I play this song for my kids and they dance around and act like wild animals. It’s always “dad, play the tool song!” It sounds primal and nature and I can see them getting ramped up to it. It makes my heart guts melt as a father I’m not going to lie
my favourite. it is impossible to stand still while listening. people doesn't care about Triad as much as the other songs in the album because it has no lyrics. but there is no reason to write any. as a theme, lateralus is about change and spiritual progress. throughout this spiritual progress, a person who is free from hatred and has chosen humility, chosen his path, focuses only on the infinity in front of him, has prepared for it, accepts the change and no longer needs to speak. only lives. any object in front of it is no longer there to think about it or comment. this is the reason they went full instrumental on this. This song is the end of the journey, a celebration.
I managed to sit still the entire song. might be cuz i'm quite wasted on weed, valium, pregabalin, opium tincture and stuff. It sounded really good though, really cerebral, loads of shit going on. One last listen then I'm going bed.
Fuck yes! Bad lyricsism has ruined lots of good songs, and I feel everyone is guilty of it to some degree, but Tool has always been the exception.. Pairing two genres with godly skill.
If only my JBL headphones weren't so loud, when I cover the right side I can hear that annoying Aaaaaaaa a little, but from now on that is better than muting this song those three times. Thx man...
@@kaneneeser3575I beg to differ, that aaaaa is completely unnecessary in this song I'm sorry, and I don't believe that is Maynard on the lyrics but if or is, it should have been left out of this song. It just would have been better without it.
It's only on rare occasions that a group of people this talented and distinctive find each other in the same time at the same place. The results can often be beyond description. Tool are a stand alone, completely unlike any before or since.
My dad described them perfectly: "They define a sound, when you hear a Tool song, you don't just think, oh yeah that's a rock song, you KNOW it's Tool. They are the modern, more metal, Pink Floyd."
The first time I heard this, I was driving across town and this badass violent cold front was moving in. The clouds were pitch back, and the lightning was ferocious. I turned this up as loud as I could stand it as the meteorological mayhem ensued. I would have been fine driving my truck into a wall and bursting into flames right then and there.
2:48 that but where Adam is reeling the band in just before cutting them the fuck loose into controlled chaos is amazing. The first half is just a slow stalk, like your tribe is hunting game, then at 2:54 is the attack, where all that pressure builds and it’s life or death to devour to survive. To me this is a victory song, for a tribe that’s evolving, adapting, surviving, learning and ultimately thriving. Just as humans should.
How do you feel about the Jarawa Tribe? Above the Forest by Vishvjit Pandya - We should connect ....lots to share and learn...8 years after I found Tool - I delivered a 30 images of Paleolithic cave art to their shaman....Whats your story?
On the lateralus tour in 2002 I saw them at MSG, they played all 3 tracks and at the end of disposition the band went backstage (minus Danny) while he sat there playing the repetitive beat for 20 plus minutes during a light show accompanied by acrobatic stunts from the schism creatures from the actual video who came out and on stage during schism and walked on all fours bobbing their heads. They opened with the grudge and closed with lateralus which came right after triad. I'll never see another show that comes close to that. Ever.
I went to that same tour! But the show I saw was in Atlanta. They had the other drummers from the opening acts come out and do a 20 minute drum act in the middle of Reflection while the rest of the band went off stage. Then they came back, finished Disposition then went into Triad. Closed with Lateralus.
I'm a city person,I don't like nature,don't like much animals,but when the Holy Trinity reach Triad,I feel like a beast running in a field during a tempest,and is just like a want to feel,is like the deepest scream of my soul
That don't mean yu gotta contain all that shit till you find a relief moment amidst chaos. Out of chaos you create order and so you shine bright and undefeated against darkness. Create your moments of relief
One thing that I have always loved about tool as how they function as a single unit. There is no ego involved in it and when they are on their music feels like it is really coming through from another place.
@@panameadeplm one of the best tool songs ever recorded. Sorry but your opinion of a song wont affect mine. Because I formulate my own opinions. Cause I'm a person not a tool or sheep. But yeah go off
@@kamenanew9867 being insipid is not a virtue if you think 7empest is on par with tool's earllier works, all that means is that you are unable to fully appreciate tool's earlier works, sorry to have to break it to you the fact that this is the majority opinion both of critics and fans, is nothing but salt on the pile
Simply entrancing. Spiritual. Timeless. This track is one of many reasons I'll love this band and it's members to death, despite whatever temporary trends or socially acceptable yet soulless creations will keep getting forced to popularity.
My Dad use to play this album quite a bit along with Aenima and didn’t play Undertow or 10 000 days often, Tool has a important place in my heart whenever I think about my dad and what he did to prepare me and my brothers for the real world, all of the music he raised me on, Especially Tool it makes me feel proud to be his Son
Now listen kids... this is the greatest piece of music ever written... The effect this has on moving my spirit is unparralled to any other. Truly a spiritual experience..
@shaking like tremolo well in MY Opinion this couldn't be any better.. this is my go to song to uplift motivate and power me through any mental or physical stressors. Its fuckin awesome. But hey dont get me wrong i am a man who loves his ripping solos... Lamb Of God has an instrumental with 4 ripping solos written by Alex Skolnick, Chris Poland,Willie Adler and Mark Morton check out 'Ashes of the Wake' you might dig it!
You guys are young, I wouldn't say this to your elders. It won't go well, I said this about Danny just being the best of our generation..oh man I ate shit for a half hour. You could pick up 5 bands from the 70s that would change your perspective, I'm not just talking black sabbath or led zepplin...I could go on and on and my advice probably won't go anywhere but hey...needed to be said
People give lots of credit to Justin, but not nearly enough credit about how difficult the bass line in this song is. The stamina needed to play these fast hammer-ons and pull-offs on a .105 or .110 string at the 2nd and 3rd fret for 6:37 minutes straight is pretty serious. You feel like your tendons are ripped out by the 3 minute mark.
I see what you're saying. But when you've been playing as long these guys have you just build up that endurance and it becomes fairly simple. I say this because I play this song on Guitar, Adam and Justin's part are the same in that section and I do it constantly. Seems difficult but it's not that bad after practicing for a while.
Tool is clairaudience for audiophiles and that has a tendency to unlock other latent alchemical abilities like clairsentience. It's all wavelengths and frequencies. Some of us are more sensitive to it than the majority of population. Some how Tool transmuted links between thinking and feeling in all perception. It makes me want to experiment with light refraction. Which obviously links to Pink Floyd's album art of the beam of light refracting to a rainbow of the 6 hues of color in our visible spectrum. That triangle is key to our perception of light. A true perception of reality is through a triad lense 3 eyes united. Forming a triad of perception of light refraction rather than a binary one. Why has our evolution been engineered to ignore this equation? Shouldn't we all have our 3rd eye to guide us in a 3rd dimensional existence?
@@satothemonkey3366 Thank you. I have so much more to say. The depth of which is immeasurable. I've been studying the phenomena for over a decade. The more I piece together, the less of a phenomenon it seems to me. Eventually it feels familiar as the philosophy falls into place, filling in the gaps in the spectrum. Triads reveal themselves to me. The math proves itself over and over in a multitude of events in everyone's daily life. Many people are capable of questioning reality, but are they asking the right questions? Or are they lost because they're searching endlessly for the justification of what they want reality to be for them? I haven't met anyone else who has discovered the ability to analyze our geometric perception of reality.
That riff is the tool riff to end all tool riffs. The amount and finality it has to it is so epic. The last part of lateralus is my favorite of the epic closing songs tool has on their albums. Reflection and triad are the pinnacle of this band’s power.
Tool makes me think about myself, my own dreams and how I interact with the world. It's kind of like a self-orientated spiritual journey. Maybe my belief is that in my mind I am the center of the universe, though I realize everyone else thinks the same way, therefore I see the world as a collection of unique individuals sharing the resources of the universe. God to me is the creator, the lawyer, the rock star. God is too busy enjoying the world to pay too much attention providing everyone with what they want. I think that the altimate creator would create an after life for individuals. Individuals when they die go to a mulitverse, where they get to relive a new life, meet new people, and simply enjoy living.
Tool played this live. Lowell, Massachusetts. Tsongas (songas) Arena. Also did Third Eye. Its on TH-cam somewhere. Members of the backup band played also on this song. Awesome!
I remember blaring this in my headphones in high school whilst battling the Hunters in the very first halo game. I felt like the chants and hums in the song encapsulated the hunters presence perfectly. Now when I hear this song, I just think about how beautiful of a game the first Halo was. Anyways, if you're a gamer, I highly recommend this song for gaming. I listen to this when I fight Malenia in Elden Ring and it's super relaxing and rhythmic.
I'm just listening to this for my first time (as well as the whole album.) I dare say this was absolutely necessary to be here. I feel reborn, refreshed, thanks to this song. It's as if all songs lead up to this very minute.
@@siddharthmahapatra6092 i listen to this as a workout endurance boost, i think Lowell, Maryland? I have the audio in mp3 format from the youtube video.. ah yes! What a time to be alive...
@@mgonzalez8880 I believe he collaborated on all of their shows on the 2002 Lateralus Tour. Thanks to ToolArchive I can live those surreal moments. And yeah I have them as mp3 audios too xD
Indeed. I witnessed it firsthand in Phoenix AZ Lateralus tour. They brought out a bunch of marching band drummer high school kids to jam with Danny on 'Reflection'. Good shit.
Experiencing this peaking on 175ug completely changed my relationship with the song. This music is transcendental and sacred. It's so much more than music even, idk I can't describe it, just sacred 🕉
I bet that Maynard didn't show up to practice one day, so the other members had a jam session, and when it's done they realize they accidentally recorded it and decided to put it on the album.
Jake M man, did you rip thru explosively to the other side?? I can associate this with parts of the journey but not reaching the destination. No where near serene enough
Oh my fuckin god what an incredible piece of music. Unbelievable and no other collection of artists could have made this track this way other than Tool. So distinctively their own sound.

Truly great story- which always seem to happen when you’re alone- even if in the midst of others. Tool❤

God to me is the creator, the lawyer, the rock star. God is too busy enjoying the world to pay too much attention providing everyone with what they want. I think that the altimate creator would create an after life for individuals. Individuals when they die go to a mulitverse, where they get to relive a new life, meet new people, and simply enjoy living.
Tool played this live. Lowell, Massachusetts. Tsongas (songas) Arena. Also did Third Eye. Its on TH-cam somewhere. Members of the backup band played also on this song. Awesome!
This is my favorite lyric-less Tool song
What a time to be alive
I remember blaring this in my headphones in high school whilst battling the Hunters in the very first halo game. I felt like the chants and hums in the song encapsulated the hunters presence perfectly. Now when I hear this song, I just think about how beautiful of a game the first Halo was. Anyways, if you're a gamer, I highly recommend this song for gaming. I listen to this when I fight Malenia in Elden Ring and it's super relaxing and rhythmic.
I'm just listening to this for my first time (as well as the whole album.) I dare say this was absolutely necessary to be here. I feel reborn, refreshed, thanks to this song. It's as if all songs lead up to this very minute.
Goosebumps every time.
4:06 the time signature transition from 6/6 to 8/8 to 6/6 again while maintaining a similar melody is what love most about tool
This must be unbelievable live.
it is
With Tomas Haake joining Danny on drums, it is
@@siddharthmahapatra6092 i listen to this as a workout endurance boost, i think Lowell, Maryland? I have the audio in mp3 format from the youtube video.. ah yes! What a time to be alive...
@@mgonzalez8880 I believe he collaborated on all of their shows on the 2002 Lateralus Tour. Thanks to ToolArchive I can live those surreal moments. And yeah I have them as mp3 audios too xD
Indeed. I witnessed it firsthand in Phoenix AZ Lateralus tour. They brought out a bunch of marching band drummer high school kids to jam with Danny on 'Reflection'. Good shit.
This song is the epitome of anguish. The embodiment of melancholy. A diamond made of crystallized tears.
Triad is amazing. The beauty and greatness of music.
I just listened to Disposition, Reflection, and Triad simultaneously, and it was horrifyingly good.
This is probably just a warm up jam for them.
sounds about right for the guys that made fucking lateralus.
Dammit Danny! You are a beast on those drums. 🤟🏻👍🔥🎶🎶🎶
My favourite Tool song.
Unbelievable !
Tool know something that other people don't ❤
Hear those tool riffs my god!!
Yeah, I hear them :).
aaaaahhhhhh yeah
It feels as if i just listened to a greatest hits compilation. Lateralus is the greatest album
Experiencing this peaking on 175ug completely changed my relationship with the song. This music is transcendental and sacred. It's so much more than music even, idk I can't describe it, just sacred 🕉
I'm 61 and I'm just enjoying all of tool
Thank you, TH-cam for having the good decency to transition directly from Reflection to Triad. You're alright.
they fuck me over EVERY time!
Not anymore, appearently.
Yea wth happened. I need all three songs together!
lucky bastard.
this here is what makes Tool amazing for me... the ability to go into other dimensions and push envelopes with non traditional music
This was always one of my all time favorite Tool songs!
So underrated that’s why Triad is my favorite
I'm not sure if I'm just listening to tool or if I'm summoning an ancient god of something 🔥🔥
I bet that Maynard didn't show up to practice one day, so the other members had a jam session, and when it's done they realize they accidentally recorded it and decided to put it on the album.
Totally underrated! Powerful track
Tool needs to do more Adam guitar instrumental songs…
this is what total self-actualization sounds like
Jake M man, did you rip thru explosively to the other side?? I can associate this with parts of the journey but not reaching the destination. No where near serene enough
Makes me think of horses galloping across a desert under a blood red sky
Cool.
Makes me think in the sky filled with triangles and eyes, moving around like an ocean xD
A masterful end to a masterpiece of an album
What an epic wild state song , I can see the warrior struggle in running to the light! left the darkness behind, break into the Truth path!
We’re you high when you wrote this comment
this is so tribal it's like music coming from a dose of psychedelics
OthMan so true that I feel our ancestors spirit.
@@Astro8way I am so fucking high right now and holy shit I can attest to this
Kind of reminds me of complete chaos, forests burning, the hum of helicopters in the distance etc
@@honkmaster Orcs dancing around a bonfire before a midnight hunt.
JackAlope ! I was thinking more napalm and gunfire but that also works
Oh my fuckin god what an incredible piece of music. Unbelievable and no other collection of artists could have made this track this way other than Tool. So distinctively their own sound.
It takes an easy mind to turn up the volume and listen to this magical hit. Great job Tool!!!
Nothing can top this masterpiece in my book
My favourite part starts at 5:37
The Singularity, the end... 87 years have been building up for this holy moment, now, what did you see?
Tribal, primordial, violent..a masterpiece.
This is music that you build yourself to
Turning 50 this year. Nothing like Triad to make you feel like your 20 again...
