At this point, considering how much you're loving this band, you should commit to doing their whole catalog, in order. Due to events in Maynard's life, there is an over-arching narrative that will be tough to ferret out listening to the songs randomly. Keep in mind, TOOL will add things at the very end of songs. So you might want to get out of the habit of stopping them before they're done. 😁
Nbd but I’m in the top 1% of tool listeners on Spotify and you should just stfu. Let him dive deeper if the wants and if not who cares. Way better if he does it on his own vs you telling him ought to. You should know better if you actually know tool. The spirit of the songs would tell you that telling ppl how to listen is not it
“Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here”. One of the most amazing lines ever put into music. Pure poetry.
The musical interlude in the middle is like a masterful description of the human history of warfare, from primitive early man being represented by the tabla drums building to more and more fierce intensity representing our current nuclear Armageddon capabilities. At least that's the meaning I get from how they structured that musical arrangement.
Great reaction! I LOVE when Danny Carey is hurling thunderbolts from the heavens! Then brings the peace back to Earth. Beautiful, man. Let it play out…
I love the musical breakdown in the middle because it IMO represents a time machine and a musical representation of the theme of this song (and many other tool songs)... The continual erratic and misguided nature of mankind. The breakdown starts with early man (slower, peaceful, tribal) and evolves to the current state of mankind (hard, fast, loud, chaotic).
... as a life-long Tool Fan, right now you´re my daily dose of Tool-Tunes. 😊 And here and there you gave me a fresh perspective of the lyrics. Tanks and i´m here for the journey. ❣ Have a great one brother, peace ...
The song 'Intension', right before it, is about what we are (caveman). Right in Two is what we've become - stupid monkeys fighting over everthing instead of working together. Will we ever evolve?
Oh man you really should have done Intension before this one in the same video, like on the album (it leads into this song). That being said, please do Intension next. It is one of my absolute favorites and I really think it will suit you too.
Time to commit to the Tool army! You should go through the Tool discography chronologically. For me, Tool is therapy. They remind me to open my mind and heart, consider others before me. On a side note, Intention is a lead into Right into. Keep going down the Tool rabbit hole and I will be here for it!
As far as the lyrics go (Someone out there correct me if I'm wrong), Maynard writes the lyrics to fit the music either while the song is being constructed or afterward. At least that's what I gathered watching interviews, etc.
Maybe so. There's a few of them floating around. Some from his vinyard, others in studio. It gives one a good reference as to how the band works. Also, watching them live with Maynard always singing from behind, back in the shadows.
Just a friendly reminder that he doesn't actually believe in fairy tale deities and the plague of religion, he (as I) is just well-educated in the myth and what the Christians believe. He's just saying if this is what you all believe then why do you behave the way you do. And it's not just leaders who fight over land. People in general as a mass are greedy and selfish...
Angels on the sideline (angels watching what people are doing) ...from angels perspective humans are talking monkeys as they have seen creation and we are just as simple with language. It makes you think, we share 98% DNA with chimpanzees 🤷♂️
Want your mind blown? If you know the story of Lucifer, and why he was cast down, think of this song being sung by Lucifer as he observes humans ruining everything. Then consider that because of his content for humans, when God cast Lucifer to reign over Hell, EVERYTHING was then torn “right in two”. Heaven AND Hell began. Mimicking humankind itself.

Heck yeah! One of my all time faves from the masters in Tool. Glad you are checking it out.

Let it play out…
i'll definitely cry by listening to this song live in February 🥹

"jerk off live" is the best follow up to this song.

Appreciate you fam❤️💯
Words of truth. Silly apes, we all are.
New sub as soon as you recognize what a masterpiece this is!! I use this tune to intro my friends to TOOL.
Welcome to the TOOL ARMY. Keep your weapon out and belly in. Pray for rain and tidal waves, and Spiral Out my friend.
appreciate you
I love how you said this songs a masterpiece 1 second before the best power chord drop ever.
Tools music is the TRUTH

should i review some their interviews?
Maybe so. There's a few of them floating around. Some from his vinyard, others in studio. It gives one a good reference as to how the band works. Also, watching them live with Maynard always singing from behind, back in the shadows.
Great reaction
Think about Lucifer's band of angels that rose against God and were cast out, and their perception of God's creation of humans.
I like that💯
I think he is just talking about human beings in general and how shitty people can be.
Yep 💯
Love your breakdowns!
Imminence-Heaven in Hiding/Alleviate video -2 songs for the price of one
Appreciate you
Hopefully someday this song won’t seem so relevant as it does today. One day …
