Nick and Lex , thanks so much for this reaction! I got off work and was so excited to you had uploaded this video. I have been waiting for months for the opportunity to share my love of this band with you to. I have been a die hard fan from the beginning and their music has helped me through some really tough times! I really just wanted to bookend their evolution as band by choosing something off their earlier album , then show off Descending! Its one of many really great tracks off fear innoculum. My wish is that this will ignite you both to dive in to their catalog! Im my opinion , i believe this is not a band you can frequent or only listen to a song a coupe times. Especially their new material. That being said , i feel i may have got this request in too late. Now that you are into other styles of music at the moment! I also understand that this band is not for everyone! Regardless, i loved your reaction! It made my day watching this! Truly truly did!😀 i love this channel and both of you! Thanks for everything! 2022 is gonna be a great year for this channel! 🤘🏿
You got em wearing Tool shirts. I subbed. It’s time for ALL to react to TOOL. Great Music that takes you away. Lyrics about the Human Condition. Raw, and real. But hopefully. Makes you ascend. Spiral out and feel. Be.
Damn, Eric! I love this comment! Thank you for the recommendation (if that was yours - if not, thanks to the Eric who did)! The combination of the songs is awesome and definitely worked! ➰
@@moritzkorsch9029 it was my request and my comment. I appreciate that! Thanks for the message! I love this channel and having the ability to share music! Cheers!
I know this is an old video, but "musicianship" is the perfect word to describe the construction of this song. Well said, both of you, well said. - TOOL ARMY class of '93
"Descending" is special. The first Metal song that made me emotional, with tears in my eyes. They are masters in composition. Masters in making music that touches the very soul. I'm not religious or in matters of spirituality or anything like that, but Tool in Lateralus and Fear Inoculum albums, made songs that are a true spiritual journey.
Totally agree with you guy's, when you listen to Tool it puts you in a meditative trance. With their changes of intensity in their music and the haunting vocals from Maynard it transport you into a whole other headspace.
Dad here.....Yes, please do Pneuma!!! I keep telling them how cool that video is!. I loved this reaction. Thanks Eric for all your support and for suggesting this!. I'm a fan, and thankful that it's so new for me. That last song from the new album was great! Keep up the great work guys!!👍
The wholesomeness of this comment section is palpable! Did Eric get you onto Tool? It's amazing the effort he put into his request. (New to this channel, will see how many more he requested)
I loved the reaction!! I'm slowly immersing myself into the Tool catalog, but I have listened to quite a few tracks from Fear Inoculum. I think this album is epic, one that will be listened to and talked about for many years. I think Tempest(7empest) is the best song, but Invincible, Fear Inoculum and Pneuma are all incredible songs.
Love this marathon! 💝 Lost my comment, I think 🤔. Late night TH-cam = maybe I was dreaming that I left a comment?!! I must be “sleep walking through my waking life and wake-walking through my sleeping life.” (Lucid dreaming tips in the film, Waking Life). 🤪 😴
I think this is a massively underrated Tool song. The message around protecting the planet combined w/ incredible atmosphere and increasing urgency just nails it for me.
A nice appetizer before I feast on Tool live in a couple of days, two of my favorite tracks being cooked up by a couple of my favorite reactors! Thanks for posting, this weekend is going to be lit! Now, if i can just find a taker for my extra floor seat in Miami...
Not the same line-up. The bass-player is different. Justin brought so much more soul to the music with his style of bass-play. He didn't often get the respect he deserves. When thinking about doing an whole album, please do "LATERALUS". In my opinion one of the greatest rock albums ever recorded.
Tool is amazing: but the 1st time I heard about the band, it was when Maynard was featuring in a Live Performance or Tori Amos, the song was Muhammad My Friend, I loved his voice then as I love it now.
Oh how I have missed you two!!! You're missing out on the TOOL vibe.....one of the greatest Rock/Metal bands of all time, the dynamics and mix on this album is absolutely mind bending,, 30 years later...a true masterpiece! Looking good kids!
Thanks so much for these two ! Both are great ! But Descending is one where you go in one way and you come out a little different but better ! Uplifted !
I just saw Tool in concert on 01/19/22 San Diego, I had 5th row floor seat center section it was my 4th time seeing Tool in concert always an awesome concert!!
Paul D amor was the original bassist for Tool for the EP opiate and their album undertow and actually did some songs on aenema then Justin Chancellor came in and finished some of the records on aenema when Paul left and Justin has been the bass player ever since
Interesting with the lyrics discussion because as a guitar player myself I get connecting to the music first, but what’s cool about Tool is how you can connect so deeply to the music by itself and then when you add what Maynard is talking about it just takes it all to a higher level. Even if you disagree with his point of view for some reason, he makes his point so beautifully it doesn’t matter whether you agree or not.
Descending is a majestic beautiful beast of a song that's sends shivers down my spine, and i well up with tears when the guitar solo comes in near the end i can actually hear to me the guitar cry, it's great seeing you enjoying the music so much 🤘
Lexi mentions doing more of them and I think there are a pretty good size group of people that would love to have you two review more tool ! There is greatness to be heard in all of their releases !
The next song from TOOL you guys gotta react to "7empest"..from Fear Inoculum..it won the guys an Emmy for "best hard rock" song...its even on video..Justin Chancellor (bass) and the beast Danny Carey (drums)..were there to go onstage and accept their award..which was VERY cool...))
Thank you Eric for this match of two songs I was unfamiliar with. Nice choice to pick a early song with late song. It is a great band. I own the albums Lateralus ( Masterpiece) and Ænima. What a unique band. Even with their first songs, they have their own sound. I think Fear Inocolum is right my alley, more contemplative, meditative, but I like some raw songs too. All is good for Tool. I liked what you said there Nick about the harmonizing guitar and not showing of, but always see the philosophy of the sum that is more then the parts. Rock and metal is not my favorite musicgenre but I like Tool. I always ask myself why
BEST band in the world ever... And not only by their skills, also by being the only band producing an unique an different feeling inside when listening, specially from Aenima and later.... which i cannot put it in words, really hard to explain. just amazing.
I'm familiar enough with Tool, but not these two songs. Very enjoyable indeed. I really like that your channel is "like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get." I saw a review of this year's Tool tour, by someone who has never seen them before and his mind was sufficiently blown! 🤯🤯🤯
I like your comparison with the chocolate box, because that's what Tool is for me ... I like many songs, but there's also a lot of stuff, which doesn't do anything to me ... for example I'm not a big friend of the "interludes" on the albums. My view of this band is even more critical since I don't like the hardcore fans acting as if Tool were gods .... and I didn't like the commercial step of the band, only offering the expensive version of the latest CD. I never bought it and I maybe never will .... and I have heard critical Tool fans say, the new album is boring.... I can't judge, because I don't know it.
I think the wah part is played with a slide, not a Floyd Rose. Adam plays Gibson Les Paul's amd more recently a Flying V - all hard tails. I'm excited for more Tool! Cheers!
NicknLex: I know this is something different from your usual taste, but I love the Texas band Midland, and they have recorded their song Drinking Problem, in Spanish, featuring Jay De La Cueva. Drinking Problem(Brindemos). Maybe you like?
If you want something similar try Soen 'Cognitive' . That's there first album, they are very good and developed their own sound more and more over the rest of their albums.
I'm gonna' get flack . . . I enjoy THAT album and Soen MUCH more than Tool, because it has a bit more "difference" as the tracks move along. You can hear a touch of "Opeth" because of their former drummer/and founder of Soen; "Martin Lopez". My fave Tool albums is "Lateralus" and "10,000 Days", and I can enjoy any era of Tool, but I keep wanting more out of them. But I think many people like them because their music puts people in a "meditative" state. They definitely were a huge influence (along with Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Riverside and especially Paradise Lost) for melancholic heavier music. For those that enjoy Tool, and those that need "more" . . . III ~ th-cam.com/play/PL2DU3TBNutEcnr_Fjq-ZMNeALABnPjz_S.html 3rd Entrance ~ th-cam.com/play/PL2DU3TBNutEfs6mwWx_xIRZuJWhL6m2dF.html \m/
Hi Tony, I'm absolutely with you. As I wrote in my Soen comment before, I like Joel so much, also the others. I sometimes feel like, to understand Tool/Maynard completly, you have to be american... ok the music is universal, but I don't get all of his emotions or whatever he wants to express ....
Tools my favorite band has to my favorite band by 25 years but like as far as I'm concerned what draws me in is Danny Adam and Justin as far as I'm concerned as good as Maynard is I paid to see this band without it just as much money it's the music it's the three band members playing that draws me in the most. And I think that many of Maynard's vocals are sometimes just vague and could be just about anything but the 70% of fans that are complete the douchebags who think they're deep thinkers and there's like some great profound meaning to every song should really get lives he's even admitted that he writes songs with almost nonsensical lyrics because he almost enjoys the way people try to break it down and find greater meeting and everything when sometimes there isn't

Descending is incredible. You guys really need to hear tempest. Adam Jones (guitarist) really shows a new level here!
Only Adam Jones can pull off a 4-minute guitar solo in 21/8 and still make it compelling to me.

Coming from someone in their 60s it is refreshing to see young people respond honestly to what we have known is some of the best music around !
I think this is a massively underrated Tool song. The message around protecting the planet combined w/ incredible atmosphere and increasing urgency just nails it for me.
Rush meets Black Sabbath meets Pink Floyd
No one be talking bout how underrated 4 degrees is?? Its one of my top 5 tool tracks

Tool is a music genre
I don't think many people agree with me....but every time I hear this song, it reminds me of Natural Science.
A nice pairing, as it bookends the band's progression over time. Very insightful commentary.

@@ingobordewick6480 I actually watched it right after I wrote my comment 🤪
Fantastic performance. I’ve been a fan of both Tool and Tori for years, and that’s always been one of those performances that stays in my mind.
Great work team! Not only are they masters of music but also the integration of art and culture. FI album is a masterpiece
AT LAST!!! ANOTHER TOOL REACTION...IT HAS BEEN A WHILE GUYS ..... THANK YOU FOR THIS
Oh how I have missed you two!!! You're missing out on the TOOL vibe.....one of the greatest Rock/Metal bands of all time, the dynamics and mix on this album is absolutely mind bending,, 30 years later...a true masterpiece! Looking good kids!
Seeing TOOL ('94 or '95) open the show with 4° is one of the most ballsy and best things I've ever seen in my life.
Descending is one of the best songs written ! If you all see it live you will agree ! At the top of my list !
Thanks so much for these two ! Both are great ! But Descending is one where you go in one way and you come out a little different but better ! Uplifted !

I know that, for a lot of TθθL fans, this is their favorite song. It’s not mine, but… I get it.

love when they hit the pedal
I was raised in the 70s on Rush Zeppelin Floyd and others To me Tool is on another level
I see tool as a child of those three great bands you mentioned. 👍🏼🤘🏼
Thank you for mentioning the jazz influence in Danny’s drumming. I almost never hear anyone say that.
yes many spoke about it & its obvious when you are peeling off he's drumming
I'm kinda shy cuz I want to explain what four degrees is all about hihihi .....
Finding this 2 years late. Fantastic idea for a video and you both picked up on all the cool shit.
Something else that you all would enjoy is 7empest ! Nick especially !
You are going to love the last song of Fear Inoculum album, 7empest.
They're mastery of creating this big submersive sound through layering Will never be able to be matched by anybody
Interesting, new to Tool but going to see them in a couple of months. Looking forward to it.
THANK GOD you finally came back to Tool lol I've been waiting not-so-patiently-enough haha
TOOL WILL MAKE ALL OF US BETTER HUMANS and yes do Lateralus

Not the same Line -up, the bassist was Paul D'Amour on the Undertow Album, Justin Chancellor, the actual bassist, joined the band during 1995.😉
You guys are serius listeners and original music lovers, great videos!!!
You should do a Pushit then a Pushit (Salival) back to back reaction ^.^
TOOL is the tightest band ever!
Here we gooooo!! Love your reactions, and love TOOL. Cheers! 🥰
Somehow Tool sounds heavier than other bands.
Adam uses a lot of restraint on the solo's , which only makes them better !
NicknLex: I know this is something different from your usual taste, but I love the Texas band Midland, and they have recorded their song Drinking Problem, in Spanish, featuring Jay De La Cueva. Drinking Problem(Brindemos). Maybe you like?
With Tool you have to surrender to Danny and then let the rest wash over you.
I think you should the studio version of Pneuma first before the live version
Depending is a masterpiece!
yes the drop D isn't with APC yall nailed it

Feels like there was some lateralus call backs, especially the synth part.
When you do Pneuma please do the album version first, then the Danny drum cam version both back to back, you'd appreciate it much more that way!
Yeah pneuma drum cam is the epitome of excellence
not the same musicians, Paul d'amore was the bassist until aenima. after that it's Justin chancellor
