This might be the greatest song ever written 🤘🏻🌀

TOOL's music has been evolving for over 30 years. The newest album is sublime. Say it with me kids... TOOL is Pink Floyd for the new millennium. 🤘🧙‍♂️🤘

This was my favorite track off this album. The "RISE!!!" and "STAY...ALIVE!!!" caught me so hard. Literally felt like my "self" was being called to action. Simply amazing.

One thing about Maynard is that he also knows when NOT to sing. The second half of this song is so epic

saw them in November. Best concert I've been to hands down in my 45 years.

Greatest song I’ve ever heard. You don’t just hear it, you absorb it into your soul. I love almost all Tool songs, and a whole lot of songs by other artists, but this is the absolute pinnacle, IMHO. Spiral out, bro!

Tool’s version of “No Quarter” by Led Zeppelin is amazing

In terms of mix and production this is one of the best Tool has ever released. This sounds so clear but still powerfull, the panoramic mixing is amazing. Also Danny's drumming on this is just next level, especially in the long instrumental part. The way he moves the feel and accentuation is just mindblowing. This quickly became one of my favorite songs. Glad you liked it!

Descending is absolute fire, masterpiece! So was your reaction Sir!

The intro isn't bringing you OUT of the water, its bringing you INTO the water so you can descend with the song all the way to the deepest trenches and depths, to then shoot back out to the surface and back on land...to do what needs to be done if this song galvanized you to action.

As a metal guy for the last 40 years, it's always funny to see people's reactions to "13-minute songs," which, if you grew up with Rush and Iron Maiden, is pretty average :)

I’m so happy to be here to witness you go through your TOOL journey… So many more trips to take. I’ll be here… One of many traveling companions. TOOL ARMY!

Everyone asks the same question..."how do these songs keep getting better and better? "

One of my favourite of the last album ....a real journey through music

I appreciate your reaction my man. We relive our first Tool experiences through you. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. Spiral out my friend.

Tool IS the most Incredible group of Genius Musical Artist`s of our Time....period!!!

If you thought Adam’s guitar was crying in Descending, wait until you hear 7empest.

The quiet parts and the transitions are immensely important to their compositions, this really can't be overstated! Tool are masters of space, timing and most importantly TONE!

I think MJK should be nominated for some literary prize for the lyrics in this one. It's like poetry.

Hendrix was innovative and soulful I think Prince when I hear Adam on this. Soulful and technical like Prince who obviously loved Hendrix

Brings tears to my eyes listening to this song, like a spiritual experience that’s hard to articulate

I think the emotion that comes through the instrumentation is amazing- as you said “Artistry”. These aren’t just songs.

This is one of my top Tool tracks! I love to listen to this album on road trips!

My favorite Tool guitar solo, so glad you found it profound too

I love their "Holy Trinity" *Invincible, Descending and Culling Voices* Is like their Holy Trinity². With the 2 together, I like to think one is a *As Above* version and one is *So Below.*

Please listen wings for marie 1 & 2. Both. Goosbumps 100%

My favorite Tools song. This is a prophecy about the slumber of the west while enemies attack us from within and without. Sound the dread alarm.

Tool is epic and much like a fine wine gotten better over the years. From seeing them in 2003 to 2023. Wow best show I have seen hands down!! See them in concert before they are no more.

yeeeesss .......... you´re in the rabbit hole, dude ...... enjoy

"Oooh, come on Danny!" You're hooked. I love it!

Your reactions are dope dude. Genuine. Ive seen so many reaction channels who have learned to make faces and act surprised ans say they have found something. If thats what youre doing you deserve an Oscar because it comes off as 1000% sincere. You da man.

You'll love Tempest, cause as the title suggests you'll experience the atmospheric conditions of the storm coming Adam does like a 5min solo and created a soundscape with the music, plus Danny of course brings the thunder with the drums, and this song won a Grammy for best rock/metal song in 2019

Tool has absolutely mastered their talents, no one compares. One of the best, if not the best, band of my lifetime. #JustinMaynardDannyAdam

Welcome to Tool Army bro!! Been on this journey 30+ years and it only gets better. This is an inner journey that every person feels differently. Still gives me chills

Thank you for showing so much appreciation for Adam Jones on this song. I sometimes feel like he's sort of the unsung hero of so many tool songs, and I think this song in particular is his absolute best work to date. Being in a band with 3 other musical geniuses can make it easy to get overshadowed. I know Adam Jones isn't one of the greatest guitar players ever, but he gives each song exactly what it needs. He's so creative and has such a specific sound you know immediately it's a tool song even if you've never heard it before the second you hear Adam. I also found your goku/vegeta analogy particularly funny. Great video, keep it up! 🤘

"Descending" lyrics ↔️ Free fall through our midnight This epilogue of our own fable Heedless in our slumber Floating nescient we free fall through this boundlessness This madness of our own making Falling isn't flying Floating isn't infinite Come our end suddenly All hail our lethargy Concede suddenly To the quickened Dissolution pray We mitigate the ruin Calling all to arms and order Drifting through this boundlessness This madness of our own making Sound our dire reveille Rouse all from our apathy Lest we cease to be Stir us from our Wanton slumber Mitigate our ruin Call us all to arms and order Sound the dread alarm through the primal body Sound the reveille To be or not to be Rise Stay the grand finale Stay the reading of our Swan song and epilogue One drive to stay alive Elementary. Muster every fiber Mobilize Stay alive Stir us from our Wanton slumber Mitigate our ruin Call us all to arms and order

Your reaction to this song is exactly what this music is made for. I got to relive my first hearing of this again vicariously through you. So brilliant. ❤

This song is on HEAVY rotation in my life. "RISE" "One Drive to stay alive" Rise, resonates.

Great reaction. There are many elements to Tool's greatness but the icing on the cake is the tone of their instruments. I love the tone of Danny's drums, Adam's guitar, Justin's bass and of course Maynard's voice.

This my favourite tool track beat no quarter and the grudge by a bit when it released but still remains my top 1 song... its a slow burn (all this albums songs are) but so worth it

Funny how you started out with "13 MINUTES? Idk... I'll do my best"... 6 minutes later... That guitar! It's crying! Let's take that back" 😂😂😂😂

Priceless Reaction! Now you have to see it live to truly understand what you're hearing and feeling!

there is tool, and then there’s everyone else…saw them live in a small club in santa barbara in ‘95, never looked back

Thank you for rewinding that beautifulness again, even after the song was over 🙌 🔥

The peak is the most greatest thing I've ever heard... goosebumps, to say the least. I feel it like an external part of myself..it's just so profound, I can't find the words to describe it

🎉🎉🎉been looking forward to this

That was a fun live stream. I love how after the Pneuma drum cam reaction Mugs started to mention Danny by name. Now after this one he sure knows Adam's name>

"Like Vegeta and Goku" Omg i love your reactions to Tool so much! And this DB reference has made me like you even more!

The crying guitar in the last 3 minutes is some of the best music ever created

E P I C 🎉❤ Goosebumps e v e r y t i m e 🤟

How they lay all that down is amazing.

This music will start you on a spiritual journey. Every note has purpose. Just look at their artwork, it’s done by a guy named Alex Grey. It’s mind bending, everyone needs this in their life.

Time is relative 🌀

Great first time reaction! The next time you hear it, it'd be like you haven't heard it before. Its the a trip everytime. Looking for your next tool reaction! 🖤 Maybe 'Bottom' from Undetow album.

Gogeta reference was awesome , big fan of tool and grew up watching Dragon ball , I'm your big fan now.

First time I heard this song was 2018 live at Pine Knob MI. It blew me away and still get chills when I listen to it. My second favorite Tool song to Pushit.

This song and Pneuma are the culmination of TOOL’s discography

So much thank you so much for this amazing reaction. It would be the best surprise ever after a long day at work to see that you reacted to another tool song. Please do more.🤩

"Danny and Adam did the fusion dance on this one!" Priceless!!

What is truly amazing is how beautiful their musical creations are. I find myself comparing all other music of our age to tool and a majority of it cannot reach the level of artistry Tool is on. I'm thoroughly thankful to be able to experience them live.

My friend, you are ready for "Rosetta Stoned" by Tool!

My favorite tool song is whichever one I just listened to…… and then I listen to another 🌀🌀🌀

This thang is a masterpiece, all around, over all, insane, honesty this band is somehow healing, being getting me through some BS for years and years most of my life, not sure how they even do it lol, f..king amazing, also dead @ Adam Hendrix

No one expects the greatest song ever written to be 13minutes long...

The journey is real mate 🤘🤘 Suggest Pushit (studio version) then the live (Salival version), similar to what you did with Pneuma 🙏

TOOL is amazing! You really have to listen many times and read the lyrics, they have over 30 years of great music and have evolved, I listen to TOOL daily like medicine to your mind!

Seeing you run it back and vibe out to the ending again brought a big smile to my face, much love brother!

So glad you got to this! Enjoy the ride 😊

You need to hear og TOOL, listen to Cold and Ugly its a live song from 91. Raw and angry, you'll dig it

My fave sing from new album, just came across your videos yesterday and I'm loving them

Invincible next ;-) .... this is tool trance ...

One of Adam's best pieces

There’s a video that came out shorty before this album was released where Adam Jones is practicing the guitar part that starts at 17:41. I can’t tell you how hyped I was the first time I watched that video

❤your reaction brought tears to my eyes! We are one!

My favorite on the album, and that's a tough choice! Invincible is a close 2nd for me, but this one just hits different! That synth interlude is prime Tool sound for me 🔥

Time does not pass while you’re listening to TθθL. It is conceivable to achieve immortality by creating/playing a mix wherein there are no gaps between their songs.

I believe this song is a rant about humanity being very lazy and lethargic about life, how we dont strive to achieve very much except our own survival. How we have grown apathetic to life. Maynard uses a lot of reference words for sinking and falling into this apathy, hence "Descending".

I really don't know how anyone tops this. Can't get enough of it.

Just came to say hey lol Thanks for your perspective on this song never realized falling isn't flying floating isn't infinite, I thought it was a metaphor for darkness hence descending but like with the water intro now I'm starting to realize it's both

Any other band would be lucky to have one member of TOOL, and TOOL has all 4. It’s almost not fair. The pinnacle of musical creation.

Spot on! Love your reaction! Tool fan for life!

Thank you for an amazing reaction to this fantastic song, Praise Adam Hendrix! :D

I was fully transported seeing them perform this live in November.

Bro I could watch your reactions all day! Lifelong Tool fan of 30 years and to watch new listeners appreciate genius is awesome! Best track they've ever recorded!

My favorite Tool track... you got here FAST!

Yeah, been waiting on this one!!

There's a difference between listening to a song and actually hearing a song.. you, sir, HEARD the song! His voice is an instrument and their instruments have voices. ❤

This track is truly excellent, seriously one of the best from an album chock full of epics.

THIS IS THE ONE!!!.. TEMPEST NEXT!!

Maynard, Justin and Adam are brilliant But everybody always waits for Danny to do something extraordinary

this song gives me goosebumps in multiple spots every fucking time.

It was my pleasure to enjoy this song with you. A lot of people just can't hang. ;)

They did that gogeta fusion 😂😂😂

I started chuckling when I heard you say, "Fire, fire solo!" I'm over here thinking, oh man, you're just about to get into the REALLY good stuff!

Bruh, your reactions have become my favorite. You interpret music so well. Much respect, keep doing what you do.

Justin holds the whole song together. He's glue on this tune.

Thanks for the video man, thoroughly enjoyed!

Brother, your reactions just make me fucking happy. Thank you.

Mentioning Justin, just to do so. Equal genius. This band...given me so much it's legit insane.

Justin was killing it too…don’t forget him!
