[@thelumpylobster]

During the music clinic events they did a little while back, some fans asked about Lateralus' theorized reordering in the 'Holy Gift" sequencing, as it seems to flow much more 'perfectly' than the CD ordering. Adam, Danny, and Justin all apparently acted like they had never heard of it, and that they released the album in the ordering that it was intended. Given their mystique, I would assume (as someone else here mentioned) either that A.) TOOL is operating on this insane level, and would want to keep that under wraps/likely would not be able to explain it if they tried. or B.) all of this really is coincidental and/or did happen but the band did not intentionally plan it out. Either way, it would make sense in their position to want to deny any of this, at least to keep up their "mysterious" brand image. Personally, I think-whether intentionally by design of the band or not- the synchronicities in TOOL's music are indeed happening, and contribute to the unique music fans can't seem to get enough of. Paraphrasing Maynard in the video, "I lose nothing believing it is real if it actually isn't," [and conversely; ..."but I may be missing out if I don't believe, and it is real"].

i dont think that they are the usual type of human they would never tell you about it because it will alter your opinion and they always wanted to be a tool for whatever you wish to do if they talk about it the magic is gone becuase we limit our mind they want you to think for yourself question everything this is still a theory about all the numbers they could be wrong from the beginning and tool could be working with wrong numbers but i dont think its about the numbers its about the meaning we give them except for the sacred geometry once ago some1 gave those number meaning but some numbers simply are what they are like pi or the fibonacci squence

[@epicblarg1]

Only thing I geeked out truly over is the name of the track Litanie contre la Peur, which translates to Litany against Fear, which is a direct reference to Frank Herbert's Sci-fi classic Dune. Litany against fear: "I must not fear.Fear is the mind-killer.Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.I will face my fear.I will permit it to pass over me and through me.And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." Coincidentally, also has roots in Shakespeare which this video referenced as well.

[@lopolik]

Daaaamn, this analysis is really interesting. I am not really into the math side of things, but I've always felt like TOOL is something else, in my experience I have felt Euphoria the highest high, and it was all connected to Tool music, I focused just on the lyrics, I could see they relate to my own life at that particular moment in my life, and it was a crazy experience, with supernatural powers going on..

If one really thinks that the prevalence of 58 all throughout the album (and honestly I barely scratched the surface), like for example in Pneuma, the numerical additive sum of 7empest's 15:43, the numerical value of Noah, which is highly likely related to 7empest and Maynard's future catastrophe undercurrent, the abbreviated form of the name of Metatron the angel of the first sphere, which has a numerical sum of 620 which is the seconds count of Fear Inoculum, and the fact the 58 is the sum of the first 7 prime numbers and a mean Saturn Return number, in an album revolving around 7 and the Saturn Return, is coincidental, then, well....that is your opinion.

For those who are continuesly calling all of this coincidence (which in fact there is no such thing in the natural universe), have missed the entire point of Tool itself. They are smart enough to turn their egos off and let the universe do its thing, ala work through their subconscious, manifesting a microcosm and model of the universe itself in each of their albums from within and without the human framework. Alan Moore has done the same as well as many other actual great artists through history. Just because you like riffs and sound, doesn't mean these great artists have done decades of complex work and study off that same premise. Open your minds to possability; why else are you even here?

[@liquidaudio_]

I agree that they follow their subconscious, I try to do that with my own musical creations. But I will also say that every thing this video points to, I highly doubt Tool consciously chose to do. The fact that it is subconscious means that it is true. Your subconsciousness is your real self devoid of all outside infiltration. That is why the number 7 is significant because artists have been depicting for generations from a subconscious feeling. But this idea of “coincidence” very well could be just people falling into this vortex of subconscious natural order. That’s the coincidence. I guess. I don’t know. I’m just stumbling through this universe with the rest of you.

Despite all of the numerology, it’s Shakespearean references that punctuate the breadth of the album, and, in doing so, flag one of its central themes: entropy. In Pneuma, corporeal existence is described as “this guise, this mask”. But it’s worth mentioning that, when archaically spelled ‘masque’, the word refers to a short play performed by (typically) nobility as a sort of opening act before a main dramatic production. These concise skits often began with ‘anti-masques’ that established a chaotic milieu, which would be corralled into order by the players in the subsequent ‘masque’; ultimately reinforcing an Elizabethan-era belief in the triumph of intentioned order over uninhibited chaos. In fact, Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest’ revolves around the magician Prospero, who conspires to produce a masque both as an act of revenge against his enemies as well as an allegorical morality play to educate his daughter, who is coming-of-age and soon to marry. He succeeds, and, with his enemies defeated, restores righteousness and order. Both Aenima & Lateralus open with songs that serve as expositions of negativity, and the albums proceed, alchemically, if you will, to turn these leaden initiations into golden finales. Think Third Eye & Reflection... Fear Inoculum, however, does the exact opposite. Starting with the eponymous first track, the album gets steadily darker, until it lands in that epic hurricane of a song, 7empest. This descent is Prospero’s work undone; the album ends with an anti-masque, in which chaos reigns triumphant, and all the king’s horses, and all the king’s men cannot put anything back together again. This, of course, is not to say that Tool has, in the passage of decades, become overly pessimistic. Rather, it seems that they’re pointing to the infallibility of spiritual development as a panacea for our increasingly unhinged epoch, while being honest about the entropic course our species is taking and the inevitability implied thereby.

[@sonja7halcyon]

Interesting take! "Spiritual development" can be a trap and bypass. We are mortal and we are Divine all at once, in every moment. Chaos is par for the course.

Agree.

Well said! Average people just don’t understand. I can’t wait to share with my wife. And then ask her to show me something that Jon bon jovi said in any song written that has any depth at all comparatively speaking. No offense to jbj or to her but the explanation this guy delivers beautifully is spot on! I would like to have a conversation with him as through learning to my best ability to analyze TOOL, it all makes sense- Period! Coming from a high level mathematician, and psychologist just sayin... Everyone involved with TOOL is brilliant and if any fans don’t realize that TOOL is as smart and clever as the presenter of this video portrays needs to study up big time! And the comments I have read insofar as of now are appalling to me and I will venture to say that deep down TO THE CORE , TOOL fans will agree. However, everyone who has made comments are, if not TOOL fans, at least interested so you are off to a great start, ignorant comments or not, this band will dumb you right down NO MATTER how smart you think you are. So count every character in my post. Every single letter and comma and period they will equate to pi minus my age of 40.4082 plus tau. And this only took me a few hours to do the MATH! And the gents of this band are WAY more superior to this layman. Took 13 years to make FEAR INOCULUM for many good reasons!

[@derekrohan9619]

Man I have been a huge Tool fan since 93. I loved how they were not all over their videos and that they couldn’t care less if they were on the radio or not. Anyway I love how deep their music is , not only sonically but stuff like what this video is about. It is not just a song it’s art. Takes them forever to put out an album for this reason. That’s why it doesn’t bother me that it takes a long time. Love this bad.. this is a great video bud, you put a lot of work and research into it. I just wanted to say thank you for making this.. good job bud

[@lukethemuse9921]

I have many questions here: Each member of Tool has been going through all of this diligent joining sacred geometry, alchemy, and astrology together since the beginning! What then does this imply? What is the significance of doing such study and union? What is alchemy and astrology? Why is it all showing up again and again in the stars, in history, and on Earth? What teachings are here? What does this mean?

[@lucasgeiser8036]

About the significance or purpose of all this. Besides that it is absolutely awesome to discover a record that way, I think it best shows in what Danny said, which was shown in the video. They believe in every bar, not just every verse and chorus, every bar of this record. It shows the passion they bring up creating this art. Personally I think this is a, if not the most important aspect of creating art. The energy that goes with it is so signifficantly different to something that is f.e. created only for the sake of earning money with it. For me it makes the escence of expieriencing art.

You can dissect a lot of bands/music and find something similar, if this band plays outside of boundaries. And even if not. There's plenty of room for accentuation within 4/4. Your overanalyzation fits the mysterious tool just waaay better ;)! And I really appreciate your effort!! An example: everything is based on the golden ratio. Without exception. But on a different scale, we cannot simply see. If you force things into the ratio to make the obvious obvious, then it easily gets mystified. An artificial hommage, pretending to be something, that it already is ;)!
