Tool holds a special place in my heart. Like hearing this song and Stinkfist take me back to when I was like 15/16 hanging out with one of my best friends just having a great time doing all kinds of stuff. And because that friend died 7 years ago from a heroin overdose it means even more to remember those times. Hearing this song and some others immediately brings me back to those days, having a good time before things eventually took the turn from recreational fun to dangerous life altering shit.

[@fefefilmprod8688]

Yeah, I’ve been thinking the same thing for awhile. But at this point I think they’ve definitely separated themselves from other bands past and present. In my mind they’ve carried the torch further than Pink Floyd. I’m not talking about album sales or how long they are on the charts. There’s just more people today than before. Their music is reaching a much wider audience. Love them both though. Tool, Faith No More & Pink Floyd are my 1,2&3

Hey man, this one of those times where the reaction was really, really on-point and added something to the song! For context, I'm someone who grew up listening to stuff like this on the radio and on mtv (Back when both were good) and would call myself a casual Tool fan, I guess. I've heard this song hundreds of times I would bet, but I've only really engaged with it on the sonic level: that bassline, that double kick ending, the guitar. I appreciate you taking the time to properly go on the journey that the band wants to take you on! Also, that observation about Maynard being frustrated at the end? Sharp.

[@charlesbrown1726]

Great reaction bro!👍 you get it. I remember seeing an interview with Maynard and the band talking about this song. Maynard said that there was a point in between Ænima and Lateralus where they almost broke up. There was fighting amongst the members. Some felt they were dragging their feet with new material. Then at that time Maynard started A Perfect Circle which seemed like he was distancing himself and focusing on other projects. They admitted that they were close to quitting Tool all together but they stuck with it with open communication and out of the fighting and conflict comes a beautiful and poignant, personal album. “Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion” (such a good fucking line)

[@alexfrank6534]

Errol Brown between “supposed lovers”.

[@ahaugrud]

Are you sure you remember the interview correctly? I'm not trying to be an ass. It's just that every source I've ever seen has said that the issue at that time was because Tool was in a legal battle with its record label. Then after that, they were in a legal battle with their ex-manager. They weren't able to tour or produce a new CD during all the legal crap, which is why Maynard started A Perfect Circle, and Adam and Danny also started working on side projects. But it wasn't that there was fighting among the members (at least, according to any source I've ever seen).

[@blytheguy7510]

This song just doesn't get old no matter how many times I hear it. That bass tone is such a constant. The album Lateralus is a masterpiece. Have you seen their videos or do they block them? I like to think the song is speaking about more than a clash between individuals, but more about human nature itself as a species. The two sides could be a war between countries. Tool has always been about the grand scale of things. The album art is by the artist Alex Grey (you should check out his art). His art usually depicts people without flesh, to show how people are alike inside and removing any visual prejudice one may have. Not only does he depict the muscles, veins, and skeletal structure, but the bigger workings of energy like the electrical structure that we resonate on and create from being alive. Deep stuff, which is why is art is synonymous with Tool most of the time. It's ideas they all share. For example the song Lateralus uses the Fibonacci Sequence to construct the song.

[@TrueEarth2112]

One of their best, maybe the best. That line "Between supposed lovers" is so beautiful and gets me every time. Tool's latest album is the best album I've heard in 10+ years (and their first in 13 years because of legal issues, I guess). They haven't missed a beat. I know you already reviewed 7empest, hopefully you'll get to the other 5 songs as well. Each 10+ minutes and all equally amazing. Fear Inoculum , Pneuma, Invincible, Descending, Culling Voices...

The kobe/shaq thing is 100% on point. Jordan and Rodman never liked each other but there was a common respect and communication on the floor that transcended what they thought of each other personally. 8/24 and 32 could have dominated like no other.

Being in a band is not unlike being in a marriage. There are always disagreements during a creative process, and those can also stall the process. But this song can be relatable to many different types of relationships. The ambiguity as to what kind of relationship about which they are speaking that makes this song so incredible.

[@garyg3468]

Oh mano.. the opening gets me every time and I've been listening to this song for nearly 20 years >XD. It's really hard to pick a favorite Tool song, but this was my 1st and it always hits me like a damn train, that much I know.

I stood outside a local record store, waiting for this album, Lateralus, to be released at midnight! I worked not far from the store, so I left work early that night, so I could be near the front of the line. There were so many people there already, waiting, also! There were several other albums being released at midnight, but the majority of us were there for Tool's album. As soon as I got my copy, I hopped in my car, popped the CD in my CD player, and jammed all the way home!

[@itypewithmykneecaps1]

This album from top to bottom is still the best I’ve ever heard. This song is one of many gems on it.

[@scottnunn7461]

I've been saying this for years... dont think anyone has agreed with me tho 😆 But ya, this is in my opinion the greatest album ever. TOOL bumped their heads on the ceiling of what music can be.

[@AKABoondock19]

Tool is still today THE most underrated rock band of ALL TIME

[@kevinmcgunigal5481]

You're spot on , wether it's friendship or romantic... It's about the breakdown of a relationship and how it can be put back together

[@willtheelectrician8184]

I see TOOL, I click, I like, and I sit back and experience it with my fellow humans. Simple.

[@jacksonpulizzi1696]

Amazing insight so early into the song! Really cool to watch someone who has such an apparently great fundamental understanding of song lyrics!

[@zariqueen]

The time signature changes are rife in this piece, and are AWESOME!

[@michelleholtman1096]

Hope you can see TOOL in concert (IN PERSON!) some day. If they play this song, you'll loose your mind ❣️

[@Djcimofficial]

My favorite TOOL song!!! Was happy I finally got to hear this live on the last tour...

[@rodneywagner1168]

I have been watching you for over 6 months, I love you man! Your reactions are so sincere to some fantastic music from the recent past to my heyday. Rock on Jamel!

[@davidadams2726]

I played this song over and over when my Dad got sick and going through his death. I know the overall meaning wasn’t about that, but it made since to me at the time.

[@FizzyGoggy]

This is one of my favorite Tool songs! Also you should check out The Offspring. Come out and Play, Self Esteem, The Kids are Alright, Want you Bad are all great ones. You'd probably recognize a few songs too!
