I became obsessed with these guys when I was 17. I’m 45 now but when I first got into them, these dudes had me running for a dictionary to look up meanings of words. What a journey it’s been. Still my favorite band with Radiohead in a close second. And wouldn’t you know, somehow both bands pulled off some magic trick and are still active and making music. Also the first time I saw Tool, System of a Down opened for them before anyone knew who they were. Before any of their success. Had no clue what I was witnessing. ✌️

Very cool reaction. You highlighted something that I've always thought about Maynard. He is a master of melodies. It has to be hard putting vocals to the rest of the bands insane time signatures. I'm going to check out your other tool reactions
@Sohum11 күн бұрын
exactly! complex time signatures + changes must make the vocal melody writing so much harder, but they do it anyways

I love the FI ALBUM so much. It's just as much a masterpiece as their other albums with Pneuma, Invincible and Descending being S tier. Also, I don't like Dream Theater, not even a little.

There's no "correct" way to interpret Tool lyrics. They are whatever they are, for you. If you listen long enough, some songs will take on entirely new meanings for you as you get older. Maynard is a fantasic poet 🤘

As a conspiracy theorist, and given the time this album came out, it has always lead me to thoughts of the Covid 19 plandemic and one world government trying to take us over, but my mind is immune. I'm sure it will mean something different to me in a few years.

This album came out in 2019. Considering the time frame of mixing and mastering before the album release, Maynard wrote these lyrics in 2018 or earlier. While I understand the ease of relating it to the times we were in, it just doesn't line up with the timing. Maynard is the only one who truly knows what the actual meaning is, so any meaning you or I take is what it is. But if I were a betting man, I think its really just about the band members fear of coming back after 13 years and trying to make more music living up to the hype. Ignore all the negative doubt from yourself and others around you, trust your instincts and push through to make the art you want to make. Once you identify the source of the fear and face it, you are immune to fear.

Trump was president for 2 years once this came out. It's who I think of when I hear this. It came out a bit too early for it to be about covid.

It would have been totally prophetic to be about the covid experience. But yes Maynard has made his opinion known several times over the years of his opinion of Mr Trump. He is definitely the deceiver. The video for Puscifer the arsonist is a great example.
