🤘🏾Tool Right in Two Reaction!!!🤘🏻

[@edrueter9]

"Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here..." One of Maynard's best lyrics. Nice video, I'm looking forward to Jimmy.

[@VinAndSori]

Welcome aboard!

[@kschell286]

Edward Rueter Best lyric ever. Hopefully one day the majority of humanity will understand this and reason will prevail.

[@reedcaron5743]

What does it mean?

[@matthewgodding777]

@@reedcaron5743 you have a short time here, you can view heaven, here right now. It's disgusting you would choose not to.

[@jamesdconstantine.838]

[@scottwater19721]

"Repugnant is a creature that would squander his ability to lift his eye to Heaven, concious of his fleeting time here." One of the most incredibly insightful and troubling lyrics EVER written.

[@VinAndSori]

Tru story !

[@scottwater19721]

I really dig your channel and wait patiently for some more content to devour. lol

[@VinAndSori]

You’ve seen all the vids already ? 😱

[@arizona71189]

What's it mean

[@heatherdavis9525]

We can all fall into a abyss but what do you do with it humanism is the answer

[@nicklong4281]

Justin chancellor is a freakishly good bassist

[@Lou.Briccant]

God amongst men

[@Mr.BigCog]

Agreed. Every band member is at the apex of their craft tho too

[@Lou.Briccant]

@@Mr.BigCog agreed. TOOL is a well oiled machine. I have not found anyone who comes close to the amount of creativity and passion that these guys come together and create. I also feel that the band improved when Paul d'Amour left, and Justin took his place.

[@Mr.BigCog]

@@Lou.Briccant couldnt agree more. I have been obsessed with TOOL for 20 years now and I still get completely blown away by their music. I know its cliche but I really do believe they are the single greatest band of all time, I dont say that lightly either.

[@Lou.Briccant]

@@Mr.BigCog i went and saw them in 2017 at the Rosemont allstate arena by chicago. They play in my headphones daily. There is an amazing facebook group that I am in. Yoy should check it out. Ill post the name in a bit.

[@tinanalow9768]

I can listen to Tool all night while sleeping. Can't you just FEEL this song flowing and moving through you? I don't know what it is, but they are my favorite band. Every time I play them, I literally have to close my eyes and let the sound take me away from everything.

[@thewardenduncan]

Watching Sori take in the whole bridge with her eyes closed, and then get this huge smile on her face at 9:01 when the heavy breakdown kicks in was incredible. You can tell how much you two really liked this song.

[@158102262]

Vicarious by tool is another human condition song (on 10,000 days album) I think you'll enjoy. It speaks on how mankind is fascinated with tragedy and that's why we only see whats negative on the news. Although I choose to watch positive news. Thank you for this great review of this song

[@VinAndSori]

Thank you so much for that positive review ! 🤘🏾-Vin

[@miloblackmetalhate]

chad mullis It'd be so damn ironic if they react to Vicarious 😂

[@Defensive_Wounds]

Moreso now where everyone films disasters with their mobile cell phones!

[@brodemonz]

They finally got to Vicarious!

[@favre3xmvp1]

Sori closing her eyes and just taking it all in! What this band is all about!

[@brightdarkness420]

as an athiest , its interesting to see a christian view on all these songs

[@VinAndSori]

Ya? Which part interested u? -Sori✌🏻

[@brightdarkness420]

you guys said so much and my english is not good enough to fully explain what i think/feel about these songs , but as an example the song judith , you talk about god doing things for/to you and in the end helping maynard wich is true . but if there exists a god that is good and allpowerfull why would he let this happen to his mom . i'll link 2 videos from stephen fry to illustrate how i feel about this topic kzbin.info/www/bejne/aF7HZaKqfapgj6s , this last one is more about the catholic church then its is about god but its also a good example kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4StZ3SMaJaArqM

[@VinAndSori]

Join fb so we can have a conversation through messenger ok?

[@brightdarkness420]

sure, request sent

[@tb0ceh1]

A little late, but as another atheist, I want to mention a couple things. First, I really like the thought and care of your analysis, particularly the discussion of the Darwinian juxtaposition upon the Judeo-Christian origin story. I found quite a few things interesting here. I love that you refer to a variety of belief systems with respect and credence while maintaining your own ideology. I thought Sori's face was very eloquent through the song, and she viscerally reacted to what I think you would agree is an eloquent indictment of aspects of the human experience. Aside from all that, one thing I found fascinating here was how Vin in particular kept coming back to "the payoff" (inherit the earth etc), partly because that isn't really implied in the song, and second because given the rest of the discussion it seemed a curious impulse -- that these things aren't worth doing in and of themselves but rather because they lead to a reward. I've always heard this song as a kind of parable: an agonizingly beautiful tragedy intended to provoke self-reflection and hopefully improvement. Regardless, thanks for your reaction video -- helped me refine my own understanding of this wonderful song.

[@colbybeltz8836]

Props to whoever requested this! I mean you can’t go wrong with any song

[@VinAndSori]

Lots of people requested !

[@sangtran8300]

Yes I was one of them. I'm so happy that Vin and Sori did this so soon. I've never clicked so fast lol.

[@marcovanveen5287]

me too(l)

[@igottabasketballjones7420]

Yeah this song is one of my favorites

[@perliva]

Tool is basically one song with numerous climaxes. I adore this band.

[@swamprabbit66]

If Slayer is what hell sounds like...Tool is what heaven sounds like. Lateralus is in my personal top 10 all time greatest albums of all time!!

[@VinAndSori]

Ohhhhhhhhh ur making me sooooooooo excited!!!!!!!! -Sori🤟🏻

[@HecticReacts]

Another freaking fantastic song/reaction guys!

[@VinAndSori]

Thanks man !!!

[@juancandialopez8343]

Best crossover ever

[@VinAndSori]

Crossover ?

[@juancandialopez8343]

VinAnd Sori hectis is other reaction chanel, Saludos!

[@VinAndSori]

Ya he was in before us, crazy to me he’s even resounding to our channel... that’s crazy to me !!

[@camjam180]

Leave it to this channel to leave me more interested and appreciative of Tool lyrics than I already was.

[@VinAndSori]

Wow! Thank you !

[@rx7dude2006]

One of my top 5 Tool songs for sure.People fighting over pieces of the earth when there is enough for everyone, makes no sense.

[@VinAndSori]

Insanity

[@VinAndSori]

So terrible and sad!

[@igottabasketballjones7420]

Very true

[@sangtran8300]

This song is easily in my top 10 songs of all time

[@alikartal4822]

what are the others

[@M1n1M]

I find it very therapeutic and relaxing to the soul when I watch you guys listen to music for long periods at a time. It makes me feel like I actually have friends to hang out with.you guys rock

[@M1n1M]

I actually feel the same way! I can’t believe it! I literally just made a comment explaining the same feelings towards these two a minute ago! Thank you for sharing this beautiful comment.

[@M1n1M]

Oh wait.... ahahah this is my own comment. I think I need to lay off on the shrooms

[@abroZ13]

Intension is the prologue to this song, it really is a part of the story and it will click even more if you hear it. It goes way back to the most basic ideas about what it is that makes us human. It's also reflected in the music as well as the music transform from ancient (tribal drumming) to modern /industrialized (electronic drumming) it's really a history lesson wrapped in a piece of music. The song than flows over in right in two which is the psychological /spiritual side of it. Check it out.

[@abhinandanbhattacharjee9067]

Love from India. Huge Tool fan . Sori, loved the way you close your eyes and feel the rhythms and the tabla solo. This is exactly how a Tool song is to be perceived and dealt with. 🤘

[@seelenwinter6662]

here is the best cover i ever listen and its from india... tools right in two...^^ kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHaUdZ6dirOZeMU

[@silverblack5475]

Everyone , i mean everyone , is doing Tool reactions . Cant wait for this one

[@VinAndSori]

Wow! That’s huge

[@brandonhinrichs8657]

silver black the fact that there should actually be new album soon helps

[@sangtran8300]

My heart can’t take another delay from Tool’s new album. I really hope it will be released this year.

[@kingbassk83]

Most likely 2018

[@mineonlyhooves]

kingbassk83 no way. Nothings even tracked yet (per Maynard). And hes on tour all summer/fall with APC. This thing aint comin out till 2019/2020

[@josecontreras9229]

Every time that Sori says "I'm Sori", I inmediatly and unconsciusly say to my self, "why is she sorry for.. Oh dup!!".

[@VinAndSori]

Lol !!!

[@josecontreras9229]

By the way, you guys rock! Keep doing this great work!

[@ryanramsey4405]

I love how deep you go into the reactions of Tool. Tool is arguably the greatest band of all time! They are producing another album as we speak and I'm taking the entire day off work to put it on repeat!🤩

[@sfjarhead4062]

I can't describe it well, but all Tool songs bring me visions of the Golden Spiral. Each line seems to build then fade, in a rhythm like I'm standing still and they are curving by ... like on a carousel...but the intensity is growing during the entire song, spiraling larger and larger; a Golden Spiral.

[@matthewguillot1775]

I have heard this song an infinite number of times but every time I get goosebumps because this song is the history of the world and it just brings so much emotion to the tragedy of the progression of human nature.. Tool is made up of amazing artists that have inspired me even more than authors of novels and poetry.

[@matthewguillot1775]

by the way this is the first video I've watched on your channel and I already subscribed

[@VinAndSori]

Wow! That’s unbelievable!!

[@johnjohnnyoorosco3588]

You guys knocked it out the park again! Great stuff! Oh and thank you for chatting w/me on my Facebook post today. My uncle asked who you were and I gave him the run down so you have a couple more subs! Thanks again, much appreciated, and much 💙!

[@VinAndSori]

Wow man! I was just awestruck by the man! We love connecting with y’all! -Vin

[@johnjohnnyoorosco3588]

VinAnd Sori Same here! Glad you started this channel! Refreshing!

[@Pirelli913]

Love the tabla drum solo. Other Tool songs with drum solos include Forty Six & 2 and The Grudge.

[@VinAndSori]

46&2 has gotten soooo many requests! Def going to do it! -Sori✌🏻

[@patricklyle4504]

I think the best aspect of this video is watching your emotions change as the song progresses. You can really tell it hit you at times.

[@RyanMurray]

There's these guys in India that cover this song, its amazing, might be worth checking out. To me, it might be the best TOOL cover i've ever heard. They're called Beard in Harmony i think.

[@joemurphy3192]

First off, best reaction videos ever. The only one I've seen where the viewers have an honest reaction to not only the instrumentation and dynamics of the music, but dissect the lyrics and meaning it gives you with intelligence and thought. Proud subscriber. It's wonderful when people start listening to Tool. Ironically, they are a religion. Since the early 90s, Tool fans have been doing what you guys are, sitting around a dark room, listening to genius compositions and discussing them. Welcome to the club! Keep doing what you're doing. Loving it!

[@dprob1985]

Hell ya! Yalls tool videos are becoming my favorite vids on youtube

[@VinAndSori]

That’s high praise !!

[@colbybeltz8836]

VinAnd Sori same here. I’ve seen Fckgogle in literally every tool based video, and saying y’all are his favorites is dope. Keep it up

[@alexjany1969]

Saaaame!!

[@dprob1985]

SingForAbsolution 01 thank you for that comment. First time saying this is in a comment but Tools music saved my life. I relate alot to the music. From undertow, to thirteenth step (apc), and of course lateralus, and 10000 days. Maynards story has always hit home to me, which is obvious it has to countless others. So watching people who get the music and see the brilliance is awesome for me to me watch. Everyday or so i peep out if theres a tool reaction. Just to see who the music effects. Vin and sori get it. They r the first channel who actually pay attention to genius musicality and lyrics w out seeming fake. Others channels i thought "get it" kinda let me down. Seemed like the overall objective was just views. Music has power. It can effect us negative or positive. And tool is all the way positive. Genious in my book.

[@colbybeltz8836]

Fckgogle Pluss I can completely agree about how music effects people, including myself. Tool is just one of many bands that do, but are always superior in intricacy, detail, and depth to their message or story. Very well said and I have much respect to anyone to passionately loves Tool for their lyricism and instrumental complexity.

[@BloodyRoastBeef]

Half an hour, awesome! 😎 🙌 I love the fact you don't rush through it AND don't pause the song and and genuinely allow yourselves to take it all in just as it should be experienced AND actually review it afterwards! Nicely done you guys! 😎

[@VinAndSori]

Thank you !!

[@mvasquez1990123]

Just found your channel and the things I instantly love are how Sori gets bobbing into the music. As a musician it is apparent she keenly feels the pulse of music. Also Vin is very articulate and creative with his opinions, and has a talent for getting in the mindset of another even with ideas that he does not agree with, for example acknowledging Eden is mythology in Maynard's macroevolutionary world view.

[@VinAndSori]

Appreciate that

[@jimc3786]

Love watching a Tool fan be born. . . Sori gets the Music. . . Seeing her close her eyes and feel the music. . . It's exactly how I feel when I hear it. You guys are great to watch!

[@VinAndSori]

Yes! It was amazing!!! -Sori✌🏻

[@michaelpeterson9016]

That part where you guys talk about how Sori was enslaved by her anger and Vin was completely free of it ties directly to the first song on Lateralus called "The Grudge". Hope you remember that if you do a reaction to that song.

[@VinAndSori]

I will now ! Good looking out !

[@NikAKADemonRhyder]

Really happy to see you guys taking our suggestions, super stoked for this one. Much love from the North East!

[@VinAndSori]

Thanks for the suggestion !

[@BegToDiffah]

Nice catch with the Solomon's Baby connection! I've been listening to this song since its release and I still get chills with the "...repugnant is the creature..." line. I'm glad you guys liked it (figured you would...).

[@VinAndSori]

Ya that was a mind blowing moment when she made that connection !!! Proud of my Sori!!! 😘 -Vin

[@kschell286]

BegToDiffah That was clearly a dig at religious people...how can you be so oblivious?

[@seanrosler8350]

themighty axe isn’t this song along the lines of paradise lost?

[@kschell286]

Sean Rosler overtly yes, it echoes that story, but the subtext of the entire song clearly espouses a call to humanism. We are conscious beings so we should appreciate our short time on this earth.

[@briggs530]

It is so refreshing to hear / listen to people actually just thinking through a process and or a concept. Thank you!

[@jamiephillips786]

The Humbling River - Puscifer has a great meaning to it. Puscifer has the same singer as Tool

[@VinAndSori]

Listed!

[@VinAndSori]

I see what you did there !

[@gunsandink]

Jamie Phillips A Perfect Circle is another one of Maynards bands.

[@gunsandink]

VinAnd Sori check this song out by A Perfect Circle, another one of Maynards bands, kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5KyqnSsl89lfMk

[@johnwilson1794]

I really like The Rapture by Puscifer. Another reference to Cain and Able. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZonLe313f7NmiZI

This was one of the more beautiful discussions I have seen on KZbin ever. Thank you for including us in this.

[@game_4_growth]

Just found your channel. Love that you're enjoying Tool so much, and thank you for the intelligent dissemination. Tool is a very special band and an important part of our Human ascension & the expansion of consciousness that is so desperately needed at this time, on this planet. Newly subbed, and on my way to your channel page to check out your other Tool reactions. Keep being awesome. * speaking of Cain & Abel, check out The Rapture by Maynard's other band Puscifer, if you haven't already. Great stuff. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXu0pKWHhNygedE

[@VinAndSori]

Awesome!

[@jamiewest5357]

Four beautiful minds came together out of the world to create Tool. One of the most original rock bands of all time in my opinion. If that makes any sense(Edited). Thank you Vin and Sori.

[@felipecampos3045]

try to analize stinkfist and schism and be forever messed up after...great review as aways by the way

[@VinAndSori]

Thank you ! Haven’t seen any of those on the list yet !

[@mpfiveO]

I’ll second Stinkfist, it’s a great song with some great riffs. It’s one of those songs where casual listeners think it’s about one thing that’s kinda off putting to some folks, but that’s superficial, its really making a much deeper statement about the human condition in a modern world. And Schism is a great song too.

[@VinAndSori]

That’s the third request today !

[@felipecampos3045]

michael porter, yes... Some say its about sex, others think its drugs and so on...

[@KenDoLL666]

Stinkfist Schism Vicarious and AEnema are all must hears ASAP

[@BrianFroEffron]

If this song doesn’t bring tears flowing from your eyes, you are not a human being.

[@samuelminnick6275]

To add on to the "tribal drum part", Danny Carey (Their Drummer), is very into African tribe music. A lot of the rhythyms he uses originate from that. He also uses polyrhythmic patterns. The dude is one of the best to do it IMO. Also, you should really consider checking out APC's Orestes from Stone and Echo at Red Rocks. It's absolutely beautiful and is one of the best performances ive ever seen. Keep it up guys!

[@VinAndSori]

Hey keep that APC red rocks request current !

[@samuelminnick6275]

VinAnd Sori p.s. I saw you guys on the APC subreddit. That was cool to see!

[@VinAndSori]

Really??

[@VinAndSori]

I don’t remember posting that

[@samuelminnick6275]

VinAnd Sori I'm pretty sure. Unless I was seeing things lol. Do you guys even have a Reddit account?

[@kl8455]

the lyrics made me appreciate this song much more than I had done on first listen. so true.

[@stephenmorelli6741]

Finally jimmy is coming , at least it’s from the Aenima album . I think you would be interested in 46 and 2 , and eulogy actually has certain religious references , H is good, stinkfist , etc

[@VinAndSori]

Yes jimmy is coming !

[@yootoober49]

VinAnd Sori phrasing

[@johnmorpheus120]

46 and 2 as well as many of the deeper meanings of Lateralus and others point to what some call the coming new age or golden age of consciousness and change. I love Tool’s music but it’s got another level of pull on people and a spiritual overtone but def. not from the true light.

[@jmarra07]

Adam is the guitarist* for TOOL. He also makes the videos with the claymation and the artwork for the albums. Whole band of absolute geniuses. According to Maynard, Adam and the drummer Carey write the music, then he writes lyrics listening to it. How crazy is that?

[@DamnDealDone]

Adam Jones is the guitarist.

[@jmarra07]

My bad

[@igottabasketballjones7420]

Oh wow! This song is over the top! Haven’t even watched the vid yet and I know you will get hit hard by this one, it’s so true in so many ways!

[@VinAndSori]

Let us know what u think when ur done!

[@igottabasketballjones7420]

VinAnd Sori sorry for the delay, WiFi was crap so I had to wait until I got home. Ok, sori u r correct, vin u need to close your eyes bro LOL, just helps to feel the sounds imo. I could talk about this song for hours. It really creates a visual of how messed up humans r. I mean come on, let’s be real, if the 10 most wealthiest ppl in the would sat around the table and said “ hey, so what do u guys want to do to be productive today?” 1 should say, “let’s end world hunger by putting some of our money to good use huh”. But of course that doesn’t happen, bc everyone is so wrapped up in personal gain, power and selfishness. That is what humans hv evolved to, something to b proud of right? I feel that this song has to make even just a few ppl think about the direction we r heading as a race..the entire human race, fuck all the colors! In addition, how the world would be different if we all cared a little bit more. Thought a little bit more in advance, how your actions and decisions can make a change in how the world works. I really try to stay positive everyday in hopes that we can look at the big picture and “love thy neighbor” as opposed to taking my neighbor out so I can gain something from it. I feel I’ve rambled a bit after having a couple drinks to decompress after my 13 hr work day lol, sorry for that. I could probably put together a better explanation if I wasn’t so tired and actually typed on my computer LOL. Skipped around a bit and lots more to say but u guys get the idea I’m sure. This song is very powerful and, in time, it will keep touching ppl, 1 by 1. That is progress.

[@VinAndSori]

Not rambling man. You gave the straight truth, and it was challenging that’s for sure !

[@wanderlurkersk8]

Reaction videos are popular these days but this is refreshing to see two people actually breaking down there experience.. keep the brain candy coming!

[@VinAndSori]

Appreciate that my man !

[@mgoldman78]

Congrats on the 1.1k subscribers already! I'm a new subscriber as of last night. I'm loving your channel! Tool is an awesome band. Gotta give their song Jambi a listen sometime. It's hands down one of their best songs.

[@VinAndSori]

Jambi is coming real soon!

[@VinAndSori]

Thank you for joining... can you give a quick explanation for what made you sub ?

[@mgoldman78]

Your reaction to Avenged Sevenfold Save Me was a suggested video. Needless to say, your reaction did not disappoint. It's my favorite song of theirs and no one is reacting to it. Thank you so much for your honest reaction!

[@mgoldman78]

I'm excited for your reaction to Jambi! It will not disappoint!!!

[@VinAndSori]

Appreciate that !!

[@plentyonions]

I love the reaction of people when they read the lyrics

[@philcowan5456]

The theme of division comes back in "Schism" off of the Lateralus album! My personal fav tool song! cant wait for the full review of that album!

[@VinAndSori]

Exciting !

[@seanrosler8350]

VinAnd Sori isn’t this tied to paradise lost

You know a song is good when it spawns a good conversation. I don't usually comment but it was refreshing to hear some honest talk and thoughts.

[@jmarra07]

[@noname-ib3fe]

Undertow!!!!!!!!! Great album!

[@xstatixtribalelectronicmus2787]

Fantastic episode! It’s refreshing to see you two really dive in and discuss these songs so thoroughly. This is why TOOL is so captivating.🤘🎼🎶🔥

[@VinAndSori]

Agreed!

[@scottmccumber5810]

Don't have Facebook my dudes, but I Liked it in spirit!! And I must say, if you do a Tool album reaction, p-l-e-a-s-e let it be Aenima. In the name of all that's sonically pleasing and aurally savory, please let it be Aenima. Hehehe! Keep in mind though, the song Eulogy is in reference to Mr. L. Ron Hubbard, creator of Scientology!--not who you might think!!

[@VinAndSori]

Good point ... there’s ways to get the album review done if you want ...

[@scottmccumber5810]

Uh Oh... I'm afraid to ask! LOL! It's like that scene in the movie The Godfather... And then I gave him an offer he couldn't refuse....:D

[@VinAndSori]

Hahahaha something like that !

[@11peterson1]

My vote for an album reaction is definitely Lateralus.

[@azrallye]

I enjoyed hearing both of your prospectives on this song. That is one reason why I enjoy TOOL so much is that the songs are so deep, in their own way, that almost every time you listen to the song you hear something new. Great video!

[@VinAndSori]

Thank you !!

[@jamesfrazier4005]

It's weird and interesting to hear a Christians view of Tool lyrics when traditionally their fans tend to be secular and (in my opinion) are written to be secular. However, Tool does take lots of inspiration from Christian iconography and thought processes and some go over my head.. so it's good to actually have people with some experience and knowledge in that to point out the connections. I am an atheist.. but our culture is so Christian and influenced that you have to at least know something about it to get the full spectrum of our society.

[@VinAndSori]

Very good and honest point. And I tried to be honest as well pointing that Maynard very likely referenced “eden” in the mythological sense

[@musicforjdb]

Agreed on all counts. His lyrics are sometimes literal, sometimes metaphorical, symbolic, etc. In some songs, the meaning changes depending on how you break up the prose - Weak and Powerless, for example.

[@FutureShawn0058]

Once again the way they are able to break down Maynard’s lyrics are incredible. I think Tool might be their favorite band now.

[@jarenyoung9389]

Do Deftones

[@VinAndSori]

Oh ya it’s comin! -🤟🏻Sori

[@sangtran8300]

Oh man i’m curious of how you guys will react to Deftones. They are quite unique. I’ve got a pleasure seeing them live twice. They are incredible live performers.

[@jamesdconstantine.838]

Change (House of Flies) is the best song to fuck to.

[@marq2787]

I have seen a few channels that delve into music and dissect songs before, but none with the intelligence of you two. You folks broke it down beautifully, very impressed! Subbed.

[@VinAndSori]

Whoa! Thanks

[@chriscary516]

You absolutely need to review Eulogy.

[@VinAndSori]

It is ABSOLUTELY on the list !

[@fandomewhisper]

Underrated reaction channel. Please keep it up and thank you everything so far. 🙌

[@LambofSuffering]

46&2 + third eye, thank you!

[@VinAndSori]

46 is next... unless it’s on lateralus

[@WardenOfSouls]

just in case anybody didnt know and is interested: What sounds like traditional drums or something are e-drum pads integrated in the drum kit :)

Between the Buried and Me

[@Tdub0911]

Absolute perfection. It gets under your skin and gives you the chill. Whatta journey....like a complete epic two hour movie compacted into six or seven minutes with all two hour of intensity squished in hard. This song needs to be listened to with headphones and your eyes closed. The lyrics are clear and you enter another world.

[@martinallen589]

Please do some Steven Wilson, a good song of him its The raven that refused to sing.

[@VinAndSori]

That’s the 2nd request for that in as many days !

[@xenophon343]

Steven Wilson is a genius. Also try his band Porcupine Tree...great prog metal band.

[@VinAndSori]

What’s the song from porcupine tree again?

[@xenophon343]

I'd recommend 2 live versions. First Arriving somewhere but not Here at kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWTPpKSLpqyHsK8 and also Anesthetize at kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3PJimtsmNCnhJI Great prog metal band! Lots of complexity and I assume you like that since you're now big Tool fans.

[@ahsankabir6810]

VinAnd Sori, Anesthetize, Arriving Somewhere but Not Here, Fadeaway, these are great Porcupine Tree tracks

[@KhaledAkbik]

Amazing reaction. Brilliant conversation. This is how Tool should be "reviewed/reacted" to, it's what they deserve.

[@VinAndSori]

Oh I agree wholeheartedly!! I don’t understand ppl not liking tool!!! -Sori✌🏻

I dont know what's better.... watching val geek out because she's already hooked, or watching Vin come around slowly. Seems like there is always a part in each song that gets vins head banging a bit, but the Toolgasm hasn't hit yet. I can't wait when it does. COMMENTER POLL:: what tool song is going to get Vin off first?

[@VinAndSori]

Following this thread....

[@tomwiththeweather247]

I think he's a porabola kinda guy

[@b2ickwall978]

46 & 2

[@riezexeero7392]

Ticks and leeches!

[@NikAKADemonRhyder]

I truthfully think it's going to be something along the lines of Vicarious. Its a very aggressive song at the start, slows and builds into something even more aggressive at the end with the chorus. Plus its a great meaning and message, i also think Aenima and possibly Rossetta Stoned. All great songs and there are still many unmentioned, realize its hard for people introduced to Tool through the later albums to go back and listen to, Undertow for example. The band progressed through the years and even tho die hard fans will shake their fist at me, listening to old songs vs new songs is night and day. The progress the band made making their music more intricit and unique has grown substancially.

[@maynordj]

I love how Sori smiles when a part of the song clicks with her! Also Vin you are a perfect representative for your race.

[@VinAndSori]

Ummmm .... thank you ? 🤨

[@maynordj]

VinAnd Sori Hey man don't mention it

[@uBoBaMnupa]

Sopor Aeternus - Beautiful Thorn

[@VinAndSori]

Love that title!!! -Sori🤘🏻

[@chadcansler2211]

I really like the way you two broke this down. I think when Maynard speaks of "Eden" he's speaking about the earth as whole being that Eden

[@VinAndSori]

Truuuu

[@MooseyFate100]

Cool to see you mention Jordan Peterson

[@VinAndSori]

Definitely..... the podcast will feature some clips of his for sure

[@Jason17300]

Shill

[@jaymz1251]

Both of your intellectual abilities are far superior to Peterson. Captian word salad himself, surface leave stuff is fine, but as soon as he starts talking about "metaphysical substrates" he's just making shit up. You're better then that.

[@automaticwriting4345]

Jordan is a total meme.

[@kev25811]

Jordan Peterson is straight up poison. All that aside, this was a wonderful discussion.

[@johny7116]

This is excellent. I had the biblical referencing of “right in two,” but never made the leap to “surrender” when thinking about the Mom giving up the child. This makes the solution so much more personal. Thank you for this.

[@TheAquaponic1]

I have been watching a lot of different KZbinrs reacting to great bands that have been a part of my daily listening since their release. I suppose the thing I have to equate to the overwhelming reaction that almost all the channels have in common is, if you don't know, how could you have known? Just like all genres there is good and bad. But what has been missing from pop and hip hop and rap is musicianship and sorry to say, just a lack of any content that makes you think. You would make your whole channel based on Tool reactions. Lyrical content aside, the Sonic side of the band could still take you on the journey you keep experiencing. So much more for Sori to experience. I see the lyrics affecting you but just as with most of us the darker minor chords have affected you emotionally and I think Vin has intentionally pointed you this direction. Vin you are a very good guide so far. As far as your Tool project, that is something else that is missing from popular music. The majority of the bands that have been featured made the album's to be listened to from begging to end. I think you should get your audio and video technically ready and do a whole album live broadcast while you 2 function in the home, maybe say something here and there, but listen and deal with the whole album and then react. I have a suggestion, Mars Volta is very deep but prior to that band the bulk of that band was called At the Drive Inn. One Armed Scissor, do it!

[@VinAndSori]

Ya we are actually on the way right not to situate our technical issues!!! Hopefully we have a quick fix! -Sori🤘🏻

[@TheAquaponic1]

I am sorry I don't know your whole deal. I haven't watched all the vids yet but I noticed in a thumbnail Vin with a guitar. Sori, make him get you a bass guitar, lol. I am a multi instrument musician and have worked with a lot of the bands you you have reacted to. I have interesting insights to behind the scenes of shows with some that someday you would be interested in. So many bands for you to get into. Good job. Oh not that it's what matters to me but, Flyleaf...... You have to start on Flyleaf. Christian band but She will break your heart.

[@VinAndSori]

Noted!!! Lol I just told him u said I need a bass lol!!! -Sori🤟🏻

[@lucaspegoretto1561]

i love your videos because you always show points of view and opinions on the songs that i never really thought about on my own, and then i get to appreciate them even more! thats amazing, keep on!

[@VinAndSori]

Thank you !!

[@lucaspegoretto1561]

oh btw: Intension is the music that comes right before Right in Two and it works like an introduction. Id recommend to give it a listen altogether! :)

[@VinAndSori]

I’m starting to notice a pattern .... 🧐

[@JtOrem]

I love you guys lol

[@VinAndSori]

Love you right back friend!!! -Vin

[@JtOrem]

VinAnd Sori when my band records our ep. Please let me send you a copy I think you guys will appreciate it :)

[@VinAndSori]

Absolutely !!! We’ll play it in the background of the podcast! What’s the name of the band ?

[@JtOrem]

VinAnd Sori we haven't got one yet lmao its honestly the hardest part of being in a band were set to start recording a 4 song ep. starting May 5th we've only been together 2 months but the guys are world class and the name still eludes us lol gotta let the name find you I guess

[@JtOrem]

But none the less I would appreciate that so thanks looking forward to more content from you guys :)

[@nicklong4281]

I gotta say. Watching you guys feel the music itself was awesome.

[@VinAndSori]

Ya seriously we love music! And I love that u all experience it with us over and over. It’s such a cool thought...like we defy time in some way cause we capture moments on video. All our love -Sori❤️🤘🏻

[@facelift5628]

repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to live tonight in heaven concious of his fleeting time here.

[@facelift5628]

they fight till they die over wind, over sky, they fight over life, over prayer, over air and light, over love, over some, over none, they fight till they die, over what? over writing.

[@VinAndSori]

What’s your interpretation? -Sori✌🏻

[@facelift5628]

VinAnd Sori this song is the angels watching us. Repugnant is a nice way of saying they find it disgusting how humans squander an opportunity in heaven knowing how short a life we live

[@VinAndSori]

Yes I def think your right!

[@dirtyswar]

"Repugnant is a creature that would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here"

[@massivemike7358]

Wow. Wonderful to see the effect the lyrics have on you. True poetry. Great art.

[@jamieperdue8663]

If God made us in his image and chooses us over the angels and angels are jealous of us humans, Would they might refer to humans as "talking monkeys" in a condescending jealous way? Especially is they are questioning our behavior in light of that.

[@VinAndSori]

Whoa! Very good point !

[@158102262]

Or perhaps us humans are monkeys compared to angels. Monkeys are unevolved humans. Maybe it's saying us humans are the unevolved state of an angel

[@VinAndSori]

Isn’t it amazing how art can take so many meanings ?

[@dirtyswar]

Satan was that jealous Angel...think about that

[@VinAndSori]

Also a good angle.... what’re you thinking?

[@stevenwilliams1805]

"traumatized my brain, and then fascinated it," is a great way to express standing on the precipice of the void, and not looking away.

[@mr.bubblzz9325]

hey! i'm a muslim :) i appreciate you taking the time to read the quran ;)

[@VinAndSori]

Yes of course! Glad you’re in the channel ! Me and Sori send you our salaam! ✌🏾-Vin

"Why did Father give these humans FREE WILL, now they're all confused" "Father blessed them all with REASON, and this is what they choose" "How they survive so misguided is a mystery. Repugnant is a creature who squander the ability to lift an eye to Heaven conscious of his fleeting time here" Polarity "Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled." - The Kybalion. The Divine Paradox "The half-wise, recognizing the comparative unreality of the Universe, imagine that they may defy its Laws - such are vain and presumptuous fools, and they are broken against the rocks and torn asunder by the elements by reason of their folly. The truly wise, knowing the nature of the Universe, use Law against laws; the higher against the lower; and by the Art of Alchemy transmute that which is undesirable into that which is worthy, and thus triumph. Mastery consists not in abnormal dreams, visions and fantastic imaginings or living, but in using the higher forces against the lower - escaping the pains of the lower planes by vibrating on the higher. Transmutation, not presumptuous denial, is the weapon of the Master." - The Kybalion.

[@VinAndSori]

Whoa, where’s that from ?

[@crowbear516]

VinAnd Sori The Kybalion. Said to be the essence of Hermes Trismegistus' teachings, referred to as Hermeticism. Got the quotes from kybalion.org Can't recommend reading it enough.

[@LuquidLumination]

Did you just quote the kybalion??? No one ever knows about that hermetic masterpiece. You are awesome

[@LuquidLumination]

@@VinAndSori the kybalion by the 3 initiates is a short book telling the 7 principles of the universe in the hermetic philosophy. It's a very amazing read and is the basis of alchemy and metaphysics science. I'd suggest it strongly

[@LottoBartoLotto]

I just read that a month ago. Really mind opening.

[@munkeeBraynStoo]

You should hear the version of this by Beard of Harmony. It's acoustic and freaking AWESOME. You should also watch the animated video for this. It explains everything

[@chrismg1980]

Reaction and review are two different words with two different meanings. Are you doing reaction videos, as in first time listening, or are you doing reviews of music you've heard already? Big thing to be clear about for your viewers. I only have interest in watching people experience songs for the first time, also known as a reaction video. Video says reaction, however you kept saying review. Are you reacting and reviewing? You may want to check out other channels so that you have a better grasp on the differences between these two words ;)

[@VinAndSori]

Good feedback, it’s both actually, Sori has never heard any of them, and honestly all the recommends I’m getting, particularly with tool, neither have I. But one of the things we do is also take our first instinct as to the meaning of the song especially if there’s historical context around it. The clarification is important thank you for sharing that !

[@chrismg1980]

I just read what I said and I sounded like an ass, my apologies lol not my intentions. I liked the video, I just spent a little time in the beginning trying to figure out what place you guys were coming from. I like seeing people enjoy my kind of music for the first time. Just some friendly advice, maybe put "reaction/review" in your title. Some do, but to be honest, putting "react" is good enough, because giving a "review" naturally happens by the person "reacting anyway."

[@VinAndSori]

No you didn’t, it’s important for us to know. We’ve been at it for three weeks, we have so much to learn! Thank you seriously Brother 🤘🏾-Vin

[@bobloblaw7465]

Glad yall expand your horizons. This song as well as pretty much every Tool song gives me chills. Maynard is a weird guy, but can write the hell out a song. Talent knows no bounds. Plus Danny Carey, on drums, well...you heard it.

[@sethbowman950]

Once again i’ve watched this video twice like all the others. You two just put so much into your explanations and analysis that it’s so intriguing to hear it dissected so much. thank you so much and please keep doing more tool! :)

[@VinAndSori]

Keep a heads up for the podcast !

[@scottwerner1635]

So excited y’all did this. When I suggested it I had no idea you already had it in the works. Great minds you know... ;) I friended you guys on Facebook and definitely hit the like on the “Tool Project”. Can’t wait for that by the way!!! Hope you both are well!

[@VinAndSori]

It’s going to be a great experience!!! I can’t wait!!! -Sori✌🏻

[@OneMansLoss]

Guys, it is an honor to hang out and talk relevance with you.

[@dukeofdeath276]

First time i've ever seen a video from u. Best reaction videos yet. Kept it light and fun, and still made valid and educated points and ideas. Def b watching more of u!

[@nfortin24]

I just love the image (in my head) of a couple Angel's looking down just lamenting on the human race

[@dfbovey]

As an artist who has bands like Tool playing in the background while I create almost constantly, sometimes I don't even realize how much their music comes out in what I create. Whether it be in the subject matter or even my brush or pen strokes being done in rhythm with the music while I create. They are truly an inspiration for me. And it's really cool to see you guys digging into them so passionately. Fun to watch. And I'm happy to lend my art to the cause. Thanks for the shout out. Watching the reaction now! :)

[@VinAndSori]

Seriously blown away by your art! I’ve always had art in my soul but haven’t really found the best/most talented way to express it! Thanks for letting us enjoy it!!! -Sori🤘🏻

[@dfbovey]

I think it's always interesting to think of the human condition... but really a lot of things we call the human condition exist within the animal kingdom. The territoriality, the violent solutions. As advanced as we get, with all the different types of technological weapons of war we create. We're just monkeys fighting monkeys when it comes down to it. We can't advance past our animal programming. One thing I absolutely love about this whole album is the use of tabla.

[@VinAndSori]

What’s tabla !

[@dfbovey]

Tabla is a form of drumming originated in India

[@dfbovey]

My pleasure! Art is for sharing and most fun when shared with like minded people :)

[@southbayspike]

This is the first video I’ve ever seen by the two of you. I hit subscribe because of how in-depth you chose to dive in. I appreciate those personal insights.

[@VinAndSori]

Really appreciate that! Thank you !

[@VinAndSori]

Btw how’d you find us

[@southbayspike]

VinAnd Sori It popped up on my home feed as a recommendation. I suppose it is because I’ve been watching a lot of reaction videos lately. To me, your reaction is in earnest. Others approach with closed minds.

[@VinAndSori]

Thank you

[@stevensteward1307]

Does anyone else view this story as Lucifer speaking to angles before he fell? Then could the line "cutting our love right in two" refer to Lucifer falling? Or is that just me?

[@fraters3025]

Excellent reaction and analysis of the lyrics. Tool is my favorite band and I agree that this song in particular has a great theme that isn't necessarily as obscure as some of their other ones, but still gets you thinking about the human condition and state of the world, which everyone can or should relate to. This is exactly what Tool wants you to do with their music, first enjoy the groove, then let their art and lyrics immerse you in their world. I enjoyed this as my first video from you guys and subscribed. Thank you.

[@coldwaterjpl7916]

I think the thing with the angels is just a way to deliver an outside perspective. It's a cool and clever way.

[@keonimcmanis5199]

Lateralus is going to blow your minds. Can’t wait to see the reaction. Just found you guys yesterday and appreciate how in depth you guys get with analyzing the music and lyrics. . Keep up the great videos.

[@VinAndSori]

Thanks! How’d you find us ?

[@keonimcmanis5199]

Trying to find avenged sevenfold-Exist reactions and found your videos for the Rev and the stage.

[@VinAndSori]

Cool !

[@keonimcmanis5199]

Glad I stumbled upon your videos. Great substance and conversation between you two.

[@isaiakrozell2409]

VinAnd Sori. I just found your channel. I love you both!!! This song is so damn beautiful, it breaks my heart sometimes listening to it. And like what you guys ate doing, alloooot! I wish i had the resources now to do something similar myself, but i dont feel too bad cause that will come for me. But you guys are doing it, and it lights up my heart. Rock on ladie and gentillman. 👽👀👌
