Apologies for the lack of speaking throughout this video guys - as I’m sure a lot of you are aware, sometimes Tool is just better when you save your thoughts until the end and spiral out 🌀🌀
You need to check out the entire Lateralus album if you are digging on Fear Inoculum. Heck, check it all out brother. Tool doesn't make a bad song.
Can't really blame you. This is one of if not the most meditative track on the album, and it's pretty mesmerizing. The gong makes my brain go funny. Great reaction!
The best way to enjoy tool is just get lost in the moment
Brad...let go...per say. Viva la Tool
My family knows better than to interrupt a Tool song, I'll start it over if they disrespect it so.lol
Pneuma and Descending are the best 2 tracks on the album in my opinion. Some of the best songs they've done period.
The last 4-5 minutes of Descending might be my favourite moment on the entire album!!
You think the last 4-5mins of Descending is their best work? Are you serious? Have you got an ear wax problem? Have you not heard the first 5 minutes of Descending?
I'm just kidding about you not being sane to think the last 5 minutes are that amazing by the way lol...it sure is my friend, but it'll always come second to the first 5 mins (maybe a bit longer) of Descending for me! That whole section from just after the waves are traded in for the instruments right up until Maynard first sounds the...powerful but terrifying....dread alarm and finally calls us ALL to arms in order for the third...most epic...and final time...what can I say really?
...I don't think I have the vocabulary required to explain how much that shit hits me like a brick...it's like trying to explain a black hole to a 3 year old lol, words are pointless, just let them feel the power for themselves!
...nothing more needs to be said really, just listen to it, close your eyes, turn off your phone, remove all distractions, and finally just trust that...YES! YOUR EARS ARE NOT DECEIVING YOU! THIS REALLY IS AS GOOD AS YOU THINK IT IS!!
THIS EXACTLY. Its insane that Descending is the second best song on this album, because if Pneuma didn't exist, Descending would be the best Tool song ever made.
@@Jamie_Wilson What about the middle 5 mins?! Jesus Christ people... 😂😂
♫♪ Risssssseeeee
Stay the grand finale ♪♫♪ Stay the reading of our swan song and epilogue ♪♫
I didn't give Descending much a chance at first. I had a hard time getting past Invincible & would put it back to Pneuma. In my order of love, Descending, Pneuma, 7empest, Culling Voices then Invincible and on repeat. 🤘🤘
@@VegasJPH Yeah... Pretty fucking awesome too come to think of it lol
The reason we are talking about the first 5 mins or the last 5 mins is that they are similar but very different sections. The lyrics are finished by the midway mark pretty much, and then the outro is exclusively a (damn amazing) instrumental section. Your "middle 5" kinda crosses both which is pretty great.
Joking aside, that whole song is an epic masterpiece...even the 2 minute beach ambience intro rocks
Every time that gong hit happens I get goosebumps and I've listened to this track close to 100 times.
James Pugh Every damn time!! Not gonna lie...I got a little misty eyed the first time I listened to the studio version of this at that particular part...powerful stuff!!
It’s a pure hit of dmt😊👌
Same!
I didn't think super highly of this track at first, but it has grown into my favorite next to Fear Inoculum. The message of this song is powerful. Took me many listens to finally get around to hearing every word and listening to everything together... And yeah, it had me on the verge of tears. Maynard's most passionate singing on the album IMO.
Oh this track is a fucking tear jerker for sure.
Agree completely. It makes me emotional but in a hopeful, heart-filling and resolute way...
Spot on!! Just a powerful song musically and emotionally!
This is currently my fav from this album, but I do love them all. This one just matches my own vibe the most
Culling Voices is AMAZINGLY UNDER APPRECIATED
I have to agree... Vocals = amazing, buildup = amazing, instruments = as per usual AMAZING!
AMAZING drop
My personal favorite track.
I agree. Culling voices is amazing. It's just not as much of a banger as some of the others so it gets less love.
Agreed
Now you have Culling Voices to listen to. MJK’s voice is absolutely amazing.
The greatest disappointment in life is when a Tool song ends.
No, when it is interrupted by Mum.......... then and add break..............
Second greatest. The first is when you see them live and realise they've just finished the last song of the show.
Eh, all of them end fittingly and somehow manage to not overstay their welcome
Hearing this song in concert was just... indescribable.
It was amazing.. saw it in Sydney..
I was surprised that this song ended up as my fav song off of this album and actually one of my top 5 TOOL songs of all time. When that bass comes in at 12:00 of the video is so fckn epic.
All of Tool's albums end with these long songs or groups of songs, that are pure masterpieces. (Disgustipated from Undertow, Third Eye on Aenima, Lateralus/Disposition/Reflection/Triad on Lateralus, and Intension/Right In Two from 10,000 Days) These are the songs I find myself coming back to time and again over the years, and I think they all fall under the term you cleverly coined as "Euphoric Metal". (Well, maybe Disgutipated is a slightly different "Animal".) All of Fear Inoculum follows the mold of these songs, and I am so glad for that. But I can see where folks that are only getting introduced to Tool might think all the songs on Fear Inoculum start to sound alike. I recommend you take a break from all these complex hypnotizing songs and have a little party listening to Chocolate Chip Trip, and maybe some hard and dark tracks from earlier albums, before tackling Culling Voices. As one of the other commenters mentioned Culling Voices is definitely under appreciated, and though it fits solidly in with the rest of the amazing songs on this album, but it's probably one of the slowest growers ever. Anyway, great reaction here to Descending. Thanks for another great video!
The mid section of Culling Voices reminds me of the Stone Tower Temple theme song in Zelda Majora's Mask
Great reaction and honest well thought out response as always man!
You're right about it being a grower for many, I absolutely love this song and you're going to find out that that accidental interruption by someone in your house there came right in the best part of the song (at least melodically).
When you really hear that section again properly you'll love it!
Keep 'em coming dude!
bretto40 yeah talk about bad timing!! Hahah, it’s all good, he’s gonna Jan this driving down the road I’m sure..I know I do.
I don't know why but when i first listened to tool cuz i heard of them from a fucking whang video of all things (i think it was the music video of Parabol+Parabola) it kind of didn't click, i was used to faster shit at the time and basically all of Parabol didn't help, although thanks to fucking Jerma (the MythBusters game stream where he sung "i know the pieces fit" and basically said that if he was high and watching tool music videos he would be horrified) he made me listen to Schism and now they're probably my favorite band of all time, along with Jerma being my favorite funny guy that is somehow 37
Another great reaction. I was wondering if you're going to react to some of their earlier stuff again now this album is pretty much done. If so I would recommend The Pot. I really think you'll like it. I could see you appreciating Tool's odd sound signatures this video too which was cool😊
Scott Mackie of course man, can’t wait to delve deeper 🌀🌀
You gotta listen to Wings for Marie pts. 1 and 2! (from the album 10,000 Days)
Research it first please, and I recommend checking out Jimmy first, the APC Judith, and finally Wings 1 & 2. It shows Maynards progression through the ordeal. Please research, then react. It is damn near life altering in a sense. You'll thank us for it! Lol!
I appreciate you showing Justin some love
Love the tool vids man my favorite band hopefully you get to the patient one of my faves
Easily one of their most underrated songs & a personal favorite 🤘🔥
also one of my favorites, hoping we’ll get it once the last few on this album are completed
You should listen to Bottom, and H. so underrated, but awesome, I love those tracks
I’ve heard a lot of praise for these songs from anyone who knows what they’re talking about (and, really, who else matters in this context?)
Nate Prouty Bottom and H is a top Tool track for me.
Michael Sprague not a thing wrong with that!
Bottom is a good one :)
Ever since I caught your reactions to the new album, I've been waiting for this one. After listening several times, this is my favorite track on the album. There's something very affecting about it, more so than the others. Might be personal reasons. But damn, the progression is just...ecstasy. No better way to describe it.
Yeah, first listen to both Invincible and Descending, I like Invincible a lot more. Now after hearing the album for about a month now, Descending is the best song on the album and one of the best Tool songs period. Its defiantly a grower but grow it does. Such beautiful and haunting song!
Fear Inoculum is the album of 2010-2019. A masterpiece.
Album of the decade😆
@@MidnightTheOne yeah they had to pump one out at least for each decade, hopefully they do it for this one too
This track has become my favorite all-time...
This is one of my favorite songs in general right now. It's like looking at a beautiful optical illusion that takes a few tries to see the image inside, and once you do all you want to do is show it to everyone else...but not everyone sees that picture within...but once you see it you can never unsee it.
Deep
@@nathanieljackson2195 I may have dabbed a bit before writing that...
Please Continue with the TOOL reactions after you complete this new Album !!! Thanks dude :))
Explore NC with pleasure.
@@DrewFortune97 We appreciate the videos , thanks dude !!
Adam goes ham on this track.
Agree. Descending was not my fave. Every listen gets better. Now definitely my fave on the album now. The lyrics really add to the emotion too.
To me this album is a Requiem a tribute/Anthem of The bands life as they exist in this day and age. An the progression of all of us and them. Throughout this last decade. It's a brilliant story. And listening to this album numerous times since it dropped.. It still brings me to tears. It never stops that feeling of onesness, understanding a sense of greatness .. The Trips that Tool have took us all on since their very first album. Has been an exciting journey. And such a wonderful musical trilogy. "The terrible and fantastic story of all of our survival" Musically transcribed for our souls. Danny, Maynard, Adam and Justin bring it with intensity.. Couldn't have asked for more. "Musical Masterpiece" Would love to see a full action movie to the soundtrack of Tool's full discography. If the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Metallica why not Tool. Adam,Maynard & Alex Grey doing the artwork Omg I can only imagine..
I love the underwater Beatlesque vocal effects… Maynard’s voice never fails to deliver. ❤️🔥
Please react to Flesh and the power it holds by Death
Around the 3:30 mark, I hear the clap sound that is at the start of Fear Inoculum. Just a little detail I noticed
This whole album is interwoven. There's little Easter eggs planted throughout.
@@randygarbrecht3185 Yeah, Invincible has 2 Ænema touches in my opinion, the guitar at 3:15 and the end, time signature of the drums is similar in both
From this album Culling Voices
Also you need to check out Pushit (Salvia version) and Third Eye (Salvia version) two of the greatest songs of all time.
Side note I just discovered your channel and subscribed. You're quickly becoming my favorite tool reaction channel!
Dont worry about not speaking throughout track Drew, I believe it's better to listen and then describe thought. If you keep stopping track it messes with your flow of emotions throughout the song. Great job man!
Descending and Pneuma are my favourite songs from the album two beautiful songs in my opinion.
Currently my all-time favorite song by any band. It’s even more amazing life
That finale!!! 😮😮😮😮😮❤️🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
It grew on me too. So much that it’s now my FI favorite! Love the reviews!
I agree bro, some songs just sound kinda different for whatever reason. When you hear Culling Voices-it’s really something special ...maybe the coolest song I’ve heard in long time 🤘🤘
Tool - Vicarious
A Perfect Circle - Passive
Puscifer - Trekka (Spaghetti Mix)
7:57 - the moment the vocals drop out and that guitar/bass/drum riff begins pounding is one of the best musical moments I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. This is my favorite track on the album.
And then the transition at 10:35 carries the rest of the track with such wonderful, manic energy, beginning with that marching rhythm. Such joy.
Danny Carey has to be the cleanest drummer in the game man
This one is growing on me with each listen!
been waiting for this one Drew , I absolutely love this song
I personally feel this is the most balanced song on the album. Each part feels so complete and ties into not just the lyrics perfectly but practically tells a story on it's own especially when Adam Jones start to light it up on the back half, and the finish is so satisfying!
you interrupted the absolute best part of the song... that verse needs to be heard uninterrupted.
Watched your reaction 2 years ago, great stuff , massive album 💿. Keep up the good work from a fellow Dub. ! 😜
The effects on the guitar you were talking about are created with a wah pedal, Kirk Hammett’s favorite hehe
Descending underwater? Learn to swim!
I see what you did there!
"Descending down trippy spiral" may be one of the most accurate assessments of tool that I have ever heard. Lol
You will soon find that Descending is the best track on the album.
Maynard's most passionate performance (on the album) IMO. Once you get the message everything about it comes together as an amazing almost cinematic experience.
Pnuema
Pneuma is my second.
I agree, it is my favorite. I can't stop listening to this specific track.
I feel this is the only song that has a new TOOL sound, imo. I can hear where everything else would have fit on certain albums but this track sounds new.
That’s normal . Their stuff is a lot to take in. You pick up little things with every listen, and when it clicks it’s glorious
Awesome to see you listening to your viewers man!! I never watch these types of videos and I love your channel so props! Keep spiraling out my friend!
Just do all Tool.
disposition, reflection, triad! all 3 in that order. you're ready my child
can't wait until he reaches rosetta stoned as well ! that one's crazy
You don't need to be hyped to display appreciation for good tunes bro. It's more of a chill track so a chill reaction is normal..
I wouldn't bother reacting to the segue tracks. They aren't full songs just trippy interludes. Tool always peppers them into their albums for pacing purposes, as the albums are generally layed out to be listened to as a single peice of art.
Come one, come all! Place your bets for how many tasty riffs Adam Jones can fit into one song! Bonus points for predicting the number and length of his jaw dropping solos!
Mate, you have got to do Culling voices next, best built up ever from these guys. Even me after so many years listening to Tool didn’t expect this song to ever reach that epic ness when I first started listening to it.
culling voices reminded me of 10000 days and disposition, one of their best calm melodic songs to be fair
Alot of Tool songs have to have time to grow on you, you like them at first but they become amazing the longer you give 'em. They're grow-ers not show-ers. Lol
I saw many video about Descending reactions. Because my personal reaction has been to drop some tear at 12:00. There's something in that point that set my mind free.
Drew, wanted to come back to this one and see if it's grown on you. :) It's pretty damn relevant for what we're going through today. It's also good to revisit Tool from time to time just to remind yourself how amazing they are. Adam's guitar tone and effects on this song are a precious gift to humanity.
Tool - H.W.A.P.
This mans life has been changed. It is black and white from his first Tool reaction video. He is calm and patient, and at arms and order.
I listen to tool my whole life and this song is amazing!
New Tool, AND, a new Jinjer record less than 2 months apart? Christmas came early this year!
New Leprous in October too!
Love Adam in this track, so innovative with his guitar effects like the Wah pedal and even sound like he's using a slide at one section.
Still a great reaction, love your videos, nicely done, have a great day Drew, love from Juárez, chihuahua, México
This song has a "reflection" vibe.
I fucking love this song.
It came on while I was out running, it’s got a really good cadence to it and with the building intensity it gets me hyped to keep going and push harder.
Listen Live Descending, Florida. The guitar is even better wide open and not mastered. The crescendo is more impactfull with the gong smash ect. Live version seems better imo.
Aaaahhh I'm so excited for the show next month. 😍😍😍
The last 4 minutes are just epic
Man!what a guitar solo. All of it, of course. 10,000 days Will blow your mind. Happy for you that you have that ahead of you. Finish Aenima first Man
Aeroplane Rock. Gets ready for take off, then takes off and then lands.
maybe an album review of Fear Inoculum after listening to the full length album? the two remaining that arent necessarilly filler are Culling Voices and Chocolate Chip Trip
You enjoy this song over a fine glass of wine......
Invincible is in my top five perpetually
That 9min mark - the end of the song Is just insane. Nothing like it.
I first listened to the grudge with you and now descending, some changes you made in a month :)
Someone snapped you eargasming with your Tool
Now go listen to it in your car. Unlike most Tool albums headphones don't do it justice. Like It was made for the car. Especially this song
Either you got shitty headphones or a dope ass car system.
@@theseabast6515 he's got shitty headphones for sure
I know this isn't pertinent to this video, but I would like to see you
react to A Perfect Circle's - 'Brena'. Some of Maynards best vocals in
my opinion. Probably the album version.
Loving your reactions as always Drew my man, keep hammering out the great content. Only disagreement I may have with ya is my vote for album of the year would go with Slipknot’s “WANYK”. I like the new TOOL stuff but I just feel like they getting a bit of extra because of the 13 year hype they built up. LoL, just my .02 though. Love the channel brother can’t wait for the next video.
You need to start at the beginning with some songs off of Opiate and Undertow so you can truly appreciate the progression of the band. I’m not sure how I would feel about this new album if it were my first exposure to TOOL.
my favorite along with Pnuema
Completely agree on Descending being a grower and Invincible being instantly likable. Culling Voices was another immediate like for me.
check out all the songs btw
Hey Drew, some of your Reactions popped up about six months ago and I have to admit, I felt that your listening skills were undeveloped. Not trying to be rude, just truthful. So I ignored subsequent offerings.
Today, your Fear Inoculum Reaction popped up, and I thought, "okay let's see where he is now."
You've come a long way, sir! I watched all of your TOOL Reactions back-to-back, and I'll definitely be following along on your TOOL journey. Welcome to the, TOOL Army! 🤘🏼🔥🤘🏼🔥
In my opinion, when one considers the compositional complexity, virtuosic skill, and the often profound and/or esoteric nature of the lyrics much of Metal, and TOOL in particular, is the modern equivalent of Classical Music.
I don't mean to come off as a tosser, but then my wife doesn't call me a music snob for nothing, I guess.
In case you didn't know Maynard wore the swat uniform because he was waiting for the fans to rush the stage because of how long we went without a TOOL album!
I love metal. Love it. But my second love is gangster rap and early nineties hip hop. One song that doesn’t get anywhere near enough love is Hip Hop by Dead Prez. Completely different sound than today’s rap scene.
Gay rap
Steve Gomez
Is that a new subgenera?
Danny is so great at what he does that he basically woke up one day and decided to play and entire album off beat and it's going to sound fucking amazing!🤘
I literally ache for more Maynard in this song. But he said what needed to be said. I think this song is about climate change tbh.
Lol no.
Culling voices is slept on to hard it's an amazing song.
“Our swan song and epilogue!” Of all parts to get messed up?! 7:14 man......
No shit man! That fucked my whole ju-ju
a few months later... what are your thoughts on this now? Did it end up growing on you? Was it ever your 'current favorite'?
Could you please do TOOL-3RD EYE....It will take you on a journey....and it is heavy at times as well!!!!!! TOOL ARMY is here for you brother!!!
You gain one more suscriber I Hope you put more TOOL!!! In your channel!!!
Even better Jambi and roseta stoned
Proud to be the 101st like!
You get the best ones, than you get TOOL: The gap between is so overwhelmingly surreal
I know this is a lot of people’s favorite TθθL song. It’s not mine, but… I get it.
Suggestions, as promised in chat. Couple of Irish, couple of Nightwish...
If you're still interested in Nightwish (Floor has gone viral on a Dutch TV show very recently BTW) :
Song of Myself @ Wacken 2013 (heavy, with a couple of great breakdowns)
czcams.com/video/lQu5QjidHWg/video.html
I Want My Tears Back from the same concert (wild and fun folky metal featuring the Irish uileann pipes)
czcams.com/video/ga-hR7CYbwQ/video.html
Other bands, both Irish:
Primordial - Where Greater Men Have Fallen (extreme metal band from Dublin)
czcams.com/video/472Qh4l1pFU/video.html
God is an Astronaut - Suicide by Star (three piece instrumental prog metal band from Wicklow)
czcams.com/video/fZltd_nz2ag/video.html
🤟🏻
NW army are asleep I guess 😕😅
There's only 2 left on the album plus an instrumental that's pretty short. So by all means react away. But I'd love to see your reaction to songs on their first album Opiate. Much harder and the songs are a lot shorter. This was before they went prog. 😊

DESCENDING is my favorite track on Fear inoculum
Mine is Pneuma
