Fun Fact: All of the band members were in their 50s when they recorded this song and dropped this album. This is the result of 4 seasoned greats playing at the top tier of musicianship. The entire album is like this, its not just a mindset that they had for this song. The idea of the album is personal growth.

[@konkeydonged]

I've seen Tool live multiple times, first in 2006 and most recently in January 2020 right before the pandemic (they had to cancel to the rest of the tour for obvious reasons). Easily THE best live band I've seen, and this song was definitely one of the highlights for me. They sound even better live than on record. You should watch the live cam upload of Danny Carey performing the drum solo

[@sonofrobert]

We saw them in March '20, which was their last show before pandemic shutdown. Quite the experience. I wish I would have seen them in the desert with Rage in the 90s. I prefer the heavier, more rockin Tool.

It took them only 10 years to make it 🤣🤣🤣 I LOVE Tool. Top 10 bands for me. They don’t release new music much but when they do, it’s worth the wait that’s for sure.

[@DM-il1hf]

Most of that time (13 years actually) the band was caught up in lawsuits with their previous label. Plus they all have other bands, Maynard has the vineyard in Jerome, Adam does his thing with art, animation, etc… They didn’t need to do this record at all, which is why it came out so brilliant. It was 100% authentic & it resonated with the listeners. And you know Tool fans, as picky & analytical as it gets but many will call this one their masterpiece.

[@sonicgli]

Haha, that was great, he had the same experience as most Tool fans- In the beginning, you're not sure, halfway through you don't know what's happening but can't stop listening, by the end you can't believe the song is still going but don't want it to stop. 🤣

When I first saw TOOL live, this was the song they opened with. It was AMAZING live! It was like being on psychedelics whilst having a spiritual experience. They are not as big as they should be.

[@TheTenngoat]

They are HUGE in the metal/alternative circle. There isn’t a rock music enthusiast who doesn’t know who Tool is. True, there are some who say that Tool is not their cup of tea. That’s because they don’t know how to actually LISTEN to them. I always use the example of Tool being a fine wine. You want to listen to them in “sips” (like wine) rather than gulps.

[@stillthesameEvans]

[@davecapton3373]

Tool is a terrible band to start with. It ruins everyone else

[@alaniasdruid8616]

I love Tool seen them live one of the greatest bands of all times, if not the best. That being said it is not a great band to start out on for many "normies" when it comes to music. It is very unique, skilled and out there. It's actually hard for a lot of people who know basic 3 chord progression songs to listen too. It requires work on the listeners end to truly enjoy it. You can't just pop it on in the background and understand it, which sadly is how ALOT of people are used to listening to music. You have to pay attention. I've found much better success with my normie friends to introduce them to other stuff first, and slowly work your way toward Tool. If I start out with Tool there is a high percentage chance they say something along the lines of "I can tell they are skilled but it's too weird for me" Just my two cents! Have a great day.

[@user-br2gi8kh5s]

​@@davecapton3373 Not really, Tool is one of my favorite bands but listening to them first would definitely not ruin the experience of listening to other greats because every great band offers something different than every other one.
