Tool - Invincible (REVIEW!) 

If you think I'm gonna watch a 40 min review you're totally right.

2 Tool songs that are not very requested but deserve a chance: Jambi and Right in Two

The comment made about “if you never got into Tool, it’s because you never actively listened to Tool. You just can’t casually listen to the them and appreciate it” is a spot on comment. You’re absolutely right brother.

46 years old, heard of tool, never heard them though. yesterday first time, now I'm 22 to again.....drumming in the living room and base in the bedroom. helllll yeah

I've been sitting on the toilet for over 40 minutes now. My legs won't work anymore.

Why not do other songs on the album? We’re tool fans, we don’t mind waiting.

2:33 "Mmm, I just love the way..." His thought trails off whilst he listens intently, but we all know exactly what you mean man. We know.

I, being a 53 yr old woman who raised 2 kids alone, enjoying 3 grandchildren now ❤ and HUSH being the first tool song I remember hearing, Invincible at this point, sums up life for me in reflection, yet empowers my roaring strength and fight that I still have left, in this game of life.

Tool - Right in Two!!

I don't know how I stumbled into this channel, but I just watched an impossibly long review of an impossibly long song and my faith in humanity has been restored.

I am a relatively new Tool fan, I discovered their music on this channel actually. I have listened to all their songs, and I really don't know if there will ever be a band of Tool's calibre. The most incredible band I have ever heard

I am not the biggest Tool fan ever, but this song is an absolute masterpiece, very very relatable.

"Tears in my eyes Chasing Ponce de Leon's phantom So filled with hope I can taste mythical fountains False hope, perhaps But the truth never got in my way Before now, feel the sting Feeling time bearing down" Writing does not get any better than this

Ryan is absolutely right about actively and casually listening to Tool

Until these two review Descending and 7empest I can not die.

I was a promising college athlete and wrecked my back when I was 19. Lost scholarship, all that fun stuff. Parabol/Parabola was always a theme song of mine "all this pain is an illusion" Now at 40 yrs old and all broken down with titanium holding my spine together, this song speaks to me a lot as well.

Of all Tool songs, The Grudge is a must.

Tool - The Grudge Edit: this did not age well lol

"we're only 4 mins in" is such a tool thing to say 😂

I am SO addicted to this song! I try to stop listening to it, fearing that I’ll get tired of it. But it keeps showing up and I love it more each time I hear it.

These guys truly get Tool, and how Tool fans treat Tool. I love how they understand why we love this group, but also understand why some just cant get into them.

Lost in Vegas knows how to do Christmas.

Listening to this song live is a WHOLE different experience. I remember when they started this song and being so amped. Just waiting for the climax. The crowd went INSANE

This song has the nastiest breakdown in music history.

"parabol" and parabola" definitely worth a listen.

first i was upset that the songs on this album are so long. I couldn't even finished one during my way back home from work. I'm not upset anymore. I take the longer route. Problem solved.

Honestly, Tool reactions are the most epic on your channel. On behalf of all your subscribers, please do more. Thank you!

19:40 Tool's transitions are beyond anything. Adam's ability to set up the next set of riffs by blending it into the current riff is elite and makes the transitions feel so smooth and natural.

Dear LostInVegas. Tool is coming to Las Vegas January 17 th. To the T-Mobile arena Don't miss it. The songs you love are even better in person. Please go and do a video talking about the experience!!!

7empest won grammy awward for best metal song. You HAVE to do it.

Turned 40 in August, my father died 3 weeks ago, this song speaks to me now on another level. Thank you Tool for helping me to cope.

This song helped me retire on my own terms from the Army. Had a long career but at the end, relevant and consequential really rung through. Who the hell makes a Ponce De Leon reference count like that. Feeling time bearing down, Amazing. Culling Voices is also amazing. Hope you enjoyed the concert. Saw them , for the second time on this tour, the next night in Phoenix and absolutely destroyed the place, even better than the first show.

Ive stopped choosing which song I like most on this album. It changes every listen and i dont care which one is best, they are all brilliant.

Maynard writes the melody AFTER the instrumental is done, which is why it fits so well. Also, seeing them live is even better, so I echo the comment that you should see them while they are in LV.

It did happen to me straight up. I had never gotten into Tool. Had listened to all their albums at least once back 2 or 3 years ago, but it was a "it's cool, but doens't quite do it for me" kind of reaction. Strange given that it's a style of music I really enjoy in general. About a month and a half ago I was in the gym, didn't feel like listening to anything in particular and thought "let's do some Tool". Played the first album. And sure enough, it was a combo of me having to do nothing else other than paying attention to the music and that it sounded damn good in those headphones, but they went right fucking into my brain. Since then I've been on a Tool rampage listening to them like 75% of the time I'm listening to music (which is many hours of the day). And I've both listened to and grabbed my guitar to play Pneuma don't even wanna know how many times. In a matter of a day Tool jumped into my top favourite bands. I'ts quite insane how great their music can sound once they do click.

Tool are masters at dynamics and polyrhythms. It doesnt sound like a jumbled up mess because they understand musically where to land on the "ONE" after separate parts and time signatures. Being a musician and percussionist in bands...that is EXTREMELY difficult to do. It is so easy to get lost. These guys have mastered it. They hardly ever hang out in 4/4. Love it. No words.🤘

Tool - Parabol/Parabola

Ryan is 100% right that you can’t really listen casually to a band like Tool because the music demands your full attention.

Re: 9:00 Truth. A Tool fan wants to share/introduce someone to the band - "Let me have 13 minutes of your undivided, fully engaged attention. No, you can't talk, you just have to listen." Many people don't have the attention span to engage with the music on that time scale. This tune brought me to tears the first time I rode it. The sense of loss I felt at the first faux ending at about 7 mins was unbelievably deep, and the elation that followed as it continued without a pause was equally high. The second faux ending with the measure of silence, again, felt like a friend had died, when they kicked back in for the last 2 minutes I was legit screaming "YEAH!!!!! IT'S NOT OVER!!!!" while driving alone down the highway. So filling.

The album is the best song on the album.

“What’s your favorite Tool song on Fear Innoculum?” Whatever song I’m listening to.

One of the best Christmas gifts I could have asked for.

Ryan nailed it when he talked about how you can't casually listen to Tool and really appreciate everything put into the music. That's why you always hear something new every time you listen. Spot on Ryan.

I listened to the entire album 4 times through when it dropped on Spotify, and like all the Tool albums before, I was not gripped. But, I know Tool has a slow-burn-on-the-soul effect, so I trusted if I kept listening, each song would emerge. This is why Tool is my favorite band; the songs don’t capture or infect me, like ear-worm ridden pop songs do; they are more like intricate landscapes my inner light illuminates as it gets turned on and tuned up.

This song is basically: Do we still got it? f*ck yeah we do

This album should be album of the year.

Right in Two might be my favorite Tool song of all. If the song was an instrumental only, it would be incredible by itself. But with Maynard's lyrics, this song strikes a chord and is more poignant today than it has ever been.

I love you two so much. I'm a thirty years plus Tool fan&I appreciate how you both love them as much as I do.

Never clicked so fast on a video.

The song is about getting old... It's about reminiscing about the crazy days of your youth, and how you felt invincible, but now in your 40s you're just beating tired bones, your invincible armour is wearing thin, and your shield is heavy.

I’m incredibly happy to have y’all, I’ve been a subscriber since 60k. Soon a million so freakin cool. I’ve shared you guys with everyone I know almost. Always makes me happy to watch y’all in difficult times. Thx dudes

Tool is almost the definition of "the more times you hear it...."

Tool - The Grudge is an absolute must

Everyone in the world is a Tool fan, there's some that just don't know it yet.

This is a masterpiece for the soul. It hits on all levels. Wow.

3:49 Bellow aloud Bold and proud Of where I've been But here I am I think this will be my favourite vocal melody for a very long time...so enchanting and beautiful

What I actually love the most is how everyone was, at first, saying the album was underwhelming because it wasnt as heavy as some albums and even too complex. But now people are united in their discussion about what song is the biggest masterpiece worthy for an analysis. Its just such an awesomely balanced album... Every song is unique and deeply layered

Eulogy, for when you go back to classic tool. Eulogy is a must, or third eye

I’m a huge member of the Tool army, pun intended. What I really like is how Tool’s songs hold up amongst the musicality and their sound. 1 thing I love is that Maynard’s lyrics are so poignant and relevant going back to the days of Opiate all the way through. I first watched this review the day you released it and I keep coming back to it as your review of it is a bit like Tool’s music. It’s stands up to the test of time too. Same in other reviews going back to Iron maiden, Rush, Opeth etc etc. Love the old and new reviews. Keep them coming guys!

I love this song. It speaks to me as it inspired me during this past year to overcome depression. It gives me chills everytime and I smile

The power of TOOL . ."This really is beautiful" . . 5 minutes later he's bangin' his head with the Stank face on.. "This is SO nasty"

Vicarious Vicarious Vicarious

Many pan this TOOL LP as not a fave ..I personally love it. It’s such a cerebral journey that deserves your 100% attention without distractions. I usually listen to it in its entirety, reclined with my headphones…eyes closed. Smoke some flower, it’s even better 😎

Man, you guys have the BEST content. Ya'll deserve your own show.

I feel like TOOL is basically telling a tale of everyone's lives in this song. No matter how different we all are. How we are all warriors who battle others, ourselves, and time itself, ultimately for us all to lose the battle vs time in the end.

This is the greatest song Tool has ever done. Ever. It's that epic; the subject matter is powerful, it speaks to so many people and in so many walks of life. It gives me chills every single time I hear it and it's such an emotional journey. This is the pinnacle of Tool for me.

Ryan has that look of intense anticipation and George is just feelin it! You two are killin it! About the 4th time I've watched this and still vibing. 🤘🤘

As always and from 2017, i love u guys, it's so great to see you open up musically so much. Forever a follower, Israel from Mexico.

Its funny how Gerorge talks about how they let Danny loose and do his thing in the song, not knowing there is an entire drum solo track on the album.

As a Veteran, this song speaks on so many levels

So refreshing to see an intellectual, thought-out, and very detailed review of a Tool song...especially from ppl newer to the Tool world and culture. Said it best when you said this is not for casual listeners. That is their intention. Their music is far beyond surface deep. You guys gave a thorough review which shows your obvious intelligence. Tip of the the hat to you fellas. I'll definitely watch more reviews from you guys. Note: No coincidence that it was a 40 min review on a Tool song.

The best album ever recorded

It would be criminal to not do Tempest come on guys

This song and album are nothing less than a masterpiece.

Great video, spot on commentary, it was nice vibing with yall while listening to this song

This song has one of my favorite guitar parts that Adam Jones has played, and I love all their songs, pneuma blew my mind when I first heard it just like you guys, that was actually the first tool song that actually got me hooked on them (I know I’m late to the party) but since I heard that song they’ve opened my mind so much and their entire catalog is just so good, I love seeing your reactions to this stuff cuz that’s exactly how I felt hearing these songs

as a veteran this song speaks to me as a struggle with PTSD

This has become my favorite tool song, having just turned 40. I feel it resonating in a deep personal place in my soul.

very insightful review, thanks guys!

"This is cold" is the best three word review of Fear Inoculum

Totally agree with the 'Active Listening' comment. If you just try to casually listen, the music's complexity it self would just confuse, and without the lyrics the soul of the music is not there.

Skipping 7empest is a sin guys. You will be stunned when you listen to it, please listen to it for the first time in the reaction video. I wanna see your mind blowing up.

Love you guys. Sincerily, a TOOL fan since '92-FLS.

These 4 musicians are so tapped with spirit. Being so intrinsically connected to spirit enables such unique improvisations within the layers adding to the richness and texture they contribute, individually.

Legend has it, they are still starting and stopping the same part of Danny's solo to this day, discussing it's copious levels of overall and nuanced nastiness.

This was my most played song for 2019 on Spotify even though it came out in like September

You guys are amazing! Getting to hear your guy's opinion just resonates with me. I appreciate it.

Amazing review guys! Great commentary. You guys have a great understanding for what Tool’s music is about...

Tool is playing in Las Vegas soon! You guys need to go! Its a whole other experience.

BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM. ONE OF THE SONGS PLAYED AT MY LITTLE BROTHER'S FUNERAL. HAD THE PLACE ROCKIN. LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU LITTLE BROTHER.

Back 4 years later. Saw Tool for the first time on Sunday and it was a life changing experience. They played this song…man they’re amazing.

Damn, you guys are making my day with this! Thank you so much!!

"We're only 4 minutes in" Just Tool things.

What they really should do is wings for Marie, both parts

This is the example of why you don't judge a Tool song just by listening to the beginning of the song.

The love of music from you guys is infectious

23 minutes in and you haven't even hit the halfway point of the song because the ramp up keeps rocking your skull -- yeah, its a Tool review! Love it. Even if you don't review it, you gotta listen to 7empest, because it is just an absolute masterpiece.

PARABOL/PARABOLA FOR CHRIST SAKE, IT IS A MUST!!

I started watching because tool, but I keep watching because you guys do a phenomenal job expressing your own feelings regardless of genre, style or quality. So, nice work fellas. Keep it up. Thanks, Joe from Wyoming

Luv their appreciation for great music! George & Ryan “feel” the music which is why this channel.....wait........ROCKS! 🎶
