She's ready for wings for Marie... This was awesome! Thanks you guys

[@aKAOTICsquirrel]

Wings for Marie is a must

[@c.harleshodge555]

I agree. It has to be done.

[@dustinhouston7372]

No one is ready for wings for Marie

[@crowbear516]

I cry every time.

[@jakefromstatefarm1405]

A+ job for using Spotify on these. Hearing the smooth transitions done right is kinda the point on these.

[@chriswebb7822]

Audio quality is sooo much better too!

[@lottt86]

The album reaction should be done with Spotify as well.

[@CFCMahomet]

That opening song! The transition between disposition and reflection is such a treat, thank you for not pausing it !

[@johnw6137]

I think reflection is the single greatest tool track. Both musically and lyrically.

[@bromosexual420]

Some of the most beautiful lyrics ever. Pure poetry.

[@ingobordewick6480]

Agreed! I could listen to Reflection on repeat for the rest of my life and it would be a blast!

[@stephengiannone5449]

I agree

[@dainquiring1801]

absolutely agree

[@alihijazi4451]

Descending still takes the #1 spot for me, but Reflection and The Grudge are the next 2 in my ranking.

[@Spudz76]

Disposition is related to Schism in that I think it's about communication. "Mention" is a yearning request for the other to provide information (this/something/anything), and "The Weather" is the mood of openness/connection/understanding built and achieved through the sharing. "Please talk to me so I can become less cold to you."

[@PowderedToastMan420]

Please dive into Maynard's other bands. Puscifer and A Perfect Circle both have amazing discographies!

[@ingobordewick6480]

What I really love about Tool, besides the great writing and them being geniuses at their crafts is the fact that Tool has a special sound. You hear the first few notes of a song and you instantly know it's Tool.

[@eggstu]

Reflection is such a good song. I will randomly get Triad's guitar parts stuck in my head and I love it

[@joshs8685]

Yesss I know Val is gonna love this before I even watch it : ) Some of my favorite Maynard lyrics. I'm saving this 45-minute session for this evening when I can curl up on my couch with headphones and a glass of wine!

[@barte3822]

The Holy Trinity ❤ Also, check out 10,000 days/ Wings for Marie together. I'm curious to see if Val cries after listening ?? ✌️❤️

[@heyskipj]

Isn't there some track sequence to build up to Wings? Jimmy? Judith from APC?

[@nucl3arboNg]

@@heyskipj Jimmy, Judith, etc

[@zmarko]

Disposition is my favorite of these because it's so laid back, you basically just melt into your chair listening to the music and Maynard's voice. Soothing.

[@alpo6668]

Stoned?

[@Gideonite]

@@alpo6668yes 😂

[@alpo6668]

@@Gideonite only way to deeply listen to Tool

[@chriswebb7822]

Absolute wizards of the sonic landscape, just unmatched in my opinion! Really enjoyed this one y'all!

[@Lateralus11]

I ve always considerated the holy trinity like this: 1) disposition: the preparation, put your self in the right state to descend in the middle of urself, slow down; 2) Reflection: reflect on yourself, at the very middle of your body...the voice of maynard seems to come from your belly, from your chest and soul; 3) triad: the ascent to the everyday life, the come back to "reality" and the mess and chaotic life surrending us

[@Literallyjustmint]

Lots of beautiful sounds on Disposition actually come from the bass guitar. This is true for many TOOL songs.

[@Gideonite]

Justin is a legend ❤

[@Literallyjustmint]

@@Gideonite Paul too

[@undefinedvariable8085]

These are the kinds of songs you just let play through uninterrupted with authentic reactions. Then once done you reflect on your disposition throughout the triad.

[@henryherrera85]

I'm not completely sure, but I always thought the lyrics for dispositions are "mention something mention anything, mention this to me AND watch the weather change."

[@anillegibletombstone]

Not that it's definitive but to me it is clear that's the meaning. Even if there is no actual AND he does mean that. The weather changing is his/their mood. That is a common expression 'weather changes moods' (also used in a Nirvana song)

[@johncarpenter3751]

She’s gonna hate Ticks and Leeches 😂 that’s probably their heaviest song

[@Gideonite]

I think she will get the irony 😂

[@nathans84]

These 3 are near the top of my road trip playlist for sure. When your stuck on the freeway they make driving at that moment a little morey bearable.

[@da9pauly]

Reflection is a big favorite of mine!!!

[@samthompson2269]

Reflection is a masterpiece

No one makes an album like TOOL or FLOYD!

Think you could put Radiohead in their as well

[@toodrunktotastethischicken]

I really hope you guys explore Puscifer. The song that played on the intro of yours reminds me of a Puscifer song

[@SquakesMahoney]

I love that you close your eyes. Best way to listen to Tool

Triad - the engine room of the universe

[@suli542]

The perfect description as I feel my energy and testosterone shoot all the way up whenever I’m working out to Triad !

[@kazee.in.the.wonderland]

As said in the video - we need to hear the whole album in order :D Can't wait for that one :D

[@ty_the_RetoVideo_guy5543r]

I would love to see your reaction to the next and last track on this album, it is a true trip. But yeah, awesome reaction. I love going with people on their TOOL joumey

[@gorwooken9338]

Every time they said pieces, my brain was like, “I KNOW THE PIECES FIT!”.

[@urbanshamanproductions9092]

lol I had the same thought while editing 😂

[@hawks7775]

So disposition to me is essentially saying ...break the ice of conversation, communication....the weather tends to be a topic amongst adults when we are a bit lost for words or subject matter...while also being a metaphor for our own changes in life....and the moon is the reflection of the sun.....such as we all are just reflections of our upbringing and surroundings so know that we depend on others while also enjoying individual experiences....but we all need eachother for the bigger picture in many different scenarios

[@RosettaStoned462]

I don't have a favorite Tool song.. it's impossible. But if i could only listen to one song for the rest of my life, I choose Reflection.

[@Lateralus46and2]

You guys have the best Tool reactions on KZbin.. Spiral out. Keep going.

[@toolshed7652]

When this album first came out, I was going through some shit. When I first heard Refliction it changed my life really. The lyrics are so profound, and the music is like a mantra. It will always hold a special place in my heart. Great job as always guys ❤

[@TraditionalHippie]

Hooray for no stop for Reflection! My favorite song of all time, sans The Grudge. WOW 9:52 spot on for saying “a feeling of no control” cuz what follows is surrender

[@ethanburgess3475]

Their best song indeed

[@nathanielhorrigan2181]

I haven’t even watched the reaction yet. I’m about to. I just stopped in to say I love it!!!! You two are awesome!!!!

[@geraldplayle803]

Bro, that is the Samara icon on your shirt. By the way, this triple is fantastic. As a secondary note, Disposition got me through Marine Bootcamp. I would sing this during hikes.

[@scottabbe4321]

She got me hooked on old soul

[@shep4life]

This might be the most underrated tool song

[@jeroen1989]

As these songs are all from the album 10.000 days, an album dedicated to his mom who had died after years of paralysis due to a stroke, I always pictured these songs as the various stages of grief surrounding the situation of his mom. Disposition sounds like a boy needing answers from his mom, though unable to receive them.

[@jeroen1989]

Excuse me, they are from Lateralus.... there goes my theory 😂

[@jakefromstatefarm1405]

Oof

[@bradennichols3154]

It's okay man. Tool fans are quick to correct. Just keep on listening. That's all that matters

[@phildigiovanni9687]

You'll know the pieces fit.

[@WillyAffentranger-jb1oi]

It's totally new for me. I buy all cd's from tool, because i play it with my Gibson over my headthones.

[@robyhartland852]

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

Reflection resonates with Taoist poems about moodlight and moonlight. These are related to different states of consciousness as the midbrain of a practitioner is evolving from a primarily alpha and beta wave processor to a theta wave processor. "Zen-Brain Reflections" by James H. Austin MD is a real eye-opener.

[@shep4life]

Tool's mixing gets better each album

[@tidewell]

So, initially the 3 tracks were written as 1 composition (or song) at over 20+ minutes... they were later indexed down to 3 tracks for the album's release. Such as the same situation with Parabol/Parabola were initially written as 1 composition.

[@RunawayOcelot]

You are now ready for Wings for Marie young padawan... also, tons of textures and layering throughout the Puscifer catalog

[@user-vf1oj9lv3v]

Triad is tough for me to get through just on some weird vibrational level in my own brain, but I love the other two so dearly.

[@alexnewfield]

This is Justin Chancellor proving he is an amazing bass player… that intro was 1 bass guitar. Adam comes in later, but that beautiful work was Justin. How you write something like that… I have no idea…

[@ianallan3205]

I take the lyrics to Disposition as letting the time pass (Watch the weather changr) and spending time with someone (Mention this to me, mention anything) He says nothing else but I get the feeling like this is all OK with him. Reflection is just a beautiful poem

[@johnseward2934]

DRT is the kind of music that is transcendent, not only within Tool's catalogue, but music as a whole. Its a timeless masterpiece of sonic expression that encompasses so much of the human narrative of existence whether its 5000 years ago, in the present , or 5000 years in the future. In the theater of my mind, Disposition floats you out of the atmosphere where you've been laying on the ground watching the weather, then Reflection drives you through the solar system into deep space, and it becomes questionable whether its exterior reality or internal consciousness in the most primal way, and Triad is the journey through a black hole singularity of absolute raw energy that inverts back into the very beginning of all things, perhaps the moment of the birth of consciousness. Might I also suggest, the name of your band + listening to the whole album start to finish ;^D

Does TOOL inspire you two to want to make music, or encourage you to approach your music in another direction/ perspective 🤔 It seems you really absorb their Genius. Another great reaction, thanks for sharing with us 🙏

[@DarkoProductions]

Whenever life has gotten difficult the Holy Trinity has been my companion to provide me a healthy escape and let me know its all gonna be all right.

[@hallelgreenspan8565]

About Disposition’s lyrics, I always imagined Maynard saying this to his mom, who was paralysed and passed away not long after the album was released. Near the end she had nothing to do but watch the weather change and repeatedly mention the same things over and over again (as moms tend to do)… but it’s like the narrator is realising that even though it’s not much, for him it’s everything. So it’s as if he’s: saying “please just keep watching the weather and mentioning the same things to me, don’t go away”. Or maybe that’s just me overthinking

[@WillyAffentranger-jb1oi]

You sleep into nothing.

[@billpimentel-vm6cu]

Wings for Marie 1 & 2 next sadly beautiful

[@vespadoeliseu]

❤

[@MTH1217]

In Disposition I take it as how someone’s disposition or attitude can change when you mention something to them. How the “weather” changes when you mention something. I always picture it getting stormy or pissing someone off just because you mention the wrong thing.

[@bradennichols3154]

I dont wanna be down here, swimming in my ______________, so crucify the ego before it's far to _____. We will come to find, that we are all one _____. Imagine it all conceivable. To let the light touch you and let the words spill through and let them pass right through bringing out our hope and reason. Before we pine away, before we hide away. And also the moon told this dude a secret as well

[@anikablue2094]

If you could sum up the entirety of Tools work into one song, Reflection would be the one.

[@syntheticsleep]

When this album came out, I loved it but I kind of bounced off this part. I don't know why. I didn't hate it, it was just kind of "there." Then, my friend and I went and saw them live on the second half of the tour, so they had Meshuggah opening. So we went expecting a typical rock/metal show. Obviously that's not how Tool works, and I was completely blown away by the entire experience. Then they get to this part of the album and it was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Disposition and Reflection were otherworldly. The shift in vibe and tone of the entire venue was unreal. Then, while Reflection is fading out, Meshuggah's drummer and two other band members come out on stage with standing drums and they proceed to end the show with a jammed-out, insane, 4 drummer version of Triad with Maynard also playing a second guitar. It was absolute madness. In the best way possible.

[@blakejohnson6923]

I believe there is great footage of this show titled "Lateralus Tour Final Show" 2002. I recommend watching 😁

[@syntheticsleep]

@@blakejohnson6923 Man, that's a much smaller stage/setup than the show I saw. Kind of surprised since it's not only a grand finale, but a homecoming as well. I haven't watched the whole thing yet, but it's pretty good quality so far, and I'll definitely finish it because the setlist is top-tier. Just wish all these camera guys wouldn't focus so hard on trying to see the band in darkness when there's amazing shit going on all over the place....

[@toolshed7652]

If you do Wings and 10,000 Days, which I know you will eventually, maybe listen to Jimmy first. 😉

[@mendronesg]

I think that Maynard was pissed off on Disposition, but tried to keep it cool to match the song feel. "Mention this to me, and watch the weather change." 😡

[@phildigiovanni9687]

Lyrics are wrong at the end reflection. And let them pass right through.
