watching all your future videos I can experience some new killer albums in-due time expanding my taste in music even more with both of ya’s, I really hope this lasts for a looongg time, because I’m totally into this amazing content!

[@kevinfromttt]

Hi Jimbo. Thank you so much for the kind words. We are truly both enjoying these so much and it has really reignited the love for music I had and lost for awhile. Thank you for your support :)

[@Ciscosmiles77]

Congratulations on your channel. Im watching this video and you are at 150k subscribers. Super cool that both of you are “new” tool listeners. Keep reacting to tool!

[@Anistemi_607]

You just discovered the best band to ever walk the earth. Welcome to the rabbit hole. 10,000 Days is gonna melt your faces🤘

[@GuyBrave]

Would love to see you react to some Nine Inch Nails too. The Downward Spiral is the obvious choice, but The Fragile or With Teeth would also be great to see.

[@floridabelle]

This was great! I hope you'll do more Tool albums. #ToolArmy #Spiralout Loved your sense of humor as well.

[@ShiivaWilding]

Can I recommend something truly 'out there' with Haken's 'The Mountain' album, if you enjoyed all the insane ideas on this and on various Radiohead songs, you'll have a great time with it!
