Mr. Jones stepped out front and KILLED it on 7empest. He is known as a very subtle, disciplined guitarist who doesn't show off, isn't too busy shredding and doing the usual pompous guitarist nonsense. This is true talent. Absolutely beautiful musicianship here.

[@PNT-Pneuma]

Beautifully said

[@PaulGuy]

One of the only guitar "solos" I remember hearing in a Tool song, and the few times it happens, it fits so perfectly into the musical narrative. It's the next obvious step in the song.

[@jonathanradcliff6192]

7empest is definitely Jones' masterpiece. His Mona Lisa.

[@XxflamingarrowxX]

believe i read somewhere he has been writing this since 10,000 days, perfecting it along the way. Maynard even stepped back lyrically to showcase the songs instrumental. My favourite song on the album.

[@boddaboom77]

​@XxflamingarrowxX yeah he has had a bunch of riffs (the ones heard here and a couple other places on the album) created since the 90s. When gameplanning for FI Danny said he had revisited some of them and finally thought of a way to work some of Adam's riffs in to work with the 7 time of the song. Just incredible learning how some of their music is made.

[@dukeoholik]

Just do the whole album. Spend a day or two and do the whole album in order. We will watch the whole thing

I only expected 13 years worth, so this was a pleasant surprise!

[@w_stew8912]

25 years. Main riff was written when they were writing Ænima. Holy shit. Ænima is 25 years old.

[@marcc6259]

Don't forget about Opiate, some of these riffs date back to that first EP from 1992. Yes, 29 years ago! Still a great album.

[@eatower2]

Me and my two music buddies had the whole house rigged for music and after a night of old albums, Fear Innoculom dropped at midnight. I think by the time we got to 7empest I was out of breath and almost to tears on the kitchen floor. I had never felt music the way I did this song when it first played. Few moments have actually made me cry, but when Adam hit the peak of that solo I knew that I was hearing my favorite piece of music of all time and busted out a few tears of pure happiness. Gummies may have been involved, Awwwwwright!

Your ears don’t deceive you. The audio engineering and mastering is A+. It is on another level. Wish more was recorded with this kind of care and detail. Bob Ludwig and Joe Barresi did an amazing job.

[@13lueBerryBluntz]

7empest is like every tool track rolled into one. The earlier more "forward sounding" stuff is a direct homage to the album Undertow. It sounds a lot like "The Flood" from that album. This is easily one of the strongest Tool tracks of all time.

[@jethrotool4828]

Greatest track of all time

[@AlexG-ku3dq]

It's just Flood...not "The Flood"...sorry for being anal...

[@AlexG-ku3dq]

Flood is probably the very definition of musical expression...

[@Rancid_Sanity]

You nailed it with this comment

[@diegosolis9681]

When this album came out I was at my room getting ready for class. We always had quices at the beginning of class, at the end of semester they amount to a good part of the grade percentaje. Anyway, I was about to close the browser when this notification pops up that says: "Tool - Fear Inoculum now available", aaaand I lost my shit! I was like: "Whaat? Was it today? Fuck it all!" I sat down, opened KZbin and played the whole goddamn album one song after the other. It was a trip to say the least! Then the album ended and I was like 30-40 minutes late to class! I hauled ass to get there, I knew I had missed the quiz, but didn't care, I just heard Tool's newest music, I was thrilled! Then at the end of the class the teacher was like: "Oh I forgot to have the quiz, so let's do It" The universe was with me that day. That's the power of Tool.

[@jtinners4317]

When this album came out, the excitement level was off the scale. But I when I first heard it, I was left a little confused, like I didn’t know how I felt about it. Forward wind to now, many, many plays later and I am convinced it is not only their greatest album but it’s also one of the very best albums of all time. 7empest is without doubt the crowning achievement in this album. It is utterly, mind bogglingly brilliant and just continues to blow my mind with every listen

[@chuckiechuck909]

It was weird that it didn't just blow me away straight out the gate. But, the more I listened the more I uncovered the mastery of the album as a whole & the songs individually. Truly an astonishing piece of work.

[@RCAvhstape]

It definitely gets better as it ages. The more I listen to it the more I like it.

[@vardamir0397]

@@RCAvhstape there's actually a rather interesting phenomenon tied to survival and psychology that explains why more and more listens of a song makes the track grow on us or get worst if our opinion of it is bad. I can't recall the damn psychology term for it, but I've seen studies about that in university. Interestingly, our brains brush aside the familiar aspects to delve deeper and deeper. It's akin to mapping out a series of sounds, just like you decode the lyrics with your knowledge of language :) Music is a rather odd human phenomenon. And Tool is just, well, masterful at communication on that very deep level of understanding. It syncs with you, resonates with you. The melody talks to the mind in ways language can't decode. I've always been fascinated by tool because of that.

[@allenthomas4776]

This album saved my soul. My wife had been in a horrific accident and was a year into recovering. My son was a mess as a result. Having always been a TOOL fan it lifted me up and pushed me through!!

I listen to Pneuma every morning with my 2 year old son. He's obsessed with the "Vic Firth live Pneuma" video. He sits with me in bed and watches the entire video from start to finish, with running commentary about the symbals and microphone. He even picks out Maynard walking past in the background and catching his breath behind Danny at the end and excitedly says "Maynard!". Raising him right. 😉

This song makes me cry, not because of the content of the song or even the melody or rhythms or anything, but the fact that it's the last Tool song on the new album after such a long and arduous road to get here.

[@vardamir0397]

I just turned 28, passed my own 10 000 days on this earth, and I am grateful I got to see two tool albums released in this short time that had me hooked. I started to listen to them at 15, with my uncle introducing them to me and then some of the songs like Schism and Vicarious in guitar hero games :) 7empest is an instant favorite, and has to be one of the best songs produced in this era. Not a single second of that whole 15 minutes is wasted, each listen makes me realize that we stand on the shoulders of giants. Humbling...anyway, sorry for the rant.

[@rsbdotexe]

Fun fact: tool records most of their stuff in 1 take. They master their songs after writing them, then head to the studio. They also don't play to a metronome live or in studio, which is why some parts that are the same might be slightly faster or slower if you put them next to each other.

I listened to this album on its midnight release, I wasn't stoned or on anything I just lay in my bed with my eyes closed with a good pair of headphones.

[@Demention94]

Same was blown away by descending and this one..

[@Agostoic]

Same experience hearing Lateralus back in the day.

[@pup_harris2934]

Did the exact same thing

[@chrislilly656]

Same dude

[@bmwrules1464]

I absolutely LOVE it when music grabs your ears and introduces your nose to the top of your desk,

[@KarpyCarpe]

A lot of your faces in this were just pure gold, I love it! Great job Geebz. 🤘🏼

[@vanilla_milkshake]

welcome back! I really hope you get to some Sigur Ros, and I know I've been saying this for a while but just in case... start with either "Svefn g englar" or "untitled #8" Aloha!🤙

[@brookeellenfreeman7699]

Good call!!

[@petejung3122]

Defenitly untitlef#8

[@mikegalifos7145]

The one constant in the second half of this song is that driving bass riff. And the texture that Adam has with his guitar is great.

[@stuartadams3127]

I hope I get to see TOOL live again

[@InfliiKted]

Me too, easily the best sounding concert I’d been to, even though it was outside and I’ve been to a lot of gigs lol. When it finished I was literally gobsmacked, it was like I just came out of a trip. My friends were all like what the fuck did we just witness. It was insane, words cannot describe

[@chrislilly656]

You and me and a multitude of others dude.

[@kevincullen3086]

7empest gives me straight up ‘tubular bells’ vibes!!!

[@WitzyZed]

Definitely! Got the same sort of feeling for the composition on 'The Witness'

[@brentninedorf6617]

I can see that.

[@frankydominguez6581]

Adam just stepped up to a new level in this album I love it.

[@michaelnelson2955]

Love the review! Maximum riffage, and it’s in 3 groupings of 7, my fav off the album...may I suggest Invincible or The Grudge next!!

[@airoe23]

Love listening to your content. This is one of my absolute favorites.

[@gamermom424]

Yesss! Awwwright!! More Tool, thanks Geebz ❤️❤️❤️ It’s obvious how much the band has grown and mastered their craft over the years. Genius!

[@BoxFailure]

Any of the new Chevelle album would be awesome if you can react to it!!!

[@226butters226]

Yes! Especially Gravity Heals, So Long Mother Earth, Remember When, Ghost and Razor.. ok all of them

[@That_Metal_Dude]

Preach...

[@geoffreybonham3802]

This is the song that hooked me on Tool. It’s been a wild ride since. Only sorry it took me this long

[@RDB93]

Thank you Geebz... I’m 6 days clean and sober and this channel is helping me push through it. My dreams have been so intense and it’s nice to be able to wake up and throw on some of your videos; not just to distract myself, but to expand my mind and connect with you on a therapeutic level. Thanks again, brother 🤙🏼❤️

[@bbailey7740]

You got this! Keep up the great work

[@bbailey7740]

Listen to the album glow by countless skies...epic and beautiful

[@RDB93]

@@bbailey7740 Thank you, brother. That means a lot.. I’m doing my best! I’ll definitely have to check them out! Cheers mate 😊

[@leftistLizard92]

I think your reaction channel has been the most enlightening and insightful ever. I have actually really enjoyed revisiting these songs with your commentary.

[@tesina21]

Love how you occasionally refer to sections of the song as "movements" as though it's an orchestral arrangement.

[@marclondon5638]

Love it. Great vid as usual! Please do Invincible, off of this album. It's a great ode to all of us aging warriors.

[@TheTotallySaneDane]

Just heard your comment about the mids of bass playing, and I want to cry. Thank you for the appreciation.

[@TheTrippySoul]

I'm telling you Korn - Did my Time is a crisping bassy song, you'd LOVE it!

[@ted1976hailspiralout]

Everytime I listen to this song, I Goober more and more. Adam, Justin, & Danny are fricking unbelievable on this track, a Masterpiece!!!

[@PowderedToastMan420]

This album is amazing! Keep them coming Geebz.

[@Joker3515]

I could never stand the sun being in my eyes like that 🤣😅 but I am from Seattle so I'm not used to it

[@uncle_zlivo]

As a non musician, Adam sometimes reminds me of David Gilmour (not comparing the two) in his way of prioritizing the mood and sound of the song when doing solos... some other lead guitarists just go bananas when it's their time to shine.

[@Agostoic]

Tasteful might be the word you're looking for.
