This is the first track of their album "10000 days" I asked for my mom for birthday a cd of this album (I had never heard them but I was amazed by the cover art) I planed to listen the album while training my aim in csgo, but after that first heavy riff drops I immediately closed the game, restarted the album and enjoyed the trip

[@PaulGuy]

Tool demands, and deserves, your full attention. Anything less is a disservice to the art.

[@SouthValleyKnifeCo]

Thats pretty much how every album is. Ive been listening to them for 10+ years. They are never background music for me. You sit and you listen.

Maynard is brilliant. Danny is one of my favorite drummers of all time. Sooo many layers. I have been drumming for 20 years and playing tool is always challenging

[@oregondude9411]

I'm in my mid 30s. I've heard many drummers. No one is better than Danny Carey. Period. I will argue that fact forever. If you did a scientific study on drumming, Carey would be the best of all time regardless of any metrics. Technicality, speed, accuracy, complexity, timing.

[@musicmademejester]

I think this is more relevant today than in 2006 when this album came out. Except now it phones, people are so quick to pull out their phone to record a tragedy/fight/someone getting hurt rather than helping. I hate when people do that. There is a time to record something and a time to help or get someone that can help. Then everyone is so quick to watch these videos, consuming them like crack. So in that way, this some very relevant today. Great reaction, great band, great song!

[@RosettaStoned462]

[@edgecrusherhalo]

“Take us on the ride” That’s pretty much every Tool song. It’s a ride. A journey.

[@SecondhandJones]

I highly reccomend listening to every Tool album from start-to-finish, uninterrupted. .....not as a reaction video suggestion, as a general life experience recommendation.

[@matthewsluder6205]

I totally agree

[@TheOriginalEUrban]

That moment in the breakdown when the snare clutches the beat and you went "oh!" Me, everytime.

[@Onikame]

Yep, this is easily one of the most straight forward Tool songs. Sensasionalized news, always reporting on tragedy, and violence, and sadness. All to keep them number up. Keep people tuned in. Who deep down want all that drama in their lives, but are happen it's not happening to them. People will witness an act of violence, and act like it's something that happened to them. People act out empathy, but few really feel it. It's all a show so that people will pay them attention. Cause it's all about me.

[@hoodiejalen366]

This is a great explanation of what this song is really about. Great job 👌

Tool has become my favorite band again, I can't stop listening to the new album everytime I hear something new.

[@simplyhuman3982]

I thought I was a tool fan until the 13 year long late arrival of fear inoculum. Then I realized I just like good music. Everything I have heard from that sounds like a different version of the song reflection to me. Great song, just not good enough to have a whole album based on it. (Not talking about its political points) just the overall sound. However, if by that album they are saying that there is nothing left to say, they have already told us then I get it.

[@DocRobert]

HELLS. YEAH. This is one of my favorite Tool songs, and easily my favorite for the drums. Seriously, listen to that song again some time and just focus on the drums. It’s SICK. This was one of my all-time favorite reactions, dude. This band is deep, and you’re deep enough to get it on the first pass, I respect that. I think Tool is at their best when they are holding up a mirror to America/the modern world, and saying, “This is you. Don’t look away. This is how YOU are.” And this is one of my favorite songs for that, because it’s both evocative and straightforward at the same time, which is not an easy tightrope to walk. Love it, love it, love it. So glad you went down this rabbit hole, man.

[@ndmole]

This, agreed. Everyone gets sucked into the awesome lyrics, but I rate this as one of their best musically. Got to go back and review the music... the tight base lines, the intricate guitar parts, the outrageous drums, and how they all sync together. It's delivered with tempo and precision on the album and translates just as well live.

[@davidkay7123]

IMO the line "the universe is hostile, so impersonal...devour to survive so it is, so its always been." is mind crushing. Just consider supernovae. A big Star dies and many new ones are born out of the remainings. One has to die, before new ones are born. Tool

[@leviathan3630]

He's literally saying eat or be eaten, survival of the fittest.

[@hXcjedi]

You should react to A perfect circle. It's Maynards other band after Tool. The songs "Judith" is very personal to him. Their songs are definitely more straight to the point

'Cause I need to watch things die From a distance Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies You all need it too, don't lie Why can't we just admit it? Why can't we just admit it? We won't give pause until the blood is flowing Neither the brave nor bold The writers of stories sold We won't give pause until the blood is flowing I need to watch things die From a good safe distance Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies You all feel the same so Why can't we just admit it? Blood like rain come down Drum on grave and ground Part vampire Part warrior Carnivore and voyeur Stare at the transmittal Sing to the death rattle La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie Credulous at best, your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men Pull your head on out your hippy haze and give a listen Shouldn't have to say it all again The universe is hostile, so Impersonal. Devour to survive So it is, so it's always been We all feed on tragedy It's like blood to a vampire Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies Much better you than I

This is why Tool can't be matched when it comes to hard Prog rock. Maynard's lyrics are so smart, and then you couple that to an incredible group of three musicians. It's lightening in a bottle.

[@livingbythebaycalifornia]

They use a wide range of Time signatures and tuning that makes them so unique. Maynard's lyrics are spot on for some of the human issues of our society.
