The reason this song seems so different is because it's based on a classic comedy bit by the late Bill Hicks, in which California gets dropped away into the ocean, forming "Arizona Bay." He was friendly with Maynard and they were planning to incorporate his act as an opener before he died of cancer. This entire album was actually dedicated to his memory!
This is James expressing his disgust for Los Angeles and his reference to Mom is him asking Mother Nature to do her thing talking about California's supposed great quake that will have them slipping off into the Pacific.
This is the 1st Tool song I ever heard. I love that lyric "Momma's gonna fix it all soon, Momma's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to be". Meaning (at least to me) that Mother Nature will fix our mistakes & misuse of our planet thru natural disasters. Such a great song & album.
I love that the most common comment is about Tool fans giddy over someone hearing Tool for the first time. I first heard Tool in 1996 when Ænema came on the radio and when Danny Carey’s drums take over in the middle of the song I got goose bumps from music for the first time. There’s no better band to hear for the first time. Color me green cause I’m jelly as hell! Tool army for life!
I remember the first time I heard this track, back on the day it came out, and it instantly became my favorite song OF ALL TIME. And that was without the benefit of knowing what the FUCKing lyrics were about exactly. I think it was the rolling drum triplets that really knocked my socks off. 25 years later and the song is perhaps even more powerful considering the steady decline of our culture and the rise of climate change. Anyway, great reaction and go Seahawks!
Props to you for your videos man. Been a tool fan a long time and I enjoy getting other people’s opinion on them . Keep it up there’s a lot more to explore with the singers other bands as well.
Although Tool uses an A in front of Enema it is essentially an Enema that he's talking about to flush everything away like an enema flushes out your bowels.

You are missing a great song from Tool “Parabol/Parabola”
“One great big festering neon distraction. I’ve got a suggestion to keep you all occupied.” My favorite part.

This is anger encapsulated in a song
I gotta recommend Eulogy by tool for your next tool reaction

"It sounds like somebody pissed them off."
The entire album, "Aenima," is easily regarded as one of the greatest albums of the 90s... if not the entire rock genre.
This song is about "Mother Earth" spitting California off into the Pacific Ocean.
Yeah Maynard was PISSED in this one
TOOL is such an emotional ride you can't compare it to any other artist.
Tool The Grudge next please. You're the goat of of reaction videos
