Well. I can either put on the classic reactor persona and tell you how much I loved this, or I can be honest.

You wont get hate for it from the Tool Army because a lot of Tool fans felt a similar way first couple of listens. Honestly this one took me a whole lotta listens for it to click. Now imo its one of the best things they have done. This will be a common theme in the comments.
First listen =wtf pass
multiple listens=this is fucking incredible.
Took me a few years to really get into after TTD was released. Def not an easy first listen for many.
Yes, a few songs need a revisit.
I used to hate this song. It was too much to mentally digest. Now it’s one of my favorite Tool songs.
@@JoeD0403 me too. Its so weird how that seems to be a really common reaction. With me it was like the penny just dropped or my brain caught up to it one day. i think i was actually watching a drum cover of it on CZcams. Now it doesn't seem hard to digest in the slightest.
It's so different to everything else that it didn't click with me for years... But the build to the best climax in the catalogue imo, and the joke it entails is one of my favourite pieces of music 👍
My absolute favorite Tool song. The story and composition of this song is brilliant. We all are different though :(
I love it too, we all have friends that this song is based on lol
Too early for Rosetta:-) give it a try in a future.
When I heard this the day the album dropped, my mind was blown. I listen to it every day, haha.
Absolutely no one will or should flame you for this. It's like a superfan tier song like Third Eye, Disgustipated, Die Eir Von Satan, LAMC, and Maynard's Dick. God i love that last one.
I think someone wants to slide a mile six inches at a time 😁
@@jainelson8840 you bet your ass i do ROFL
The amount of friends I've taken trippy drugs with and thrown on LA Municipal Court and gotten the most heinous looks from 😏 they all ask after a minute how long it is, I show them and then the begging to skip it starts 🤣 not a problem I say, my work here is done
Thanks for just being honest about it instead of trying to appease us Tool fans. This song is one that had to grow on most of us over time. Only the most technically minded of reactors would pick up on a lot of the instrumental merit of this song on the first listen.
Unless you just straight up hated it, come back to it now and then and I think you'll find that somewhere along the line you started anticipating some of the riffs and melodies and before you've realized it, the song just clicks.
Hahaha that's the exact reaction I expected. The instrumentals are sooo good though..... The story is pretty funny... Took me a few years to fully like this song
Your reaction to this is exactly why I recommend this as one of the last tool songs people should listen to as new listeners. It is a really weird song, and needs multiple listens. To me I needed to get to a point of knowing what was coming musically before I could really 'get' the song as it flips about all over the place. Others have said it... Put it in the playlist and listen to it occasionally (even just in the background). Eventually you'll start singing odd lyrics and anticipating the buildup to the crescendo towards the end of the song. I couldn't stand the song when TTD came out, it's now one of my faves (even if it is frickin weird). Great reaction and thanks for the honesty 👍
Babe...you're great , and just proved to all of us again...you're real......the whole sequence is just based on a heavy acid trip.....funny as hell.......notable things though as I consider you the Bass and Drums girl....Danny absolutely kills in this song, for the Tech geeks they know he unleashes everything in this....his pads, his electronic Tabla, all his gadgets, at least a dozen different odd and impossible to figure out time changes and the entire time Justin (Bass) is right there...I always imagined them giggling as this was coming together, they have openly admitted to "substance" use periods in their career...."like that time Dave floated away" You should have been much further into your Tool Baptism before they fed you this Kool Aid.....I voted for Pushit BTW...but als, I believe this wil land with you in the future.....once again Stay you, Stay badass
Yeah, screw anyone who has expectations of your reaction. Especially for this song. I think most people have a difficult time with this the first go 'round. The sudden drop into the pace of the lyrics. The multiple stylistic choices of the band. Etc.
I will say that the payoff for this one however is really amazing once you can 'get it'. The late build and drop into "Overwhelmed" to me is one of my singular favorite moments of any Tool song.
There's just a LOT to digest, and it's not easy to get a sense of the song with only one listen.
Or maybe that's my excuse for it. LOL
Keep being you, and keeping your honesty out there. :D:D:D
Completely agree with everything you say here. I loved the drumming in the first listen, but the rest was a bit out there for me. Now, I love this song. And that drop in at “overwhelmed” is to my ears just a perfect 35 seconds of music.
I would have plenty of mates who are tool fans that just don’t love this song. Completely fine. World would be a boring place if everyone like they same shit.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the point of the song kinda seems like to overwhelm the senses of the listener. Almost give them a sense of sensory overload, leaving them to sit back with a blank stare on their face as they try and fail to process everything going on.
this was an expected reaction dont worry
This song has my favorite Maynard. That overrides the weirdness 👽
It’s all good girl. Appreciate your honesty
I've always just found this track hilarious, Tool never get enough credit for their sense of humor which you find sprinkled in all thru their discography. This one isn't meant to be analyzed just enjoyed. I think part of the reason it's so different is it was thrown together spur of the moment rather than by their normal meticulous process & you see that in the awesome musicianship as well where they just let go freely, multiple rifts, etc and seemingly all over. I do love this 1 whenever feel in the mood, but no not an every day one for me.
Everyone trying to dissect this song in their "need to know pose".
I forgot my pen! :O
@@flaccidmandingo285 what's that smell?
Lol this song is not thrown together in the slightest. This is one of Danny and Justin’s most synchronized and complex performances literally ever.
Took me a long time to get this one .. ..love the bridges everytime, can never wait for the drop at the end everytime. Its a godamn master piece Willis .
Most people seem to not like this one at first, I didn't either. But after a few listens it can grow on you. It's one of my favorite songs now. It's like it's just on a different frequency than most music, but once you hit that frequency you realize how great it is and you can't unhear it.
I can appreciate your honesty but man…! This song is epic and the essence of who TOOL is!
This one takes a few listens to really appreciate. It slowly became my favorite tool song, and I am OGT, from 93
Same. I might have skipped it for at least a year before looking forward to it.
I really enjoyed your reaction since it seemed so honest and understandable. It’s not far removed from my own when I first heard it.
I was at a Tool concert a couple weeks ago. I’m no doubt a fan but it didn’t happen overnight. Tool clicked for me when I started listening to them not only with headphones, but with undivided attention since they are a complex band to listen to with their polyrhythms and musical interludes.
I didn’t appreciate Rosetta Stoned as I currently do, when I first heard it and I ignored it for a long time before giving it a go again. After several listens it began to click and I love it now. It’s one of the songs that demos the instrumental genius of the band. Additionally, as with a lot of their more complex tunes, a single tempo is maintained throughout the song. It can be amazing to listen to them change the rhythm around the same tempo/beat throughout. Quite often the intro to songs introduce you to the tempo/beat.
As to lyrics. Maynard and his lyrics add another layer with the music being more related than typical of a lot of music. So one complements the other. Listening to Tool music without the lyrics or vice versa makes for only part of the experience. They are a very special band I gotta say.
I definitely appreciate your honesty!
🔥👽TOOL ARMY👽🔥
How is this weird but not slipknot
This a "gotta hear" that becomes a "need to hear" the more you listen to it!
If you listen to this song in the context of it being Tool's version of Alice In Wonderland, it takes on a whole different light. This song takes some time to marinade and the more you listen to it the more profound and hilarious it becomes. Sonically it's a trip, as intended but the musicianship on this song is some of their best and is world class, as is their M.O. another great and honest reaction.✌🤘🤘
I am not sure why people pushed this one on you so much at this time. Well I guess just because they know this is a unique one in the Tool catalog, I suppose they know it will illicit a strong reaction. I LOVE Tool but honestly there are so many better songs to react to from them. I really would LOVE to hear you react to Pushit, Jimmy, Bottom, Four Degrees and I CANT WAIT until you get around to the Fear Inoculum album! Love your channel Lauren and always look forward to your videos! :)
Yeah. The Tool army, which I'm part of, push the songs they've grown to love (over a LOOOOONG time of listening) rather than allowing reactors the time to build the "love of Tool foundation" that's necessary for a few of their songs. I haven't listened to Lauren's reaction to this yet, but from everything she's revealed through these videos, I can't imagine she's going to love this song. It's just too much. I can't wait until she gets into the Undertow album...she's going to love it.
@@voidwraithprime8521 This was one of least favorite when this came out but after listening a million and two times to their discography, I've learned to enjoy it a lot! So yes, you are spot on, for me at least, it took a.. it took a LOOOOOOONG of listening to really like this song
@@voidwraithprime8521 Interesting, this was like the third song I heard of theirs and was a huge reason I kept listening. Favorite right off the bat.
Everyone is different, not everyone needs time like you suggest
NAh this song beats all those you mentioned
@@voidwraithprime8521 you do realize she listened to lateralus pretty quick
Hey Lauren! Lol. We the Tool Army 100% did not expect you to like it on first listen. We love Tool reactions for the ones you do like on first listen. Most people dont like alot of Tool songs on first listen which would make Tool reactions useless except every now and then we find a tool song that draws you in a little moe. Still loveyou though😊😊
I didn't like it on first listen, but it grew on me. I figured out the story of what was happening, and it was pretty cool. Seeing it live, I was blown away. It was like sensory overload...
This song is the magnum opus of Tool. This song has everything you would want in a Tool song. Also it’s fucking hilarious
i felt the same way about the song when the album first came out. i favored vicarious; and it wasn’t close.
but at some point i had an epiphany. really. it was like the whole song changed one day while listening to the album.
like many tool songs, it can’t be fully understood or appreciated in one listen. which you know.
to me this is the pinnacle of tool. one of their best tracks. not cuz its weird, but cuz its content, musically and lyrically, is so epic and creative.
btw: your reactions are awesome. esp, when you’re honest.
You would've caught hell if you would've missed Lost Keys. Good Job!
But you are wrong. This is a NEED to hear TOOL song. Keep listening. It will grow on you.
I'm a die hard Tool fan and have always been on the fence about this song, but I do love the bridge melody.
It's a bit difficult to get into the first few times. I'm one of those guys who reads lyrics later, so I didn't get it at all until after I read the lyrics and laughed my @&& off. That said, the live presentation of it on tour that year really made the difference for me. And I think you need that live presentation on some of their tracks. It's now one of my favourite songs from 10K, but it didn't start out that way. A live performance on youtube might help...
It's just Maynard's dmt trip
Honest and pure reactions are simply the best!!! Tool is always an experience, some require multiple listens. Regardless, your tool journey had been remarkable to vicariously experience!!!
Tool stretching there legs a bit and pushing those envelops. This likely isn’t many people Favorite tool song, it is still interesting and has some really great moments. The big powerful burst of Maynard’s singing toward the end is one of my all time favorite parts in all of tools discography. Such a breath of fresh air after a rollercoaster of a song.
“Such a heavy burden now, to be the one” ….this part of the song stands the hairs up on my neck and arms every single time I hear it. And I’ve heard it hundreds of times. Same reaction. This song took some listening, but is one of my favorite tracks of all time. From any band.
I look forward to hearing this song every time it pops up on Pandora or my shuffled collection or when I seek it out. Too bad you couldn't appreciate it
I didn't get it the first time either. It's got no flow to it, but it's one of my favorites now. That bass and those drums............might be some of Justins and Dannys best work, IMO.
Always here for Tool! , and yes 1st listen on this one is tough, but glad you got through it! It would nice for you to dive into the Opiate and Undertow albums that way you could see how they started and compare where they are now...thanks for your awesome videos as always!
That part at 17:50 is one of my favourite sections of any Tool track. Where the entirety of the song leading up to this point is quite disjointed and all over the place this part has a distinct clarity to it. No doubt it's on purpose knowing these genius' and is what makes this song so incredible and unique.
The climax of the song, I agree, is one of, if not, the most moving section of any Tool songs, to me. Right there with No Quarter's "locked in place where no one goes" through the ending... It took me quite a few listens, basically besides the 2 radio tracks, to the rest of the album as well. It took a little more for Rosetta Stoned and right in 2 and now they're my 2 favorites songs off this album. Which happens to be my favorite, along with all the rest of them. Rosetta Stone sounds to me, the organized comical, chaos of reality, before the seriousness of the chaos' damage upon Descending.
@flangmasterj Yes, yes, yes, yes, ...
Lipan Conjuring is the getting "stoned" part before this. Took me about a year to like this song. Now it's one of my faves.
And I like the way you said "stuoned" in the intro. 🤩
It's always fun watching people's first impressions of this song. Then halfway through this amazing song I always wonder why I don't listen to it more often lol
Much respect for honesty!
A PERFECT CIRCLE - THE PACKAGE 😉
Tool is like panning for gold.
That graphics in the corner is dope and kinda perfect for tool too haha
to me this is one of their more experimental and interesting songs. it's like a drug trip. a lot of tool songs need multiple listens to start enjoying, but sometimes you just don't enjoy a song and that's okay too. this isn't a Tool song i'd recommend for a lot of people just because of how much is going on.
Tool army, checking in 👍
you can't properly enjoy this one without sunkist AND sudafed
Tool, weird? Yep. Thanks for the reaction
I get you on not really grooving to this. A lot of 10,000 Days had to grow on me. A lot of Fear Inoculum, too, for that matter. But nearly all my favorite Tool songs had to grow on me.
But different people groove to different things. Give the t a few more listens before you dismiss it, but if it doesn't grab you, then it doesn't grab you. Fair enough.
saw this live in 06 blew my mind took a few listens for me too really appreciate it before hand though..
You sly dog! The Linus on the pumpkin is awesome! Peanuts trilogy of "Great Pumpkin, Thanksgiving, and Christmas" have very special places in my heart. Loved them since I was a child and then when having children of my own and revisiting these videos brings so much back. I suspect it won't be long before I may be watching them again with Grandchildren. Cheers!
This is one of my favorite tracks of all time. First time I heard it I was on shrooms. I listened to it probably 10 times that night. It randomly gets stuck in my head since that night at random times.
I remember the first time I heard this I wasn’t even sure if I liked it. But now it’s my favorite tool song.
Lol! Music cats and coffee lol 😆 I love it
glad to see you check this one out i enjoyed!!
Top 3 of the Tooliest Tool songs, great reaction!
I love how you had a bottle of Sunkist on standby lmao
You definitely have valid criticisms as this is not a casual listen song. Combine that with a lack of any distinct melody and a first listen can be underwhelming, but like most Tool material it’s enjoyable to uncover the layers over time.
So, pretty much the first reaction you'd expect from a first-time listener would be "wtf did I just hear?" Most likely Tool's most chaotic song that was loosely based on an alien abduction story from a close friend of theirs.... it's much more of a conceptual story than just a formulated "rock song"
Also take in mind, the band writes all the music first and Maynard then will react, write the vocals and lyrics... so, I'm kind of curious to see the look on his face when the band handed this too him and said, "ok, here you go... sing over this!" lol
I appreciate your honesty. IMO I see it as apples and oranges....some like 1, some the other. Personally, I love this song because of it's difference from the normal structure (of even Tool songs, to say nothing of other music), the concept (aliens choosing an Area 51 crazy for our savior/their prophet), and the killer musicianship of this (and every) Tool track. Keep up the good work, I'll still keep watching :-)
Thank you for your candor
I had a similar reaction to this song at first and kind of avoided it for a while except while listening through the album. One time something finally clicked and it blew me away. I think it was just getting past the weirdness of the vocals and really focusing on the music, which is awesome.
There have been plenty of other songs over the years where I felt that way at first and then later thought, "How could I not have liked this?!" 👍 For the honesty and bonus points for the Sunkist.
This song is definitely an odd one but a lot of drummers love the drum arrangement of this track. I was hoping you would dive more into the lyrics and try to analyze the story maynard was trying to tell though :/
Yes Danny crushed it with this one!
I think it describes that 1st acid or mushrooms 🍄 experience perfect
No worries it took me years to realize the genius of this song!
This is one of my favorite songs. You have to know Tool to appreciate it
i love this song. The humor and the references to .....so many things. I can understand why people dont like this song. It is all over the place but I personally love it. Its like the band members said "hey yall remeber when Dave floated away? Lets make a song about it." lol so many references to everything. lol I love the way they pull off humor.
The drumming and guitar work on this one is pretty good. But, yea, I gotta be in the mood for Rosetta Stoned. It's not on the top 10 playlist or anything. I will say, in the context of the album, it works really well, and that's common with Tool. They have great songs, but they have really great albums.
It took me many listens to get this one, way back when, I didn't even have lyrics so I had NO clue what was going on, but that Bass and Drum orgasm in the middle with the psychodelic screetchy cat guitar just fills me every time :)
when you listen to this song enough, you’re gonna eventually pick up on the rhythms in the more hard to follow parts. when you finally do, it puts a huge smug smile on your face for having finally cracked it.
That opening tone reminds me of The Joker's theme from The Dark Knight. Makes me wonder if Hans Zimmer is a Tool fan.
Great Review as usual!! Someone else here said its a fan favorite, TOOL candy which I can agree with. However, like you said in your review there are some pretty epic moments in this song. And the Maynard gif/break is hilarious!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Love your honesty!!! Nothing beats the truth.
one of their best...and grows on you.
I think you would enjoy the live version of PUSHIT from the SALIVAL album. It's Maynard's smooth sexy persona. Maybe do back to back versions of the song.
This is one of my favorite tracks by them. Took a couple listens, it's wild!
I appreciate the honesty. It took me years to enjoy this song so I understand and respect your assessment. However, now I do crave listening to it from time to time. That bass / drums tribal breakdown is just so nasty!
It’s an different song but your brain will be begging you to listen to it in the future. It’s a lot to take in in just 1 or 2 listens…
Much respect for your honest !!! Long time tool fan and this song has an epic moment towards the end and it’s facetious…. But not one to listen to over and over….. probably the song with the lowest play count for me of their full songs. Love that you give the songs a second chance/listen.
"maynard's audition mixtape" lol its about alien abduction and thank you fpr your honest opinion. the angry mayanrd thing you put in the camera, is that a sticker?
I believe that most of the people who watch your channel (me included) watch you because you ARE genuine and honest. It's what I like about you. You're a gem in a world of lies. You're obviously an intelligent and thoughtful Human. Again, a rare thing on this planet of vacuous lesser mortals. As long as you are true to yourself, you will have true subscribers who respect your opinions and observations. Keep up the good work. 👍😎👍💙
You sure she was ready for this guys? Its definitely one you got to get accustomed to. After that it's just fucking incredible.
To Lauren: give this a listen in the future after a bit more time listening to tool. Let this first listen marinate for now.
O wow!!!! I NEVER put the peanut parent thing together like that!!?? I just thought it was a trippy thing to say!>> lol Thank u
😂😂😂
Oh man 4° is a great song as well I highly recommend and recommend when I'm high
I always loved this song for the incredible energy and power that it has. Good work out or driving song
Private Lauren. Part of being a part of the Tool Army will not always be Picking Daisies and frolicking about the meadow. You have just went through tumultuous training. Where others have failed to get through this task you however have succeeded. Congratulations you are now promoted to private first class. Dismissed.
The song tells the story of a DMT trip. The music matching the wild ride but crazy eye opening experience people have when using DMT. I don’t do drugs but the stories from people who have are fascinating. They all follow the same script and people can’t even explain what they really saw. They call it the spirit molecule.
Shit all of us in the original tool army retired with this album. It had special moments and this tracks seemed to me that it was Triad like in concept. Like a bunch of songs melded into one great instrumental and Maynard basically is fully just utility vocals like an actor in a film but it pushed the barrier. A lot of beautiful moments in this song. The lyrics are typical and funny knowing. I think it’s exactly what it was meant to be. Tool from top to bottom is one the greatest bands of all time. The talent up and down is dominate and works like a well oiled machine. This song I look at as more of a instrumental with a scat audio boot about my friend Mikey. Sounds like him. Typical
I remember being the exact same way when I heard this song for the 1st time. So uncertain and thinking it was an okay song, and now over the years as I’ve heard it more it grew on me w/ every listen. When you get to understand the storytelling of the lyrics and the amazing musicianship, this has become my favorite Tool track. Anytime I think of Tool this is one of the 1st songs to pop in my head. Maybe you’ll get into it w/ more listens or maybe you won’t and that’s okay. We’re all born w/ different personalities and tastes, that’s what makes us unique.
I think artists need to have a playful side. I like that Tool being such a serious band can drop something silly like this, now and then. 'Message from harry manback' or 'Die Eier von Satan' (which is a German cookie recipe) from Aenima were similarly goofy tracks.
This is the first song on my Tool play list when its time to clean the house. Lipan Conjuring is the first part of this trilogy before Lost Keys. My interpretation: Ayahuasca ceremony, ends up in hospital, tries to explain his experiences. This, Vicarious & Jambi were my favourites first play through. Honesty is the best policy :) prefer it over a reactor kissing ass for likes, and appreciate it more.
Looking forward to when you get to their earlier stuff. Paul was a beast on Bass too.
Thanks Lauren.
You won’t get as much flack for it as you think, it took me a while before I actually like this song, it’s the complexity of the musicianship and understanding their sense of humor that makes you enjoy it. Third Eye took me a while to get into too. Keep doing you, I’d rather someone be honest
You can't take it seriously but the music is insanely amazing. Every Tool song is an adventure. Enjoy the ride
You'll know how to react when a blue-green jackie chan walks up on you.
You'll understand.
That was physically painful when you paused it just before the epic part😩
Ikr
It's ok if you don't like it. There are two types of people. There are people who believe this song is an absolutely beautiful masterpiece and then there are people who are wrong
This is Maynard's version of rapping....!?
My first listen wasn't listening I was watching Tools sober& stinkfist vids, There awesome vids, the music came soon after. Now today it's like I'm out of my head listening to them. Last show I went to it was like...what the fuck happened I just seen my greatest band and I'm stunned,can't remember some shit but I can reminence it .what a fuckin experience....live your reaction girl. & You have a very strong likeness of a co- worker.......Are you a clone of a tool fan? Thanks for your honesty
You paused right as it was about to burst into the breakdown..coitus interruptus
I can say that this song, from first listen, was one of those TOOL songs that just spoke to me probably because of it's weirdness. It is one of my go to songs along with Vicarious, 4 degrees, and Invincible. That being said, this particular song is "advanced Tool listening" and if you are new fan, I can see why it would possibly dissuade from further listens.
I've always said that TOOL has a magnum opus song on each album since Undertow (AEnima - Third Eye, Lateralus - Lateralus, 10,000 Days - Rosetta Stoned) except for Fear Innoculum which is 6 Magnum Opuses (or Magna Opera) 3 interludes, and almost 5 minutes of Danny being Danny.
I appreciate your honesty and understand that because of the width and breadth of TOOL, not every song is for everybody. You do you sis!
