@@anthonymorales5815 Well since you mostly enjoy pop music such as Bill Eyelash or whatever her name is, Ariana Grande, Paramore etc. Why are you here commenting on a video about Tool? Tool isn't one of those bands that release songs that are instant gratification and all about the hook. Tool is more about the layers and definitely more of an acquired taste. So you don't like them, fine . But coming to a page concerning a band that you don't like and then commenting negatively on the OP @A.V.F's post, and how he/we feel that tool is more interesting that shred, accomplishes nothing more than pointing out the fact that you obviously have nothing better to do. So go listen to Paramore, and Ariana Grande since you like them enough to include them in your favorites playlist. You will not find us there hating them in the comments, we have better things to do.

This was me when Master of Puppets came out lol.. It was harder to learn guitar back then glad I had vinyl you could slow it down and this well be me learning this new Tool or what I can of it. The more things change the more they stay the same..

[@sinsobresaltospodcast]

Tool has an approach to their music no other band has. Their bass and percussions mixing, Jones unique guitar melodies and Tone and the way Maynard sings Is just breathtaking

[@Questioneverythingx]

21:39 every Tool fan all day :)

All you have to know is 9:18 of Pneuma... Edit: Tyler, YOU SKIPPED THAT PART OF THE SONG?????

[@o-REDBEARD-o]

He skipped 75% of the album

[@imarioiv]

Pyle Plays which is unfortunate because 75% of it is great, while the other 25% is just filler.

[@matheus.fialho]

He said he's hearing everything, just editing it out

[@shivasirons8971]

That riff at the end sounds like Jones is using his left hand pull-through technique. Think Jambi

[@imarioiv]

I already figured out the riff, it’s pretty freaking awesome

[@jameslewis2635]

'Just when I start counting it changes.' This is when you know you are listening to a Prog band.

[@animal1439]

Everytime I listen to this album I like it just that much more. This is definitely an album that gets better with repeat listens, as it is for most TooL records.

[@shaktinigam20]

Tool using the tabla as percussion in the first song blew my mind By the stringy thing was santoor (also in first song )

[@jeremydenton4192]

Invincible starts as a polymeter where the drums are playing in 3's and the guitar is is in 7/4

[@Baz87100]

Can't believe this coming August the album will be 3 years old. Flown.

[@The7empest]

This is so much more entertaining of a reaction than all the people who don’t have a clue as to how music is actually made, I like how you can actually recognize what’s happening in the songs, not just sitting there mindlessly going “ohhhh” every time something cool happens in the song

[@BecomeTheKnight]

I.......I just don't get it man 😂😂 I can see some of the cool moments but I just don't care that much for the compositions as a whole. But this video is a cool approach to the "reaction" format working in the guitar with a first viewing. Respect for that 🤘

[@someperson9052]

Understandable, have a nice day.

[@someperson9052]

@Javier Cruz oh did you just one up me, bitch?

[@Wessels4u]

In my opinion. Most people who bash this album are looking for that one song that grabs you by the tool and gives you a quick jab of shredding. They're never going to get it with this album. It's an experience. The whole album is a trip you gotta take in. Huge long rhythmic build ups. Crazy tones and intros. You'll never get that on radio edits. This one's for the die hard fan. And that's ok.

[@ArtofTechnologyPodcast]

Really love this ! Thank the heavens for this album, clearly a lot of us needed it ! I know you're a guitar player, but if you ever wanna collab i do lots of bass session work and tool covers like this one :

Grew up on tool, my mom and dad used to always listen to their albums when I was little, and back in later 2018 I started to listen to them myself and remembered certain songs I had no idea were Tool songs. I absolutely love Tool, though a lot of their songs are growers and need multiple listens to start appreciating them, but I love it.

[@electricwaster]

13:42 there is no way this is not influenced by one of these days by Pink Floyd, the sliding chords are exactly the same, no wonder I like both bands so much,

Why isn't this a thing yet?

[@robbinsphere5327]

some random guy How about you go more into depth about how Adam plays and less of the note choice? Rhythms? Nuances? It’s not just “hurrdurr D-E-F” all the time. There’s plenty to be learned from Adam Jones’ playing, just sayin’

[@PaulisInclusion]

Kobe Gamble just ignore the troll lol

[@shamitoson]

@some random guy I see others arguing with you. But you're basically right. Not much going on with Adam's guitar playing. All old ideas slightly tweeked. Zzz zzz zzzzz

[@BruceBrannock]

7empest intro reminds me of King Crimson Frame by Frame intro. The polyrhythmic intro is it a very good way to get somebody's attention. I'm pretty sure you have caught that already.

[@foxxmulderxx]

I heard the same thing. I think Robert Fripp was one of his influences.

[@BruceBrannock]

@@foxxmulderxx David Bottrill Produced King Crimson - Thrak (1995) Tool - Ænima (1996) Tool - Salival (2000) Tool - Lateralus (2001) and I've heard Adam talk about King Crimson in the past. I don't think it was intentional. However, I always think Tool is a modern version King Crimson in a lot of ways, don't get me wrong Tool is their own self but you hear the influence of King Crimson in them.

[@mugwump7049]

@@BruceBrannock They also toured together.

[@BruceBrannock]

Guillaume Perez I did not know that that would’ve been a sight to see. The last time I saw Tool was with Isis. Which was very cool because I was a big Isis fan at the time also.

[@mugwump7049]

@@BruceBrannock Yeah, I love Isis too. There's a 3 CD bootleg of the Tool/Crimson show in San Diego if you're interested in lending an ear. Sound quality is pretty good for a bootleg and Fripp plays a bit on the intro to Sober.

[@cosmiccomedy7394]

My problem with the album is imo there's not one catchy hook by Maynard. But 7empest is the highlight of Adam Jones career... fantastic riffs throughout.

[@SubStarLex]

not one catchy hook?

[@TheLarknessMonster]

Don’t you dare point that at me is pretty catchy. Only downside is there’s no MJK scream in it. Dont you dare POINT THAT AT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I kept waiting for that and it never happened. But its ok, I guess mjk cant do it anymore.

[@RC-hv1yx]

Brady Carroll How is Invincible not catchy? Shit has been stuck in my head for days.

[@cosmiccomedy7394]

I'll probably look back on this comment n think I was such a dumb fuck. But that's how I feel so far. I'm sure like every Tool album it'll grow on me and eventually blow my mind.

[@thebatman1482]

The Descending climax ("sound the dread alarm" to "stay alive") is one of Maynard's best works. The ending from 7empest, Culling Voices and Invincible are other songs in which he shines.

[@pringelsthegamefreak]

Please make more videos of you going through albums with your guitar like this, this is so cool and interesting! Love this concept. Also the music theory in all the songs too

[@michaelthomas9991]

I really like this guy! This is a cool, unique way of reviewing Tool. This young man is pretty quick and skilled at picking up on Adam Jones’s difficult style. I’ll watch more of his videos to see what else he can master. Good job man, and thank you for being cool and polite with your review.

[@lancegordon5492]

His first comment on the album was “huh, that’s a weird noise.” I don’t think we could agree more with you...

[@depracated]

Do more of this and yes incredible incredible album. It doesn't flow like 10,000 Days or Lateralus did, but it's still incredible and every piece on this album feels unique.

Yeah, exactly. It's amazing, different, but still amazing. Sometimes people need to understand different doesn't always mean bad or worse.

For a Tool fan it sure took him long enough to realise Jones is in drop D. I would've assumed that and had it dropped from the start tbh, especially since Fear Inoculum is obvs in D also. Strange.

[@timdedecker7894]

The first time i heard i didn't think it was bad at all but i was not fully convinced, i maybe compared it to much to all the classic songs but those songs are also spread over multiple albums so..., but everytime i go through the album again i keep finding it better and more interesting and everytime it is a new experience and that is crazy difficult to do as an artist so at this point i really think the songs are great and will be part of the 'classic tool songs' in a few years

I’m a tool fan and actually really enjoyed this album. It’s fantastic and different but similar all at once. 7empest is great and one of their best songs and pneumonia is a masterpiece.

[@JoeBlow_4]

Tool's newest is the hardest and softest thing to drop this decade. I can't get enough. What a great way to say goodbye. And it wasn't a "Jaws III". It was more like a wrapped up present.
