In this edition of #thedailydoug, I'm sharing a reaction to Eulogy from Tool that I filmed in late May, 2024 as part of our Fan Favorites series on Patreon. As usual, the musicians in Tool thoroughly entertained me and made me think...as well as rocking my socks off! I hope you enjoy this powerful song!

I'm one of them. Maynard's melodies seem so much more focused and cohesive on this project. They all seem so much more cohesive from a songwriting perspective rather than on later projects like on Lateralus, where the band was tighter and compositions were more complex, but they seem to have sacrificed the cohesive songwriting that drew me to them on Aenima. That's the way I see it at least.

@123dg63 13 күн бұрын

@@ChuckWasHere Yeah this album they're at the top of their game with more gutteral, personal songwriting that feels more like telling a story than the later more cerebral albums. Which peaked with their Salival live album imho. I was kinda sad Doug didn't pick that version of Pushit.

“H” was the first TOOL song I ever heard and is what got me hooked, so it will always hold a special place for me. With that said, “Aenima” is special in terms of flow, tempo change, and is Maynard’s voice at its best IMO. It also is a perfect early stop in Maynard’s journey of growth that ultimately (as of right now) effectively ends with “Descending” and “Pneuma”. The stark difference between “Aenima” and “Descending” is very powerful in terms of maturity. And with all of this said, I agree with the other person who said to just go ahead and do their entire discography. Literally every song is a masterpiece and everything connects in different ways to different journeys of growth. Absolutely amazing artists!

I have a question.... You haven´t heard Forty Six & 2 and you haven´t listened to Fear Inoculum. What are you waiting for??? DO IT NOW!!! I had heard TOOL through the years, actually played Lateralus once through. I liked them but I can´t say I listened so closely. It wasn´t until right before Fear Inoculum was released that I said to myself that it was time to sit down and go through their discography. That was in late 2018 and I´ve probably listened to Lateralus, 10.000 Days and FI 10.000 times now. Invincible from FI is a masterpiece among masterpieces. Don´t wait any longer. Listen!

@emmbee1906 13 күн бұрын

"Aenima" is one of those albums that is incredibly dense and incredibly deep. It did have the one release, "Stink Fist," that generated a lot of interest and acclaim, but as far as the rest of the album goes, every single song follows the Tool playbook (the "Tool-box" if you will?): thought-provoking lyrics, intrinsically-intertwined rhythms, virtuosity-level musicians who hold nothing back, and one of the absolutely greatest voices in rock. This was a CD that I put into my Discman and didn't stop listening to for months. Every song a challenge - every track a treasure.

Underrated Tool song, that intro was composed in some really unique ways. That clink clink sound isn’t any percussion from Danny, it’s Adam picking the E and A strings of his guitar below the bridge(the thing near the bottom front of the guitar that supports the strings for those not versed in guitar parts).

Gonna get to see Danny live out another dream and play some of the parts that inspired his style, along with 2 Zappa alums in Belew and Vai and one of the most amazing bass players in rock history Mr. Tony Levin. Recreating music from the 3 King Crimson albums that changed everything in music and inspired many of today's top musicians.
