My First Experience w Tool | Triad | Disposition | Reflection (First Time Reaction!!)

Such BS! He may like the music but it’s a huge disservice to the band to put out videos in mono sound! Why should Tool be so dynamic and put out amazing immersive music and this jughead changes the output to boring mono!?! To be honest you guys that support the channel and keep throwing out the 👍 can’t call yourself Tool fans.

[@thomperkins]

@@atlarsenal lighten up, Francis! He’s bringing awareness to people who haven’t been privy to the band. He flat out says that he will have to listen to the music in his 4Runner. As for calling people fans or not, you miss the point of this band. Relax. Smoke a bowl. Put on some Tool. And chill.

For the record… LATERALUS is a front to back album. There is no skipping songs. Everything bleeds into everything. Banger album.

[@snarkyguy2657]

It's a great front to back album, but an even better Fibonacci album, if you go with that track reordering. :)

[@IrisAsuras]

It's so good.

[@ZVvereVvolf]

Still my favorite album of theirs today. The order is different on the vinyl because of song length. That's where this "Holy Trinity" "Holy Grail" "Holy Trilogy" came from. In my digital library I shuffle TOOL quite a bit and so the only thing I messed with... I took Parabol and Parabola and blended them in Logic as one track. I hate when I shuffle and those two don't play together. Otherwise... You put TOOL on shuffle and any order is ok with me. Sure, the older stuff isn't as cohesive as everything from Aenima on... but it's nice to get back to that raw stuff right in the middle of everything else.

The transition from Disposition to Reflection is one of the GOATs. You have to actually pop the CD in and let one song flow into the other (or have a file that combines them). If you chop it up into individual songs you lose the magic of that transition. Lots of fans tell reactors to listen to all three at once because they're basically one long song, but most of the time people pause right at the transitions anyway and lose the magic because they still don't really get the album experience and are still approaching music with the song being the only unit of consumption. Listen to the whole thing in one go!

[@ZVvereVvolf]

You're correct.

[@Alex_G_M]

I’d love to get Lateralus on vinyl. To stick to your point, I’m pretty sure they print these three songs as one on vinyl, or rather without the grooves that usually split tracks.

[@ncommerce]

"at this point, that album cover makes total sense" And with that, you're one of us.

[@bradfordparish7482]

Reflection imo is the quintessential Tool song. It encapsulates everything that makes Tool outstanding. I echo those that said it should be listened to while reading the lyrics….it’s so profound!

[@LanceThompsonKssooner]

Adam never over does the guitar or even the solos. It's always just the right amount and his tones are haunting.

[@yosshy4774]

Adam is a masterful painter, some traces here, some traces there, and then he hits you with solos like Reflection, Parabola, Lateralus, Descending... That is why Adam Jones and David Gilmour are my favorite guitar players.

[@tylerblindt9279]

I feel like Adam Jones really enjoys the negative aspect of a solo. It's not just what he's doing as much as what he's not doing. It's a unique minimalist style

[@LanceThompsonKssooner]

@tyler blindt 💯 it's more about atmosphere or creating a feeling

[@Autumn9]

For REFLECTION, You must READ THE LYRICS either before, during or after listening to the song. The lyrics are very powerful. The message in the lyrics regarding our ego and hope for mankind hits me in all the troubling areas of my mind. If this track doesn't make you think about your relationship to everything around us, then I don't know what else to tell you. Another warning track, just like in the lyrics for Descending.

This is the only reaction channel I have heard react to any of the trilogy. You did all three in one video. Excellent! Reflection is one of the best underrated Tool songs. Most people skip it because of the slow, long intro

[@PongGod]

Reflection is truly magical. It's one that you can really get lost in. Even though I'm not a big lyrics guy (I'm usually here for the music), following along with the lyrics on this one really does take it to another level. Truly a masterpiece.

[@forgetaboutit1069]

There are so many Tool songs that are my “favorite”; however, saying that, Reflection is definitely on my Mount Rushmore of Tool songs

[@CFCMahomet]

The vocals on Reflection showed us that Maynard wasn’t willing to just be a vocalist or the lead singer, but a true artist. The delivery of the lyrics, the phrasing is not only brilliant but quite difficult.

[@ZVvereVvolf]

He's an instrument in all of his projects. Sometimes you look past the fact that he's singing words. It's another instrument that you're listening to and can be perceived as an instrumental part rather than a lyrical part. But then... there's the lyrical aspect of it too which he's a complete master at.

[@CFCMahomet]

@@ZVvereVvolf agreed!

[@DGog224]

This time period was Maynard’s peak vocally. Following Lateralus with Mer De Noms and Thirteenth Step, his vocals were god tier.

[@daemon4202]

the first time i heard this album was on a girl i was dating at the time's parent's hifi audio system and this cd was one of the last SACD releases done... so it packs waaaaaaaay more information for hifi than you can hear on ordinary speakers and headphones. hearing reflections positional audio in true 5.1 was breathtaking. The drops were dropping around the room like rain and you get so immersed that your body just starts pulling in the directions of the drops and before you know it you're swaying perfectly to a timing that your mind can barely wrap around and .. bam.. tool :D

[@claytondennis8034]

Tool's tracking (is that the term?) Of sound position is right up there with Pink Floyd. Close your eyes and let the music paint a picture in your mind!

[@brandonhinrichs4393]

This entire album is a f*cking masterpiece. I remember when this album came out I was already all in on Tool but their habit of raising the bar over and over for 30 years is unmatched

[@ReflectionTool637]

I can completely understand how a person might not like Adam's choice for "overall" guitar tone. But, to me, it is like that damn guitar of his is speaking to each and every one of us listening to the track. And then, you add in Justin's bass arrangement and the incredibly complex, yet musical drum arrangement and ......... FUCK ...... damn glad to be alive in the time of Tool.

[@cherylp5027]

I LOVE the whole Reflection build. It’s so trancelike in the beginning. DC is a drum machine. He plays the same rhythm for most of it…never misses a beat. Was something to behold live. When he sings “and you will come to find…that we are all ONE mind, capable of ALL that’s…imagined and ALL conceivable” , well i can’t say what happens to me…

[@williamray4512]

I bought this when I was about 12 years old and listened to Rosetta Stone repeatedly

[@dedicatedtomars3140]

Gotta listen to them all without stopping and feel the transitions actually hit. Honestly the entire album of Lateralus is composed in this way. But like disposition and reflection that bouncing ball sound at the end is the most perfect Segway to harmonize both tracks. It’s literally magical.

[@horrorqueen-ze9tm]

As an avid Tool ...no.... * Insert rephrase here* Avid Maynard fan, (and newly Polo fan...you kick ass good sir!) I must say that I am fucking stoked to be able to witness your journey through the greatness that is Maynard James Keenan. I have come to learn that no matter how many times you listen to a tool song or one from A Perfect Circle, or even Puscifer they will always speak to you differently in different parts of your life. I can't remember right off the top of my head if you've reacted to this one yet, but if you haven't might I suggest "Passenger" by Deftones ft. Maynard. Hands down one of my favorite songs of all time. Keep up the good work 😁

[@NRG2]

I hope he listens to some Puscifer eventually. Let the Tool soak in for a good while though. I know i didnt “get” puscifer on their first album. I was like “whats this weird stuff my mom listens to?” But now i feel THEY MAKE THE GREATEST MUSIC EVER 🤣👍

[@IocaIhost]

Here’s what will happen as you continue throughout your Tool journey - as you’ve now come to appreciate their music outside of the “hard rock/metal” aspect (as seen in the way you enjoyed Disposition and Reflection) you’ll later come to not only find that the slow buildups don’t bother you but that you actually truly enjoy them. The farther down the Tool rabbit hole you go, the less it becomes about, “what do I want to hear in this song right now/this is too slow, come on, hurry up” and it becomes more of a passive, “let’s sit back and see what journey they take me on today.” If Disposition or Reflection were your first introduction to Tool, you’d likely have been far more resilient towards discovering more of their music - as opposed to how you’ve now come to appreciate that each song for Tool is like a canvas they’re painting. In that same light, you’ll soon come to appreciate the slow parts and their integral place in the artwork. Enjoy your journey, I’m jealous 🎉

[@ginatrapp9676]

[@tidewell]

The meditational masterpiece. Not sure if its been mentioned before, but the way Tool writes their songs is the music comes first as an instrumental and then Maynard will react to the music to write his lyrics and melodies. Initially the band wrote all 3 tracks (Disposition/Reflection/Triad) as one piece of music/song. "Parabol/Parabola" was also another case on the Lateralus album that was initially one piece of music, but then later indexed into individual tracks for the release.

[@jenmiller9104]

Thank you so much for experiencing the Triad for us. Reflection saved my life during a very dark moment. The lyrics ‘crucify the ego before it’s far too late’ are now tattooed on my forearm as a constant reminder to pull myself up rather than wallow in self pity. Cheers.

Thank you Polo and God bless. Reflections is about recognizing and dealing with depression. Beautiful art! Reading the lyrics is a must.

[@shannontreiber1070]

Tool fans love when you love the stuff we do-but they also tend to love honesty. Keep that part up!!

[@grntbggr126]

Reflection is Tool's GOAT. Prove me wrong!

[@timhanna5363]

This has been my favorite reaction thus far... you are hitting so many nails on the head on regards to them mastering their instruments, their goosebump inducing sounds, pushing Maynards vocals to the background and those TRIBAL (as you call them Egyptian) vibes. Feeling the music first will make revisiting it again so much more special. I echo other comments in saying you need to see them live... its quite an experience. They should be going on tour at the end of year! Keep your eyes peeled!

[@JL-1123]

The correct answer for the top two Tool songs is 1. Reflection, 2. Descending. You nailed it.

[@christalkelley6382]

I love your reactions to tool and to see the love affair roll out. Rock on!

[@Fred-uf7bl]

Your tangents are great, please don't apologize for them.

[@FraterIgniUmbra-ci7gv]

Yep.... People say their favorite songs are things like lateralis, or sober, or whatever, but reflection has got to be their greatest masterpiece of all time. I have a friend that teaches people in a qabalistic school and this is the song that he uses to describe initiation of the subconsciousness to students. It's a fantastic song.

[@roneldridge9281]

I am glad you got the feel of this right away. At my first listen almost 20 years ago I didn't get it. However, the more I listened to it I understood that (to me) they were trying to open up your mind using a three pronged attack. I get past present and future vibes along with elemental aspects of wind, space and then fire/earth. Like our spiritual journey. The holy trinity is the equivalent to taking audioshrooms and living that existential journey.

[@SomeGuy-mu9mt]

This album is all killer and no filler. A genuine fucking masterpiece.

[@NickyD-99]

"Danney hasn't even come in yet, but he's been there the whole time." Good one.

[@13lueBerryBluntz]

YESSSSS. We say the Holy Trinity because all of the tracks play into each other and they all shares themes from each other musically. Reflection is my favorite Tool song of all time, it's a heavyweight for sure. Thanks for finally doing these!

[@soth1sol]

holy trinity is an alKHEMical metaphor, used throughout mjk's career "square the circle", "coincidentia oppositorum", biLATERALIZation... A PERFECT/CIRCLE/BLUE/HEAVEN/WATER/QUESTION +TOOL/SQUARE/RED/EARTH/LAND/AUTHORITY =PUSCIFER/TRIANGLE/THEGREATMIDDLEFLAME (*we see this (alkhemical wedding) at end of "schism") lead/disharmy (ego/44&2) into gold/harmony (46&2)

[@Alexanderaguilar]

One of the best feeling as a TOOL fan for me at least, is each time I get new slightly better headphones, revisit all the TOOL songs I love, cause I always discover little sounds and details I missed before, so it is like discovering the song for the first time all over again... Best thing in the world as a TOOL fan .. Polo you should look on the artwork of the albums as well, is usually and amazing experience since they include such creative and interactive things, my favorite is the 10,000 days artwork...

[@tomloeper8933]

I was so fortunate to see the Holy Trinity played live. It was in in Charlotte on their Lateralus tour in 2001. Fantomas was opening for them and Dave Lombardo played the extra percussion parts of Triad with Tool. (If I remember correctly there was a brief intermission before Triad for setup) And the extra percussion parts is why the complete trinity doesn't get played much. They sometimes play Disposition and Reflection together, but typically not Triad.

[@moioonoppe]

Really appreciate you had the patience to listen all of them and good organic reactions 👌Some day take some time off for yourself, lay down on a bed or somewhere nice, put the phones on and listen all of them as a one sequence from the album or spotify example. It is one big trip to your inner space, atleast for me. Tool has that something that wakes up something ancient in your being or dna or how ever you wanna call it. Its more like intuitive than logical understanding that takes place in you when listening to them, dont need even words to kinda understand that universal language and cant put in a words that is happening via sound.

[@MrPigFister201]

I saw this live in Kansas City MO back when they toured for this album…I’ve still not recovered from seeing it in person…it’s tied with when I saw Pnuema live.

[@snootylickerp194]

Saw them perform Triad live twice. It’s like hockey, you have to see it live to appreciate it. The drummer from the opening band joins Danny with percussion. It’s incredible.

[@jamielunsford1]

Another amazing reaction, Polo! Love, love, love disposition/reflection/triad!

[@moosehose]

Wish I had seen the Lateralus tour, I had to work, I was a single mom, couldn't get tickets. It's my favorite album, it literally saved my life more than once. Every fucking song is a gem.

[@SavageDawgJoshua]

I've listened to this song so much that I'm air drumming it while I listen with you.... And still hearing it for the first time with you.

[@Bullet44]

21:32 we've all been there, bro. Every 'new' TooL song becomes your favorite even if you re-listen to some of their songs that you've already heard.
