This man is really spiraling out🌀

10 minutes into a 14 minute song and has to check (preemptively) that there's enough "time left". Hits this old Tool fan in the feels. :)

this is the song that, 95% of the time, puts my 2 and a half year old daughter straight to sleep. we’ve been jamming this lullaby for over 2 years now

If you want to hear the "guitarist flex" listen to 7emptest from the same album. Adam just takes you into a whole different plane. Tool won a Grammy for this song, "Best Metal Performance". I've been following you for a bit and I love how you marry the emotional reaction the music evokes along with your life's journey. Keep it up man. You are appreciated. Kids will sleep, everything normalizes. Enjoy the ride for now. You'll miss it in 20 years. Believe that.

This song, to me, is a call for unity after it's most likely too late. To stop fixating on what separates us and work together for the betterment of our planet and species. It's a call that goes unanswered, and the second half of the song is the passing of millennia. The ending waves symbolize something new crawling ashore to try again...

listen to disposition, reflection, & triad together so good it’s mediation for the mind body & soul the words and the music have magic 😉🎶💜

This album is a masterpiece from start to finish. You are going to love them live. Invincible has to be next. A song that I can truly relate to. Enjoying your reactions to this amazing band.

This is definitely up there as one of my favorites! Danny crashing the gong is like the oragasm of the song!

Hey Sebs, glad to be part of your journey with these absolute geniuses, you really get it and that's awesome! I remember you got really emotional with Lateralus, especially the climax, so my recommendation would definitely be Invincible next. That song is just transcendental, no other band would've come up with such a stroke of genius and sensibility. That could be said of pretty much every Tool track, I know, but still 😁 Spiral out man, keep going 💪

Descending is my #1 on top of a lot of masterpieces. #2 is one you haven’t gotten to yet. Waiting patiently for ‘The Patient’. Best of luck on your journey and we’re here for it.

One of the most emotionally powerful songs I've ever heard. The music says more than any lyrics could in the second half. Maynard is good enough to realize that, I think.

Also, when you actually get to do Fear Inoculum, keep in mind they released the album in September 2019, right BEFORE COVID was even a thing .

Sebs...first of all, as an OGT it's been so much fun watching your journey with Tool, your reactions showcase what we all love so much about this band. I had a very similar experience with my 1st daughter as you are having now, my wife and I didn't sleep for the first 18 months, we constantanly had to go to doctor visits, the ER, and it was one of the most tramatic experiences of our lives. For now you'll have to embrace the suck, stay positive, be supportive, it's ok to be frustrated with the situation, there are many of us out there that have been through the same. Thank you for making this content, thank you for sharing your life, and thank you for being yourself. Tool will be your best friend for the rest of your life now...you'll also love your APC and Puscifer experiences, Maynard's talent has no bounds. Now go get some rest!

Reading these comments reminds me how lucky I am to be a part of the TOOL army! It lets me know there is still hope for this planet still. There is kindness, love, patience, understanding, all in plain sight on this comment board. Truly a "Holy Experience!" I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one left that still can feel something in such amazing music. Spiral out!

This is my personal favorite off of their newest album. Especially considering all of my own personal struggles that ive experienced, this song relates to them well. PS!! Speaking of SYRINGE...look at the Tool logo for that album, split it between the o and the o and fold it on itself.....syringe. For me, this is a song about descending into the madness or the depths of ourselves and MORE IMPORTANTLY realizing when we are at fault and when we are falling so that we may "sound the dread alarm. Mobilize. Call ourselves to arms and order to fight the darkness that is in all of us. One. Drive. To. Stay. Alive. Its elementary"

My man. I know you said that Pneuma is a big source of your strength for dealing with some of your current difficulties of parenthood and in being the best father you can be for your kids, so allow me to recommend you listen to The Patient off of Lateralus. That song's lyrics will ring very true to you I bet. Definitely for those times when you're at the end of your rope. "I must keep reminding myself..." "If there were no reward to reap, no loving embrace to see me through, this tedious path I've chosen here, I certainly would have walked away by now" Many other people have suggested H. off of Ænima which is absolutely another essential one for your current situation. As someone who discovered TOOL in middle school, learned all their songs by heart in high school and still can't listen to any of them without being absolutely blown away, it means a lot to see someone else getting to experience their mastery for the first time. Keep swinging on that spiral 🌀

Now its Invincible time!!! GO 4 IT!

7empest or invincible. 7empest really showcases all of Adam Jones’ different guitar techniques. Mix of their old and new sound.

My #1 top fave Tool song from ALL their albums. Just does something to me on a visceral soul level.

I dont think I have seen any different reactioners to Tool get into it the way we did when we began our Tool journey, like you do. Its an honor to watch!

DISPOSITION REFLECTION TRIAD , these trio come together , don't split them up please

When my boy was 3-4 months old and wouldn't sleep I used to pace up and down the kitchen with him on my chest and whistle random tunes or specific songs. Worked great after a bottle, esp the early morning ones. Really enjoying your reactions. Depending on your beliefs, the thing you need will either be there if you look for it, manifest through your energy, or will be waiting for you when you are ready. Many people who hear Tool aren't listening, or open to feeling the experience that we love them for. Watching you experience these songs for the first time and sharing these feelings again with someone who appreciates it is a gift. So thank you.

Could I recommend Tool - Eulogy? Also, if you're a fan of Maynard, I'd suggest his other projects, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer

When Tool really connects with people its deep and its lifelong from the early angry stuff to the philosophical almost spiritual big almost orchestral sound

The calm you bring into a situation reflects and helps calm the situation. The song is sounds from underwater walking up onto the shore with the waves, at the end of the song it’s you walking back into the water and going under the water. Full circle you end where you begin.

I think invincible or the patient are definitely two more songs that would really help you to calm your mind in those frustrating and challenging times for you and your family. Love your reactions man, keep your head up and be brave/strong for your family 👍 :)

Watching you fall in love with Tool is awesome to see. Makes me fall in love with them all over again. Great job continuing the Tool journey.

Fun fact, if the album art is folded in half (left to right), the TOOL logo becomes a syringe

Straight up the album is the anthem for the pandemic . I can’t stop listening to it

Next up: 10 000 days Written after Maynard's mother died. His mother was a profoundly religious woman who became severely paralysed after a cerebral aneurysm. Afterwards she became unable to raise Maynard. Maynard became increasingly bitter/angry with god for punishing the - in his eyes -most devoted follower of his teachings. She kept her faith during her entire - paralysed - life, something Maynard didn't understand and resulted in struggles and discussion between the two. Eventually, when she died, he came to accept her faith and made this song to notify God that one of his most devoted followers was on her way and for him to take care of her. - invincible This song is about ones realisation that he is past his prime self and the internal struggle of holding one to ones ego/pride or letting go and moving on finding a new journey/adventure.

One of the best pieces of music ever created.

Guys, let's make sure he listens to tracks that need to be heard together." Lost Keys/ Rosetta Stoned". "Intension/ Right in Two".

Sebs, I've been watching you on this journey and loving every moment. We waited 13 years for this album to finally come. I still find the title track, Fear Inoculum to be the most moving. It's my go to on this album because of how it moves me. Consider putting yourself in the same situation as us and waiting 13 years for new music by a band we can't get enough of, and then listen to the title track with that kind of anticipation. They released the song about a month before the album came out and it still has me on the floor. Just phenomenal. It's got a groove and beauty that stands out on the album. I listened to it with goosebumps the first time I heard it and every time since. Highly recommend reacting to it and follow along with the words. This was released just months before the pandemic and feels prophetic. Cheers man. Hope to see your impression of this suggestion soon.

And this album truly does showcase Adam's guitar work more prolifically than any album before it. SO much more of what would traditionally be considered solo work.

Invincible from this same album is an absolute must! I've listened to this one and Pnuema more than any other from this album. Talking about the journey through it all and to me this song was meant for the older Tool fans who've followed them all this time and grown together but how were getting older and less Invincible than when we were younger. There's more to it than that of course but I feel you'll get it and it would play right along with where you are now. Can't wait for more and welcome to the Tool Army fam!

7EMPEST! You are ready! It"ll take your brain a few listens to process, but it's a ride you won't be able to get off. As with all Tool songs, the more you revisit, the deeper you are hooked! Keep at it, love your reactions!

One thing about Descending, the song is cut EXACTLY into 2 pieces. The first half is the with lyrics and the second half being an instrumental. The song is exactly 13:39 in length. At the 6:49 1/2 minutes Maynard utters the last word 'order', and then the other 6:49 1/2 is the beautiful instrumental. Of course, they did it on purpose, but it's still an interesting fact about the song. It has become my favorite tool song, as it is hard to beat such a masterpiece. When I listen to the second half, I imagine being on a raft heading down, river, but I have no oars, so the currents control the craft. At one point in the song, and if you listen, you'll be able to figure it out, but at one point the raft goes over a waterfall, and then eventually reaches the end of the river which drains into the ocean. It's quite the ride! Rock on! Personally, I would not have told you to listen to the new stuff yet. It seems too early in your journey to take up the broad strokers. Everyone now will be begging for Invincible or 7empest, both from Fear Inoculum, but you should really listen to more of the older tunes. There's plenty to choose from. Then circle back later with these newer pieces. Keep everyone waiting. lol You can't make a bad choice, although some might catch you off guard. Any way you proceed, enjoy the ride! BTW, I see you're checking out Baby Metal, but the better Japanese band to check out is Band-Maid. Check out BAND-MAID / Play (Official Live Video) - KZfaq , but they do have a lot of awesome tunes!! Seriously, put them on your list. They are the bomb!

Maynard once mentioned while being interviewed by Joe Rogan that for people to end the division and come together it would take a cataclysmic event like a meteorite striking and causing significant damage to everyone's daily life. That's how I interpret this song. He's calling out to God or the universe to intervene in some way. The song opens up with waves crashing to the shore. It's like the calm before a meteor strikes and causes significant loss of life. I doubt Maynard actually wants that to occur. The same way that Aenema is not meant to be taken literally.

Hallelujah!! That's how I feel when I experience Tool! My soul gets healed EVERY time!!

to me the song is a prophecy of the fall of mankind

For me this song hit me hard during some pretty serious depression. It was and still is exactly what I need.

Another vote for Tempest. Adam just wanders off for almost 5 minutes with all sorts of riffs. As a Tool fan that never wants their songs to end, Tempest gladdens my heart!

Best Tool reactions I've ever seen, this dude makes me experience tool again like I did when I was younger. Good work bro

Loving your genuine Tool reactions. I think that you are going to absolutely love Jambi, because Adam uses a voice box, and he gets some really sick guitar sounds. I also think that Invincible is going to blow you away! Sick, sick, sick riffs and bass with an awesome look into aging and seeing the downslope of our lives.

My favorite Tool song. Something about it just touches every part of my humanity.

What an amazing song man, can't wait for invincible.

I would recommend some of the older stuff. Bottom and Flood are great songs off of Undertow, their 1993 release with Sober on it. It's a dark album, hearing their growth as a band is really amazing.

First!!! This is my favorite track off the new album. ❤

To me the general theme of this song is about being complacent in your own destiny, allowing things to go bad because you were not diligent enough, you allowed the end of your story to be muddled by your own doing/not doing enough. More specifically I think this song is about the lawsuit Tool was in for YEARS that delayed the making/release of this album (their Epilogue of sorts). The lawsuit could have been avoided if they were more diligent I think. The lawsuit could have potentially ended their careers. "Calling all to arms and order" I think has a general meaning of saying "ok it's time to fight and fix this" but also refers to the actual trial/lawsuits like being called to order by a judge.

"mitigate the ruin, call us all to arms and order." were too comfortable and to awake us we need "the dread alarm to our primal body" to keep us on track

Parenting sounds like it takes a very strong willed and responsible type of person. I am thankful my parents were like you and many of your viewers from reading the comments. All I can say is tough it out. It is worth it. I am rooting for the real ones out there. Good parents will shape the future in the right direction..

Adam solo was epic. 4 perfects musicians together that’s what you get. I run 4 km with Aenima album 3x a week. Descending is one of their longest track with Lateralus. You can find a dev version of Descending , they called that Ascending or something similar.

Tempest next Please!!!!💯🔥🎶🌀😎

I listened to this everyday on my drive to work in a hospital lab when the pandemic first started. Can confirm this hits different when you really do feel like you are mustering every fiber...for the one tribe to stay alive...

I LOVE your tool reaction videos. They popes up on my random home page cuz a friend of mine never heard of Tool. I find myself now watching your videos on my walks(and I walk alot)more than I listen to the actual songs. Also, I have 2 kids and I know it's rough at times. Keep up the positivity and amazing things will happen before you even know it. Your gonna be a great dad. Take it one step at a time.

Dude you wanna see Adam flex?? Listen to 7empest Adam goes full beast mode.

One of my favorite Tool songs.

I've seen Adam play synth parts with his foot Pedals and play guitar atThe same time, but I've also seen him with a synth in a stand so it could be either or. Also, Danny his synth triggers on his kit so sometimes he is the one that's responsible

Your candidness is refreshing ❤️ I look forward to your continued Tool journey 🌀😊

The best part about this journey is that you still have so much to experience.

It's beautiful to watch an intelligent person discover the power of this band! They create masterpieces. Great reaction brother!

Really like your reaction videos! You have so many Tool songs to experience. Keep it going 😀👍

To me this song is about our apathy to the planets dying.

It is fascinating for me to hear such a clear and beautiful voice from a man of 57 years who sings so long. His voice sounds so velvety and young and soft at parts where he wants and so rough and strong at other parts. And it is nice to watch someone gets excited for the firt time.

Adam has a floor keyboard arrangement as an attachment to his pedalboard, it looks kind of like the foot pedals on an organ. He does the more mid frequency synth, and I think Danny has something similar and occasionally adds a more bassy synth as well

TOOL is musical perfection.

It's great watching you go through this journey. I did it exactly a year ago. I'm going to their show in January. Sebscribed!

Reflection is beautiful and trancy with a slight middle eastern feel. The lyrics made me cry the first time I heard it.

Hey Sebs i used to lissen to Tool (46/2 when my kid where little and could lay on his tommy on my forarm... and now 13 years and came home from school with joy in his voice. Dad lissen to this and he played Tools new album for me.... and now we are going to se TOOL in the new year. Happy journey in the future

Looks like I’m a couple months late to the party, but it’s been a pleasure watching you experience this band for the first time. Far too many don’t get it, and maybe aren’t ready for it, but you understand it through and through. This is the best band of our generation.

Invincible off the same album. Best song on the album IMO. In 1993 i went to Lollapalooza in Atlanta. Like the majority of people I was there to see Rage Against the Machine. Some time mid-afternoon 4 guys walk out on stage and start to play. About one minute into them playing I gave my buddy the "holy shit who is this" look. I couldnt get to a record store quick enough the next day. They have been my favorite band ever since, hands down. No other band comes close.

7:14 It is! Maynard's vocals are humanity's treasure

I see Descending as the more mature older brother to Ænima. They told us to learn to swim, then we can hear the flood waters approaching...

This song always makes me tear up.

I switched every user name I have to this one, the day they released the name of the album. Invincible is another great song off of Fear Inoculum. You should definitely check it out.

Been waiting for this one, my personal favorite on the new album, at least this week. Cheers!

Can't believe I finally get to see Tool live for the first time in Houston in February!

I was getting excited that you were getting excited

I am pleased to say I saw you go from a little boy to growing hair on your chest since starting your Tool journey a month or two ago. You are ready now, my brother.

The climax of Descending always make me cry!!!! It is crazy how it touches my soul everytime!!! Spiral Out my friend!!!

I just found your channel a little bit ago. Awesome videos bro. You wanna hear Adam Jones really flex???? 7empest is a true masterpiece.

Love it. Love it all. My favorite song...

Nice reaction. Glad you’re enjoying the Tool journey. You should check out 10,000 days/wings for Marie. Emotional sing about Maynard’s mother. I would suggest researching the backstory before listening. Cheers!

I haven’t even gotten to the song and I’m already PUMPED. 🙏🏼🌊

food for thought at 6:10 IMPO: Tool's music has a definite and unique way of guiding your train of thought onto the rails that gently take you to what they want to show you. Everyone who can connect to this music get's something out of it they can use. Hence Tool. I know you haven't gotten to Lost Keys + Rosetta Stoned, as it's a fun mess around track, not a spiritual journey, but there's a line Maynard says "A message to those that choose to hear it, and a warning to those who do not". With that, and to return to the point of this; It seems like everyone these songs touch reach similar conclusions, albeit from different starting points. Like the Theory of Evolution's convergent evolution, as if it were convergence of ideas from people with different pasts, situations, and conditions who's only connection is Tool. TL;DR: I'm a guy on the internet, blah blah, sciency, spiritual stuff Edit: I've already seen this video 4 times as of writing this, but the reaction is the same as mine, and analysis is spot on, so I keep coming back.

A masterpiece. Pure and simple.

There are a number of fantastic songs originating from Maynard's dealing with his mother's situation and the coming about of his son. SO much great music you haven't experienced yet. 🤘🏼

You will be leaving this concert a completely different being from the one who walked in. Tool changes you. And this song live will probably melt your face off. Looking forward to the post concert review! And a tip for your wee colicky one; look into fennel oil. I used to work as a medical lab tech and I had many new moms tell me that a wee drop of fennel oil rubbed into the belly area did wonders.

This is the greatest Tool song ever written. Hands down

This song I like listening to with the position of its at face value. It’s a last battle cry, a call to arms, this is the song to round up every soldier and to charge into the final battle. We are dying today, but we will die on our feet. It’s the answer to invincible. No we are not unkillable, no we are not everlasting, but it’s these last moments that will become legendary. And the somber aura of understanding these are our last moments.

Culling voices is a must!

He needs to listen to fear Inoculum for sure!

That song peals all our souls. 🖤🤘🏽🖖🏿

And when you fold the TOOL logo in half on itself it becomes a syringe 💉 🤯 Loving your journey, brother 🙏

My fav.song from from my fav.tool album

This song to me is about a call to arms through our collective consciousness to the primal "body" of all of humanity to rise up now and act before it's too late. Not just to rise up off our couches and do something but to rise, ascend in our vibration/energy/spirit; for us to change now and ascend to the next density as our world shifts consciousness and shifts its actual position in the galaxy (check out the Great Year or earth's 26000 year procession) to one of higher electrical energy (Tesla's electric universe theory); the shifting between the age of Pisces and age of Aquarius. The saying goes "we are on this rock flying through space", or floating even. But floating isn't infinite as the movement of our planet is caused by gravity and electrical fields. The gravity of our sun, nearby planets, and each other star continued on to the center of our galaxy, is all pulling us as we fall through this space. Falling isn't flying, we will not float forever. If we want to fly and reach the infinite consciousness then we must wake from this slumber (the saturn frequency), wake from this lower vibrational matrix this world has us in and rise to stay alive, lest this be our swan song and epilogue. This reflects on not only the cosmic transition our planet is going through now, but the associated vibrational and spiritual change, to the current socio and political climate changing as globalism/communism/luciferianism/'cult of El' tries to take over and the world's collective consciousness is beginning to push back and not consent! We may just be in earth's and humanities swan song, "to be or not to be". Will we rise, or descend? The song itself even fights against it's own title as it ascends in tone, energy and speed etc throughout, willing us through all aspects of this song to not descend but to fight against that and ascend.

To me “Fear Innoculum” is their “show off” album. Every song seem to have someone going watch what I can do.

Hey man, hang in there with the kids. Tru and remember that the lack of sleep makes everything else seem so much worse than it is. . .one day soon you'll wake up after an 8 hour sleep and when you look back on it you'll realize that you can handle it. . .and from them on you'll be stronger all around. . .speaking from experience here. . .went through it with 2 of 3 of my kids. . .second was so much harder, more to coordinate. . .but it gets better, I promise. . Oh and pay attention to your wife. . .make sure she knows your there for her as well as the kids. . .can be hard sometimes but I promise it'll be worth it all soon.

Love your reactions Seb. If you could do a reaction to Schism by Tool that would be awesome. Growing up, whenever I heard this song on the radio that day, I always had an awesome day. It was like Good Karma for me knowing that. Ive been a tool fan ever since and I'm not looking back. I like how you delve deeper into their lyrics. Because it's been one hell of a journey since then. Keep the content coming buddy, I look forward to it.

My neighbors tell me to turn it up when I play this song. Lol
