This song has one of my favorite lyric sections of all time. "Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position Such a heavy burden now to be the One Born to bear and read to all The details of our ending To write it down for all the world to see But I forgot my pen Shit the bed again Typical" Gets me every time. So relatable.

Yep yep. I very much enjoy your brake downs. For as many TOOL reactors as there are....and I enjoy watching anyone experiencing TOOL for the first time, your educated reactions are super cool old guy. Thats coming from another almost as old as you guy 😅 I asked that you take a listen to 10,000 days and Wings For Marie before, and suggested that you look into the songs origins first, and I am sure you will do a reaction to them, as I have no doubt you have been bombarded with this request. I respect that you don’t do the lyrical videos, and just take Maynard almost as another instrument, but please....if and when you do the songs I mentioned please do it with the lyrics, his voice is so soft it almost gets lost in the instruments...more so than it does in most of their music. Hope you are doing well. Thanks.

[@jacqf3583]

the build up and drop for "overwhelmed as one would be" has to be one of my fav moments in music ever.

[@fcon2123]

It holds so much meaning from a psychological and audial sense. This guy calls it the most "traditional" part musically. And that is the point - it is a harmonic release from the fairly disjointed rhythms of the song. The duality is it fits the story of the song too - that harmony is the moment of clarity the man Maynard speaks as experiences. It's his epiphany that he fucked up royally by forgetting what they said, and he probably doomed humanity because of it.

[@brandonthesteele]

@@fcon2123 there's a major farcical aspect to the "dooming humanity" thing, which is one of my favorite parts of the song. The character that was "abducted" was heavily implied to be on drugs, and to be kind of a burnout as well. Even if he was in fact given all this information, no one would believe him anyway. He'd be just another freak talking about the end of the world, and this incredulous story to tell about aliens. That's hilarious to me, especially in contrast to "you are the chosen one" and "such a heavy burden".

I’ve spent the last few months learning every bass track... it’s the most fun I’ve had playing bass since I learned Pearl Jam’s “Vs.” back in 1994. Full stop; top 10 bass players. He’s so deep in the pocket he’s stealing your graddaddys pocket change.

[@Trevor_Shepherd]

I think the secret weapon is all of them. Danny is a god, Justin is incredible, Adam is technically gifted, and you have maynard, one of the best metal singers ever

@@Trevor_Shepherd Agree 100% but Justin took them to the next level. Reading MJK’s biography and he says as much in it. Loved his work with Peach beforehand.

It’s definitely not a “casual listening” album, but now that I know the songs better and can isolate them as their own entities, if that makes sense, it’s easier to dig into. I guess what I’m saying is I get it, but after some time I got really into it.

As a huge Toolhead, I actually like the focus on pure musicianship and engineering. Other reaction videos focus on lyrics. I like that this is different.

[@paulweisgerber7654]

@@awakenedtarot7306 Yes, but the lyrics are an integral part of any Tool song, more so than any other band that I know of. It’s more than just singing a song, it’s more than telling a story, it’s more than playing his voice like an instrument, it’s more than setting a mood... It’s all of the above and just as important as Adam’s guitar parts, Justin’s incredible bass, and Danny’s inhuman polyrhythmic abilities and use of odd time signatures. Take any one of those things out, including the lyrics, and it’s like a friend’s personality changing. Sure it’s your friend, but he’s just not the same.

[@awakenedtarot7306]

@@paulweisgerber7654 I disagree. The voice, inflection, emotion, Maynard's singing is integral, but knowing every word he speaks is not. Obviously, the band feels the exact same way since they've declined to include lyrics in any of their album packaging, which they meticulously craft, until Fear Inoculum. If anything this "personality change" you speak of occurs when you force a completely different part of your brain to activate when you follow along with a lyrics sheet. Since tool very consciously chose not to include lyrics with their album packaging, despite the fact that most artists did in the 90s and 2000s, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the way Old Composer listens is more in line with what the band actually intended.

The skit is about someone who entered a doctors office and refused to tell the nurse what was wrong. The doctor comes in and convinces the protagonist to tell him and that's where this song starts, with him saying ALRIGHTY THEN. Do your self a favor and read the lyrics. They are really brilliant how they set the chaotic nature of a severe hallucinogenic trip and being abducted by aliens. There are a ton of cool references about Charley Brown, The Grateful Dead, the X Files, the Matrix, etc. etc. so please read the lyrics without the song to get every line, then re-read them while the song plays to ride that wave of a trip about being the chosen one to save humanity but not being able to remember that message. enjoy.

this is amazing dude thanks for sharing your knowledge, im 25 and have been listening to tool since i was young, you break it all down so well and give me a new outlook on the musick as a whole. Keep it up man you got my sub for sure.

[@crustychunkss]

REALLY ENJOYED UR VIDEO DUDE I looooove this song and hearing and watching you enjoy it was phenomenal and an experience of its own right. Love hearing your professional and experienced input as well as the knowledge you have of the band. subscribed!

[@herculesus8877]

You sir are the best Tool reactor out there. It might have been a long song and long video for you, but honestly I would happily listen to you for an hour more. Your breakdown is so technical and as an amateur musician I'm learning so much from you. Thank you Mr Decomposer, big love from Australia. For something less popular try Pushit (live Salival version) or maybe H, Jimmy, The Patient or Flood. Peace out bro don't ever change.

[@KeyOfGeebz]

Wow, thank you Seb! 🤙🤙

[@andrewwolfe990]

The ending of Parabola by Tool always sounded influenced by Roundabout to me personally. Should definitely check out Parabol/Parabola!!!!

[@Rayk76]

Wow what a fantastic indepth analysis, your joy and enthusiasm is so infectious 🤘

[@ambrosiajohnson3245]

I love watching you talk about the technical bits. There are all sorts of reacrion videos, but I love yours as they educate me more about the processes used to achieve certain sounds. Love love love it! Also- if you haven't done it yet, please give a listen to Eulogy.

[@fret2fret221]

That slow riff that Adam plays at the end when the music drops is the same riff he’s been playing up until then...just half time...brilliant. Completely different feel. Always loved that part.

[@aragnophy]

One of the greatest songs ever made!

[@robertwest7889]

Man, I'm loving your expertise! Thanks for sharing it with us. tool ... From the first note, BIG BANG, expansion of the universe in the mind.

[@nick_sapsford]

Watching the expressions from around 16:00 on as you're about to pause to talk when the bass breakdown starts is amazing lol. So clearly watch you about to hit pause, then odd time hits and you see confusion then intrigue, into understanding and amusement. Your insights are the main draw but it's always fun watching people's first reactions.

[@New-ko5qj]

Probably one of their least accessible tracks, and an absolute masterpiece by Danny and Justin

[@yomo1690]

That's I felt when I first heard it but now it feels completely normal and I know every beat, tempo and key change. That's the genius of Tool

[@Nereosis16]

When I first read this comment I thought it was dumb but then I remember I bounced off this song intially (was already a house tool fan) but then after a couple listens it swapped to one of their best.

[@BrianGreeneRAD]

Masterpiece by Adam and Maynard too

[@LudusAurea]

Couldn't agree more. It took me probably at least a year after 10k days came out when I would listen to this on my earphones at my 3rd shift job before finally appreciating Lost Keys + Rosetta Stoned. It's an absolutely incredible song and it's one of their tracks like Third Eye and Invincible and 7empest where it just literally goes on forever but it KEEPS getting more and more insane.

[@WarpRider1983]

Awesome breakdown of what’s going on production wise. Not having the lyrics on a first listen is the right move!

[@dwprado25]

These videos are wonderful! This Tool fan appreciates your analysis from an educated musician standpoint to reiterate how great Tool is. I plan to watch all your videos. Thank you.

[@circustreeproductions8269]

Just watched about 3 other Tool review videos you did. Then I saw this one right now. I knew this one was gonna blow you away. These videos are great.

[@Ylt716]

I wanna see your facial expression while your Experiences through the song called Third Eye .....by TOOL

[@slitherywall4460]

YES

[@Mattball82]

I’m so excited for your reaction to the part after the breakdown where you raved about the bass work.. it’s comin now..

[@mariomoralez2267]

So good, man. It's like watching a favorite movie with an old friend, and they've never seen it before. Great stuff, man!!

[@matthewhowsden1924]

I don't know how old you are, but I can tell you how I feel after watching this for the first time. I'm subscribed. And you are the first person to make me feel like tool is the handoff between gen-x and millennials. My older cousin introduced me to Tool, and after he passed away I've carried the torch. This band has changed my outlook, and my life. I can tell you respect the music first and foremost. That's what makes you a great channel to watch. Thank you for this video, it's made at least one person very happy. You break it down in a unique way that gives me hope. Keep going bro!

[@pix23]

Your joyous reactions are what everyone dreams of seeing when they say, "dude, you have to listen to this!"... rather than the furrowed brows it normally produces ;)

[@jimmyodonnell3580]

Arpeggio..Geebz I love your analysis. You really love music and that is quite apparent as I watch you. Your patience and understanding are very insightful. If you had a virtual tip jar..I would drop a grand..because you deserve a good coffee.

[@taylorbush5534]

I love these videos. Great to hear from the perspective of a seasoned professional. Thank you for great content. 🖤 Merry Christmas

[@KeyOfGeebz]

Happy holidays to you Taylor!

[@XXLeftHandPathXX]

Fantastic review. You must try “flood” by Tool also.

[@TheRealBlkButterfly]

I would love to see your take on Puscifer songs... This is another of Maynards bands... also A Perfect Circle.

[@Andy-nl8uq]

A load of the Arcosanti concert is up now. Carina's vocals are particularly impressive, but the rest of the band are so tight too.

[@Lsone350]

Ooo I like your influence ties idea there, that's definitely interesting

[@savageks2396]

Another joyous watch. You are excellent and engaging! Keep them coming please! I will now hunt down some Jinjer to listen to.

[@MattKrogmeier]

Oh, Yes! YES - “Changes” would make a great breakdown episode!

[@LMP-R]

I'd never heard it, but listening to the beginning it definitely has the same kinda of unexpected shorter measure vibe that many tool songs have. that sudden change from 9/8 or 11/8 to 5/8 and then back again, such a neat and tricky rhythm that I have always loved about tool songs. There is a Mudvayne song, Trapped in the wake of a dream that does the same with very strange signatures, and I always loved that as well.

[@Yukonkornelious]

Parabol/Parabola is tools best song in my opinion, and I think you’d have a great appreciation for it

[@liquidbeans4209]

I love what you're doing, keep it up! :D

[@j3st3r01]

Loveeee to see you do “Reflection”. Please and thank you!!

[@Nachtopus]

Disposition/Reflection/Triad. Back-to-back-to-back!

[@ryangraham5387]

This for sure!

[@paulweisgerber7654]

Yes! A couple big bong hits, some headphones, and those three songs could cure a schizophrenic.

[@LojakZeRo]

Great reaction to a great track brother! Once again I'll say I love your breakdowns from a composer/engineer's point of view. I hear most of these things you talk about, but have no technical understanding or knowledge of them. Your breakdowns put a rhyme and a reason to the sounds I'm hearing and I love it. Keep em coming my man! EDIT: Looking for a lesser played track? Hooker with a Penis from - Aenima

[@Rolkus231]

I really love your approach to the music you listen to, it's just basically my approach but you are more experienced and I can learn so much from your videos, even though you don't make them as a tutorial to compose/mix a song. I really appreciate your work and wish you the best of luck in upcoming year, cuz your channel is blowing up right now

[@dantodd3737]

This is fascinating stuff. You bring to light so much that my ears have never picked up on in music I've loved for years. Your technical insight is what I'm here for. Appreciate it 👊✌

[@KeyOfGeebz]

Wow, thank you! 🤙
