I just see my origins. Not my ancestral origins per se, just the origins of what I am: human. And I am surrounded by other humans. Humans hate, but I don't hate. It makes me feel alien. But to avoid the deep pits of arrogance, I realize I am also human, and that I can also hate. Pure as I begin, move by will alone, I choose to build. Others choose to destroy. Just sides of the same coin. I may not see shapes and geometry from music without psychedelics, but I perceive concepts and connections as if those things had a separate sensory organ. In other words, it's just humbling to be reminded, that I am just human. Keyword: just. There's nothing special about being human, but our choices can be special anyway. Move by will alone.

@Travis B fear inoculum is great imo both song and album pneuma invincible & 7empest also amazing.

[@augustgreig9420]

@Travis B What the fuck are you talking about? "Crawl Away" and "Swamp Song" are both great songs, but even if you don't like them, you couldn't remove them from the album because they flesh out the theme of the album, which is about control, specifically the feeling of helplessness when you dony have control. And they use water as a metaphor for this. "Undertow" is a fantastically daring concept album, because most concept albums focus on telling a narrative, but this one focuses on exploring an emotion and all the consequences of that, from broken relationships, resentment, drug abuse, relapse, child sexual abuse, coerced sodomy and loss of faith. "Crawl Away" is about losing someone and having no control over the fact that they are leaving, despite doing everything you can to make them stay. And this leads to wanting to kill them if you can't have them. Or you can read it as wishing you could be the one to betray them instead of vice versa, thus restoring your sense of control. "Swamp Song", I believe, is very obviously about addiction, but could be about any self destructive behavior, including a toxic abuser who hurts anyone they're in a relationship with. And again, here we see the water metaphor, with the swamp, bog, wading and quick sand. He is saying, "Don't follow me, or it will destroy you," but ultimately, when he realizes they won't listen, his feelings turn to anger, as they did in "Crawl Away" and as they often do on the album. That's why he calls them a "dumb ass belligerent fucker, I hope it sucks you down." Again, not only does he not have control over what's happening to him, he also has no control over the person who's following him in. And water again is the metaphor for this. So you see, these two songs are indispensable to the album. In the same way, "Fear Inoculum" is vital for setting the tone on that album.

[@augustgreig9420]

@Travis B First of all, this album is "10,000 Days". Second, I've heard other people parrot your same response, and it makes zero sense. I couldn't find anything on "Fear Inoculum" that sounded like they were retreading old material. Yes, it still has a distinctive style, but that's great. If the album had sounded nothing like them, people would complain way worse. And anyway, the time signatures and polyrhythms on the album are completely unique, unlike anything they've ever done before. In fact, the album actually strays away from their previous work by not building songs around a riff, but instead the songs are built around different rhythms. "Pneuma" is a fantastic example of this, where during the intro the drums actually foreshadow the melody that is to come, not just the rhythm but the drums are also playing the notes of the melody, which is really amazing and not something I remember ever hearing before. The way time signatures and rhythms and polyrhythms are used on this album is really amazing. "Invincible" is a great example of this. The songs has these moments where the guitar, bass and drums are all playing in different time signatures, but as they repeat, they eventually catch up with each other so they land on the same beat, at which point the drums change time to match the guitar and bass before they all stop and allow for silence to take over before bursting forth once more playing together in a perfect 4/4. All of the off beat stuff before builds a tremendous amount of tension so that when we hit 4/4 it feels amazingly satisfying. Something very similar happens in "Pneuma" during the verse which builds up to the chorus which actually doesn't have any lyrics, kind of like "Seven Nation Army". The verse is offbeat and tense and it builds this pressure which is release when the chorus kicks in. It took me a little while, but after listening to this album a lot, I do believe it is their greatest album of all time. It seems that this is the peak they've been building toward all along and they've finally perfected their sound. "Pneuma", and "Invincible" are definitely two of the greatest songs they've ever written. "Fear Inoculum" and "Descending" are both great and fit perfectly in their places on the album. "Culling Voices" appears to be the weakest among them out of the gate, but again, when you view it from its place on the album, it fits perfectly. And "7empest" is just a straight up jam, something unlike anything we've ever heard from them before. I can dance to that song. The album is a 10/10.

This is a modern masterpiece. I have yet to find anything this shamanistic, ambitious, yet freeingly effortless in the Western music sphere in the past few decades. This music, not just the lyrics, is full-on soul-searching. A love letter to all with ears and an open, aching heart. God bless.

[@gandalf8216]

Well, once you discover Tool, you might discover other things that achieve the same thing, differently. Difficult to explain, and who am I to put you on a path of discovery? There's so much out there, between you and me combined, more playtime than we'll get to live. I am serious, there's soooo much out there. To name a few things, if you can detach yourself from the choice of instrument: Heilung, Caligula's Horse, Ayreon, Shpongle, Ott, Plini - there's sooo much out there. With equal depth, meaning, soundscapes. If Tool has given me anything, it's this sudden opening of so many doors of discovery. So many paths of musicality, just out there, awaiting individual discovery. If I could go back in time, and slap my face with a lesson, it would be to not let temporary preferences get in the way of anything. Today, it's way too easy to miss out. Here we have a stone, though.

You can use a fire to light your way and warm your home, or you can use it to forge a blade and slay someone. It's all about your 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣, which can create 𝙏𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣.

The title of this track is a play on words. It’s a play on the word “intension,” meaning the core/internal matter of a given subject (in this case the subject would be free will) and/or a determination to do something in an archaic sense. “Intension” is a homophone of “intention,” which is essentially synonymous with will.

Take everything into consideration and will it together. Find the medium. See this side and the other together. Wether or not the world we’re living in is real or not. It’s still part of the one we don’t see.

A couple years back I was coming down from a massive acid trip. My friend played this song and I hadn’t listened to Tool in years. I kept trying to remember the name of the song I was hearing. I knew I knew the song. But I couldn’t remember the name. The fact I couldn’t remember the songs name and the power of the song combined forced me into a state of incessant sobbing. It was honestly embarrassing. I could not stop crying for almost 15 minutes. What an incredible song.

It seems to me a cleansing ritual. Pure as we begin, no matter what we’ve done. That or a tongue in cheek remark toward a harsh truth that sinners are of God the same as those begotten.

It's like Dispositions Grandpa.

but Disposition is an older song... Intension is the grandchild

[@CountrysideIC3]

Always thought I preferred disposition but I've been listening to intention non stop recently. Just something about it

[@Burnzy494959]

@@nacazcultx No I understand that, but the artists were older when they made this so I think of it as older.. and when I'm drunk as hell staring at the 10,000 days album art I like to think it's the man from Lateralus whose third eye has opened for 10,000 days and he's aged 10,000 days with all the knowledge of the universe and is now some sort of ancient deity because of the weight of that knowledge. Just my experience 🤘

The best song of the best album TOOL has ever recorded. They said exactly what they had always wanted to say in this song with utter clarity.

[@pricc-om]

Hard agree with everything here 🤘!!

[@paololateralus5772]

Tool is a unique band where there is always something new to discover. songs that, even after ten years of listening, still hide something from the ears.

[@Robisquick]

You know what’s crazy? 10,000 Days is tied for my favorite album of all time (With Revolver by The Beatles).. I’ve listened to the big tracks off 10,000 Days around 700-1000x. But somehow I’ve never ever listened to Intention. I figured it was a filler track and could safely be skipped after hearing the first 10 seconds. I’m stoked to hear a new old Tool song for the first time in 10 years 😂

[@rahninicole9898]

You gotta listen to tool in the entirety of the album to truly experience it

[@vyrnius]

this is so...experience is a masterpiece on so many levels

your supposed to listen to the whole albums at a time. thats what the guy who showed me tool said atleast and it does change the way you view each song i think they are all chapters of a bigger story

Closest Tool song to my heart

[@SleepycoasterOrigamiUnicorn]

It blew my mind when I made the connection between this and Right in Two, such contrasting instrumentals but it all climaxes in the second half of the latter.

Pretty happily exhausted after listening to Tempest on my TOOL playlist, this song goes perfect next to come down and chill a bit. Every song is a journey.

[@moonlightreveries1459]

I always fall asleep to this or Damnation album by Opeth. Sleep like a baby. Love how weird. Tribal. Strangely ancient this song feels

[@idoalittletrolling4867]

I wouldn't say Tool is the world's greatest band. There is no one greatest, really. To me they are MY greatest band, my favourite tool (hehe pun) to use while self exploring. A perfect blend of the hard, earhtly rock and the calm, spiritual "out of this world". A yin and yang of a band. They are very grounded, yet stare at the night sky and reach as far as they can. They help me to reach further.
