If you want to hear the "guitarist flex" listen to 7emptest from the same album. Adam just takes you into a whole different plane. Tool won a Grammy for this song, "Best Metal Performance". I've been following you for a bit and I love how you marry the emotional reaction the music evokes along with your life's journey. Keep it up man. You are appreciated. Kids will sleep, everything normalizes. Enjoy the ride for now. You'll miss it in 20 years. Believe that.

[@RonRezendes]

THIS x infinity!!

[@theseabast6515]

One of the most emotionally powerful songs I've ever heard. The music says more than any lyrics could in the second half. Maynard is good enough to realize that, I think.

[@voidwraithprime8521]

This song, to me, is a call for unity after it's most likely too late. To stop fixating on what separates us and work together for the betterment of our planet and species. It's a call that goes unanswered, and the second half of the song is the passing of millennia. The ending waves symbolize something new crawling ashore to try again...

[@billsultzbach7079]

Ditto

[@nutrybe]

I LOVE this interpretation! I thought exactly what you stated in the first half of your statement but hadn't thought of the time passing through the millennia and the waves crashing for life to try again part. Very good! 👏

[@JaviBee]

You put into words exactly how this song makes me feel. It’s about how desperately we need to fix our world, how we need to better ourselves for future generations, before it’s too late. Climate change is scary stuff man

[@TheSkinnychef1620]

This album is wildly prophetic. I have to say, I see little of the "climate change" interpretation of this song. Maynard's got a long established history of using easy to understand language to point to a deeper, internal message. This song, to me, as about the societal collapse that inevitably occurs as a result of the breakdown of the individual's responsibility and self-discipline. If you can't master yourself, fixing the climate is far beyond your capacity to manage.

[@heathhooper3699]

When I hear the gong crash at about 12:00, I imagine Maynard just eyeballing the @#$@ of me and pointing to the horizon. Go. Go do the thing that I just told you to do. Do better. also, interesting interpretation about the 2nd half of the song. I'll have to thing about that next time I listen to it. . I like to compare Maynard on 'Aenema' to this track, and how the passage of years has changed him from 'let California crack off and drown' to 'sound the alarm.' That's why I take a more optimistic interpretation.

[@plexus]

Also, when you actually get to do Fear Inoculum, keep in mind they released the album in September 2019, right BEFORE COVID was even a thing .

[@uncletaco916]

Descending is my #1 on top of a lot of masterpieces. #2 is one you haven’t gotten to yet. Waiting patiently for ‘The Patient’. Best of luck on your journey and we’re here for it.

[@coolhand62]

One thing about Descending, the song is cut EXACTLY into 2 pieces. The first half is the with lyrics and the second half being an instrumental. The song is exactly 13:39 in length. At the 6:49 1/2 minutes Maynard utters the last word 'order', and then the other 6:49 1/2 is the beautiful instrumental. Of course, they did it on purpose, but it's still an interesting fact about the song. It has become my favorite tool song, as it is hard to beat such a masterpiece. When I listen to the second half, I imagine being on a raft heading down, river, but I have no oars, so the currents control the craft. At one point in the song, and if you listen, you'll be able to figure it out, but at one point the raft goes over a waterfall, and then eventually reaches the end of the river which drains into the ocean. It's quite the ride! Rock on! Personally, I would not have told you to listen to the new stuff yet. It seems too early in your journey to take up the broad strokers. Everyone now will be begging for Invincible or 7empest, both from Fear Inoculum, but you should really listen to more of the older tunes. There's plenty to choose from. Then circle back later with these newer pieces. Keep everyone waiting. lol You can't make a bad choice, although some might catch you off guard. Any way you proceed, enjoy the ride! BTW, I see you're checking out Baby Metal, but the better Japanese band to check out is Band-Maid. Check out BAND-MAID / Play (Official Live Video) - KZbin , but they do have a lot of awesome tunes!! Seriously, put them on your list. They are the bomb!

[@kevinkennedy1562]

Sebs...first of all, as an OGT it's been so much fun watching your journey with Tool, your reactions showcase what we all love so much about this band. I had a very similar experience with my 1st daughter as you are having now, my wife and I didn't sleep for the first 18 months, we constantanly had to go to doctor visits, the ER, and it was one of the most tramatic experiences of our lives. For now you'll have to embrace the suck, stay positive, be supportive, it's ok to be frustrated with the situation, there are many of us out there that have been through the same. Thank you for making this content, thank you for sharing your life, and thank you for being yourself. Tool will be your best friend for the rest of your life now...you'll also love your APC and Puscifer experiences, Maynard's talent has no bounds. Now go get some rest!

[@mazzaaa3920]

Hey Sebs, glad to be part of your journey with these absolute geniuses, you really get it and that's awesome! I remember you got really emotional with Lateralus, especially the climax, so my recommendation would definitely be Invincible next. That song is just transcendental, no other band would've come up with such a stroke of genius and sensibility. That could be said of pretty much every Tool track, I know, but still 😁 Spiral out man, keep going 💪

[@justinmccln]

This is my personal favorite off of their newest album. Especially considering all of my own personal struggles that ive experienced, this song relates to them well. PS!! Speaking of SYRINGE...look at the Tool logo for that album, split it between the o and the o and fold it on itself.....syringe. For me, this is a song about descending into the madness or the depths of ourselves and MORE IMPORTANTLY realizing when we are at fault and when we are falling so that we may "sound the dread alarm. Mobilize. Call ourselves to arms and order to fight the darkness that is in all of us. One. Drive. To. Stay. Alive. Its elementary"

[@cb4me450]

When my boy was 3-4 months old and wouldn't sleep I used to pace up and down the kitchen with him on my chest and whistle random tunes or specific songs. Worked great after a bottle, esp the early morning ones. Really enjoying your reactions. Depending on your beliefs, the thing you need will either be there if you look for it, manifest through your energy, or will be waiting for you when you are ready. Many people who hear Tool aren't listening, or open to feeling the experience that we love them for. Watching you experience these songs for the first time and sharing these feelings again with someone who appreciates it is a gift. So thank you.

[@snapdraggin795]

My man. I know you said that Pneuma is a big source of your strength for dealing with some of your current difficulties of parenthood and in being the best father you can be for your kids, so allow me to recommend you listen to The Patient off of Lateralus. That song's lyrics will ring very true to you I bet. Definitely for those times when you're at the end of your rope. "I must keep reminding myself..." "If there were no reward to reap, no loving embrace to see me through, this tedious path I've chosen here, I certainly would have walked away by now" Many other people have suggested H. off of Ænima which is absolutely another essential one for your current situation. As someone who discovered TOOL in middle school, learned all their songs by heart in high school and still can't listen to any of them without being absolutely blown away, it means a lot to see someone else getting to experience their mastery for the first time. Keep swinging on that spiral 🌀

Next up: 10 000 days Written after Maynard's mother died. His mother was a profoundly religious woman who became severely paralysed after a cerebral aneurysm. Afterwards she became unable to raise Maynard. Maynard became increasingly bitter/angry with god for punishing the - in his eyes -most devoted follower of his teachings. She kept her faith during her entire - paralysed - life, something Maynard didn't understand and resulted in struggles and discussion between the two. Eventually, when she died, he came to accept her faith and made this song to notify God that one of his most devoted followers was on her way and for him to take care of her. - invincible This song is about ones realisation that he is past his prime self and the internal struggle of holding one to ones ego/pride or letting go and moving on finding a new journey/adventure.

Sebs, I've been watching you on this journey and loving every moment. We waited 13 years for this album to finally come. I still find the title track, Fear Inoculum to be the most moving. It's my go to on this album because of how it moves me. Consider putting yourself in the same situation as us and waiting 13 years for new music by a band we can't get enough of, and then listen to the title track with that kind of anticipation. They released the song about a month before the album came out and it still has me on the floor. Just phenomenal. It's got a groove and beauty that stands out on the album. I listened to it with goosebumps the first time I heard it and every time since. Highly recommend reacting to it and follow along with the words.

[@VatnikSlayer2799]

Maynard once mentioned while being interviewed by Joe Rogan that for people to end the division and come together it would take a cataclysmic event like a meteorite striking and causing significant damage to everyone's daily life. That's how I interpret this song. He's calling out to God or the universe to intervene in some way. The song opens up with waves crashing to the shore. It's like the calm before a meteor strikes and causes significant loss of life. I doubt Maynard actually wants that to occur. The same way that Aenema is not meant to be taken literally.

[@Atom-E.B.E.]

I've seen Adam play synth parts with his foot Pedals and play guitar atThe same time, but I've also seen him with a synth in a stand so it could be either or. Also, Danny his synth triggers on his kit so sometimes he is the one that's responsible

[@LanceThompsonKssooner]

I think at the last show I saw for Fear Inoculum Maynard had a keyboard that he pivots in and out of position. But as always it was hard to see. I could be wrong. Whatever it is, it's hard to believe there are only 3 people playing.

[@robertsaterlie4124]

This song to me is about a call to arms through our collective consciousness to the primal "body" of all of humanity to rise up now and act before it's too late. Not just to rise up off our couches and do something but to rise, ascend in our vibration/energy/spirit; for us to change now and ascend to the next density as our world shifts consciousness and shifts its actual position in the galaxy (check out the Great Year or earth's 26000 year procession) to one of higher electrical energy (Tesla's electric universe theory); the shifting between the age of Pisces and age of Aquarius. The saying goes "we are on this rock flying through space", or floating even. But floating isn't infinite as the movement of our planet is caused by gravity and electrical fields. The gravity of our sun, nearby planets, and each other star continued on to the center of our galaxy, is all pulling us as we fall through this space. Falling isn't flying, we will not float forever. If we want to fly and reach the infinite consciousness then we must wake from this slumber (the saturn frequency), wake from this lower vibrational matrix this world has us in and rise to stay alive, lest this be our swan song and epilogue. This reflects on not only the cosmic transition our planet is going through now, but the associated vibrational and spiritual change, to the current socio and political climate changing as globalism/communism/luciferianism/'cult of El' tries to take over and the world's collective consciousness is beginning to push back and not consent! We may just be in earth's and humanities swan song, "to be or not to be". Will we rise, or descend? The song itself even fights against it's own title as it ascends in tone, energy and speed etc throughout, willing us through all aspects of this song to not descend but to fight against that and ascend.

[@mechnymph]

food for thought at 6:10 IMPO: Tool's music has a definite and unique way of guiding your train of thought onto the rails that gently take you to what they want to show you. Everyone who can connect to this music get's something out of it they can use. Hence Tool. I know you haven't gotten to Lost Keys + Rosetta Stoned, as it's a fun mess around track, not a spiritual journey, but there's a line Maynard says "A message to those that choose to hear it, and a warning to those who do not". With that, and to return to the point of this; It seems like everyone these songs touch reach similar conclusions, albeit from different starting points. Like the Theory of Evolution's convergent evolution, as if it were convergence of ideas from people with different pasts, situations, and conditions who's only connection is Tool. TL;DR: I'm a guy on the internet, blah blah, sciency, spiritual stuff Edit: I've already seen this video 4 times as of writing this, but the reaction is the same as mine, and analysis is spot on, so I keep coming back.

[@rhiannonleejames7173]

'Flood' goes F*CKING HARD.. It's one of their best songs imo.. 🎶 🔧 🌀

[@ChaseVonnegut]

To me the general theme of this song is about being complacent in your own destiny, allowing things to go bad because you were not diligent enough, you allowed the end of your story to be muddled by your own doing/not doing enough. More specifically I think this song is about the lawsuit Tool was in for YEARS that delayed the making/release of this album (their Epilogue of sorts). The lawsuit could have been avoided if they were more diligent I think. The lawsuit could have potentially ended their careers. "Calling all to arms and order" I think has a general meaning of saying "ok it's time to fight and fix this" but also refers to the actual trial/lawsuits like being called to order by a judge.

[@jaydawg116]

This song I like listening to with the position of its at face value. It’s a last battle cry, a call to arms, this is the song to round up every soldier and to charge into the final battle. We are dying today, but we will die on our feet. It’s the answer to invincible. No we are not unkillable, no we are not everlasting, but it’s these last moments that will become legendary. And the somber aura of understanding these are our last moments.

Adam has a floor keyboard arrangement as an attachment to his pedalboard, it looks kind of like the foot pedals on an organ. He does the more mid frequency synth, and I think Danny has something similar and occasionally adds a more bassy synth as well

This is the greatest Tool song ever written. Hands down

Culling voices is a must!

I am pleased to say I saw you go from a little boy to growing hair on your chest since starting your Tool journey a month or two ago. You are ready now, my brother.

I switched every user name I have to this one, the day they released the name of the album. Invincible is another great song off of Fear Inoculum. You should definitely check it out.

To me this song is about our apathy to the planets dying.

I was getting excited that you were getting excited

I had three kids with severe colic. It can be very difficult, I understand. Hang in there, at some point it just starts to get better and then goes away. Love the channel!

I am mom and 24/7 caregiver to my 34 year old autistic daughter; she has been in a manic locked in phase for weeks now, even on meds,and she screams at me 7-12 hours a day at least 4 days a week, wakes me up at 2:30 am shoving her dvd collections in my face and shrieking at me to count the scratches on each disk...she scratches me, throws things at me, and at almost 60 years old now myself, I am TIRED. So I can more than relate to no sleep and stress; when she was between the years of 3-5 she would escape the house at night if we didn't have the doors deadbolted and the door alarms on; one winter night I forgot to lock the back door ( we had all the yard gates locked so she couldn't escape the yard at least) and I awoke to cold air and our dog pawing at me and whining. He led me to the open back door and I ran out in a light dusting of snow and 30 degree temps to see my 3 year old autistic daughter (wearing only nightgown and socks) swinging on her swing set. She smiled at me so happily, and that's been the past 3 decades of my life, loving and fretting over and sometimes losing my mind over this person who has no sense of self preservation or a regular sleep schedule, who throws decibel-shattering screeching tantrums even at 34 years old and then wants a hug and her bowl of animal crackers. Her dad left when she was 5, and 6 years ago I experienced the worst time in my life when our only son died at age 31; and I rarely see my busy youngest daughter who is 32 and lives hundreds of miles away. So it is just my special needs daughter and me now, along with 2 cats and 2 dogs, and when I hear you talk about no sleep with the new baby I am jolted back to the young days of my 3. But your situation will improve, heck, sometimes my 34 year old FINALLY sleeps through the night now, ha! So if this crazy old lady has survived 34 years on an average of 4-5 hours of sleep a night I think you will be fine, baby will work herself out with her sleep patterns by and by and you have a positive outlook to begin with so that helps. My special one is actually asleep early so I am enjoying some rare quiet time not had in recent days. She is ill and just had to have ultrasounds and is looking at probable abdominal surgery in the near future, but that is a worry for another day. Around here I try to go moment by moment most times just to remind myself we're okay NOW and retain my sanity, ha! And watching you enjoy Tool is such a day brightener for me, I love Tool so much. This vid was a lovely antidote to a stressful day waiting ALL day today for a plumber who never showed, sigh, so I guess tomorrow is a new day, and hopefully unclogged plumbing to look forward to!!

There are a number of fantastic songs originating from Maynard's dealing with his mother's situation and the coming about of his son. SO much great music you haven't experienced yet. 🤘🏼

[@mikefromdilley]

I haven’t even gotten to the song and I’m already PUMPED. 🙏🏼🌊

Tragic and emotonially beautiful

Reveille (REH-vah-lee) - is a bugle call, trumpet call, drum, fife-and-drum or pipes call most often associated with the military; it is chiefly used to wake military personnel at sunrise. The name comes from réveille, the French word for "wake up".

[@PongGod]

It seems that we have similar tastes. Pneuma and Descending are my two favorites on this amazing album and two of my favorite songs PERIOD. Masterpieces indeed.

Dude you wanna see Adam flex?? Listen to 7empest Adam goes full beast mode.

[@m.ericwatson968]

Both Danny and Adam do the synth embellishments; Adam uses an Access Virus, Danny has a custom modular analog synth, the bass and "wizzy" stuff is probably the Virus, the really trippy far-out stuff (Chocolate Chip Trip) is the modular synth

Tempest next Please!!!!💯🔥🎶🌀😎

[@jasonleone9943]

What I like to do after hearing a song from tool that has me feeling as you right now, I go out into my backyard, I just stand looking to the sky, close my eyes, focus on relaxing and allow myself to feel the positive energy flowing through the world, and for some minutes I can feel myself in the flow of something bigger than me and it resets any anger or frustrations I'm dealing with because in that moment I realize they are petty. I hope you get what I'm saying here.🤔
