In my opinion, TOOL reactions have got to be RAW - they’re always going to be long videos so I hope you guys whack on some headphones and stick out the duration of the journey with me - 7empest Reaction coming tomorrow guys! I can’t wait to share it with you, absolutely amazing🔥 Enjoy this one for now, chat soon🙏🏻

This album should give them their 4th Grammy.

Love that Metalheads come to Tool for hitting metal riffs and licks and find themselves delving into uncharted territory. There’s is no Metal like Tool Metal

Pneuma, Descending and 7empest are my top 3 tracks from the album at the moment. The whole album is brilliant, they really exceeded my expectations in a big way!!(Tool Fan since 1997) Enjoy the ride Drew!!

aah the three magic words😇😇 "New Tool fan"!!!!

This whole album is a "grower".takes several listens to fully take it in. God bless this band

Your absolutely right about Tool being great driving music alot of their songs are really long but never seem to get old and just take you on a great journey and they've got a ton of them

Pneuma (πνεῦμα) is an ancient Greek word for "breath", and in a religious context for " spirit" or "soul".

pneuma took me a few listens to really love, but now its one of my favorites on the album!

I love how I can be sitting here in Kansas and you're in Ireland and we can both share that which is Tool. So glad you have discovered what is so special about this band.

13 years indeed...totally worth it! Thanks for reacting!💗

My top 3 from this album have to be pneuma, invincible, and descending

The first time I heard it I fell in love. Maynard’s voice and of course Danny’s drums. What until you hear Culling Voices. MJK sounds impeccable! Kind of gives me a vibe of the lead singer of Depeche Mode. Of course nobody sounds like Maynard but I got a hint of that yesterday.

Don’t worry about talking too much or making too much noise. I’ve been obsessed with Tool for years and have watched reactions for years and you’re one of my favourite. You always do a great job, so keep it up mate. Can’t wait for your Invincible reaction, my favourite song on the album. I liked that you were in a car this time as well. Sound was good👍

I’m a silly American. I thought for a split second; “why are you in the passenger seat?”

You're 100% right; this song, like the rest of the album, is a grower. It took me at least 2 full listens through to fully understand and appreciate where they were taking me in each. Now that i have, Pneuma is one of my all-time favs, that guitar lick you mentioned as well as the interludes where Adam plays those sustained notes and Danny goes off both make me feel a sense of catharsis I've only ever felt after listening to songs like Lateralus or Pushit. Glad you're enjoying so far :)

Drew: “I’m just interested to hear how they gonna build up on this...” Me: 😎

Great album. I am down to just listening to it 3 times a day. For many many days I had a 5 time a day habit.

Drew! Sick ass song and review man. This album is super deep and a culmination of everything TOOL has done in the past musically! 7empest is another track where Adam Jones (Guitarist) is at his very best. Lots of blues riffs....

you got to that place where you can just let the song wash over you and chill. youre a lot less expectant now. thats the place to be mentally to really enjoy their music. gotta love prog. never boring when its properly done.

7empest tomorrow. Can't wait drew

This album is TOOL's Magnum Opus.

MY TOP 3 ARE 7empest, Pneuma, Culling Voices, Invincible, Descending, Fear Inoculum, The whole Lateralus Album, 10.000 days, Aenima, Undertow, Opiate, Salival, all demos and bootlegs, the whole A Perfect Circle discography and the whole Puscifer discography... I think i have it. Oh wait, Maynards excellent wine.

This IS a grower....it grew into the most immense, monstrous climax I've heard in a song....besides Invincible and Descending, of course. Dance party in Drew's car! Haha

I personally find that listening to Tool in my truck is a better experience due to pans and dubs with their instruments. Rock on dude 👊 Looking forward to "Descending" reaction.

My favorite thing. Nirvana for the ears. Spiritual experience.

My top 3 off the album 1. Pneuma 2. 7empest 3. Culling Voices

Back when I worked at a college radio station in New Hampshire we used to pop in Tool to give us time to go smoke a J... They were the perfect length.

It’s Tool, just crank it to the max.....simple...

You're in the spiral now, gotta go to the end. Now a Lost Keys (Blame Hoffman) / Rosetta Stoned reaction would be awesome.

Hate trying to classify Tool, but what comes to mind is Progressive Journey Rock. Just made that up but it does feel like a journey for me at least :)

the band is definitely center stage on this album and i love it!

Great reaction mate, I agree completely on what you said about this song being a grower

Pneuma, Descending and 7empest are my 3 favorites on this album for sure.

I never love a song the first time I hear it. It takes time for me. I liked Pneuma quite a lot on the first listen and then proceeded to like it more and more with each subsequent listen. After about the 20th time, I finally had to admit that it's one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. Absolutely majestic and unlike anything else I've heard. I just can't get enough of it. Keep listening and I think you'll develop a similar appreciation for it.

Keep em coming and keep speaking your mind.

My top 3 is Descending, 7empest & Culling Voices or Pneuma

My Tool journey has been fairly similar to yours. I took to Maynard over 5 years ago when introduced to Mer De Noms by A Perfect Circle, then Puscifer, but I hadn't really given Tool much interest since their music wasn't available digitally. That all changed beginning with the Fear Inoculum single, and subsequently album, and Tool vaulted up into my top 3 favorite bands (a list that almost never changes). Every track is a different experience...it's almost impossible to tap to their music with all the changes, but that's also what keeps my mind so engaged in their music. I'm seeing my first Tool concert in early February and can hardly wait! Somehow, I had completely missed out on their music up until recently. My current favorite tracks are 10,000 days and Invincible, but my favorite tracks have already changed numerous times since I began listening to them, including 7empest and many others.

I'm digging the stream of consciousness reaction! 👌

Invincible, culling voices, and chocolate chip trip, do these three in that order if you know what’s best for you, then 7empest

This song is amplified 10 fold live. It's insane.

When you dive into their back catalog don't forget Opiate. I've not seen anyone react to it yet and it's for me their rawest and angriest.

Came for the tool stayed for the appreciation of it

Can't wait for you to listen to Chocolate Chip Trip. Danny just goes off on the drums

Sweet review bro , and the changed scenery was a good idea gives the channel a different vibe but the classic room reaction will always be home to this channel . keep up the good work brother ..

Pneuma is such a great song. The only other bands that comes to my mind with this kind of composition, unpredictable speed/rhythm changes, so many small details, cool driving melodies ... are Porcupine Tree and Pink Floyd. But I tell you, you have to listen this song much much louder. It will give you goosebumps!

Dude you got to watch the live drum cam of this!!!!

everyone needs tool in their life

I've noticed the entire album is a grower. But tbh lateralus was a grower for me too. Just less so cause it was way harder in areas.

At first I didn't really care for the album, but pneuma quickly became my favorite Tool track. I don't even know what it means to become pneuma, but I feel like I'm becoming it when I listen to this song.

Fuck yea brutha!!! This is my favorite song on the album along with Descending, and Invincible!!! Excellent video quality. I would say the only thing I like better about doing it inside, is that you can hear the music a little better and clearer. Keep doing work bro!! 🤙🏼😎🍻🤘🏼

TOOL IS FOREVER

Make sure to listen to it on a quality sound system at home itll blow ur mind, descending it phenomenal too and the whole album is genius, what a band

Fantastic work. Sounded perfect! I think you should do more vids in your car. Can’t recall watching a reaction from a car, so it’s very interesting. I appreciate your time getting this together as opposed to the easy desk footage. Again, Thanks!

Give Rosetta Stoned from 10,000 days a listen. Overall, IMO the best song musically by Tool

i agree with your headphones opinion. Tool needs room to breathe

God damn the drums sound so heavy in this video

Great reaction dude!!

Anyone else listening to FI and find themselves drawn to the gym and just crushing it? I love Pneuma and it’s build up. The final climax is so Tool. So much going on and so f’ing heavy. Super man gains in the gym good.

Police Officer: "I saw you just sittin' here. Whatcha doin'?". Me: "Tool"... Police Officer: "Sorry to interrupt your experience, carry on".

I fucking LOVE this song!

At the 4:08 mark when Maynard comes back in you can hear some very very cool voice layering they did. There is a deep deep voice under Maynard's that adds so much when listening on a good system or headphones

Nietzsche would call this an Übersong!

This is the best new song I've heard in a long time.

Well I couldn't hear you swallow until you brought it up lol

new Tool album is pretty hard to understand in first listen:)

It's the time signature changes that messes with your mind. For example when you hear the chorus to Fear Inoculum for the first time it sounds like it's off beat, but get familiar with the song a few times and magically it sounds perfect, what the hell?

It's all about the details with Tool

back 2 back vids 🔥💥

You should see this live! It's like a religious experience

you need to listen to this in the best headphone system you got to hear all that it possesses

All tool songs are growers lol. Maynard and Danny did an interview years ago and they said their idea of tool music is that the tool doesn't climax too early. They like it that way

12:30 is the best riff in this track, nay in the history of music

Get ready for 7empest, which is 15 minutes long.

Hmmmm my favourite tool song?....................Yes!

Oh Drew...if you got good stereo in your car, crank it - try to drive next time. This song is killer ✌️

The sound in the beginning that you said sounds like a door stopper...my daughter says it sounds like a prize wheel

Pneuma, invicible n' 7empest are my top 3

nice reaction

Hey Drew, when are you gonna introduce Amy to Tool?? Might as well lead her down this rabbit hole too. 🤘🏼😂

Hey Drew sorry if i came across as a smartass in my earlier comment ive been drinking alot of Jack Danielsi I Like your reviews and respect your opinions As for me too much time in over seas in the Infantry can make you bitter give you a big head and a complex sorry not always easy to just to be chill at least when im drinking Love your channel much respect

Best song if you ask me

Its unfortunate that your list didn't c OK ntain my favorite track, Culling Voices. You should give it a listen, truly mesmerizing

Headphones.....nothing less !

3:49 TOOL is never too loud homie

Ya you pronounced right

I’m going to assume you have since seen the drum cam video of Danny Carey playing this song? If not, you MUST! It will blow your mind. 🤯

Cruzin Music? I totally get what you're saying, but everyone closes their eyes during this album... It would be a blissful wreck! 😎

invincible is great 2 in 1 is another tool song i dig!

Culling Voices is my #1

Drew - new sub here so not sure if you've done this yet but if you haven't, check out Deftones - Passenger. Maynard sings in that one with Chino and its absolutely nuts. You mentioned driving music & I immediately thought of Passenger.

This song has major echoes of eulogy

🎧😜

6 un genio che ha fatto After

0:28 reminds me of a kind of murderer song....like Jason or Michael Myers

Pneuma is the MVP

Hello, first time watcher of channel. This album is a huge grower and you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't listen to the album. At the moment, Descending is the best for me (initially it was Invincible). Gotta listen to them all mate. They haven't spent 13 years for you to skip two of the main tracks (Culling Voices and Descending)! Anyway, cheers for the content.

Puh numa lol I died 💗

no such thing as distractions when your listening to tool 😵🤯

Yeah the reason why you can hear more without headphones is because you've closed-back headphones it's open-back that gives you the sound around you. Anyways good reaction
