K. Ewertowski I think 1/3 of 10,000 sounded like equal parts stagnation and regression. Another 1/3 was self-indulgent. While, the final 1/3 is genuinely “different”, if not a natural-sounding progression from what preceded it with Lateralus. However, overall, I think the new album from TOOL sounds like a band trying to “sound like TOOL.”

[@bluegreenglue6565]

Literally only the 2nd song I've heard by Tool. I like it. A lot.

[@escher2112]

Be prepared - Tool will latch on and change you from the inside out. I've been a fan since the beginning.... Just be careful not to take too much of other people interpretations... let it speak to YOU. Its all excellent, but the early stuff had more angst / fight the machine of society / religion messages... that slowly evolved into more self introspection and betterment (with some good f-the system bits here and there)... If you really want to go on a journey - listen to "The Patient".... Shoot - just binge all of Lateralus... Some high points (from all albums) Sober, The Pot, The Patient, Jimmy, 46&2, H, Schism, Pneuma, 7empest..

[@frontline989]

“Saturn Ascends” is Saturn returning, astrology. It means saturn returns to meet your natal self. This happens about every 27-29 years. It brings you back to your birth place, a place for you to either grow and change or continue to make the same mistakes.

Or, it could mean that it takes 29 years for the planet Saturn to orbit the Sun and it will never and can never meet your natal self or bring you back to your birthplace because it's simply a planet in space that has absolutely nothing to do with human life on Earth. I know this because it's 2020 and anyone with any common sense whatsoever knows that Astrology is and always has been complete and utter bullshit.

[@stevetoth7136]

Aenima and Lateralus are companion albums in a way. And The Grudge (first song on Lateralus right after which came out after Aenima) perfectly shows and explains how, bridging the gap. Ill explain, made me appreciate and love both even more once i really realized this, hopefully itll do the same for you. Aenima is total pessimism. Burn it all, flush it all away, as a mentality. Angry album. But then Lateralus came out and it is all about letting go, and being zen and realizing theres more to the world and conciousness you can aspire yourself and your surroundings to. Its truly an amazing musical progression of a band those back to back (amazing) albums and how distinctly diff their messages and feel are. And how deliberate Tool made them that way. (And 10,000 Days which came 5 years later is all about his mother's 30 years dealing with paralysis then finally dying, and is sort of his emotional release all about all of it)

[@fixxxt]

As a long-time Tool fan, I am hard pressed to find a "bad" song in their catalogue. There is something to like in every song, but this, this song, is a top tier song. As anyone familiar with Tool knows, lyrics are sometimes intentionally vague leaving them open to interpretation. I've been listening to this song regularly since it came out in 2001. Jamal, I think you hit it when you were talking about letting the grudge go. The part in the song where Maynard sings "Give away the stone Let the oceans take and transmutate this cold and fated anchor Give away the stone Let the waters kiss and transmutate these leaden grudges into gold," is such a cool collection of lyrics. I think when he sings about the oceans, he means being vulnerable and being in touch with emotion, letting the tears flow (ocean). Then he says transmutate, which is a nod to alchemy (the science of turning lead into gold). So basically the way to let go of the grudge is to not fear your emotions, don't let your pride stand in the way of healing, cry it out and transmutate these leaden grudges into gold. They always make you think, which is one reason this never gets old. I swear I appreciate each song differently each time I listen. I am so grateful to you, Jamal, for reacting to Tool. I love how you appreciate their art and attention to detail. This band is special, and you see that. Although there is so much more to say about this song, I'll spare you. Great reaction. Thank you.

[@PiningAway462]

When you are born Saturn is at a certain place in space, it takes Saturn approx 28 years to return to that exact position. It's a time of reflection ( see what I did there, also a great song ) Saturn ascending and then returning is a chance for you let go of the past and move on and evolve. I think. The choose one or ten has to do with kaballah and the tree of life. The first sphere of the tree being keter or " crown " and the tenth is yesod which is seen as a vehicle that allows movement. Perhaps moving beyond the grudge you were holding. Makes sense in the context of the song

[@clipcalhoon]

And he screams for 28 secs at end

[@ahaugrud]

'Saturn' was also likely intended to reference the Tree of Life. Each sephira on the tree has an associated planet, and the one that is associated with Saturn is the 3rd sephira, Binah. It is generally thought to represent understanding or contemplation. I'm sure that the "comes back around" part is a reference to Saturn's astrological orbit, but I think the reason he mentions Saturn to begin with is probably due to its significance in the Kabbalah Tree of Life.

[@Jess-gf4os]

Yes

[@joeyb8225]

Double meaning. Saturn is also the representative of the middle finger in palmistry. So, Saturn ascending is basically giving the finger to someone. You can choose the one (giving the finger) or the ten to embrace (or open all ten fingers to let it go). But, your take is correct for the second and third time he sings about Saturn.

[@giovannadi1762]

I love watching your Tool reactions (all the others too), but I especially love seeing you experience theirs for the first time.

[@davidbailey6397]

Interesting that you mentioned Area 51. The theme on this tour focused on a lot of extraterrestrial imagery .One of the interludes on this album ,Faaip De Ooid,is a recording of a caller into paranormal radio host Art Bell’s show back in the 90’s trying to warn the listeners of an alien takeover. The broadcast gets cutoff by an unknown source while the caller is freaking out . He had claimed he used to work for Area 51 and the government was spying on his activities. Tool had originally wanted to use the interlude using Enochian chanting,but their sound engineer freaked out claiming aliens were stalking him. They changed it to this recording.

Hey J/J Loving your reactions and just the pure joy and excitement you show while discovering new music. I think you’re as much a Tool fan as anybody, your ‘interpretations’ are as valid as any. Holding onto a grudge is a waste, holding on too long will change you. Dealing with a grudge in the right way is to let go, to drop that weight you’ve been carrying. Inflexible entrenchment vs foundational growth. The Saturn thing I think is from astrology, from a concept they call the Saturn return. Basically the same thing about holding onto grudges, letting negativity control you can change you

Saturn is the task master in astrology. It symbolizes life lessons. Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn (10th sign/10th House). Saturn comes back around every 28-30 years, and starts the new life cycle. 0-30 Youth, 30-60 Adult, 60-90 Elder etc. The 1st House is the ascendant and symbolizes the life path and body. The 10th House symbolizes the reputation and life's work. In numerology both 1 and 10 (1+0) equates to 1, which symbolizes the individual and leadership. One can not be a leader to others (10th House) nor to the self (1st House) if you carry a grudge of the past. Choose 1 or 10, or be humbled again by Saturn's life lessons.

Holding grudges has been likened to taking poison in the hopes the other person will die.

Saw them live in Newark, NJ last November and it was an experience of a lifetime. According to them this song is their masterpiece to date.

[@mkswk09]

majorbigss1 My favorite too! Source??

[@laicifo1]

Bro, please react to "Hatesong" live in Chicago by Porcupine Tree. I also recommend the french band Gojira, you should begin with "Explosia" or "Silvera"

[@Malkom1366]

Lateralus is where Tool turned the corner from metal to Prog metal, as far as I'm concerned. You can see on Aenima where it was starting to head that way, but it was really Lateralus that cemented their reputation for being pioneers and pushing the musical thresholds that they do. So glad you have been enjoying them and helping spread the love around the Internet.

Silverchair "tomorrow" - Official video .... 15 year old Australian kids making grunge music their debut song from early 90's. Thanks Jamal

If your getting the chats then you have to get the dune rats . Good fun stoner film clips

If we are going Aussie why not Frenzal Rhomb?

Dude, you hit it right on target! Your perspective comes across as being very intellectual. I'm loving watching all the black folks reactions. I'm a 44 year old white hipster and man this band brought me some much needed wisdom in my late teens.

[@amgleft]

Oh dude! You gotta do The Patient off the same album!

[@invsibl_monstrs]

Man, I just gotta let you know... your reactions bring me so much joy. I really enjoy and appreciate seeing you discover all of this different music. This song in particular, I remember the first time I heard it, I reacted very much the same way. Thanks and stay safe!

[@DocRobert]

That moment at 5:42 always finds everybody’s stank face

[@joehynes5452]

I've heard this song a thousand times and that transition gets me Every. Single. Time!!

[@IrishRusskiy]

I second that or third that

[@Jrup2110]

100% yes

[@bringeroflighteternal9789]

Jamal , this is your boy representing from The big The bad Citayyyy of L.A., I think we almost the same age Jamal , so you know as much as I know there was only one objective to worry about when we were growing up and that was to survive. Glad we made it. Hey Jamal, you are hearing one of the most innovative dynamic different sounding bands of out time, every single one of these guys are incredible musicians in their own rights, the drummer is freaking insane, the singer is one of the most intelligent creative song writers I've heard. All his lyrics have some deep meaning, not to mention his incredible voice. Guitarist and Bassist are so bad ass too. Yeah Tool has been in it's own category for awhile, that ses alot. Jamal you have a great sense of what makes music good, I noticed you appreciate the dynamics , the transitions, the creativity , and the music overall. You dont have any biases that would prevent you from taking it all in and then judging for yourself. I am impressed with your skills . Great Video Jamal , PEACE

Mountain song

[@Raksasa187]

its funny, because i used to be a HipHop listener than dipped my toes into nu-metal with Korn en Deftones, then following Deftones and witnessing their growth while discovering bands like Tool just gave me the same feeling....HipHop didn't hit me the same as before, it almost feels empty in a way. Still, i dont mind a banger every now and then, but men, musically this music has so much more to offer.

[@SkindrixX]

That little jump you had when the song first started had me cracking up Edit: watched it again , could of been a hiccup

[@milo-kf3wc]

I used to put this album on to fall asleep. So incredible!

[@writegirl2937]

How about some “Average White Band”; with Schoolboy Crush?.....And some Chicago; with that badass horn section??

[@ExpectTheSpanishInquisition]

Average White Band's BEST song (imo) "If I Ever Lose This Heaven".

[@writegirl2937]

Shelley Fowler .....Yes, Lawd! That’s another great one by them! The AWB never let me down. Those guys got me through junior high and high school!

dude, if you haven't seen Tool live, you have to next time you can! It's an out of this world experience! Greetings from Ecuador! 🇪🇨

Your Tool journey isn’t complete until you’ve reacted to Parabola, Decending, Cullng Voices or 10,000 Days Wings pt. 2

[@colin8007]

The Goat agreed-10,000 days parts one and two together

[@inthedream9127]

Colin for sure

[@boristalarmin]

Thank a lot for reacting to this song! It's one of my favorite from Tool. Great channel. Stay safe. Peace from southern France!!

[@kinsa7]

saturn takes 10,000 days to “come back around” the sun once :)

[@I_NeedCoffee]

I really love seeing other people's reactions to things like this. It allows me to see other interpretations of them. It also points out things that I missed and makes me listen it a new way.

[@WojMoj]

Did you hear Us and Them and this on the same day for the first time?? 🤯

[@matthewd6306]

The music of Tool hits your soul like no other if you allow it. Their live shows are an incredibly spiritual experience and definitely worth seeing at least once in your life.

[@tedeis7215]

I used to be confused about the Saturn part too, but it's an astrology thing; "The Saturn Return is when the planet Saturn comes back to meet your natal Saturn. It takes about 29.5 years for this slow-mover to return to where it was when you were born. The Saturn return hits in the late 20s and its impact is felt into the early 30s. During a return, Saturn's energy can pull at you in an even more intense way than usual. It might ask you to know yourself in ways you haven't so far. It might ask you to set limits for yourself. It might ask you to accept a new heaviness, a new maturity, a new sense of responsibility." I'm not into astrology myself, but I appreciate the metaphor of a time/ challenge to grow. To cast off the weight of our 'grudges', to grow by letting go.

[@AlabasterJazz]

You got to love that primal scream at the end. The absolute internal rage it takes to truly let go of a grudge that you have been holding onto, in your core, for your whole life.

[@BattlefieldVietnam1]

Saturn takes 30 yrs to round the sun, the scream at the end is 30 seconds.

[@Spaztiq]

I love how this number keeps growing, last I heard it was 27 years. And the scream is closer to 23-24 seconds, I'm not sure that was an intentional connection. Maynard was just getting rid of the grudge. ^_^

[@BattlefieldVietnam1]

@@Spaztiq just google it, 29.5 yrs and tbh never counted the seconds of the scream haha
