Apologies for the lack of speaking throughout this video guys - as I’m sure a lot of you are aware, sometimes Tool is just better when you save your thoughts until the end and spiral out 🌀🌀

Every time that gong hit happens I get goosebumps and I've listened to this track close to 100 times.

Pneuma and Descending are the best 2 tracks on the album in my opinion. Some of the best songs they've done period. The last 4-5 minutes of Descending might be my favourite moment on the entire album!!

I didn't think super highly of this track at first, but it has grown into my favorite next to Fear Inoculum. The message of this song is powerful. Took me many listens to finally get around to hearing every word and listening to everything together... And yeah, it had me on the verge of tears. Maynard's most passionate singing on the album IMO.

This is currently my fav from this album, but I do love them all. This one just matches my own vibe the most

Culling Voices is AMAZINGLY UNDER APPRECIATED

Now you have Culling Voices to listen to. MJK’s voice is absolutely amazing.

Hearing this song in concert was just... indescribable.

I was surprised that this song ended up as my fav song off of this album and actually one of my top 5 TOOL songs of all time. When that bass comes in at 12:00 of the video is so fckn epic.

The greatest disappointment in life is when a Tool song ends.

I appreciate you showing Justin some love

Another great reaction. I was wondering if you're going to react to some of their earlier stuff again now this album is pretty much done. If so I would recommend The Pot. I really think you'll like it. I could see you appreciating Tool's odd sound signatures this video too which was cool😊

You gotta listen to Wings for Marie pts. 1 and 2! (from the album 10,000 Days)

All of Tool's albums end with these long songs or groups of songs, that are pure masterpieces. (Disgustipated from Undertow, Third Eye on Aenima, Lateralus/Disposition/Reflection/Triad on Lateralus, and Intension/Right In Two from 10,000 Days) These are the songs I find myself coming back to time and again over the years, and I think they all fall under the term you cleverly coined as "Euphoric Metal". (Well, maybe Disgutipated is a slightly different "Animal".) All of Fear Inoculum follows the mold of these songs, and I am so glad for that. But I can see where folks that are only getting introduced to Tool might think all the songs on Fear Inoculum start to sound alike. I recommend you take a break from all these complex hypnotizing songs and have a little party listening to Chocolate Chip Trip, and maybe some hard and dark tracks from earlier albums, before tackling Culling Voices. As one of the other commenters mentioned Culling Voices is definitely under appreciated, and though it fits solidly in with the rest of the amazing songs on this album, but it's probably one of the slowest growers ever. Anyway, great reaction here to Descending. Thanks for another great video!

Great reaction and honest well thought out response as always man! You're right about it being a grower for many, I absolutely love this song and you're going to find out that that accidental interruption by someone in your house there came right in the best part of the song (at least melodically). When you really hear that section again properly you'll love it! Keep 'em coming dude!

been waiting for this one Drew , I absolutely love this song

This track has become my favorite all-time...

It grew on me too. So much that it’s now my FI favorite! Love the reviews!

Fear Inoculum is the album of 2010-2019. A masterpiece.

Please react to Flesh and the power it holds by Death

Love the tool vids man my favorite band hopefully you get to the patient one of my faves

Adam goes ham on this track.

To me this album is a Requiem a tribute/Anthem of The bands life as they exist in this day and age. An the progression of all of us and them. Throughout this last decade. It's a brilliant story. And listening to this album numerous times since it dropped.. It still brings me to tears. It never stops that feeling of onesness, understanding a sense of greatness .. The Trips that Tool have took us all on since their very first album. Has been an exciting journey. And such a wonderful musical trilogy. "The terrible and fantastic story of all of our survival" Musically transcribed for our souls. Danny, Maynard, Adam and Justin bring it with intensity.. Couldn't have asked for more. "Musical Masterpiece" Would love to see a full action movie to the soundtrack of Tool's full discography. If the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Metallica why not Tool. Adam,Maynard & Alex Grey doing the artwork Omg I can only imagine..

Ever since I caught your reactions to the new album, I've been waiting for this one. After listening several times, this is my favorite track on the album. There's something very affecting about it, more so than the others. Might be personal reasons. But damn, the progression is just...ecstasy. No better way to describe it.

Yeah, first listen to both Invincible and Descending, I like Invincible a lot more. Now after hearing the album for about a month now, Descending is the best song on the album and one of the best Tool songs period. Its defiantly a grower but grow it does. Such beautiful and haunting song!

You should listen to Bottom, and H. so underrated, but awesome, I love those tracks

Still a great reaction, love your videos, nicely done, have a great day Drew, love from Juárez, chihuahua, México

Awesome to see you listening to your viewers man!! I never watch these types of videos and I love your channel so props! Keep spiraling out my friend!

I love the underwater Beatlesque vocal effects… Maynard’s voice never fails to deliver. ❤️‍🔥

This is one of my favorite songs in general right now. It's like looking at a beautiful optical illusion that takes a few tries to see the image inside, and once you do all you want to do is show it to everyone else...but not everyone sees that picture within...but once you see it you can never unsee it.

Watched your reaction 2 years ago, great stuff , massive album 💿. Keep up the good work from a fellow Dub. ! 😜

Please Continue with the TOOL reactions after you complete this new Album !!! Thanks dude :))

Descending and Pneuma are my favourite songs from the album two beautiful songs in my opinion.

Currently my all-time favorite song by any band. It’s even more amazing life

That finale!!! 😮😮😮😮😮❤️🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

This one is growing on me with each listen!

From this album Culling Voices Also you need to check out Pushit (Salvia version) and Third Eye (Salvia version) two of the greatest songs of all time. Side note I just discovered your channel and subscribed. You're quickly becoming my favorite tool reaction channel!

Dont worry about not speaking throughout track Drew, I believe it's better to listen and then describe thought. If you keep stopping track it messes with your flow of emotions throughout the song. Great job man!

7:57 - the moment the vocals drop out and that guitar/bass/drum riff begins pounding is one of the best musical moments I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. This is my favorite track on the album. And then the transition at 10:35 carries the rest of the track with such wonderful, manic energy, beginning with that marching rhythm. Such joy.

I listen to tool my whole life and this song is amazing!

I agree bro, some songs just sound kinda different for whatever reason. When you hear Culling Voices-it’s really something special ...maybe the coolest song I’ve heard in long time 🤘🤘

Agree. Descending was not my fave. Every listen gets better. Now definitely my fave on the album now. The lyrics really add to the emotion too.

Love Adam in this track, so innovative with his guitar effects like the Wah pedal and even sound like he's using a slide at one section.

Around the 3:30 mark, I hear the clap sound that is at the start of Fear Inoculum. Just a little detail I noticed

Drew, wanted to come back to this one and see if it's grown on you. :) It's pretty damn relevant for what we're going through today. It's also good to revisit Tool from time to time just to remind yourself how amazing they are. Adam's guitar tone and effects on this song are a precious gift to humanity.

I first listened to the grudge with you and now descending, some changes you made in a month :)

I personally feel this is the most balanced song on the album. Each part feels so complete and ties into not just the lyrics perfectly but practically tells a story on it's own especially when Adam Jones start to light it up on the back half, and the finish is so satisfying!

I fucking love this song. It came on while I was out running, it’s got a really good cadence to it and with the building intensity it gets me hyped to keep going and push harder.

Tool - Vicarious A Perfect Circle - Passive Puscifer - Trekka (Spaghetti Mix)

The effects on the guitar you were talking about are created with a wah pedal, Kirk Hammett’s favorite hehe

Just do all Tool.

"Descending down trippy spiral" may be one of the most accurate assessments of tool that I have ever heard. Lol

You gain one more suscriber I Hope you put more TOOL!!! In your channel!!!

Danny Carey has to be the cleanest drummer in the game man

The last 4 minutes are just epic

Proud to be the 101st like!

Loving your reactions as always Drew my man, keep hammering out the great content. Only disagreement I may have with ya is my vote for album of the year would go with Slipknot’s “WANYK”. I like the new TOOL stuff but I just feel like they getting a bit of extra because of the 13 year hype they built up. LoL, just my .02 though. Love the channel brother can’t wait for the next video.

I saw many video about Descending reactions. Because my personal reaction has been to drop some tear at 12:00. There's something in that point that set my mind free.

Descending underwater? Learn to swim!

Tool - H.W.A.P.

Mate, you have got to do Culling voices next, best built up ever from these guys. Even me after so many years listening to Tool didn’t expect this song to ever reach that epic ness when I first started listening to it.

This song has a "reflection" vibe.

Come one, come all! Place your bets for how many tasty riffs Adam Jones can fit into one song! Bonus points for predicting the number and length of his jaw dropping solos!

That’s normal . Their stuff is a lot to take in. You pick up little things with every listen, and when it clicks it’s glorious

disposition, reflection, triad! all 3 in that order. you're ready my child

maybe an album review of Fear Inoculum after listening to the full length album? the two remaining that arent necessarilly filler are Culling Voices and Chocolate Chip Trip

This mans life has been changed. It is black and white from his first Tool reaction video. He is calm and patient, and at arms and order.

Culling voices is slept on to hard it's an amazing song.

New Tool, AND, a new Jinjer record less than 2 months apart? Christmas came early this year!

Man!what a guitar solo. All of it, of course. 10,000 days Will blow your mind. Happy for you that you have that ahead of you. Finish Aenima first Man

Whats the 2nd intro song called

my favorite along with Pnuema

Invincible is in my top five perpetually

Aeroplane Rock. Gets ready for take off, then takes off and then lands.

Hey Drew, some of your Reactions popped up about six months ago and I have to admit, I felt that your listening skills were undeveloped. Not trying to be rude, just truthful. So I ignored subsequent offerings. Today, your Fear Inoculum Reaction popped up, and I thought, "okay let's see where he is now." You've come a long way, sir! I watched all of your TOOL Reactions back-to-back, and I'll definitely be following along on your TOOL journey. Welcome to the, TOOL Army! 🤘🏼🔥🤘🏼🔥 In my opinion, when one considers the compositional complexity, virtuosic skill, and the often profound and/or esoteric nature of the lyrics much of Metal, and TOOL in particular, is the modern equivalent of Classical Music. I don't mean to come off as a tosser, but then my wife doesn't call me a music snob for nothing, I guess.

Alot of Tool songs have to have time to grow on you, you like them at first but they become amazing the longer you give 'em. They're grow-ers not show-ers. Lol

Tool HWAP lyric video 😎👍

That 9min mark - the end of the song Is just insane. Nothing like it.

Someone snapped you eargasming with your Tool

a few months later... what are your thoughts on this now? Did it end up growing on you? Was it ever your 'current favorite'?

Could you please do TOOL-3RD EYE....It will take you on a journey....and it is heavy at times as well!!!!!! TOOL ARMY is here for you brother!!!

You don't need to be hyped to display appreciation for good tunes bro. It's more of a chill track so a chill reaction is normal.. I wouldn't bother reacting to the segue tracks. They aren't full songs just trippy interludes. Tool always peppers them into their albums for pacing purposes, as the albums are generally layed out to be listened to as a single peice of art.

you interrupted the absolute best part of the song... that verse needs to be heard uninterrupted.

You enjoy this song over a fine glass of wine......

DESCENDING is my favorite track on Fear inoculum

Listen Live Descending, Florida. The guitar is even better wide open and not mastered. The crescendo is more impactfull with the gong smash ect. Live version seems better imo.

“Our swan song and epilogue!” Of all parts to get messed up?! 7:14 man......

I know this isn't pertinent to this video, but I would like to see you react to A Perfect Circle's - 'Brena'. Some of Maynards best vocals in my opinion. Probably the album version.

Completely agree on Descending being a grower and Invincible being instantly likable. Culling Voices was another immediate like for me.

Danny is so great at what he does that he basically woke up one day and decided to play and entire album off beat and it's going to sound fucking amazing!🤘

There's only 2 left on the album plus an instrumental that's pretty short. So by all means react away. But I'd love to see your reaction to songs on their first album Opiate. Much harder and the songs are a lot shorter. This was before they went prog. 😊

You need to start at the beginning with some songs off of Opiate and Undertow so you can truly appreciate the progression of the band. I’m not sure how I would feel about this new album if it were my first exposure to TOOL.

I love metal. Love it. But my second love is gangster rap and early nineties hip hop. One song that doesn’t get anywhere near enough love is Hip Hop by Dead Prez. Completely different sound than today’s rap scene.

You will soon find that Descending is the best track on the album.

Even better Jambi and roseta stoned

If I can say smth about technical aspect it’d be nice to hear your voice level bit lower to be able to enjoy music with you together on full volume and not be distracted by voice/commenting level. External mic in perhaps ? Peace and music drifting to all ✌️

You get the best ones, than you get TOOL: The gap between is so overwhelmingly surreal

I loved both Descending and Invincible from the live performances I heard, but once the album dropped and I heard the recorded version of Descending I was completely converted...that guitar solo...come on now.

I know this is a lot of people’s favorite TθθL song. It’s not mine, but… I get it.
