How does it even get better than this?! TOOL "Descending" | REACTION

[@jonfernandez4271]

People ask me "What's your favorite Tool song?" and I in turn ask "What day is it?" They say "Tuesday" and I say "The Grudge" but it's all bravado built upon a bed of lies. My favorite Tool song is the last one I heard because it's still bouncing around in my soul. Tool stands alone.

[@jeffhelton3364]

I cannot lie, I will wake up in the middle of the night singing the last Tool song in my head

[@Randomnpcpage]

I couldn't have said it any better❤

[@acezhi5259]

Perfect for a sit and melt in the sauna in the evening after a shitty day at work. The whole Fear Inoculum experience works.

[@mrcatsuit]

Every sound is critical to the build

[@da9pauly]

Tool’s anthem a call to arms to save us…

[@thegoatchild3545]

This is THE gem of Fear Inoculum. Simply incredible. And yes, Maynard is unparalleled as a lyricist.

[@davidhart6291]

Just a frickin masterpiece. An auditory, philosophical, and spiritual journey.

[@zaclovesschool2273]

ngl i cried hard to this when I heard it live

[@carlakane3313]

The intro and outro wave sounds were recorded at Danny's house in Malibu.

[@JB-423]

keep an eye out for the alt version of this song. they've been playing it live every couple weeks

[@hunterfitch5951]

"not many Tool songs with solos" 7empest reporting for duty 🤣

[@EmpReacts]

Oh boy...... 😂

[@johnfarley4492]

You should see this shit live.

[@tidewell]

When you asked how many Tool songs have solos put a sinister smile on my face... awaits '7empest' 🎸😈

[@daviddidder3781]

10,000 days is their best work. They have so many elite songs!!! “Lost Keys” and “Rosetta Stoned” are meant to go together and is up there with Descending!

[@BM-tr1bq]

TOOL is so effing good. There’s no other way to say it. Every instrument (and the man who plays it) is next level, and Maynard’s lyrics are from another dimension. I agree with you. It’s not fair that all 4 of these musical geniuses are in one band. But I’m glad they are, because I love every masterpiece they create, and there are many.

[@scottspears9347]

And this is why Tool is my favorite band

[@jeffhelton3364]

Seen this live 3x and always crushes me at the gong 🤘😵🤘

[@paultullo3275]

Every. Damn. Time. Goosebumps. I feel my soul lifting me up at the gong hit. 😍

[@yotaman2112]

Cool. I’m the first responder!! Haven’t seen your reaction, but I already know that it blew your mind. It’s one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES!!

[@claytonbearden7793]

​@@Literallyjustmint😂

[@bubbasboyngirl]

Straight up wizards of sonics and lyrics.

[@zaneanderson7810]

Hell yeah, love he bass tone and guitar solos in this one

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

The video in the CD case (on a 7" screen), called Recusant Ad Infinitum, plays twice over, for a total of 13:37, the exact length of Descending. So you see it once with vocals and another time with only music.

[@LanceThompsonKssooner]

Stir us from our wanton slumber is the theme for at least the last 8 years. Happy Super Tuesday!

[@jaydawg-we6yc]

You have yet to go down the TOOL journey, go back 30 years ago and listen to how they have evolved, they are one of a kind, a rock orchestra, kinda like a new Pink Floyd, you have to read the lyrics and listen many times, otherwise you miss out

[@woebringer7884]

1000 zillion%

[@RosettaStoned462]

I'm so thankful for Tool. I fucking love music, but Tool is the only band that give me a feeling no other can.

[@stephenlackey5852]

Fear Inoculum, invincible, Descending, and Tempest. 4 examples of god-tier composition on one album🥺 I still maintain that musicologists will one day study TθθL as its own sub-genre of progressive metal.

[@Ronhickmott]

Ahh, I'm surprised Culling Voices wasn't included, my opinion it absolutely deserves to be there.

[@9milli320]

Love the hair growth brotha! Let it go

[@robertjones4361]

Masterpiece of a song from a masterpiece of an album from one of the greatest bands of the generation...TooL is forever

[@ToolFool987]

The first reaction I've watched with my new surround sound system. What a great song. It's one of my favorites on this cd. Danny really shredded it on this one.

[@horoldo77]

Such a great song. The guitar is just so good, can't really put it into words.

[@ubiquinoxxrosiles2766]

I just really would like to hope that there'd be an (ascending) on the new album . But that's just cuz I LOVE this song

[@christopherwelsh7008]

You are the first one I've heard to speculate about an "Ascending" track! Good Call! That would be soooo TOOL. We can only hope.

[@jakefromstatefarm1405]

Yyyeeeeeeessss, a beautiful piece of music, as with this whole album. Great reaction, as usual 🤘🌀

[@SharilynBratton]

Oh yeah, my fave!! I love to lie in bed in the dark late at night listening to this with my headphones or earbuds, I lose all sense of time while this song takes me clear across the universe, ha.

[@EmpReacts]

I definitely feel that! I actually did the blindfold and listen back while this was uploading! Unreal!

[@lonewanderer2287]

Def my current fave. It’s just so complete.

[@qostka]

Culling Voices can be, hmmm, comfortable to listen :)

[@williamweiss6128]

Whole thing is pretty amazing, soundwise. At their concert it was the sound and visuals I was most impressed with.

[@Randomnpcpage]

after 45 years on this planet I have yet to find a better band 🤷 in every aspect. G.O.A.T.🤘

[@JasonTurner-uk9rk]

“ where does this journey take us next?”…. If done properly to a bag of mushrooms and 4 or 5 hours of tool 😂

[@ryanpanatas0860]

Did we just become best friends? I've been waiting for someone to do a reaction to Fear Inoculum on mush.

[@JasonTurner-uk9rk]

Lol…. I didn’t do a reaction but I did do a heroic dose of boomer’s Saturday and listens to 5 hours of tool lol… does that count?

[@2727ludwigs]

Got to do invincible as well

[@wildwest1306]

Absolute masterpiece. Full stop.

[@eyeonyou1554]

The line you said you liked, falling isn’t flying, Menard has a sense of humor, that line came from Woody, talking to buzz light year !

[@EmpReacts]

I didn't even think to put two-and-two together.....lol That is AWESOME!

[@greenmtngirl4883]

I think the reference to midnight is the doomsday clock. IDK

[@streetrider1977]

What Tool song is my favorite? Whichever one was the last one I heard! My next favorite will be the one I'm going to hear!

[@hunterfitch5951]

Here for it! As for what this song is 'about' my own interpretation is our DESCENDING political environment and the end to our Great Experiment.

[@robertlamey7612]

Nothing beats the Anema

[@stevenhare927]

Yes yes yes

[@ted1976hailspiralout]

🤘🏻🌀

[@georgeheadman3024]

I’n torn between this song and 7empest as to which is the best song on the album.

[@marsthemeek2505]

Same. Both are beautiful pieces of music, masterfully composed

[@Literallyjustmint]

Descending over 7empest 3 out of 5 times

[@jacobvarner9022]

7empest won a Grammy. I'm sure any of their songs are worthy though

[@randomsasquatchwithwifi4090]

I like to see this one as humanity causing climate change and doing nothing about it, due to our lack of action, causing our own downfall.

[@johnnyb6067]

The grown up version of Aenima.

[@billpimentel-vm6cu]

Im asked what’s my favorite Tool song I reply Yes

[@TheColemark]

Bro when you hear pushit Salvia your mind will be blown

[@Victor_E_Phillips]

"Salvia" would blow your mind for different reasons .. "Salival" is an often overlooked piece of Tool's discography that should not be missed tho.

[@jimmorris67]

You are now ready for TZempest longer but time is irrelevant

[@heyskipj]

"Solos", yeah. It may be an unpopular opinion but I think Maynard was less into this one. Or to better put it, Adam and Danny really stepped up their game.

[@betweentheair]

Or Maynard added what the song needed… nothing more, nothing less.

[@adamflorian3119]

if you like the slower Maynard you need to get into A Perfect Circle and Pusicfer

[@EmpReacts]

We will be diving into them both extensively after we wrap up this album and the EPs! :)

[@waynesmith4432]

Please don’t leave out Chocolate Chip Trip.

[@waynesmith4432]

Sorry didn’t wait till the end😊

[@prestonsill674]

If you can predict what happens next then you aren’t listening to Tool 🤷🏼

[@betweentheair]

How? It doesn’t

[@patrickfuller2423]

look man, at some point you need to stop trying to predict where tool is going next. it's a fruitless endeavor. love your stuff though.

[@nataliequintin9378]
