That moment when you fall in love... [First Reaction] TOOL - Descending 

This is the greatest band of all time in my opinion. Lyrically and rhythmically

You nailed it. TOOL is my generations PINK FLOYD. ✌️

Tool isn't just a band. They are an experience!!

Tool changed not only the way i listen to music but to an extent how i live my life, talk and listen to my own voice.....just the greatest band i have ever heard and my absolute fave in the world.....spiral out..

In an interview years ago Maynard was asked if the money was good and how he felt about being a Rock Star. Maynard for those who don’t know is the singer of TOOL and also writes the lyrics for all songs. He responded if they can’t make songs that help people become better human beings or help them deal with problems and tragedies that happen in life then he wouldn’t be making music for just the money. He also says he does not like the term Rock Star and he sure doesn’t want anybody to call him that. And if you follow TOOLs discography you can tell he meant what he said.

"Stir us from our wanton slumber" is the theme for the last 3 years. Welcome to TOOL Army. More please. Greatest band ever. Not a single bad song.

I think this album is one of the best albums ever recorded! Tool reinvented prog rock music in a really cool way 🫶🏼

Awesome reaction. Tool is my favorite band, all time. I'm 61 and grew up with Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Rush. Tool is the contemporary component I was looking for back in the late 90s. Every album, every track is so good and original, with such intelligent lyrics and musicianship. I would recommend next two songs: Pneuma and Right In Two. Enjoy the Tool journey, you won't want it to end.Btw, I've been to nine of their concerts and they are an incredible sonic and visual experience, if you ever get the chance and they're touring now!

The danger with TOOL is that any one of their songs can bring you to tears on any given day.

Glad you were happy with my suggestion. I hope this will lead to more reactions to their music. You're going to love this rabbit hole.

Not a single bad song in entire catalogue. Every song takes you on a journey, no other band does that… Not even Pink Floyd

Welcome to your new favorite band. Welcome to the TOOL army. If I could jump through the internet I would give you a big celebratory hug. Watching people discover TOOL is our (TOOL Army regulars) greatest joy. Get used to us telling you that TOOL a) does not have a bad song b) each song you listen to will be your new favorite TOOL song c) they are the greatest band ever d) their live shows are next level e) you should just react to their entire discography f) every song sounds different than the last, but it always sounds like TOOL and g) SPIRAL OUT!! 🌀

Who makes an album with SEGUES, INTERLUDES, BACKWARD MESSAGES, HIDDEN TRACKS, TEMPO CHANGES, ALBUM ART, INCREDIBLE ENGINEERING, THOUGHT PROVOKING LYRICS? TOOL. ✌️

Oof you entered a rabbit hole. TOOL will amaze you with every song.

Thank you for not stopping 50 times during the song to comment or read lyrics like most reactionists!!!

Pure sonic and lyrical wizardry! Tool is the greatest musical journey you will ever experience. Their music changes lives.

Other songs you should check out, Vicarious, The Pot, Lateralus, Sober, Schism, Wings for Marie & 10000 Days (Listen together, Part 1 and Part 2, Song about Maynard's Mother), 46 & 2, Aenema, and Right in Two are all great picks. All of TOOL's stuff is amazing but those are the songs that spoke to me. I'll also admit my guitar playing style is very similar to Adam Jones' style so I may be biased.

It's just incredible how, after so many years not putting any record out and them getting older, they can still output some timeless classics the way they did with this album. Most bands are only a reflection of what they once were once they are out for so long, Tool came back with an absolute banger of an album in which I can say some of the songs are amongst my favorites. Was a bit afraid it would be an "old tired Tool" playing mostly on nostalgia, but no. Sure, most of the album is a bit calmer than what they typically do, but the sound is so mature and the themes fit their journey perfectly. It's absolutely innovating on their sound, yet we can still easily call it a Tool album and know that its their sound, even they it evolved. They are really one of a kind.

This is an interesting first song for a Tool reaction.

The Pink Floyd comparison is absolutely spot on. These guys have pushed guitar music to new heights. Greatest band that ever was...

When I say you’ve only scratch the surface of their discography, you have no idea. Their music will change how you view music.

I really appreciate that she quietly listened to the whole song before commenting. It was great watching her face go from a cautious skepticism to really feeling it and enjoying the song.

Seeing you feel the music made my morning. Please continue with the Tool reacts!

And just like that, another Tool fan is born. Welcome to your new reality sister. 😊

This is the best song on this album hands down. And the instrumental is the most epic thing i have ever heard.

Not a lot of people notice it's the ocean at the beginning and end of the song. It's as if the song maps out the struggle of human existence and possible ruin. We came (crawled out) from the waves and can be ended by them as well if we aren't mindful. We need to become caretakers of this planet instead of destroyers or all too soon the planet will take everything back and shrug us off. End of story. "Falling isn't flying, floating isn't infinite" are my favorite lines too. Great reaction!❤🤘

Welcome aboard this beautiful journey called TOOL! I'm 63 and experience a lot of great music, but this band is on a whole other level! Can't wait to see them this fall! It is an experience to behold!

You picked one of their greatest songs ever written as your first reaction.

This band. It offers its influences the greatest honour. It praises the greats before them, but takes those and cements them into something even more transcendent. Truly a Tool of music. There will be nothing like this ever again

Tool are masters of TONE! Their brilliance really shines in being able to set and carry intense emotion throughout their compositions, something I firmly believe no one can match.

The TOOL rabbit hole is about as deep as you can possibly get.

When you described what your favorite music style was at the end of your video, that's the very definition of Tool. It's my favorite band ever and fortunately if you go down the Tool rabbit hole it will be your favorite too. Bonus: you will also gain alot of subscribers. Tool fans love watching Tool reaction videos. I'm going to subscribe and hopefully see more Tool reactions from you. In fact I'm going to suggest the song Lateralus for the next one.

There's no wrong way to get into their music, but starting at the beginning and going in chronological order is a really cool way to see how they've kept their style through the years but also evolved a ton

Tool is definitely an experience if you enjoy music on a deeper level. And yes it’s a good representation of their music. Great reaction.

Straight into the deep end starting a TOOL journey on Descending.

Thank you for not stopping the song and waiting to give your reaction at the end!!! This was a great song to start off to if you're into Floyd definitely. The live version of "Third Eye" off their Salival box set would be a good one for you to react to. I've seen a decent video from back then of them doing this one too.

If intelligent lyrics and ridiculous musical skill are your thing, then Rush should clearly be on your to-do list. Anything from their classic era from 2112 up through Moving Pictures would be a good choice. Personally, I'd argue for Hemispheres, which is sort of their peak of extended metaphor over highly musical complexity. And of course the title song from the 2112 album would be another epic one to get into, and would be Xanadu, The Trees, and many others.

Tool brought me here and I'm staying for your fantastic reaction style! Looking forward to your Tool journey!

This is the most unique band you’ll ever find.

Going to a Tool show is absolutely amazing, it is not of this earth, rather on a spiritual level. Life changing event.

That gong to release the tension gets me every time.

Parobal + parabola is my absolute favourite tool song and I think you'll love it too. Other good ones to start out are 46&2, the grudge, pnuema. But you cant go wrong with closing your eyes and throwing a dart at their entire discography and going from there lol.

This is your first song from Tool ever!? This is your first listen!? This song is to me one of their magnum opus songs the epitome of their career, their spiritual growth, their lyricism, instrumental skill and message to humanity as the tool of the light and love of the All! It was a long journey that involved many songs and messages like this that you would just truly love and make your own. I am so glad you found them and this message at this time in our lives/evolution/awakening/ascension! Great timing. I think you would love these others by them: "Right in two, Wings for Marie parts 1 and 2, Fear inoculum, Pneuma, Jambi, The Patient, Parabola, and 46 & 2." Just to name some of their more thought provoking. All of them are a journey including what we fans call the 3 song "Holy Trinity" of Tool. Will leave that for you to find out. Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing this experience with you. Made my evening. All the love and light to you.

that is the magic of tool three of the greatest musians in history and they hand the music over to maynard and his words and structure and voice make it so beautiful it hurts....

As a fan since the 90s I was blown completely away by this Album. It is a true masterpiece and this song is my favorite. Tool Army forever❤

This song brings me to tears every time. A sonic symphony that’s ready for you even if you aren’t ready for it. 🌀

At ahe 61 ,Tool has been my favorite band since first heard Maynard sing

I enjoyed your emotional/spiritual/physical reaction to this song. I've been watching reaction videos for a number of years now and they've taught me so much about people's souls and how they are expressed, both musically, in the songs, but also, and especially so, how reactors like you are, quite literally (me too, every time) taken away on a deep journey. Thank you for being so open to the song. It's a lot to take in, but one thing it does for me, is allow some degree of peace from a very active mind. Blessed be. : )

"Falling isn't flying" is one of my favorite Maynard quotes. Words to live by.

Oh

This song has become one of my favorite songs of all time. Top 10 for sure.

Hi, you listen Tool 'Pneuma', 'Lateralus', 'Parabol and Parabola', 'Third eye.

welcome to TOOL Army ...... drum cam video PNEUMA is certainly something you should check out. You've mentioned you've loved the drums ..... Danny Carrey is one of the greatest drummer on earth! Justin and Adam are master on their instruments and Maynard is an instrument by his own....... your reaction was spot on!!!

Everything Tool does is not just a musical masterpiece, its and experience! There is no other band that I know of that only releases new music sometimes decades after the previous stuff. This goes to show that they will not release anything until it is completely perfected! The song "Lateralus" was written using the Fibonacci sequence...go check it out!

You've just entered the rabbit hole that will either change or affirm everything. Enjoy the ride. Spiral out 🌀

Somehow Tool always leaves you asking "How did we get there from there?" "How can I have experienced so much in such a little time?"

Love how you let the music take you somewhere..might as well do the whole album every song will do that

I cry every time I see someone fall in love with Tool. This is definitely not my favorite Tool track, but every Tool track is a blessing to humanity ❤️

Ha. Tool fan made. Honest reaction. Glad to hear lyrics read. Thank you. 😊❤👽🕉

Great Reaction, I could see the emotion on your face. Descending is a good representation of the latest album. Tool is about the journey through the songs but also through their discography. I think you are going to love it all and I will watch every Tool reaction you put up....Spiral Out! 🌀🌀🌀🪐🌌

Love that you read the lyrics first...very smart... especially important on this track... you'll love this song soo much more when ur singing along. My fav tool song. I've heard every tool song 100 times over...never gets old

Bienvenida al universo Tool, veo que te ha llegado dentro,da gusto ver una primera reacción como la tuya, espero que reacciones a más canciones de Tool, de este último álbum por ejemplo invincible, culling voices...

TOOL is very unique and have own style, many different colours in their music but always listening their song is like traveling to somewhere new to you. Enjoy, you must like them. I like Invincible, the Pot , pneuma and so many songs of TOOL.

I love this song!!! And I love you for reacting to this and I ❤ your reaction!!

Welcome to our newest TOOL Army recruit! Subscribed just so I can enjoy watching your 3rd eye opening!

Definitely in my top 5 Tool songs. On repeat always. 🤘🏽

My favorite band! More Tool reactions, I'm here for it. I recommend Lateralus next. #SpiralOut

I love your smile when the music hits you.

Wonderful aren't they? I love that you take the time to appreciate the lyrics. That being the case, do yourself a favor and listen to 10000 days and Wings for Marie. Technically a 2 part, it relates to Maynard's (lyricist and lead vocals) mother and how she fell ill. 10,000 days is the equivalent to the time she spent in a wheelchair, struck down in her prime. Judith Marie ( his mother) was a devout Christian, whose faith never wandered, despite her having been stricken down. The church shunned her, saying she must have done something to deserve it. These 2 are extremely powerful, and I caution you that it may well be a very emotional journey. Please, do yourself a favor, and take them in. There is also a subsequent song from A perfect Circle ( another Maynard venture) called Judith. Maynard has some strong views on this. To the point that they have only ever played these live 1 time I believe. It's too hard for him. Maynard preforms with every fiber of his being, as is evidenced by the 1993 live performance video of Sober...Chilling. New sub!

Take any Tool album, lay on the floor between your speakers, listen from front to back. It will be worth it, promise!

@PandoraPlaysMusic 46 & 2 is all about one's shadow, ego, and evolution. ✌️

TOOL is the GOAT. Spiral out 🌀🌀🌀👁🤘🏼

Tool! That's my favorite Band. Welcome to the rabbit hole of Tool! Enjoy this Band is Great!

Tool. Just took my son twice in less than 2 years. Unreal experience. You also have a new fan. The fact that you let the music just play and comment before then after is so cool. I just subscribed. Thank you.

Welcome to the Tool Army!🎉 You don't just listen to Tool, you Experience Tool... You won't be disappointed with any of their songs!

Tool is life changing.

Thank you for letting the song finish without interruptions, with your face you said a lot of things

Oh boy, you are in for a treat lol. Time to spiral out 🌀

Descending deeper into consciousness spiral out

Amazing reaction. Really looking forward to watching you experience Tool. You already get it!!!

If you like this one I HIGHLY recommend Invincible. It’s from the same album and is just as great as Descending

Wow, you entered the wonderful rabbit hole that is TOOLs music with a big one! Cannot wait to see you react to more of their catalogue. Subscribed. #ToolArmy will follow you on your journey. 🌀

I can never listen to this song, or many of their other without crying. Every song of theirs be it the music or the lyrics, are so beautiful I can’t help but just submit myself to the power of it all and all myself to just let it pour out. Almost forgot. Thank you. ❤

oh boy this was great cant wait for you to discover parabol/parabola, the grudge and lateralus and so so many more

Here for TOOL. And yes, all their music is deep and profound like this one is.

fascinating. i've watched a few people react to Tool for the first time and like it immediately. but i haven't seen such a quietly expressive reaction before. that was delightful. she was being tossed around like she was in a washing machine at first then surrendered to the flow and was moving her head and body like she'd been listening to Tool for years. title not clickbait, ONE OF US, ONE OF US, ONE OF US!

Jumping straight into an amazing band’s magnum opus. Definitely check out more. Their music always sounds like tool but each song is unique. I take the water sounds bookending the song as the earth was here before us and it will be here after us.

If this song is your cup of tea then Tool is the band for you! Arguably the best band of our time! THERE ARE RULES WHEN REACTING TO TOOL!! 1. Do not use videos. They are too distracting. Lyric videos only. 2. If you pause during the song you need to take it back about 10 seconds when you restart. 3. Try not to worry too much about catching a steady beat. Tool plays all odd time signatures and with long phrasings. Listen to songs as a whole...for the "feel." And, so that you know, you have now aquired the Tool Army! When a reactor is intelligent like yourself we all want to watch your first time experience. You can only hear Tool for the first time once so we will be living vicariously through you as you explore their catalog. Spiral out!!! Keep going!!! 🌀👁🌀

Great song to start with!! They don’t have one bad song that’s actually a song, they use some musical intermissions on albums that they give title names to. Enjoy the journey, favorite band of all time and the best band of all time in my opinion. Zeppelin and Pink Floyd influenced

Welcome to the TOOL army, the next song on your musical journey is Lateralus (audio version) off the Lateralus album, another magical, life-changing experience!

I listen to this song at least once a day.

Tool is your jam for sure!!! Please do more!!

The Greatest Band On Earth for countless reasons in my opinion... They are all geniuses, which is a big reason why it takes them so long to have an album ready to set loose on us, and they are always worth the wait...I was inducted into The Tool Army in 1991 when they were the opening band at The Big Mele on the island of Oahu, Hawaii and have been All In ever since... Have been fortune enough to see them multiple times over the years, and they just get better and better... That instrument you couldn't put your finger on was more than likely Justin Chancellor playing bass, like no one else can...Adam Jone's guitar tone, timing, and feeling is a world unto itself, Danny The Mystic Octopus Carey is the world's greatest drummer, hands down, again in my opinion, and of course, Maynard's mind blowing lyrics, powerful and unreplaceable vocals tie it the experience all together... Majestic, perfect word to describe them... TOOL ARMY FOR LIFE 💪🏽🧠🤙🏽

You can literally pick any song and it'll be amazing

More por favor! No bad songs in the discography, always fun to start off with earlier stuff and see how they progressed over 30 years

Love watching you react to the tool

Tool song recommendations: ALL OF THEM! Welcome to the Tool Army, watch your views and subscriber numbers go up! Enjoy your musical journey.✌️❤️

This song is genius, it is my favourite song ever. You gotta check out the rest of this album, fear inoculum and pneuma being my favourites. Their album Lateralus with The grudge, Reflection and the title track Lateralus. As well as their album 10000 days, with Jambi, Right in two, and Vicarious

Great reaction! Now, go grab yourself some tickets and see them live. 😎

More TooL !!!!! Reaction videos of TooL allow me to live “vicariously”through experiencing all TooL all over again. Also allow the song to play to its entirety is a major plus. Enjoy the ride it’s never ending.
