Before everyone else chimes in, you have to check out the drum cam video of this. Absolutely mind blowing. Great reaction.

I am a woman from the UK. I am 67 and have been into these from the beginning. Ten Thousand Days is an album to listen to next. It's actually about his mother who was ill after a stroke and spent most of her life (Ten Thousand Days)is how long she lived and her faith in God. I think. I have seen them 3 times, last being here in the UK 9th May just gone. An awesome band. I think they are like a heavy pink floyd. Another great band to listen to. X

Drum cam!! Now that I've seen how Danny Carey makes that actual drum magic through the drum cam vid, I have even madder respect for his skills. This song just settles in your very marrow and refuses to leave, ha.

I love seeing people “get it”.

Check out the Drum Cam version of this song. Danny is beyond incredible! (Vic Firth)

You want a Tool song about being abducted by aliens?? Lol, listen to Lost Keys/Rosetta stoned next. If you're ready for a trippy song, that is. It's incredibly fun and unique.

Yes, the build-up in Pneuma is incredible and the pay off is so satisfying! If you loved Pneuma I highly recommend the last 3 songs off of their Lateralus album: "Disposition, Reflection, and Triad." They are 3 distinct songs but they blend into each other seamlessly.

Hey Sean, As requested, here we go. Great you're having a blast discovering TOOL. Like any TOOL fan, I'd love to be able to discover their entire discography for the first time like you. By now, I know every TOOL song by heart (guitar player speaking haha) except for maybe Opiate EP songs and some songs on Undertow. It became my #1 band to the point where I ended up searching and buying one of the limited editions of the Gibson Les Paul Silverburst Adam Jones Signature as well as the entire gear setup which is almost complete just to recreate this TOOL sound I love so much. Some back story for this exceptional song. It's on their latest album "Fear Inoculum" (2019) which got me into TOOL two years ago and which I considered to be their pinnacle (even though I love Aenema, Lateralus and 10,000 days like crazy). Fear Inoculum is just an experience, it's the perfect word, just like you described. Each song from this album is a journey. You must listen at home with headphones on and no one around that can bother you. When you search for the title track online, you found that "Pneuma" means "breath", "soul". When looking up the lyrics, you understand that it's very spiritual-oriented. Sonically that also confirms this sense of "journey". This is their thing, adding layers upon layers. It's awesome. Like some people will surely recommend I'm sure, you need to listen and react if you can to the live cam version of Pneuma which is entirely focused on Danny Carey, the drummer (one of the best if not the best in the world). It will give you a whole new perspective on the song. You will better understand the percussive sounds at the beginning and in the middle section when Danny goes full on soloing and displaying his greatness. Coming from a musical background, I think it's why you guessed right about the flanger effect on the guitar for the end part. There is also a delay effect throughout the entire song in the guitar signal chain that gives this atmosphere, along with the bass and drums. Just so you know for the rest of your journey discovering TOOL since I can share with you my knowledge as a guitar player, Adam Jones always had this specific sound of his that everyone tries to recreate. The specs on his guitar and the amps along with the pedals he uses give him a very "bright" guitar sound, lots of mids and treble, less gain than we think. This is how he can "cut through" the mix especially with Justin's bass tone (which is essential for the TOOL sound). In a nutshell, here you have it. I love listening to this song, I love playing it on guitar, it's one of my favorite (though I love every TOOL song, I think you know the drill with them by now). Glad you get to experience this as well. Keep going into the rabbit hole.

"Like tribal aliens... does that make sense?" I think you just successfully summed up a decent portion of Tool's discography. Lol. I was watching another reaction channel listen to Pink Floyd not too long ago and one of them said something along the lines of 'it's like the blues... from another planet' - these types of comments are the reason I love reaction channels. Appreciate it, brother. Cheers!

There is a live version, it’s just a drum cam. Definitely check that out. It’s incredibly mesmerizing 12 minutes will feel like 2.

When this album came out, I went into my room, turned off the lights and went through the entire album with my eyes closed. It's not just this song, but the entire album that needs to be experienced this way. It's incredible!

From the same album, Descending is totally a ride, and the guitar is so sweet!!! Enjoy!

Many more like this one. You're in for one hell of a musical journey and awakening. Nothing like it. Can't wait for you to react to "Descending" off the same album. It's a ride. Spiral out bud 🌀👁🧘🏻‍♂🙌🏼

Drum cam time! You must witness the greatness that is the octopus 🐙!

Here for it! Drum cam time now! Haha! I'll keep suggesting it... do their catalogue start to finish and have lyrics!

Absolutely agree that this song requires undivided attention to fully appreciate.

BRO, how have you not heard of TOOL? Watch Danny Carey playing this song live on the drums.

This whole album is space candy.

We wait for drumcam

Everyone in the TOOL hivemind are with you on this journey. It's art, almost beyond art into a pure expression. This song is almost religion. When they drop into those amazing musical phrases, you have to stop and say, "YES". It hits you hella hard. It's like everyone plugs in exactly at that point in the song, whenever they experience it, even if it's a different point in space and time. You know exactly where someone else was when they hit those points in the song. Magic. So, yes, everyone is exactly with you on the journey through this song. It was a strange experience to hear it the first time, and it grows each time... and especially when we can see other people experience it and react to it. Practically religious, magical. Not many can attain this mastery for sure.

LOL, Tool is now categorized as "Ear Sex". Wonder if that will show up in the genre sections of the local music store.

Generally, we fans call it a Toolgasm! The first of many and I'm here for it!

Might sound crazy doing a double-up of the same song but you should really check out the live version drum cam, you won't be disappointed. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FssULNGSZIA.html

So, interesting thing is that Tool recreates all of this live, as you'll see in the drum-cam video everyone is suggesting... There are no extra drum tracks or overdubs, Danny Carey plays all of it at the same time, in one sitting. They call him "The Octopus" for a reason 🐙

Danny Carey drum cam homie 🔥

I'll pile on with the drum cam recommendation. Seeing Danny actually play it takes this song to another level. If nothing else, you get to see his crazy setup. The intro part where you said it sounds like a xylophone is an electronic drum. He has a bunch of them in addition to all of his toms. All the songs on this album are long and Danny even mentioned toying with the idea of a straight through continuous album. In the past they often had to break them up, so that is why you will see people recommending to do multiple songs together.

it doesn't matter Tool, Puscifer or APC. what ever Maynard does is that good.

Definately have Tool figured out my guy :) " Structued in a Tool way " ha!

each of the six 'songs' on Fear Inoculum and the Adam Jones instrumental 'the Witness' are all of the same extraordinarily high calibre as this and worth checking out. i agree that they have an intimacy in their recordings that sets them apart.

"Dude, I just went on an trip." Nothing else needs to be said. Eargasm indeed. Good stuff my dude.

Welcome to Progressive Music! This record is from a more recent album. I noticed right away that this record took major influence from their previous, incorporating and elaborating further rhythmically and tonally. I felt in some ways this song specifically was an homage to their previous records while still managing to bring something new to the table. 10/10 a musical experience.

Sell your Soul to me* and I will create You a Reversed Engineered Quantum Artificial Intelligent Frequency Modulated Album Too What did Dr. DRE say? Keep their Heads ringing ! the FM Principle!

I spent a lot of time with Lateralis during the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Each new Tool disk or album is a reflection of Maynards life trials and experiences. Early on it was angst and pushing back against hair bands and the Hollywood shot show. 10,000 days was the experience of the loss of Maynards mother. Lateralis is Maynards spiritual awakening and now Fear Innoculum is the next evolution in his spiritual growth. So much emotion expressed is each song like individual life chapters .

You literally have to "watch" the performance in order to hear what's happening. So counter-intuitive to the premise of "listening". Excellent review brother!

Next on your tool journey is the song Parabola. I'd recommend it - perhaps ignore the video - it's a little weird. Possibly their best song :)

MASTERPIECE!!!

Sean...Check out Tool's Wings for Marie 1/2

"They got so much potential to let it rip" proceeds to let it rip 😂

tool does not give a shit about radio, or how long it takes to make a song or how long a song is. they only care about making music that they want , no formula like verse chores , verse chores, bridge , etc. every album has a different vibe. yes tool sounds like only 1 band its tool btw i subbed brother

I took a dose of mushrooms when I first got this album. I laid on the ground and I have 2 sonos speakers and i placed them on either side of my head and I went to a different planet. It was the most amazing experience

Sean, my most respected #ViberKing - you've introduced me some great bands, f.ie. Dance Gavin Dance & Jinjer (didn't need that for Blind Channel 🖤). Tool is new to me, but so clear offspring of the greatest progressive rock bands starting from the ancient 1970's. Do love this genre, so this band is included. Go ahead, make some love to the progemusic. ❤️‍🔥

Like others have said, check out the drum cam video :) I know nothing about playing drums, but I find it fascinating to watch.

Loved your description!

The Fear Inoculum album is chock full of the coolest songs you’ll ever hear in your life lol. listen to the whole album! Shit will blow your mind

Please check out the drum cam 🙏

you are ready...Descending.

Danny Carey is the goat of drums since Neil's pearts passing.

"Sex to the ears..." Perfect analogy.

I really enjoyed this reaction! I remember the night this album released. We had been waiting 13 years for this so anticipation was high and I absolutely couldn't wait to listen. I closed my eyes, put on my Beats, sparked a J, and just soaked it in. And this song absolutely blew me away, so technical, so precise, sex for your ears is an excellent description. It reminded me of Reflection but elevated to another level. I'm glad I could witness this experience with you. I know people mentioned the drum cam video, but ya its good, Danny being the legend he is, great stuff!

I used to take LSD but honestly, I never needed to experience Tool's music. When you think about music and what it means, it's some of the most precious and valuable things we can have. Songs mean so much to people, they shape your life. I don't even know what my life would have been like without Tool's music

Danny the Octopus! Go search this live at Boston Garden. It’s incredible!

Right In Two

Dude...this isn't even everyone's favorite song on the album 😂....I really hope you do more off Fear Inoculum. It gets more and more complex. That was only track 2. Love your reactions brother!

Lateralus from them is the best Album in Music History imo. Check it out. Beste Song...maybe the Grudge

So apparently Danny is playing in 33/8 which is broken down into subsections of 5/8, 6/8, 7/8 and 8/8 but not always in the same way/order.

New sub! Love Tool! Check out the kids from O,Keefe do 46 and 2

It's like cake, there's all kinds, some are super SUPER RICH, pleasure to decadent for day to day. But when you do indulge, it's superb.

Your " naughty" analogy of how this song is like sex...exactly how I feel about ALL of Tool's music! Lol

Best band on the planet currently. Adam jones. jm Keenan. Danny Carey. Justin chanceler.the best

You want out of the box and unique. System of a Down, Tocicity. Eargasms galore. Tried opera singer doing metL. Pure ear joy!

Love your reaction. First time I viewed your channel was this video and it earned a subscription. Not just because it's TOOL, but the no weakness. It shows the value you have for your fellow human. I started a path of shedding ego and listen to learn and live to love. And the no weakness is inspirational. Thank you brother. Now my suggestion(s) Reflection. The Patient. Close those eyes and take those journeys. My weakness became my strength through TOOL. My power is in the recognition. My power is I give no fucks about ego. But I'll sure as hell ruin a body that needs the lesson. Much love fucker!

The Lord will rapture his ppl in under 2.5 years. He promised I'll never see 50, and not cos I'll die. We see the signs. He said when we see them to REJOICE, cos they mean he's coming soon

Please check out Arch Enemy new song Sunset over the Empire excellent song and cool video

Ha! Alien VS predetor. Sean, I dig your intro of your own work. It remind me of digable planets meets paperboy by ditty and set a drift for a memory. All revolutionary originals for th genre. The mix is off the hook! Oldie and underrated. And now, I feel it's so rad that you resonate with tool. That is growth as a human and a rapper. I have seen a trend where many, I mean many rappers resonate with tool.. What is your opinion on that? I feel it's because of the mix number one and..? Thank you for experiencing tool, you put a smile on my face.

Tribal aliens had me laughing but homey, you went on a super ride there. This song is a masterpiece as is almost every Tool track. If you haven’t already you must experience the rest. Peace 👍.

Great reaction! Thank you for telling it like it is: tool are their own genre. PERIOD!

Watch the drum cam lol. Great reaction. No other band like TOOL

I'm gonna use "tribal aliens" to describe Tool's sound from now on.

This song is somewhat heavy lyrically. I feel, and this just my opinion, that this is a call for us all to come together as one. This album overall sort of has the theme that our species is fucked and needs to work together before we destroy ourselves more. Look up the meaning of pneuma and pull up the lyrics. They're not the most profound lyrics mjk has put to paper, but they do have an important meaning. I recommend going over the lyrics after your initial reactions without them.

Do yourself a favor and do what you said laying in bed and experience tool with an open mind, it’s a spiritual experience.

Drumcam

I would like to add, multiple climaxes, or, eargasms if you will.

This whole album is non casual listening. I think they made this for real fans. They made none of this for the radio. And good for them. It took me several listens to get the nuances of each song and I didn’t like them all at once. Each had its time in my head.

Been a Tool fan since Undertow and heard all the songs many times, I still get the same amazement from listening and still take a journey while listening. Check out The Patient, it is a sleeper for me. Really hits great even after all these years.

Im gonna be very upset the day when TOOL is no longer.

Check out the drum cam version!

Spot on my friend you give good face 😈🤣 great reaction

Must do drum cam version now!!! Enjoy..

you need to check fear inoculum from the same album its a great song

Do a reaction to polyphia watch your viewer base grow.... Goat Playing god Lit Od Look but don't touch... Basically anything..🔥🔥🔥

You were getting lost in the sauce my man. Me too every time with this song

lol lol lol. synthesizer or somethin lol. no.

Sex to the ears is a very good description!

If you haven’t already listened to Descending, get ready for a true EARGASM !!!

My recommendation...do what you said. Turn off all the lights and spiral out. Welcome to the journey

Congratulations, you have been Pneumatized

It's funny you mention aliens or being abducted. You should check out "Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned" by Tool. Read along with the lyrics. You'll enjoy that after this. lol.

Hahaha! Wait til you've heard it 20 times.... it just gets better and better.

Try Rosetta stone. It's about alien abduction. Awesome some .tool sings it also .and the grudge .and lateralusis.try those

TRIBAL ALIENS. New description for the win!

You're a king. def subbed 3 min into the video. The level of respect that you gave to this listen is awesome. Words will never explain how this group changed my life, and this song in particular is my favorite of all time. The way that you described it as a "musical experience" is the best way to understand it. That is exactly what i've tried to tell people. If you ever get to see them live... do not miss it. It's to this day, the most spiritual, chest pounding, and intense moment I've ever been apart of. Again, great videos and keep up the work brotha. Also - Im always looking for new sound so if you have anything special to you as tool is to me. please let us all know.

I couldn't pick up the time signature during the first part. I thought it made no sense. Then I realized when Maynard starts his part, the music is playing to his lyrics (his poem, really) rather than the other way around.

You are about to enter whole new universe (rock, metal...) Hit the gym 😁

8:06 - Your willingness to just go with it is something I respect greatly. You respect the music enough to go with it without reservation or judgement.

Tool especially Fear Innoculm is an experience not music

check the drum cam version of this song. impressive

Mad respect to you. Tool is a personal journey. Open ended enough for everyone to take it at a rate they are comfortable. Tool is special. Take your time and enjoy the ride.

Nice one, respect💪

Yep. We do fucking understand. 😉
