71 years of age, been listening to rock since it first existed. This album is one of the top ten best I have heard in over six decades. Tool is amazing.
It warms my heart to see comments like this. I absolutely cherish whatever time we have left with our elder statesmen of rock and its great to see that you sir still have a healthy love and enthusiasm for music like this. I've been a rock fan since my teen years in the 90's and Tool was one of the first hard rock/metal bands I got into.
RIP To my Uncle, died two weeks ago never getting to hear this, Danny Carey was his favorite drummer. EDIT: Thanks Tool Family for all of the love. You guys are all wonderful, I'm very grateful.
I am a 1,200 year old highlander, moving silently down through the centuries. Discovering Tool has changed my life, easily my favourite band, and there can be only one. I can't wait to see what the next 1,200 years of music brings.
They were literally like, “Let’s write a song that represents every era of our career.” It legitimately sounds like every album’s sound rolled into one. Its incredible.
@@markgood9453 Leftovers? I don't hardly think so. And if they are leftovers, it's in the same way that real, homemade fried rice is leftovers; in that you're taking multiple things that were good to begin with and transforming them into something better which you were actually looking forward to to begin with, which is way you made extras/didn't eat it all to begin with. And what you're ultimately left with is something greater than the sum of its parts which could best be described as "comfort food."
I am in LOVE with this song but the part at around 14:20 and later really reminds if the pot, and it does sound like unused riffs from older albums. but its great!
I'm an old sixties fart and Black Sabbath first woke me almost 50 years ago. Different bands obviously (not comparing) and must say Tool has re-awoken me. 68 and again rocking and it feels gooooooood! Edit... guitar riffs = far out. percussion = perfection. Music like this will forever rule and never f-----g die! This may well become my fave... Peace.
I was born in western Prussia in 1728. The sense of anticipation preceding the release of this album reminded me of the feeling of excitement in central Europe prior to the release of Beethoven's ninth symphony. I'm one of the original fans, and so thankful to my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson for introducing my to Tool in the early '90s. Completely changed my life.
Absolute chills hearing the final 10 seconds of this song and realizing it finishes what 10,000 Days started! The bells at the beginning of Vicarious are at the end of 7empest! Purely incredible!
@@lrrs1 well mate, then you should better adjust your expectations really. Artists are ever-evolving individuals, you can't expect the same musical directions and ideas that span 12+ years now, or can you?
Can still remember the first time I heard Sober, been hooked ever since. I'm now 42, have loved every album. Maynard is constantly evolving, it's what people do. This album is different than the others, but it's still TOOL and still kicks so much fucking ass. Will be happy to wait another 13
Unless you like different music or bands. What u just said is about as legit as saying "I like chocolate ice cream, so chocolate ice cream is best" . You child
This tune sounds like it coulda been on an early album, but with the clarity and refinement that only years of musical experience and craftsmanship can bring. Just shows how these guys are absolute masters of their art and always have been.

I am 115 years old, I am blind, cannot stand and can barely hear. I am living my days in crippling agony. Despite this, I cannot believe I just discovered this band. Such beautiful music it is all curing my ailments and giving me knew life. I take pity on those who will never experience this magical cure for blindness and crippling pain
@@kevinlong4657 I don't think they could've chosen a better ending. You get all these beautiful and kind of tense songs in the album almost like the... calm before the storm? And then you get this epic finisher to release all the tension built through out the album. Now don't get me wrong I'm not saying you have to hear the whole album in one sitting, the songs work really well alone. But! They work exceptionally well as an album.
A complete summary of their anthology in one song - this may be Tool's masterpiece over time. This song gives you just about every element of their sound and complexity. Brilliant song
To right you are, plus they added a new tone, the 20th century has been a massive act of self healing through the arts we are trying to find a doorway, or at-least describe it to another. "][" {[]} {[]} |]_ has found a way to present such a door its up to those with the courage to turn the knob and walk through the door for themselves given the "tools," they need.
@@Lukas-kh5gu Just hear an anthology of their sounds, from Sober and the Undertow Album all the way through - hints of 46&2, Jimmy, Lateralus, just a broad walk through. But I will admit this was my initial reaction to the first time hearing it. Was the vibe I got. We'll see how this matures with me.
@@JR-ol6xj Third Eye was an experiment; a song from a band stretching its wings as it emerged. 7empest is that band full-fledged and emerged adult. This is coming from someone who thinks that Tool reached its peak with Aenima.
@@mertmunson1417 True that. Even the clueless shitheads at the scammies know brilliance when they hear it. I think there is 4 in total now. Well deserved gentleman.
Considering who else has a Grammy, or even multiples - e.g. Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Kanye, Gaga, fucking Fergie - I feel like it's a minor accomplishment, these days. Tool deserves something an order of magnitude more prestigious.
I know someone else already commented this but... This song is basically a Tool medley, walking chronologically through all their previous albums. If you listen carefully, you can tell how it loosely transitions from style-to-style, album by album. Absolutely gold.
I am 74, former meth addict, I love this music it reminds me of my son who died in afghanistan (can't spell it) also my wife died recently in a car accident (she was drunk though) so this album is really comforting. I do find that with my failing memory & health - sometimes the album just sounds like a BUNCH OF OUTTAKES FROM LATAERALUS. Also my son wasn't fighting in afghanistan (can't spell it) he was just on holiday & fell down a well. SUPPORT OUR TROOPS.
That's... If fake, that's a beautiful and very careful post-modernist twist on a "let's turn comment section into a random epitaph" trope. If not you are a beautiful man with a very clumsy son
This song is perfect!! What's awesome is that Justin said in a interview Adam started writing this song before he joined the band. It was almost put on 10,000 days or at least strongly considered. but Adam felt like it still wasn't ready so he held off. In all honesty that's probably why the song is a perfect piece of music. It's long, the technicality level is much higher than average compared to other tool songs. And the song is not repetitive. He had a perfect mix of shredding and Restraint mixed with making every note stand out. Well done Adam Jones! I'm honestly glad Maynard held back on his vocals deliberately. He knew damn well the musicianship be displayed is downright outstanding. That is literally the reason why he held back on his vocals on this on purpose. He wanted his bandmates to get the spotlight. Danny said that he said that was a huge compliment from Maynard that he did that.
I've been a longtime Tool fan. It's a pleasant surprise to read an interesting detailed informative comment. Most are examples of douche baggery being spewed unsolicited by the goofus roofuses of the fan base.
I'm 55. Been listening to them since I first heard Aenima. Then I worked my way backwards and now forward. Every time I listen to their music, I hear something new. Keep on rocking brother!!
Brainwashed religious fanatics like christians have always told other people that Rock and Heavy Metal music is "Evil". But what isn't "evil" to them ? EVERYTHING is "evil" to them because they will DEMONIZE everything, anyone, and everyone that does not worship their fake religion full of lies. They will demonize everything they do not understand, and they understand NOTHING, therefore they will demonize EVERYTHING ( including YOU if you question them on their stupid beliefs that they need to protect - as darkness PROTECTS in their illusions of the blind Ego-mind). As they have no depth whatsoever, which is why they cannot understand anything. as they're always at the surface of images of their blind ego-mind of silly beliefs. They're Totally SHALLOW in their DARKNESS and their total self hatred. So they DEMONIZE everything and hate everything and hate the world, and hate all of nature, they have absolutely NO PRESENCE!!, They hate the Earth like no other, as its a reflection of their Self hatred.. in their cold and closed inner prisons of endless Bondage and hells within them. But the Divine Truth is, Heavy Metal and Rock music is a divine creation of the infinite intelligence of the Universe of Spirit and Nature, to wake humanity up, hence why it's LOUD and Screaming ! Heavy Metal and Rock music started out as being the "REBEL" music of society during the psychedelic (sacred divine plants) era. As EVERYTHING in human society is a LIE (even your American holidays are ALL totally fake man-made lies, as humans are stupid enough to believe christmas has something to do with a persons birthday, search "America's occult holidays" to see the total sham of it all).. And since Rock music and Heavy Metal is the Rebel of society, and EVERYTHING in Human western society is a LIE, then OBVIOUSLY there will be far FAR more Truths in Heavy Metal. Rock N' Roll and Heavy Metal music is absolutely LOADED with infinite Spiritual Truths that the ego-based mind is afraid to see and afraid to understand. There is NO genre of music on the planet that "ASKS" so many deep questions as heavy metal and rock music. And that's why christian idiots have to label it as "evil" , as they have absolutely no answers to anything, therefore they HATE any deep questions ! Because they hate themselves. Listen to rock bands that speak about the illusion of time, and alchemy of sacred divine plants, And speak also your divine 7-chakras in their songs. As well as talking about the countless lies of the "I" as who you think you are is total illusion (just as Corrosion of conformity does so well through their discography). Those 4 things are vital, and when you do you will find beautiful Spiritual music from bands like Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian, Death, Testament, Epica, Amenra, Isis, Dio, Neurosis (very special band !!), and Tool, Black Sabbath, and Queensryche (and many more), as well as softer magical bands like Pink Floyd and Neil Young etc, that is speaking to Soul (not the ego-mind) ;-) . Fake 'party" bands like the van halen's and the ac/dc's of the world cannot touch these bands. And stay away from "Nu metal" bands and 'commercial bands like the Limp Bizkit's of the world and the Papa Roach's of the world. It's total society garbage about the blind ego-mind, or about labeling and blaming (like pathetic pop diva's and eminem who are always labeling and blaming in stupidity of victim consciousness), and "victim consciousness" nonsense that doesn't serve you in any way. < 3 A band like "Blind Guardian" for example is loaded with beautiful Spiritual truths in their music catalog. It's very deep so you have to look beyond what people tell you what the songs mean. Don't follow "labels" of what other people say the songs mean as the mind can only label things at the surface of images and is blind, as these songs all mean YOU in many deep ways that the left-brain thinking ego mind of thought cannot see or understand. In one of my Ayahuasca ceremonies after total surrender of the ego as I surpassed the illusions of death, eye was given the sword of light from the Universe. The sword of Light came through me in magical beauty as I was downloaded massive amounts of knowledge love and wisdom through my heart chakra. This magical sword is far beyond how you see a sword in a picture in the illusions of images as this sword is multi-dimensional as I became "one" with the sword, the sword was me and I was the sword, as ONE in infinite beauty and magic in the 5th dimension of Consciousness. The sword of Light is only to be used for love and light and becoming in full awareness of my Soul purposes and missions on this planet to help awaken humanity out of the countless illusions of human society. Not a sword that can ever be used to harm anyone or anything. And through that experience I was taken back to Blind Guardian's "Somewhere Far Beyond" album that I listened to as a young man in the early 1990's, and Mother Ayahuasca showed me that Blind Guardian album cover and she said to me: " You see Robert, You have always been one of the chosen ones of Light, and you will always be one of the chosen ones of Light" .. and she showed me what a sword really means (that has absolutely nothing to do with what silly humans think a sword means as the blind human mind takes everything beautiful and sacred and twists it in countless lies).. Blind Guardian's "Somewhere Far Beyond" album cover is an Ayahuasca circle, with the Shaman playing Ayahuasca icaro's at the top through some kind of flute in the shape of an Ayahuasca vine on his chest, the flute at the bottom pointing to the light at the center of the circle. And he's elevated above everyone else sitting on a stool and wearing a crown (not just a hood like the others). And he also has a condor sitting on his shoulder (the highest flying bird that also has the ability to shift between Spiritual dimensions). In Ayahuasca art you will see the condor depicted quite often, and for infinite good reasons. Ayahuasca is the oldest and purest, and is by far the most effective form of Spiritual practice on the planet. Nothing could be more obvious as you listen to that album ;-) I so clearly remember as a child listening to heavy metal during the 1980's, & entire worlds opened up for me, bands such as Iron Maiden, Testament, Sabbath, Dio, and other great bands such as "Death" and Queensryche ( "Roads To Madness" by Queensryche for example is an Eternal Spiritual Truths classic), etc. A little later on in the early 1990's I got into the beauty of Blind Guardian with their beautiful album 'Somewhere Far Beyond". So many beautiful things that fake bands like ac/dc could never come close to offering. I never understood when people would tell me that Heavy Metal music is far too heavy to get into and too overwhelming. I always laughed, since I was a child, how people would tell me that this isn't music, but only loud cannons firing. I ALWAYS laughed as they tried so hard to sway me, but could never sway me an inch. From family members to friends to pathetic pastors in churches (and let me tell you that you will NEVER find more fake people on the planet than fear-monger pastors and priests in churches), as nobody hates our beautiful Mother Earth and Nature and divides people's more with hatred than pastors in churches, and they mostly hate themselves. And I never once cared for their blind and pathetic opinions, I always laughed hysterically inside. I always laughed hysterically how they couldn't "get it." . Because to me, when listening to heavy metal, it was always a blissful sweet symphony of beauty !! For me, it was always so soft, and wonderful, so welcoming, and Magical !! I feel so sorry for the humans that have no capability to ever understand the beauty of real heavy metal music, because heavy metal has so many beautiful Spiritual messages from the infinite Universe that the blind ego-based mind of duality is afraid to see, and afraid to understand. Mother Ayahuasca showed me in infinite ways how Heavy Metal music was so vital and so beautiful in so many magical ways for my Spiritual growth. And this magical band of beauty, Blind Guardian, was absolutely Massive and monumental for my Spiritual journey of the Universe of be-ing and infinite truths of beauty of Light and Spirit. ;-) .. Mother Ayahuasca showed me how my Soul always chose the right bands and the right music, far beyond my mind. Intuitively I knew it all along... but my goodness Mother Ayahuasca showed me so many deep Spiritual truths in deeper ways of infinite understandings of Spirit, that the blind ego-mind that lives in the illusion of time and the illusions of duality, is totally incapable of understanding..
"Psychedelics is a big part of what we do." - Maynard Keenan (2004) - www.ayahuasca.com/psyche/shamanism/ayahuasca-shaman/ .. And after you read that link, and listen to Tools music over years ( especially Lateralus), it's all so blatantly obvious. Tool is a shamanic band. Commit to a minimum of 20 Ayahuasca ceremonies with groups of people from around the world , and wake the F up. As everything you believe in your blind Ego-mind is complete lies.
But hey !!! ... Just don't forget to spend your totally useless and fake Christian American Money, very wisely - th-cam.com/video/uCy7kvXW12Y/w-d-xo.html
I am 69 years old, have been listening to Tool since the stone age, when there were not many tools. The discovery of Tool has helped me in my farm and in my household chords.
While not my favorite song on Fear Innoculum, 7empest is in my opinion the best song on the album. It is a perfect blend of old and new Tool. The groove of the Opiate/Undertow era, the intensity of the Ænema era, and the complexity and layers of the Lateralus/10000 days era.
Hey Matthew.... so sorry for your loss man.. I am a Rider.. I love motorcycles, but I never recommend them.. so dangerous.. you have to have that passion for them.. I bet your Pops had that.. bless him and you!
I might consider this TOOL's Magnum Opus song. It's the culmination of their entire career. What a perfect juggernaut that blends their early aggression with their later maturity.
it's not even very good.. I keep trying to get into this one and it's simply not orchestrated all that well (ie, the point of all of it is.. riffs!). Third Eye, Rosetta Stoned this song is not.
@@colinburroughs9871 the overload of riffs fits with the nature of a storm and the lyrics of the song. You never quite know what will happen next. I think it's brilliant.
@@colinburroughs9871 Spoken like a true tool who doesn't want his bands to evolve, learn and grow. 7empest is the culmination of years of experience coming together in celebration of the past to create a symphony of sound rooted in nostalgia that tickles innovation with licks of psychedelic explorations of existentialism.
=( I completely disagree this album doesn't do anything for me because of the riffs, it's technical, beautiful, but bland and boring... From the people who gave us Aenima and Lateralus, it's an immense let down for me.
I am a model TX790 cybernetic android sent from the future. I have been listening to TOOL since you were dead and now I've come back before you were born to complete the cycle in a reverse manner. Are you still reading this? In 1999, I played metal gear solid. About 6 months later, I heard CBS news talking about genome soldiers. Isn't that wild??? Hideo Kojima is a fucking genius. Where was I? OH YEAH, nobody wears dungarees anymore in the future. Stay outta my booze!!!!
It does. I think its cause you're so immersed in it. Time seems to move differently. Tool needs to be experienced, not just listened to maybe this why. It's weird with the time thing though, you're right.
@MeMyselfandI UntilDeath totally get it dude......then 7 mins n 43 seconds in our man Adam does that crazy insane mind bending thing with his speed twanging plectrum assault on all our senses.........he must've mashed up numerous picks just rolling out that 30 seconds of ultimate speed riffing.....and that's just a mere tip of the iceberg of the whole track let alone the whole album.........time can become a very strange experience when we lose ourselves 2 musical geniuses and allow our senses 2 become absolutely absorbed.........mate what an absolute monster of a tune...........long may they continue 2 disturb our minds with music like that.........hahahaha.......have a great day wherever u may b
Yeah bro it does. I'm writing a resume and listening to them feels like it's enhancing my thinking. Everything feels slowed down...which i fucking love \m/
@@uchihahikaku1630 wherever u may b on our beautiful mother earth best of luck with ur resume but with an open mind enough 2 love a band like tool I have no doubts that ur a damn cool man so I hope ur resume serves u well..........greetings from south london
I couldn't agree more. Been my favorite band since about 2006. I would have to say that 10,000 days is their best album. Its hard to choose though. Its hard to believe that an album like that was created.
TOOL's music is nothing short of a musical Big Bang, a cosmic creation and simultaneously, a poignant end to the universe. It's an experience that has left me utterly speechless, a testament to the profound impact their artistry has had on me. Their sonic landscapes unfold like the universe itself, with layers of intricate melodies, and each lyric carries the weight of a collapsing star - intense, deep, and emotionally explosive. In every note, TOOL manages to encapsulate the essence of a journey, a voyage through the vast expanse of emotions. It's as if they've tapped into the very fabric of existence, weaving together a tapestry of sound that resonates with the complexities of life. The music is a gentle caress for the mind and soul, a cosmic embrace that leaves an indelible mark. And this particular song, it feels like the Big Bang of all Big Bangs - a creation that takes shape only to unravel, making way for a rebirth. It's a musical metamorphosis, a celestial dance where every note and lyric converges and diverges in a cosmic rhythm. This composition is more than just an auditory experience; it's a journey through the cycles of creation and destruction, a sonic representation of the universe's eternal ebb and flow.
This reminds me of something I wrote (an excerpt from a poem of mine); "After thousands of lines of poetic verse I’ve never stooped to a single traditional curse out of my rhetorical purse - instead I reverse-engineer the standard model and traverse a parallel universe by inventing a new paradigm of intense rhyme that makes sense in a kind of sublime crime and wrest new words from future time imperfect - to intersect and arrest them in crystalline correct transition at the perihelion of ellipsis like the chime ringing from a pendulum at the lower end of its arc and contrast it with the silence of the sun’s spark when it finally comes to rest in its quest for the west, as inexorable as Kepler’s third law of planetary motion and as fundamental as elemental nuclear particles still decaying from their turgid birth in this accursed torrential universe." There's a reason that 7empest starts with a 7. I know what it is. I know why the tempest is coming, and why this song is prophetic. It's about suffering and it's about the beginning of something great, and about first contact.
@Wifflum is that thanks to Maynard mainly? if I'm reading u right? he can say so much with the fewest words! holds a mirror up to humanity brilliantly. Mucho REspecto!
Drew Pizza You’re totally on to the same thing I was thinking. It’s like he’s literally willing himself through that opening line into a 15-minute state of 90s fuck-you-tool anger
@@LordofSyn it sounds like it speedruns from opiate/undertow to now, then just kinda launches into orbit from there. Also, yeah Maynard goes full Cornholio at the start.
I just found Tool been going thru a rough stage in life...this kind of music helps me feel like a warrior and gives me courage to fight life wid my gloves on...
In words of Gertrude Stein; "We all fear death and question our place in the universe. The artist's job is not to succumb to despair, but to find an antidote for the emptiness of existence." Well done Tool, and thank you again. Best band of our time.
I was looking at comments of the single when it came out because of morbid curiosity, and teared up when I saw people sincerely talking about loved ones who loved tool and died before getting to hear it. Heartwarming.
I heard they experimented with lower turnings because Maynard can’t hit hose high octaves anymore. They said it turned out better. I know they always tuned in drop d except the song Maynard’s dick was in standard. I think it would be cool if they tuned in c. I find it’s a happy medium. I used to always use drop d, but I needed lower octaves. I haven’t tuned out of drop c since I first started using it.
There really isn't a way to describe how every note of this masterpiece makes you feel. I need some visual video to go along with this, that'll send ya right to space. Epic song. Just epic.
Anyone still in disbelief that we actually have the new album? Even after multiple listenings, I can't believe its real! And, my god, was it worth the wait.
'Fear Inoculum' really grows on the active listener quickly. The songs are well laid out and complex, but never repetitive. This is easily my favorite Tool album, and possibly on of the best albums in 30 years. "7empest" is like a piece of Classical music that has different movements and themes, and the 15 minutes goes by in what seems like less than 7. Brilliant piece of music, and a brilliant album.
It's such a meticulously designed album. It kinda lacks the "messiness" of the raw energy from the previous albums. But it so well orchestrated that it doesn't make it bad in any way.
I'm not surprised it fees like it has "Classical" movements. Tools music is mostly Progressive Rock and the members of original Prog Rock bands from the 70's have said they looked to European Classical music for inspiration instead of American Blues.
As a advanced guitarist I have to say, if you think Adam Jones does NOT prove that he is in the top 10 All Time Guitarists, with this song, then you're clueless. The mastery of his timing, his pick control, tone, cleanliness on chords, his ability to transition from rhythm to solo, AND do harmonics in split second between riffs. I defy ANY pro guitarist to pull this off the exact way he does.
I think it may be one of the best songs ever recorded by any band.....I am a bit biased having listened and loved TOOL since the beginning(a lifetime ago), but this song is in a league of it's own.
This song eclipses 'Lateralus' and 'Rosetta Stoned', for me.... Its beautiful. Pure history and relevance and 'hold my beer'. How do they top this? (Answer: be TOOL)
This song has a LOT of depth. The melody at the beginning alternates between 5/8 and 6/8, specifically three bars of 5/8 and one bar of 6/8. Why is this important? I'll get to that. At 2:39, we have the post-chorus rhythm. It alternates between 4/4 and 13/8. What's so crazy about that? Well, the beginning melody, if added up, contains 5 + 5 + 5 + 6 = *21* notes. 4/4 is equivalent to 8/8, so we can then add up 8 + 13 from this post-chorus rhythm to get *21.* But wait, there's more! At 4:05, we get a cool little section that fluctuates between 11/8 and 10/8. 11 + 10 = *21.* At 5:12, we come to a section that holds at 7/8. But, hold on, it's not a 4 bar loop, it's a 3 bar loop! 7 x 3 = *21.* At 12:46, we see that the melodies do, indeed, overlap as the drums play the post-chorus rhythm whilst the first melody is on top of it as if nothing is wrong; it syncs up perfectly. This song is nuts...
Technically speaking, if you want to get pedantic about it. The song is basically just in 21/8. The various time signatures are there to just break up and identify where the nice downbeats are. It varies up the flow. But yes, in order to do that, they had to think about the overall time signature to get them to sync up in the first place. 21/8 though still, as I can imagine is not something easy to write in. To get that level of natural sounding flow with all the various riffs syncing, takes skill. None of this felt like an odd signature.
@@gredangeo The only problem with that is the sections that are played entirely in 4/4. Mainly at the beginning, with the verses and one or two guitar solos, but get rid of them and this holds true.
@@crusherkelly1842 You can enjoy the melody and still appreciate the intricacies of a piece of music, you know. That's like saying I shouldn't appreciate the different flavors and textures in a hamburger and that I should just appreciate the hamburger for being a hamburger? Very close-minded.
This is one of rewards for salvation the light has shined on these beautiful blessed creatures of God and are anointing us with their gifts. Repent and feel the energy fill your soul. Thank God.

For real. He took his playing to a new level over the years
Remarkable

Awesome comment
Adam Jones just out Adam Jonesed himself with this song.
Leon!
Ay Leon, you’re on my TV while I’m listening to this on my phone.
Awesome! Adam Jones is a verb!
😂😂😂
Not complaining, but the intro is a blatant rip-off of Frame by Frame by King Crimson. Adam is a KC fan so maybe subconscious
You know shit's about to get old school lit when Danny puts the snares back on.
@Rick Ross rip your musical taste
@Rick Ross you literally comment on every post, get a life mate.
@Rick Ross Shame on you, shame on you now.
Big time tommy
He is a troll, he trolled on the newest Slipknot too, don't mind him.
Faith in Humanity restored... Tool is #1 on the billboard music charts with songs that are 12-15 minutes long. It's about time.
They were the first band to secure every top ten song in some billboard type list. At the same time!
Sorry, wish I could remember the name of the list!!
True!
I wouldnt say restored for me.more like the kindlings a light.
Why?
All it takes is for every tool fan to buy the album.
It has nothing to do with average peoples musiktaste.
This song is too short
Way toooooo

RIP To my Uncle, died two weeks ago never getting to hear this, Danny Carey was his favorite drummer.
EDIT: Thanks Tool Family for all of the love. You guys are all wonderful, I'm very grateful.
Blast this album in his honor, sorry for your loss ❤️
Sorry to hear that. I'm glad you are here to listen to it

listen to it to honor him... love to the heaven for your uncle.
Been listening to Tool since the Big Bang singularity 13.8 billion years ago. I can confirm that this is the greatest band that has ever existed.
All the lemmings who only like pop and hip-hop would disagree (and i agree with you, this stuff requires a ton of skill)
I dunno, it got pretty prog 42,000 years ago when Grug hit things with two sticks

Indubitably suh
im an ethereal being outside of the confines of space and time and i can confrim tool is the best band that has, will, or can exist
That's the most complicated complement on planet earth
speak your truth. we lift each other up when we believe
They were literally like, “Let’s write a song that represents every era of our career.” It legitimately sounds like every album’s sound rolled into one. Its incredible.
I agree it sounds like leftovers
LoL agreed... I love it
They hold back on purpose
@@markgood9453 Leftovers? I don't hardly think so. And if they are leftovers, it's in the same way that real, homemade fried rice is leftovers; in that you're taking multiple things that were good to begin with and transforming them into something better which you were actually looking forward to to begin with, which is way you made extras/didn't eat it all to begin with. And what you're ultimately left with is something greater than the sum of its parts which could best be described as "comfort food."
I am in LOVE with this song but the part at around 14:20 and later really reminds if the pot, and it does sound like unused riffs from older albums. but its great!
I'm 67 years of age, been listening to this music, incredible, it blew my mind.

Dont forget Justin. He fits in so well with Tool but sometimes doesn't get much credit. He is a genius also
The drums and guitar alone tell one of the greatest stories ever.

I was born in western Prussia in 1728. The sense of anticipation preceding the release of this album reminded me of the feeling of excitement in central Europe prior to the release of Beethoven's ninth symphony. I'm one of the original fans, and so thankful to my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson for introducing my to Tool in the early '90s. Completely changed my life.

Absolute chills hearing the final 10 seconds of this song and realizing it finishes what 10,000 Days started! The bells at the beginning of Vicarious are at the end of 7empest! Purely incredible!

I’m a little disappointed with this album. Yes it’s Tool...but was hoping for something a little more up tempo like The Pot, eulogy, etc
@@lrrs1 well mate, then you should better adjust your expectations really. Artists are ever-evolving individuals, you can't expect the same musical directions and ideas that span 12+ years now, or can you?
Can still remember the first time I heard Sober, been hooked ever since. I'm now 42, have loved every album. Maynard is constantly evolving, it's what people do. This album is different than the others, but it's still TOOL and still kicks so much fucking ass. Will be happy to wait another 13
Unless you like different music or bands. What u just said is about as legit as saying "I like chocolate ice cream, so chocolate ice cream is best" . You child

This tune sounds like it coulda been on an early album, but with the clarity and refinement that only years of musical experience and craftsmanship can bring. Just shows how these guys are absolute masters of their art and always have been.

A complete summary of their anthology in one song - this may be Tool's masterpiece over time. This song gives you just about every element of their sound and complexity. Brilliant song
Can you explain what exactly you are thinking of when coming to this conclusion? :-) actually curious.
@@Lukas-kh5gu don't you hear their every other song in this one ? It's brilliant
To right you are, plus they added a new tone, the 20th century has been a massive act of self healing through the arts we are trying to find a doorway, or at-least describe it to another. "][" {[]} {[]} |]_ has found a way to present such a door its up to those with the courage to turn the knob and walk through the door for themselves given the "tools," they need.
Completely agree. Its like a ride thru a Tool museum. From beginning to now. Adams best work. I really want an official video
@@Lukas-kh5gu Just hear an anthology of their sounds, from Sober and the Undertow Album all the way through - hints of 46&2, Jimmy, Lateralus, just a broad walk through. But I will admit this was my initial reaction to the first time hearing it. Was the vibe I got. We'll see how this matures with me.
Justin: so we're sending you another mix

Absolutely gold.
it is good
Exactly. I think it was me
I noticed that too
Tempest - last play by Shakespear.
I am 74, former meth addict, I love this music it reminds me of my son who died in afghanistan (can't spell it) also my wife died recently in a car accident (she was drunk though) so this album is really comforting. I do find that with my failing memory & health - sometimes the album just sounds like a BUNCH OF OUTTAKES FROM LATAERALUS. Also my son wasn't fighting in afghanistan (can't spell it) he was just on holiday & fell down a well. SUPPORT OUR TROOPS.

This song is perfect!! What's awesome is that Justin said in a interview Adam started writing this song before he joined the band. It was almost put on 10,000 days or at least strongly considered. but Adam felt like it still wasn't ready so he held off. In all honesty that's probably why the song is a perfect piece of music. It's long, the technicality level is much higher than average compared to other tool songs. And the song is not repetitive. He had a perfect mix of shredding and Restraint mixed with making every note stand out. Well done Adam Jones! I'm honestly glad Maynard held back on his vocals deliberately. He knew damn well the musicianship be displayed is downright outstanding. That is literally the reason why he held back on his vocals on this on purpose. He wanted his bandmates to get the spotlight. Danny said that he said that was a huge compliment from Maynard that he did that.
I've been a longtime Tool fan. It's a pleasant surprise to read an interesting detailed informative comment. Most are examples of douche baggery being spewed unsolicited by the goofus roofuses of the fan base.
Maynard would not be without Danny Adam and Justin and they wouldn't be without Maynard.
I read something about that too, crazy this song is like 30 plus years in the making
I'm 60 years old and this gave me chills I have a variety of tastes in music but rarely the chills factor
I'm 55. Been listening to them since I first heard Aenima. Then I worked my way backwards and now forward. Every time I listen to their music, I hear something new. Keep on rocking brother!!
Brainwashed religious fanatics like christians have always told other people that Rock and Heavy Metal music is "Evil". But what isn't "evil" to them ? EVERYTHING is "evil" to them because they will DEMONIZE everything, anyone, and everyone that does not worship their fake religion full of lies. They will demonize everything they do not understand, and they understand NOTHING, therefore they will demonize EVERYTHING ( including YOU if you question them on their stupid beliefs that they need to protect - as darkness PROTECTS in their illusions of the blind Ego-mind). As they have no depth whatsoever, which is why they cannot understand anything. as they're always at the surface of images of their blind ego-mind of silly beliefs.
They're Totally SHALLOW in their DARKNESS and their total self hatred. So they DEMONIZE everything and hate everything and hate the world, and hate all of nature, they have absolutely NO PRESENCE!!, They hate the Earth like no other, as its a reflection of their Self hatred.. in their cold and closed inner prisons of endless Bondage and hells within them.
But the Divine Truth is, Heavy Metal and Rock music is a divine creation of the infinite intelligence of the Universe of Spirit and Nature, to wake humanity up, hence why it's LOUD and Screaming ! Heavy Metal and Rock music started out as being the "REBEL" music of society during the psychedelic (sacred divine plants) era. As EVERYTHING in human society is a LIE (even your American holidays are ALL totally fake man-made lies, as humans are stupid enough to believe christmas has something to do with a persons birthday, search "America's occult holidays" to see the total sham of it all)..
And since Rock music and Heavy Metal is the Rebel of society, and EVERYTHING in Human western society is a LIE, then OBVIOUSLY there will be far FAR more Truths in Heavy Metal. Rock N' Roll and Heavy Metal music is absolutely LOADED with infinite Spiritual Truths that the ego-based mind is afraid to see and afraid to understand.
There is NO genre of music on the planet that "ASKS" so many deep questions as heavy metal and rock music. And that's why christian idiots have to label it as "evil" , as they have absolutely no answers to anything, therefore they HATE any deep questions ! Because they hate themselves.
Listen to rock bands that speak about the illusion of time, and alchemy of sacred divine plants,
And speak also your divine 7-chakras in their songs. As well as talking about the countless lies of the "I" as who you think you are is total illusion (just as Corrosion of conformity does so well through their discography). Those 4 things are vital, and when you do you will find beautiful Spiritual music from bands like Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian, Death, Testament, Epica, Amenra, Isis, Dio, Neurosis (very special band !!), and Tool, Black Sabbath, and Queensryche (and many more), as well as softer magical bands like Pink Floyd and Neil Young etc, that is speaking to Soul (not the ego-mind) ;-) . Fake 'party" bands like the van halen's and the ac/dc's of the world cannot touch these bands.
And stay away from "Nu metal" bands and 'commercial bands like the Limp Bizkit's of the world and the Papa Roach's of the world. It's total society garbage about the blind ego-mind, or about labeling and blaming (like pathetic pop diva's and eminem who are always labeling and blaming in stupidity of victim consciousness), and "victim consciousness" nonsense that doesn't serve you in any way. < 3
A band like "Blind Guardian" for example is loaded with beautiful Spiritual truths in their music catalog. It's very deep so you have to look beyond what people tell you what the songs mean. Don't follow "labels" of what other people say the songs mean as the mind can only label things at the surface of images and is blind, as these songs all mean YOU in many deep ways that the left-brain thinking ego mind of thought cannot see or understand.
In one of my Ayahuasca ceremonies after total surrender of the ego as I surpassed the illusions of death, eye was given the sword of light from the Universe. The sword of Light came through me in magical beauty as I was downloaded massive amounts of knowledge love and wisdom through my heart chakra. This magical sword is far beyond how you see a sword in a picture in the illusions of images as this sword is multi-dimensional as I became "one" with the sword, the sword was me and I was the sword, as ONE in infinite beauty and magic in the 5th dimension of Consciousness. The sword of Light is only to be used for love and light and becoming in full awareness of my Soul purposes and missions on this planet to help awaken humanity out of the countless illusions of human society. Not a sword that can ever be used to harm anyone or anything.
And through that experience I was taken back to Blind Guardian's "Somewhere Far Beyond" album that I listened to as a young man in the early 1990's, and Mother Ayahuasca showed me that Blind Guardian album cover and she said to me: " You see Robert, You have always been one of the chosen ones of Light, and you will always be one of the chosen ones of Light" .. and she showed me what a sword really means (that has absolutely nothing to do with what silly humans think a sword means as the blind human mind takes everything beautiful and sacred and twists it in countless lies)..
Blind Guardian's "Somewhere Far Beyond" album cover is an Ayahuasca circle, with the Shaman playing Ayahuasca icaro's at the top through some kind of flute in the shape of an Ayahuasca vine on his chest, the flute at the bottom pointing to the light at the center of the circle. And he's elevated above everyone else sitting on a stool and wearing a crown (not just a hood like the others). And he also has a condor sitting on his shoulder (the highest flying bird that also has the ability to shift between Spiritual dimensions). In Ayahuasca art you will see the condor depicted quite often, and for infinite good reasons. Ayahuasca is the oldest and purest, and is by far the most effective form of Spiritual practice on the planet. Nothing could be more obvious as you listen to that album ;-)
I so clearly remember as a child listening to heavy metal during the 1980's, & entire worlds opened up for me, bands such as Iron Maiden, Testament, Sabbath, Dio, and other great bands such as "Death" and Queensryche ( "Roads To Madness" by Queensryche for example is an Eternal Spiritual Truths classic), etc. A little later on in the early 1990's I got into the beauty of Blind Guardian with their beautiful album 'Somewhere Far Beyond". So many beautiful things that fake bands like ac/dc could never come close to offering. I never understood when people would tell me that Heavy Metal music is far too heavy to get into and too overwhelming. I always laughed, since I was a child, how people would tell me that this isn't music, but only loud cannons firing.
I ALWAYS laughed as they tried so hard to sway me, but could never sway me an inch. From family members to friends to pathetic pastors in churches (and let me tell you that you will NEVER find more fake people on the planet than fear-monger pastors and priests in churches), as nobody hates our beautiful Mother Earth and Nature and divides people's more with hatred than pastors in churches, and they mostly hate themselves. And I never once cared for their blind and pathetic opinions, I always laughed hysterically inside. I always laughed hysterically how they couldn't "get it." . Because to me, when listening to heavy metal, it was always a blissful sweet symphony of beauty !!
For me, it was always so soft, and wonderful, so welcoming, and Magical !! I feel so sorry for the humans that have no capability to ever understand the beauty of real heavy metal music, because heavy metal has so many beautiful Spiritual messages from the infinite Universe that the blind ego-based mind of duality is afraid to see, and afraid to understand.
Mother Ayahuasca showed me in infinite ways how Heavy Metal music was so vital and so beautiful in so many magical ways for my Spiritual growth. And this magical band of beauty, Blind Guardian, was absolutely Massive and monumental for my Spiritual journey of the Universe of be-ing and infinite truths of beauty of Light and Spirit. ;-) .. Mother Ayahuasca showed me how my Soul always chose the right bands and the right music, far beyond my mind. Intuitively I knew it all along... but my goodness Mother Ayahuasca showed me so many deep Spiritual truths in deeper ways of infinite understandings of Spirit, that the blind ego-mind that lives in the illusion of time and the illusions of duality, is totally incapable of understanding..
"Psychedelics is a big part of what we do." - Maynard Keenan (2004) - www.ayahuasca.com/psyche/shamanism/ayahuasca-shaman/ .. And after you read that link, and listen to Tools music over years ( especially Lateralus), it's all so blatantly obvious. Tool is a shamanic band. Commit to a minimum of 20 Ayahuasca ceremonies with groups of people from around the world , and wake the F up. As everything you believe in your blind Ego-mind is complete lies.

Best song on album easily. Top 5 tool songs in my opinion.
i think this may have just topped them all! unreal!!
Agreed. I really enjoyed the full album, but 7empest was an amazing way to wind the album down. Some of the richest music ive ever heard in my life.
No doubt 👍🏻
Hm, it would hard for me to choose 5 songs, but I could choose 5 albums. Sorry, Opiate but you´re only an EP and have too less songs on your back.
I prefer pneuma but this one is also really good
I am 69 years old, have been listening to Tool since the stone age, when there were not many tools. The discovery of Tool has helped me in my farm and in my household chords.
It truly gets better the more you hear it
welcome to tool
Try eating some Blue Meanies. And wait til pneuma starts.
I didn't really get into it. Until I was on the floor the first night they played it live in Sydney. Mind fucking blown.
@@nickphegan7362 yup
It really does 🤯
I am 1053 years old and this is the best album ive heard in my life. TOOL!~
ok mr DRACULA
lol
😂
I get u
JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA
My oldest son shared Fear Inoculum with me...I am hooked! Rock lives!
I've been hooked since Undertow. The song "Sober" was just the first of many hits for this band that gets hardly any airplay.
Oh you have so much to enjoy!
Clearly you raised him well.
Another day another durry
@@hangar1876 got alot of airplay my way thank the rise guys 93.3
While not my favorite song on Fear Innoculum, 7empest is in my opinion the best song on the album. It is a perfect blend of old and new Tool. The groove of the Opiate/Undertow era, the intensity of the Ænema era, and the complexity and layers of the Lateralus/10000 days era.
Well said
That is my thought exactly. Throughout the entire album you can catch glimpses of all there previous albums.
Finally someone gets it.
Absolutely
Pneuma is brilliant.
Hearing Maynard say the words "cookies and cream" will definitely be the musical highlight of this decade .
That part got me laughing so hard and at same time thinking how fucking cool that was 🤩🤩🤩
Chocolate chip trip lol
No doubt
Made me want the milkshake.
Calm like cookies and cream.
The guitar job in this song is unbelievable
The bass and drum line allso
Yeah. 11:50 onward is a genuine masterpiece. Fear Inoculum as a whole is such a compositional masterpiece of an album.
Adam Jones’ finest moment IMO
From a technical stand point, this is Adam Jones finest moment
He's very under rated👍
My dad was a huge tool fan, he wrecked his motorcycle last Halloween and passed away, we would have jammed the hell out of this.
Damn man, stay strong dude
He's jamming with you, somewhere.
He jamming right along side of you my friend...one love from canada
Hey Matthew.... so sorry for your loss man.. I am a Rider.. I love motorcycles, but I never recommend them.. so dangerous.. you have to have that passion for them.. I bet your Pops had that.. bless him and you!
Sorry for you loss.
I might consider this TOOL's Magnum Opus song. It's the culmination of their entire career. What a perfect juggernaut that blends their early aggression with their later maturity.
This is the comment I was looking for
Tempest - last play of Shakespear ...
it's not even very good.. I keep trying to get into this one and it's simply not orchestrated all that well (ie, the point of all of it is.. riffs!). Third Eye, Rosetta Stoned this song is not.
@@colinburroughs9871 the overload of riffs fits with the nature of a storm and the lyrics of the song. You never quite know what will happen next. I think it's brilliant.
@@colinburroughs9871 Spoken like a true tool who doesn't want his bands to evolve, learn and grow. 7empest is the culmination of years of experience coming together in celebration of the past to create a symphony of sound rooted in nostalgia that tickles innovation with licks of psychedelic explorations of existentialism.
One of the greatest songs ever written, produced or recorded. Period.
Agreed
Its in the top of my all time list for sure.
A remarkable piece of music. Whoever said guitar music is dead should listen to this.
💯 %
FACTS
Best guitar work Adam Jones has ever laid down.
For sure!
=( I completely disagree this album doesn't do anything for me because of the riffs, it's technical, beautiful, but bland and boring... From the people who gave us Aenima and Lateralus, it's an immense let down for me.
As a die hard tool fan, I disagree. This album is their masterpiece. Idk what to tell you man.
@@nicolasbertin8552 Man, I was disapointed too but this album is definitely a grower! Give it some time
He said in an interview that he's been holding onto this riff for 21 years now. Never could find the perfect song for it until now
The clean guitar and percussion in the beginning is the light rain before the thunderstorm breaks
That's an amazing analagy.
This opening is my ring tone.
The calm before the 7empest
Perfect comparison!

Are you still reading this? In 1999, I played metal gear solid. About 6 months later, I heard CBS news talking about genome soldiers. Isn't that wild??? Hideo Kojima is a fucking genius.
Where was I? OH YEAH, nobody wears dungarees anymore in the future. Stay outta my booze!!!!
Tool is the ONLY band that I can say I enjoy every album they have made and listen to them all day in any setting.
Maynard's voice is just amazing.
Lmao. Must suck to not know any other music.
@@Phantasm2Cuda there are a lot of other great artists out there. But which of them have not released a single bad album?
@@danielm5531 that's all subjective. Especially for those who released under 7 albums

100% great retrospective track
100%. It's got aspects of all 5 albums in one 16 minute RIPPER of a song
Old Tool meets new Tool... I’m still a bit stunned. Hands down the best I’ve heard from them since Ænima!
Lateralus > everything else
Since aenima? Uh...yeah. Those pesky Lateralus and 10,000 Days albums really sucked. 😐
They're all the best! Lol
Truly There Best Since "Undertow" Or "Ænema" FAV. Tune - - - SWAMP SONG.
First five words are correct.
74 trillion years ago I discovered Tool. My life has changed ever since
I swear time passes by differently while engrossed in a Tool song
It does. I think its cause you're so immersed in it. Time seems to move differently. Tool needs to be experienced, not just listened to maybe this why. It's weird with the time thing though, you're right.
@MeMyselfandI UntilDeath totally get it dude......then 7 mins n 43 seconds in our man Adam does that crazy insane mind bending thing with his speed twanging plectrum assault on all our senses.........he must've mashed up numerous picks just rolling out that 30 seconds of ultimate speed riffing.....and that's just a mere tip of the iceberg of the whole track let alone the whole album.........time can become a very strange experience when we lose ourselves 2 musical geniuses and allow our senses 2 become absolutely absorbed.........mate what an absolute monster of a tune...........long may they continue 2 disturb our minds with music like that.........hahahaha.......have a great day wherever u may b
Yeah bro it does. I'm writing a resume and listening to them feels like it's enhancing my thinking. Everything feels slowed down...which i fucking love \m/
@@uchihahikaku1630 wherever u may b on our beautiful mother earth best of luck with ur resume but with an open mind enough 2 love a band like tool I have no doubts that ur a damn cool man so I hope ur resume serves u well..........greetings from south london
i found that out like 15 years ago , with undertow or Aenema, agree 100 %
This song is unbelievable. Literally a masterpiece.
I couldn't agree more. Been my favorite band since about 2006. I would have to say that 10,000 days is their best album. Its hard to choose though. Its hard to believe that an album like that was created.
I agree. It is stunning and ever-lasting!!
Thank you guy whose name is totally john smith and definitely not something else
@@mtmontgo Timeless music.
This track screams 90's TooL so hard!
With a little hint of Lateralus for good measure
I've been saying the same thing! It's fucking amazing.
Im an albino giraffe from Zimbabwe and i can confirm this is the best thing off all time.
YES!!!!Best song on the album for me! Serious Undertow vibes! This song gave me chills!
Dude yes! Undertow is such a good album. This definitely has those vibes!
My favorite so far. Not quite done, but if there's a song to beat this then I'm down.
Right?
This sounds like old tool! After hearing the other released songs I was worried it sounded like they were on Valium, this is what I waited for
Exactly what i was thinking 🤘
There's more material, creativity and epicness in this one song than in many artists entire discography
Very well said sir. Nobody in the current "popular" music scene has even a single iota of Tool's grandeur and technical perfection.
Yeah. 11:50 onward is a genuine masterpiece. Fear Inoculum as a whole is such a compositional masterpiece of an album.
Tool is like that 🤘😎💯
Give them another few years and then listen to what they have come up with. i mean . I am talking serious Heart attack I reckon,
Holy mother of all times. I need hear this from all dimensions I can.

Seth Ellison you are right
TOOL's music is nothing short of a musical Big Bang, a cosmic creation and simultaneously, a poignant end to the universe. It's an experience that has left me utterly speechless, a testament to the profound impact their artistry has had on me. Their sonic landscapes unfold like the universe itself, with layers of intricate melodies, and each lyric carries the weight of a collapsing star - intense, deep, and emotionally explosive.
In every note, TOOL manages to encapsulate the essence of a journey, a voyage through the vast expanse of emotions. It's as if they've tapped into the very fabric of existence, weaving together a tapestry of sound that resonates with the complexities of life. The music is a gentle caress for the mind and soul, a cosmic embrace that leaves an indelible mark.
And this particular song, it feels like the Big Bang of all Big Bangs - a creation that takes shape only to unravel, making way for a rebirth. It's a musical metamorphosis, a celestial dance where every note and lyric converges and diverges in a cosmic rhythm. This composition is more than just an auditory experience; it's a journey through the cycles of creation and destruction, a sonic representation of the universe's eternal ebb and flow.
👏👏👌👌
uh no just 4 guys jamming
This reminds me of something I wrote (an excerpt from a poem of mine);
"After thousands of lines of poetic verse I’ve never stooped to a single traditional curse out of my rhetorical purse - instead I reverse-engineer the standard model and traverse a parallel universe by inventing a new paradigm of intense rhyme that makes sense in a kind of sublime crime and wrest new words from future time imperfect - to intersect and arrest them in crystalline correct transition at the perihelion of ellipsis like the chime ringing from a pendulum at the lower end of its arc and contrast it with the silence of the sun’s spark when it finally comes to rest in its quest for the west, as inexorable as Kepler’s third law of planetary motion and as fundamental as elemental nuclear particles still decaying from their turgid birth in this accursed torrential universe."
There's a reason that 7empest starts with a 7. I know what it is. I know why the tempest is coming, and why this song is prophetic. It's about suffering and it's about the beginning of something great, and about first contact.
I rode 100 miles in a bicycle race last weekend and blasted this song on repeat the entire time!
:::::::::::PERFECT!
Brilliant response
100 miles? So you listened to this song two whole times?
Amazing😏😺😸👴
Wow, that's what I would call a perfect ride.
This is the song of the album! What an absolute DEVESTATOR!
I am a 187 year old miner and I've been listening to tool since before the American Civil War
Well goddamn
Why do I believe this is true? ;)
I been listening to Tool ever since the times of Jesus, I'm a trve fan
hahahaha
voted for biden huh?
One of the very best songs ever recorded. If I could only listen to one album the rest of my life, it would be Fear Inoculum.
Not a minute of your life is wasted if you are listening tot TOOL
Me too.
The world is blessed these 4 fellas fell in line with one another. The music God's blessed tool with the insight and talent to produce such music.
Wow thats a bold statement....yet, i can't argue against it
Mine would be 10000 days, tributes man
this song gets more and more addictive over time wtffff
I think that's just what happens with Tool. Like when you see a movie and you keep thinking about it afterwards.
WELCOME to the world of TOOL , Spiral out !
R Keenan keep going ...
Yea... its grown on me to the point that i cant live w.o it...... fucking... masterpiece...
It's all Tool man..theres so much goin on it takes time to truly absorb it
This band... Wtf would I do without having their music in my life?
Indeed!!
@Wifflum is that thanks to Maynard mainly? if I'm reading u right? he can say so much with the fewest words! holds a mirror up to humanity brilliantly. Mucho REspecto!
Maynard's opening line; it's like he's literally convulsing back into his older self
Drew Pizza It sounds a little like Michael Jackson lol
Drew Pizza You’re totally on to the same thing I was thinking. It’s like he’s literally willing himself through that opening line into a 15-minute state of 90s fuck-you-tool anger
Here we go again.
This cries back to Undertow so much. It is the missing track to Undertow.
@@LordofSyn it sounds like it speedruns from opiate/undertow to now, then just kinda launches into orbit from there. Also, yeah Maynard goes full Cornholio at the start.
I just found Tool been going thru a rough stage in life...this kind of music helps me feel like a warrior and gives me courage to fight life wid my gloves on...
It is like going to war against evil
wow bro, cool story..
@@nuttpowderdon’t be a douche
This song is an indictment against someone
In words of Gertrude Stein; "We all fear death and question our place in the universe. The artist's job is not to succumb to despair, but to find an antidote for the emptiness of existence." Well done Tool, and thank you again. Best band of our time.
well said!
Just fn great words
All hail Dionysus the intoxicated.
111usul great quote man. Fucking bang on 🤙
Best band ever! These guys are from another universe.
It's such a joy to read all these positive comments... TOOL ARMY in full swing
I was looking at comments of the single when it came out because of morbid curiosity, and teared up when I saw people sincerely talking about loved ones who loved tool and died before getting to hear it. Heartwarming.
The sweet sweet sounds of drop D tuning, I've missed you.
My ear isnt the best even as a guitar player but it sounds like a lower E with a lot of inverted power chords.
@@immortalitygamer7103 it's definitely drop d, i can see why you'd think that though
I heard they experimented with lower turnings because Maynard can’t hit hose high octaves anymore. They said it turned out better. I know they always tuned in drop d except the song Maynard’s dick was in standard. I think it would be cool if they tuned in c. I find it’s a happy medium. I used to always use drop d, but I needed lower octaves. I haven’t tuned out of drop c since I first started using it.
There really isn't a way to describe how every note of this masterpiece makes you feel. I need some visual video to go along with this, that'll send ya right to space. Epic song. Just epic.
Anyone still in disbelief that we actually have the new album? Even after multiple listenings, I can't believe its real! And, my god, was it worth the wait.
That was my initial impression. I thought “is this for real?” lol. Been so damn long but was worth the wait.
I'll put on Aenima to remember a time when they were actually innovative and interesting
@@tmorelli1982 triggered as fuck. Too ogt for a new album lol
Yeah I don't know why I'm not feeling it yet only one listen through so far though
Yes! This was the first time in my life that I was acutely aware of the fact that I will be hearing an album for the first time.
'Fear Inoculum' really grows on the active listener quickly. The songs are well laid out and complex, but never repetitive. This is easily my favorite Tool album, and possibly on of the best albums in 30 years. "7empest" is like a piece of Classical music that has different movements and themes, and the 15 minutes goes by in what seems like less than 7. Brilliant piece of music, and a brilliant album.
It's such a meticulously designed album. It kinda lacks the "messiness" of the raw energy from the previous albums. But it so well orchestrated that it doesn't make it bad in any way.
I'm not surprised it fees like it has "Classical" movements. Tools music is mostly Progressive Rock and the members of original Prog Rock bands from the 70's have said they looked to European Classical music for inspiration instead of American Blues.
when I first got into tool I didnt really like fear inoculum but it's pretty quickly becoming one of my fav albums
Agree !
Wtf is a active listener.lol
More than happy to buy the album after this kind of appreciation to the fans by putting the entire album for free here.
Hey you got a good deal :) Hold on to it, keep it in good shape, and it will be worth a lot more than that someday.

As a advanced guitarist I have to say, if you think Adam Jones does NOT prove that he is in the top 10 All Time Guitarists, with this song, then you're clueless.
The mastery of his timing, his pick control, tone, cleanliness on chords, his ability to transition from rhythm to solo, AND do harmonics in split second between riffs.
I defy ANY pro guitarist to pull this off the exact way he does.
I still think Pushit is Adam's best song.
the 'solo' from 5:37 - 9:11 is just so good
Justin and Danny get it pretty good too but this is Adams for sure
You're kidding right? Or maybe you only know 10 guitarists.
Top 10 metal, prog rock/metal maybe.

I think it may be one of the best songs ever recorded by any band.....I am a bit biased having listened and loved TOOL since the beginning(a lifetime ago), but this song is in a league of it's own.
@@nobody-ly9ef Agreed,epic!
This song eclipses 'Lateralus' and 'Rosetta Stoned', for me.... Its beautiful.
Pure history and relevance and 'hold my beer'.
How do they top this?
(Answer: be TOOL)
This tops Lateralus. (IMHO)
This song has a LOT of depth.
The melody at the beginning alternates between 5/8 and 6/8, specifically three bars of 5/8 and one bar of 6/8. Why is this important? I'll get to that.
At 2:39, we have the post-chorus rhythm. It alternates between 4/4 and 13/8. What's so crazy about that? Well, the beginning melody, if added up, contains 5 + 5 + 5 + 6 = *21* notes. 4/4 is equivalent to 8/8, so we can then add up 8 + 13 from this post-chorus rhythm to get *21.*
But wait, there's more! At 4:05, we get a cool little section that fluctuates between 11/8 and 10/8. 11 + 10 = *21.*
At 5:12, we come to a section that holds at 7/8. But, hold on, it's not a 4 bar loop, it's a 3 bar loop! 7 x 3 = *21.*
At 12:46, we see that the melodies do, indeed, overlap as the drums play the post-chorus rhythm whilst the first melody is on top of it as if nothing is wrong; it syncs up perfectly.
This song is nuts...
Technically speaking, if you want to get pedantic about it. The song is basically just in 21/8. The various time signatures are there to just break up and identify where the nice downbeats are. It varies up the flow. But yes, in order to do that, they had to think about the overall time signature to get them to sync up in the first place. 21/8 though still, as I can imagine is not something easy to write in. To get that level of natural sounding flow with all the various riffs syncing, takes skill. None of this felt like an odd signature.
@@gredangeo The only problem with that is the sections that are played entirely in 4/4. Mainly at the beginning, with the verses and one or two guitar solos, but get rid of them and this holds true.
Youre nuts god damn
It’s built to build minds
@@crusherkelly1842 You can enjoy the melody and still appreciate the intricacies of a piece of music, you know. That's like saying I shouldn't appreciate the different flavors and textures in a hamburger and that I should just appreciate the hamburger for being a hamburger? Very close-minded.
