This is definitely one of the Mount Rushmore of Tool songs. It pretty much has all the elements of their evolution up to the release of Aenima. It may not hit on the first listen, as with many of Tools songs, but it is one that does grow on you with each listen. Put the headphones on, turn the lights off, and go along for the ride!
I think, this being the final track of the album, by the time you get to it you're in a certain state of mind that makes you more receptive to it and it makes sense more as the release at the end of the album than a standalone song. Tool occasionally have gag tracks, intermissions, etc, that I wouldn't consider to be 'songs'.
"I think this is my least favorite Tool song." Interesting. Third Eye is my absolute favorite Tool song. Not their best IMO, but still my favorite. So many layers, so trippy, I float out of my body listening to it and I enjoy that. Maybe revisit the song a year from now? Not in a reaction context. You might be surprised. +1 for your honesty, nothing wrong with it.
To be fair none of my absolute favourite tool songs now, were even a look in 3, maybe 4 years ago. They always change but I find new things in every song all the time. All part of the ride 🤙
Adams tone and sound on that last short of “solo” is outstanding to me. They dedicated this album to comedian Bill Hicks, Maynard’s favorite comedian. That’s what the sound clips where in the beginning. Third eye 👁 is a very trippy ride to sums up the entire anemia album. One the best albums of all time
This is one of those songs that took me a couple years to appreciate. There was a time that I started to delve into my shadow work and when I heard this song and was open to it... it popped a plug in my brain and it all started making sense and the song became beautiful and melodic in its chaos. You may never like this song, but revisit it once a year when you feel that your mind and body feel like a stranger to you.
I'm one of those few that loves every Tool track ever released. Yes that includes the 6+ minute track that was a frustrating Municipal Court phone call. I personally love Third Eye simply because it paints a series of moving pictures in my mind. Next time you listen to a Tool song think of it like a movie playing in your head. Overall my best advice in general is to let yourself dive into your emotions/imaginatory state more when you play music especially when listening to Tool.
Haha they have a phone call song?! 👀 also I’ve been told to give a few different tool songs a few listens due to their complexity, so I’ll definitely give this one another shot. I’ll try your movie method as well 👌
This definitely took a lot of listens for me! Then I watched the live Salival performance and I got hooked! That second half is one of my top favorite moments of theirs. Please watch the Salival Performance!!
So I definitely recommended this one saying you’ve never heard anything like it. This is one of my favorites. I know it’s not for everyone but I still think it’s a wake up call to creativity. Brilliant in its own very strange an alien like way. Great reaction as always.
People probably have pointed it out but there are a lot of TooL’s songs that require more than one lesson to start to understand what’s going on and for you to really vibe with it.
"Hopefully this is a crazy song" I died 😂 Edit after you finished it: This one was probably difficult for A LOT of people to get into on the first listen. I think for some it's more of a "sit in the dark and close your eyes" type track.
I can totally relate as a self proclaimed high ranking Tool Army officer. It took me a long time to appreciate this song...years. I never hated it but it was on the bottom for me in rankings. That being said...it grows on you for what it is. Love your reactions man! 🔧 🪖
I love little details in songs and what gets me everytime for this song is that (flute?) noise right after the lyric "withered eye", but have always loved this whole song.
This is one that grows on you with time. You don’t have to like all of them first listen. Watch the video of them play it live, - Third Eye Salival version 🌀
Bill Hicks was a comedian who passed away in 1994. His style consisted of dark humor, mainly surrounding controversial topics like religion and philosophy, just like Tool - so they dedicated Ænima to him. An illustration of Hicks dressed as a doctor appears on the inner cover of the album with the line, "Another dead hero." The comedian's speeches "One Good Drug Story" and "The War on Drugs" were sampled on the album before the song "Third Eye." Hicks had used the phrase "third eye" before when talking on psychedelic mushrooms.
When i first heard this song i wasnt that much of a fan of it, but when I listen to Tool I just play an album and let it play all the way through. After a few times hearing it, it started to grow on me. Today it is one of my favorite songs to jam out to.
I used to hate a lot of tool songs when I was in my teens-early 20's but after a few listens and now that I've hit my 30 I've found that my taste has completely changed and a lot of those songs I couldn't stand to listen to are now some of my favorites. ie Third Eye, Rosetta Stoned, Right In Two, Lateralus
You're right that drummer DC keeps it all cohesive. He is outstanding. I like the song, especially that rumbling bass in the middle of the song. #ToolArmy
I second the suggestion to listen to the live version from salival! Hearing the tool song for the first time is a lot like watching the movie inception for some. The lyrics are so important to the whole experience, I highly recommend reading the lyrics with the song.
At 13:38 where you asked, "what is this rhythm?" Maynard is in 4/4 and the instrumentalists are in 3/4 and stabbing on the first beat of each measure. 👍🏽😁 This is a song that I had to listen to quite a bit before it grew on me. Don't give up on it, dude! 😎
There's nothing wrong with not liking a song, this one especially is not for everyone. This is one of my favorites though. Come back to it after a while and see if it sounds better to you. Glad to see some honesty in song reactions/reviews
Really, it is almost unfair to see what someone thinks about a Tool song, on first listen. You will go thru changes on what you think of these songs in time ....... in a HUGE way .......
This song isn't your everyday Tool song. It's not something I'd play over the car radio unless I was on a road trip. This one takes a couple of listens for it to grab you. If you really want to be impressed though, do a review of the Salival LIVE version of this song. They're dialed in, the mix is perfect, a ridiculous performance, with all the amazing live energy AND Danny has his shit cranked up to 15.
I've been there since the beginning and have seen them live 6 times since before Undertow came out. This is and will probably always be my favorite song of theirs. Pnuema and Lateralus are close, but this is the tops.
Dude, I used think the same. Years later its absolutely brilliant to listen to. Its alot of genius to hear upon first list. Almost intimidaitng lol. Enjoy future listens of the track. The Salival version is great as well.
Fun fact: Adam Jones used a woman’s vibrator as a guitar slide for Two solos in this song. The first one in then beginning of the song and the third one towards the end
It's a hard one to get first go.. U gotta give it a few listens and pay attention to all the little details and back ground noises that just adds to everything.. it's grows into so much more.
I didn't like, or even get, this song on first listen... it took me a bit. Now its up there as an essential. Give it a few listens and I'm pretty sure you're going to love it.
I like to think of this as the final boss of tool songs lol. I also found this too weird the first few listens and would often skip it. But after 10 years of still listening to tool, it's morphed into one of my faves 😂. I don't know how to explain it but after listening to the album's all the way through they all put you in a certain state of mind. What's incredible to me still is how dense and intricate each of their songs are. They're like other worlds that you can keep discovering and appreciating from new angles.
Listen to it more. It never hits the first time... it's almost uncomfortable at first. It takes a while to latch onto...13 mins of repeated listens takes some serious dedication. It's a slow burn but pretty soon you'll know what to expect and catch the groove... then every time you hear it you'll notice something new that will make your spine tingle. Trust me... you will grow to fking love it 🤘🤘🤘 PS. Adam's guitar at the end sounds like the voice of the eye responding to Maynard... it's a sweet little ditty
I might weigh in on the order you're experiencing Tool in. From growing up with this band this album was a pivotal experience, and unlike anything we'd heard before. This album holds a special place for me, and all the songs on it are not only amazing, but hold a lot of nostalgia. I feel this is a key component, specifically with this song, which may be why you're not necessarily a fan. This was an example, though we didn't know it, of the future trajectory of Tool. It has all the heavy drops, builds, timing, balance of silence accentuating the screams, and all the other genius this band would develop over the next 20 years. This album specifically has just a little bit of edge that's slowly been polished off over time that I often go back for. As you said, not everyone will like every song, bit just a little context to why I enjoy it.
I didnt like this song but then I started to get it. It feels like a conversation between a father and a son. And the father would be union with the universe. And the son thinking the father is running away but he wasnt. And then when the third eye is open its like the song becomes full and awesome, but when there is a seperation it becomes scary and horrific
This is one of my least heard songs on the Aenima album. I wouldn’t be surprised if it grows on me. So far, my favourites didn’t really get me on the first listen. Great listening with you. 😀
Smart of you to “put your seatbelt on”, you have several tracks coming up in your reactions where you should consider getting a Hans Device 😉👊 Jambi, vicarious, ticks and leeches, just to name a few😎🔥🔥🔥🔥 much respect for your honesty 🙏
Hans Device is what Nascar drivers use to protect them from the G force they deal with while driving 200 mph👍 keep bringing 🛠T⚙️⚙️L🛠 and you will appreciate my warning 😉 again, much respect to your honesty, you can’t love every track, but respect their genius 🙏😎👊
This song to me is the basic description of a great acid trip. Acid pries open that third eye. Why are you running away describes the come down off of that trip. You appreciate it more if you've ever experienced the trip
In some ways this is not supposed to be an "enjoyable" song to listen too. In some ways, this isn't even really a song...so much as an attempt to create the sonic equivalent of certain drug induced experiences. Its a masterpiece for certain, but also not something that one can listen to frequently. Its rough, raw, disjointed, unsettling, insane, and challenging. But there's also a primal beauty, and perspective, and mystery to it. Even as a die hard Tool fan since, you guessed it, '92, I don't listen to Third Eye often, but if you asked me to list my top 5 Tool tracks, it may take that 5th spot, and without a doubt in my top 10. It takes some time and many listens over that time to really situate yourself within the soundscape of Third Eye and appreciate it all that its doing.
This track always sounded like Tool leaning a bit industrial to me. Sounds like Tool, but with some Ministry influence in there. Like a blend of the other tracks on the album with a touch of Pslam 69 sprinkled in.
I realise I am four months late, but I would recommend looking to at least listen to their discography from the very start to Fear Innoculum. You don't have to react to it, but I think it'd be a great idea
Least Favorite? I understand that. I've been a hardcore Tool fan since '97 and Third Eye was just one that I never really connected with until I saw the Salival version live. React to the live version and see if it doesn't hit you different. Now it's one of my favorite songs by them
I'm a huge TOOL fan but I can still appreciate you not digging the song completely. I honestly didn't really vibe with it for like 15 years or so, but I've really warmed up to it lately. They could cut out like 10 of the "prying open my third eye" parts and it wouldn't hurt
Nothing wrong with having a least favorite Tool song. At least you're honest and not just showering praise when you don't feel the song. I know I'm gonna get shit on for saying this but it's one if my least favourites and I've been a fan since their debut. I can appreciate the story behind it and the composition and give them both due respect. Just not my cup of tea. Thanks for keeping it real, lotsa reactors out there who do not.
17:15 you don't need to do anything about fibbonachi or whatever rhythm beat sequence. Viewers don't watch "first time reaction" vids to get an in-depth analysis about the complex timings and shit.
@@SeanStaxxMusic well worth it...I'm also thinking about your earlier comments on Pushit. That song was the same for me. I used to skip them when I was listening to this on cassette 🤣 now they are both near the top of my list.
And for Third Eye, to me it's a trip relived in musical form. You see things and then the trip gets wild with the chaotic guitar. Then the mid section with the "in, out, in, out" before it gets very quiet is like breathing to snap out of it and the blissful part of the trip happens again.. if you've ever done psychedelic's, a common theme is it comes in waves. And I feel this song is just wave after wave of chaos, and I love it.
You missed nothing. it's the hardest song on the album to like. it takes multiple listens to fully appreciate it, and even now (after being a Tool fan since Undertow) I skip it if i'm not in the right mood. When i'm in the right mood and can sink myself into the song it's one of the greatest experiences on the album.
Don’t think anyone likes these deep tracks on their first listen. Would love to see your 10th listen reaction in a year or two. The prying open part doesn’t sound nice at all and that feeling of nails ona chalk board is the point tho to create the dynamic tension. This one has no release at the end which keeps you coming back for more. It’s like “is that it?” The release is in the middle, so you keep going for loops, and the line repeats over and over. Each time going deeper. Like long meditation or a mantra chant. Trying to force enlightenment, which of course cannot be forced. Hope that makes sense.
i kind of understand where you're going with your review: as a stand-alone song, this is not an easy listen. it is a tripped out mess of a jam which gives very little sense of cohesion, and few threads for the first-time listener to grasp onto. for me it was and is the perfect end to one of the greatest albums ever made. eye would recommend trying the live version from Salival at some point. because it is live, it instantly has the cohesion this version seems to lack (but then once you've heard the live version you realise what a tripped out mess of a jam it's supposed to be and the world corrects its spin).
@@SeanStaxxMusic there’s a few ‘gems’ in there like this that I just don’t get down with. People like what they like…and I just don’t care for this one - which is why it’s not on the list I sent to you via Twitter 😡 I wish I could find your queue and burn it to the ground! 🤣👊

That’s true, there were many songs where the more I listened to them, the more I loved and became one of my favorites.
I agree, some of their songs don’t grab you on the first listen. …but once you settle into it, you end up being BLOWN AWAY!
bro facts. i remember listening to this w the lights off in hs, loved the beauty in this one, it got me high before i took drugs
3rd eye, parabola, right in two, and 46 & 2 are my mt. rushmore
@bevrosity I'd say 46&2, Schism, Invincible and Rosetta Stoned are my personal Mt Rushmore
This is the song that elevated tool to a whole new level. It is one of the best songs ever made.
I think, this being the final track of the album, by the time you get to it you're in a certain state of mind that makes you more receptive to it and it makes sense more as the release at the end of the album than a standalone song.
Tool occasionally have gag tracks, intermissions, etc, that I wouldn't consider to be 'songs'.
This is one of the best TOOL song. Just open you thirs ear🙂. As every tool song after a few listen it`s getting better and better.
If you watch the live Salival version of this song you will have a whole different appreciation for it. Wicked performance.
100% agree!

"I think this is my least favorite Tool song."
Interesting. Third Eye is my absolute favorite Tool song. Not their best IMO, but still my favorite. So many layers, so trippy, I float out of my body listening to it and I enjoy that. Maybe revisit the song a year from now? Not in a reaction context. You might be surprised.
+1 for your honesty, nothing wrong with it.
I honestly did not care for 3rd Eye for quite a while. Until I really got into more of their less mainstream songs. Now I absolutely love it.
To be fair none of my absolute favourite tool songs now, were even a look in 3, maybe 4 years ago. They always change but I find new things in every song all the time. All part of the ride 🤙
@@LanceThompsonKssooner Yep!!! Totally agree!
Me too. Ever since the first time I heard it.
@@LanceThompsonKssooner same here. This song was a definite skip for about 2 years. Then, I circled back to it and it clicked, love it now.
Adams tone and sound on that last short of “solo” is outstanding to me. They dedicated this album to comedian Bill Hicks, Maynard’s favorite comedian. That’s what the sound clips where in the beginning. Third eye 👁 is a very trippy ride to sums up the entire anemia album. One the best albums of all time
This is one of those songs that took me a couple years to appreciate.

To me, this is the Tool-iest Tool song and one I always go back to. It's Definitely in my top 5.

Love this track so much and the psychedelic elements.

Bro you gotta check out vicarious how have you missed that song!
I was in all ears. In all ears. 🎧 What a magnificent group of artists. 🎶🎵

What's crazy is how many times I've heard people say Tool is boring because every song sounds the same....
What?! They must not have really been listening smh
Right? I always figured it was because they didn't "get it", so they just don't try.
You should give a listen to Crawl Away by Tool
I'd call this one of Tools boss fight songs, my personal #1.
Haha boss fight I like it
This is a grower for sure. You just are not yet ready to pry open your third eye. ;)
For me this took quite some time to click, but it happened.
please react to vicarious!
Added to the list 👌📝
It’s like Tool jazz kind of
This track always sounded like Tool leaning a bit industrial to me. Sounds like Tool, but with some Ministry influence in there. Like a blend of the other tracks on the album with a touch of Pslam 69 sprinkled in.
I realise I am four months late, but I would recommend looking to at least listen to their discography from the very start to Fear Innoculum. You don't have to react to it, but I think it'd be a great idea
I wouldn’t mind revisiting all these songs! Such a crazy band
One simple fact: one listen of pretty much any TOOL song is really nothing, especially the long ones.
This song is like drinking from a fire hose
Haha endless water?
@@SeanStaxxMusic ha.. So much to take in at one time
Least Favorite? I understand that. I've been a hardcore Tool fan since '97 and Third Eye was just one that I never really connected with until I saw the Salival version live. React to the live version and see if it doesn't hit you different. Now it's one of my favorite songs by them
I will put the salival version on the list! 🤘📝
I'm a huge TOOL fan but I can still appreciate you not digging the song completely. I honestly didn't really vibe with it for like 15 years or so, but I've really warmed up to it lately. They could cut out like 10 of the "prying open my third eye" parts and it wouldn't hurt
Mate, when you gonna do Ticks and leeches?
It’s comin!
The salival version of this song is so much better to be honest.
Agreed....and this one is my fav >>>th-cam.com/video/A3X3Im2YoL8/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1
Nothing wrong with having a least favorite Tool song. At least you're honest and not just showering praise when you don't feel the song. I know I'm gonna get shit on for saying this but it's one if my least favourites and I've been a fan since their debut. I can appreciate the story behind it and the composition and give them both due respect. Just not my cup of tea. Thanks for keeping it real, lotsa reactors out there who do not.
17:15 you don't need to do anything about fibbonachi or whatever rhythm beat sequence. Viewers don't watch "first time reaction" vids to get an in-depth analysis about the complex timings and shit.
haha i didn't like it either on first listen...now it is in my top 3 which is actually a top 9 because there three songs in each position..
Oh shit…I will give it more listens 🤘😵💫
@@SeanStaxxMusic well worth it...I'm also thinking about your earlier comments on Pushit. That song was the same for me. I used to skip them when I was listening to this on cassette 🤣 now they are both near the top of my list.
I'd be so happy if you listened to Reflection. I've never been moved by a song and it's lyrics like that one.
And for Third Eye, to me it's a trip relived in musical form. You see things and then the trip gets wild with the chaotic guitar. Then the mid section with the "in, out, in, out" before it gets very quiet is like breathing to snap out of it and the blissful part of the trip happens again.. if you've ever done psychedelic's, a common theme is it comes in waves. And I feel this song is just wave after wave of chaos, and I love it.
Yes but it needs to be done with Disposition and Triad.
@@hunterfitch5951 Yes, yes it does.
Mmmm, Reflection is up there, my fave I reckon, especially the ending.
You missed nothing. it's the hardest song on the album to like. it takes multiple listens to fully appreciate it, and even now (after being a Tool fan since Undertow) I skip it if i'm not in the right mood. When i'm in the right mood and can sink myself into the song it's one of the greatest experiences on the album.
Don’t think anyone likes these deep tracks on their first listen. Would love to see your 10th listen reaction in a year or two. The prying open part doesn’t sound nice at all and that feeling of nails ona chalk board is the point tho to create the dynamic tension. This one has no release at the end which keeps you coming back for more. It’s like “is that it?” The release is in the middle, so you keep going for loops, and the line repeats over and over. Each time going deeper. Like long meditation or a mantra chant. Trying to force enlightenment, which of course cannot be forced. Hope that makes sense.
i kind of understand where you're going with your review: as a stand-alone song, this is not an easy listen. it is a tripped out mess of a jam which gives very little sense of cohesion, and few threads for the first-time listener to grasp onto. for me it was and is the perfect end to one of the greatest albums ever made. eye would recommend trying the live version from Salival at some point. because it is live, it instantly has the cohesion this version seems to lack (but then once you've heard the live version you realise what a tripped out mess of a jam it's supposed to be and the world corrects its spin).
Swing on the spiral and I'll see you on the other side.
😵💫👽🤘
Hi! React please SKYND very interesting art performance band wrote songs about true crime! Not glorified just translate crime to the music!!
Listen on mushrooms....it'll make more sense :)
I've never been a fan of this one either, even though their talent is in full force, this one just isn't my cuppa tea.
This is on a very short list of 'Tool songs that I don't listen to'.
What?! I never thought I’d see a comment like this from you Mike 🤯
@@SeanStaxxMusic there’s a few ‘gems’ in there like this that I just don’t get down with. People like what they like…and I just don’t care for this one - which is why it’s not on the list I sent to you via Twitter 😡 I wish I could find your queue and burn it to the ground! 🤣👊
Just admit it at this point you don’t like tool lol every song you’ve reacted to you don’t like 🙄
