0:30 Fear Inoculum
11:00 Pneuma
23:07 Linanie Contre La Peur
Found a cool trick to amp up the sound of Fear Inoculum. Sounds like classic Tool now with much more slam and authority, and Maynard comes though with more presence. Just speed up in Audacity from 15% to 25% using the "Speed/Duration" function.
Guitar with an ebo wha and talkbox ..adam Jones is an innovator like Hendrix and morello
Drums are insane in this song
@@elevatemindset I have the hard copy. Lol
Pneuma is the best song I have heard for a long time.
My favourite is culling voice, i love it♡
This fucking song..... Best new song I've heard in years. No contest. This shit is Pink Floyd level.
@@chaost4544 Aint that the truth, and I was not expecting that to happend, like, NEVER
Have you even made it to invincible yet? Lol
@@RedPillMode I expect great stuff from Tool but damn... they dropped that.
Btw people. This dude aint awkward or odd. He is a REAL dude. He is unique, expresses his true feelings, and lets his true self flow. He doesnt wear a mask or let fear of what people may think of him an try to steralize himself to look "Cool". HE IS RIDING THE SPIRAL AND LOVING IT.
Well said Conner. Jim is my favorite too. Spiral out!
Weird in what way? He's English and a gentleman. That's weird? F off. Love you Jim!!
His music knowledge has depth... he doesn't just give us stank face and reiterate what any novice could tell you. Perfect example is very first double sizzle on the high hat he reacts to. Dude just hears it. IF WANTING SOME IN DEPTH REACTION & KNOWLEDGE SUPPORT JIM!
@@rubaidaallen2764 Bro stop calling him weird, nobody said that.
Great observation
After listening to the album 4 times, I've changed my favorite song on the album 4 times.
Same xD
@Jimmybob Jimsauce Culling Voices is underrated af.
Fear Inoculum, Pneuma, 7empest...
To: Invincible, Pneuma, Culling Voices...
To: Pneuma, Invincible, Decending...
To: Pneuma, Fear Inoculum, Invincible...
To: Fear Inoculum, Invincible, 7empest...
and it just keeps changing....
My personal favourites are the first 3 (fear inoculum, pneuma and invincible) and still can't decide which one's the best. Got a bit disappointed with 7empest at first, because all the music critics were saying it was one of the best things Tool has ever made (some of them even comparing it to Third Eye). I think it's great but not comparable to Third Eye... Descending and Culling voices are great, and Chocolate Chip Trip is an interesting experiment.
I think descending is my favorite track on the album c:
I wish I had more friends that were into Tool as I am😩😩
Oh, poor you.. Pretty much all of my friends are Tool fans. My girlfriend plays bass and keys in a band that plays many of their tunes. Guess I'm a lucky guy! :)
Why do I have such an addiction to TOOL reaction videos??? It’s escalated considerably over the last couple of days. 😂
Jim, must say, yours are my favorite of all of them.
I enjoy being able to listen with the person reacting, and seeing everyone's different reactions to the songs
I have too lol, this is the musical representation of the second coming of Christ, Tool has returned to save the truly faithful, to then defeat the anti christ Taylor and finally cast her and all her followers back into the lake of fire for all eternity. Afterwords Tool will sit again on the throne with their faithful flock and thus will begin Tool's 5000 year reign on of peace and happiness on earth!
😂😂
Lost in Vegas is a good one too :)
I'm always watching them. I f'n love watching people's reaction to hearing Tool for the 1st time especially. The looks on their faces are like 😳😳😳 so funny. I have been a fan for 27 years and man, I still do that face sometimes.
I'm so glad you did the whole album review.....you are such a good reaction artist. TOOL ARMY is here 4 u
Jared Roderick reaction artist? Lmao
@@blackened1593 hell yah....that shit is an art man
I've listened to the album at least 6 times already, but I'm excited to be sharing a first listen with you!
@coitinsforyourocky Yes! The whole damn album is amazing, but 7empist is epic!!!! As Jim said about Fear Inoculum, it gets better everytime you listen to it, and I'd say that will be the case for a long time. Danny Carey is a freaking 8 armed alien and Adam Jones has taken his playing to a completely new level on this album. After 13 years of anticipation, it has more than lived up to the hype for me.
I can't wait to see this in concert in October!!!!
Pneuma and 7empest should be spoken of with equal reverence as are Stairway To Heaven and Kashmir.
TOOL ARMY GET THE WORD OUT!!
Frankly Kashmir doesn't deserve to be in the running.
@@harmstrongg Bad take. Kashmir is the superior of the four songs listed.
@@harmstrongg Kashmir is one of the best rock songs written.
@@andrewelam4124 Kashmir is one of the most overrated rock songs ever. Call it a bad take if you want, opinions are like assholes.
still put descending above both
This album takes music to an unprecedented level, it has beautifulness, balls, incredible mastering...
I was afraid after 13 years I would expect too much out of this album and not like it like I love Lateralus. I was wrong, it's everything I hoped!
I love it, but I tend to agree that Maynard at least is a little lethargic sounding, it seems like a stylistic decision he made on this one to stay between like, 2 & 6 in intensity, while the rest of the band goes everywhere from 0 to 10 throughout. He used new vocal textures and tones, some effects and layering/harmony in some parts which sounded great, but it would have been the icing on the cake if Maynard had belted it out a few times, not screaming like T & L, but those long sustained yells where he matches the pitch of the guitar in perfect unison, like the end of Vicarious. That would have been great, but I love it anyways, IMO this is the best album to come out since 10,000 Days, in all of music.
A lot of people on my timeline are hating on the album and I just absolutely love it
There are a lot of shallow listeners out there that expect Tool to give them something easy to listen to and get into. They want Maynard to scream and Danny Carey to do blast beats, and Adam Jones to shred. They don't want to accept that Tool are not like that, and that their music takes some patience to hear all the details. Fuck those people, they are the ones missing out.
@@ThisisStephennn it's a new Tool album - that even happened with Lateralus (prog shite, not real Tool, etc.), hell, people though 10k wasn't even real. I actually think this has been received better by the fanbase immediately than the last 2. The opinion always gets more positive over time.
It's a brilliant album...will go down as a classic
Although I miss Maynard’s screams I have to say his performance on this album might be his best on a Tool album.
I am convinced that Danny Carey is an extraterrestrial being put on this earth to let everyone know the true possibilities of the percussive world.
and maynard was supposed to be our prophet but he forgot his pen.
Im gonna listen to Descending for the rest of my life
@justa guy grudge is indeed amazing!
The grudge is my favorite on lateralus and descending is my favorites on this
But this changes every listen 😆
@@vaevictis_ yep
Descending is hands down THE CROWN JEWEL on Fear Inoculum. The most beautiful song. Don't get me wrong, I love the album. It is stellar. But Descending is my jam. Stunning!!!!!
"the" riff in pneuma is the heaviest piece of music in years
This was a god damn instant subscribe. Pneuma has to be one of the best produced songs in twenty god damn years. Am I wrong?
Chaos Thierry there is a hidden “as below, so above and beyond, I imagine” reference in Pneuma I’ve discovered. well maybe not specifically referencing that lyric, but that idea. we’re bound to this flesh but must “reach out beyond”.
at 12:12 in this video do you hear the white noise, or subtle oscillation / pulsing you hear just before Justin comes in with the opening riff? well from about 3 and a half minutes in (14:21) to around 5 minutes (16:03) there’s ultrasonic frequencies present in the 24bit 96kHz release. see here: imgur.com/a/hqfhzcl
if you transpose the frequencies down enough to get that audible, you can hear this: www.mediafire.com/folder/hyjjakun418zv
as I said it goes from 3 and half minutes throughout the (Spirit) section and it ends just as Maynard says “bound to this flesh”
probably just an Easter egg or something. those oscillating tones aren’t tied to any one instrument or effect, and it’s not a watermark as it’s the only song I’ve looked at in audacity and seen such behavior.
@@WitzyZed it's way way this deep. Yet deeper. A spell was cast. Witnessed and experienced this incantation on Halloween. 10/31/2019. Spellbound still...
certtainly in 13 years
Pneuma is one of the best songs I have heard from any band period. It is a masterpiece
The production's dynamic...obviously you don't expect any less from TooL, but this is might be their best sounding album to date. Something about the bass and Danny's percussion is textured and delicious.
Pneuma isint just one of the best Tool songs ive heard its one of the best songs ive heard period. The breadth and scope Tool go in their songs is unprecedented. Its so refreshing
Daniel Plunkett absolutely, I know I should listen to more of the album BUT I keep getting stuck on Pneuma!!!
@@RyanMovingViolationz I can't just listen to single songs with Tool. I *have* to play an album from beginning to end. It's a journey.
You can now hear it live 😉
@@timfarrow1545 they play it live flawlessly too
I agree the title track "Fear Inoculum" gets better with every listen. When I first heard it I wasent sure what I thought about it then I listened to the whole album and along with all the other breath taking masterpieces on this album it is truly an amazing song that I now love to listen to! In it's entirety this album reached beyond any expectations I had concerning it's beauty and impact as it all drifts into my ears and sinks into my spirit. I'm glad you are enjoying it along with us all. Great reaction!
Fear Innoculun makes me go Super Saiyan like 4 times.
Yes Jim!!! Your reactions are my favorite because you understand the concepts and musical timing patterns of this band. Watching now.
I wish more people were like you. You have humility, curiosity, introspection, and a unique personality. Traits that in our current cultures state are seen as weak innately. You might be a bit awkward or odd but at least you’re not fake like half these reaction youtubers.
Awkward and odd..... that's me!!! Hahah :)
Jim Newstead I had a feeling you’d “grab onto that” 😁
Jim Newstead haha NO! Not awkward or Odd. Your unique and different and let your true feelings come out and dont try to hide it or mask it or worry about what people will think. You are a real dude PERIOD and dont ever change.
Connor Phebus lmao the words are all synonyms. He wasn’t offended by what I said nor was it rude in that context. No need to act like that.
Foot Slave no need to act like that? I was speaking directly to him an told him he wasnt awkward or odd but a uniqie and real dude. Didnt mean to trigger.
This album has been the biggest grower out of everything tool has ever done. With that said, this gets more and more complex with every listen, very rewarding. Descending is currently my favorite, masterpiece. Love your channel 🙂 keep being you. Have a great day
So weird because for me (even since opiate) this album as a full project and everything about it has been the easiest for me to digest and grasp. I love it
Stephen Thompson that’s really interesting, the easiest for me to digest the easiest has been Ænima but that’s simply because some of it was more radio friendly lol and there was a lot more singing and shorter songs therefore making it more accessible to me. This new album is fantastic but with less Maynard it took me more time to appreciate, he isn’t as prominent as I would like but it’s still fantastic for what it is
@@jeffem8552 the night it came out I put on headphones and listened twice in a row. Everytime I hear it it gets better and better. But I also liked the new a perfect circle album and people gave me crap for that too
Yea, I found that this album required more patience than all the others to fall in love with. But when I fell, I fell hard as fuck .
Matti Suffron yes same here, the order I rate it now is 5.opiate 4.undertow 3.10,000 days 2.lateralus/fear inoculum 1.aenima. It’s just soo mature ...intimidating composition with the melody being as powerful and cathartic as anything they ever released. The more it sits with me I might rank it higher but for now Ænima still takes it as overall package
Jim, you are making me very happy :) liked, commented, and now I am going to experience this masterpiece (again) with you. What a day.
Culling Voices is my favourite song on the album. Such a beautiful arrangement
Last 3 or so minutes is the best 😎
Agreed...so far
Oh btw, Pneuma and Invincible might be my favourite tool songs of all time. And ofc choclate chip trip is fun as a drummer xD
I've listened to this masterpiece for two days straight . Unparalleled musicians, totally unique sound was worth the 13 year wait. What can you say about this incredible music , no other band even comes close. Long live the GOAT.
Master piece of shit.
no one comes close? you should listen to devin townsend catalogue
You guys can't handle an opinion? Nothing comes close for him. When anyone says anything assume it subjective if you do not agree.
@@TrulyStucker Yeah, no. Townsend is good but these guys are on another level. The only band that comes close is King Crimson for me.
Danny Carey is absolutely GIGANTIC on this entire album! What a great album from all the boys!
I love when tool brings out Jim’s finger percussions / pepper and salt seasoning movement at 12:52.
The litany against fear comes from the book Dune by Frank Herbert, my favorite read besides East of Eden. It goes like this;
"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
I knew I had heard that title before, couldn't pinpoint it. Thanks for the heads-up.
Props to you man. I've followed your videos over the last year, and I wish I could be in my 30's and 40's and be discovering Tool new. As you say - each piece just gets better and better as you hear it.
I've been listening to them since I was a teenager - then your age too - and I still find bits and pieces that blow me away, but not like it will be blowing you away. Soooo jealous.
This is a magnificent album. And you're a lucky bastard.
That distinctive chord progression on Justin Chancellor's bass in the intro. Classic Tool!!
I love how all those little emotional tingles are visible in your face expression! That's how one should listen to this kind of music: Open all channels and rrreeeaally let it flow through you! 🌀
Keep it up, brother!! 😊🙏🖤
I've been listening to this album since yesterday, obviously, and I think it sounds exactly how it should sound - Tool! But I've been just waiting, when the social media piles up with people complaining how "they really haven't changed at all" or how "they've changed too much". People just are like that.
After 13 years, there's absolute zero chance of impressing everyone. Every band has a peak and sweet spot and for Tool it was clearly during Aenima and Lateralus. I never expected this album to surpass that, but be a really strong late stage entry, possibly their last album considering how long it took. And considering that, I think it's rather fantastic. I actually like it more than 10,000 Days, so that's a pretty big statement (although I don't resonate with the dark tone as much as I do with the optimistic one of Fear Inoculum).
My problem is that it has too much random studio jamming for an album 13 years later
With Lateralus every single moment felt precise and perfect and yeah, you can't replicate that but I just feel like this album broke no new ground, where even 10,000 Days did, where every album has shown growth, this just shows age - Pneuma is an amazing track and one of their best songs I think ever but this is easily their weakest album in comparison to the discography
those people who dont hear much change in the sound probably dont know what they are listening to. I hear many new elements to the music and many others have commented the same.
@@JungleScene name 3
Danny Carey is a monster.
Every drum beat is perfection in every song. Best drumming EVER!! 🥁 he definitely is drumming from a different realm
58 year old monster!
'beast' monster refers to sub human. He is uber thus beast is more applicable.
What makes him so good is his ability to do JUST ENOUGH. His drumming is so tasteful. He doesn’t rely on modern metal drumming gimmicks. He’s more of a Bozzio style drummer. He treats the drums as a percussion section amongst the ensemble. Too many metal drummers write parts they are clearly using only to impress other drummers with. One of my favorite aspects of Danny’s playing is his ability to serve the song and not his ego
This album is the textbook definition of perfect, even the weird experimental soundbeds!
Love the whole album! The songs really need to grow on you tho, i wasnt that 'satisfied' after the first listen but now i'm blown away, love it love it love it
It definitely needs to marinate in your brain. I wasn't a big fan of the title song at first but it grew on me. The rest of the album I liked right of the bat. I don't see a song that I would skip. Lateralis is their only other album that I can say that.
@@sablemae8853 agreed! My experience of the title song was the same and since i saw descending, CCtrip and invincible live i liked them off the bat... now that i think of it the part i wasnt sure of was one part in Culling Voices... but the album is perfect, pure magic
sable mae I was kinda the opposite. I felt like a lot of the tracks sounded too similar a lot of the time on the first listen.
@@Moneyman-33 has is changed for you? Did the songs develop their identity?
hated pneuma at first, couldnt understand the time signatures and beat to the first verse with maynard singing hahaha
tomorrow will be 1 year since we did this together, how about a re-visiting album listen Jim?
cheers!
I can’t believe you uploaded all these at the same time. Right on Jim 🤘🤘
I was SOOOOO hoping he will do an entire album! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Headphones - lean back - close your eyes - empty your mind - THEN feel how Pneuma takes control over your breath!
Jimmy Dinsen-Hansen exactly what I was doing before I scrolled through comments! What an experience.
I can't seem to have enough Pneuma. Absolute gem, my favourite by far.
A friend brought over the disc last night. Needless to say the packaging is another masterpiece. Looks like the video inside may be the fear inoculum music video to come (?). They sure seemed to follow each other as we experienced the album first time through anyway. Happy day after release, feels like Christmas to some of us who have been following the band awhile! Thanks for posting Jim, second time through is with you pal. Bloody hell is right!
Bloody bloody hell is right Jim! As soon as I heard Pneuma I knew that after a few listens that song would sit comfortably in my Tool Top 5
The first time I heard this song I was so disappointed. I mean heartbroken. Didn’t even finish the track. At the advice of a good friend to give it another try I took some alone time and listened to the entire album without stopping with good headphones.
Now I’m absolutely blown away. It’s such a slow burn type album with elements of minimalism that are better executed than ever before. It absolutely shows their maturity after such a long career. I’m just in love with all 6 songs. The tones especially on guitar are some of the best I’ve heard on any album. The sort of square wave fuzz he has going in the title track is so cool
Gotta admit. First time i heard Pneuma's bassline... i cried
Was hoping you'd get to a full album reaction/review! Thanks Jim!
Brilliant release!
Yessss! So glad you did this! 🤘🏼😁🤘🏼
Jim. You are the man - I’m about 24 hours (1-2 laps through the album) ahead of you, watching your reaction is akin to experiencing again for the first time, but with more depth, and with a friend who enjoys TOOL like I do.
I feel like Danny is at his peak in this album, with Adam and Justin showing strong, but Maynard seems a little out to lunch. Culling Voices is beautiful and I think his voice is amazing, but definitely lacking the edge I’ve heard in every album prior to this one. Would’ve taken this from a 10/10 to an 11.
Maynard’s getting old; his voice isn’t what it used to be. But I do think that what he has done on this album does a lot to mitigate his age and use his voice to its fullest without straining it too hard.
Maynard took a step back purposefully to "let the instruments breathe." He said that in an interview.
“This is all just too much to take in really” I agree 100% man my mind tapped out somewhere in this stew of music and I was completely sober but felt like I was tripping balls. I should not have been operating heavy machinery 😁
Lol!! I know what you mean. Intoxicating!
Pneuma is Phenomenal.
Phepneumenal.
was worth every year to wait for this. I love it M8...honestly im addicted to the Album. Its just incredibly special to have an Album whit so mouch thought behind it... and actually a Band that seems to fully center around drums... when im listening to it i try to imagine the position of the Instruments (Song writing wise) and to me the image in my Head is a compoletly blank and empty space, Drums in the center in front of me, guitars and bass kinda rush by my ears from left to right and back, kinda like wind... and the vocals are like a sun behind the drums, just fading in and out, right into me.. and it all centers around the drums, like a vortex where the drums connect everything .... might sound like im loosing my shit here but as a musician and songwriter this music just touches me like nothing before xD
Wow, beautiful description
HELL YYEESS!! Saw this on my notifications when I woke up, and was instantly excited to see this!!!
This is more than music, what they've been building up to. Exactly what we need right NOW :)
Thank you, Jim, your reactions are superb!
@BallTistic Screecher and nothing special at the same time. Best Tool song by far is The Pot because is is very dynamic in every sense of the word and it doesn't waste time throughout. These songs are very slow to develop and repetitive which in this day and age just doesn't fly for me. Life is too short to wait for somebody to get to the point...
@@matijagrguric6490 Sucks to be you...
@@mugwump7049 like you would know
@@matijagrguric6490 Your misappreciation of this album told me.
@@mugwump7049 good for you.
ive had this album on repeat for literally every second of every day since its release. it seems like everytime you listen through it, you notice more and more. just like when fear inoculum came out, I didn't like it as much on the first play through, and same goes for this album. now after many listens, I cant seem to get enough of it
18:12 For god's sake, Jim, that's a guitar. Don't you know anything?
You made today more valuable with your FULL ALBUM reaction. I was wondering how you'd attack this work and you, as usual, did not disappoint. Bloody brilliant. Thank you.
Back 10 months later to listen to this masterpiece with you.
Great to share such a masterpiece with you all. So happy about the album. Did not disappoint.
"Danny Carey, good god man"
Exactly !!
Love your videos Jim.
Danny Carey IS God.
So happy to watch this with you. It's a great album!
10:19 I can assure you according to sources in the room, Adam played that solo in a single take with no extra's needed. Believe it or not, the set up on his badass guitar led way to what im assuming is a finely tuned Ghose Screamer or Screamer effects pedal. Sounds bloody fantastic on that gangster ass Deisel Amplifyer. Adam Jones is brilliantly unique in his own right. Glad to bear witness. Cheers Jim. 18:10 is Danny Carey straight up playing a keyboard. He does it again in Invincible as well.
18:10 is Adam
14:21 such a good groove. One of my favorite parts of the album.
It's epic, thanks for opening my eyes to more music!
No Jim, you're right, that's a synth. Danny plays it. You can see it in the live videos of Invincible from their recent tour.
Mandala pads?
It sure sounds and feels like a synth but Im wondering how they'd do it while Danny is drumming, maybe Maynard is playing it (during Pneuma)
Rob G my money is on Adam, I seem to remember reading something about how he was messing around with synths too for this album
Andrew Clark Might be Justin. I’ve heard that all four members contributed a segue to the album. Danny’s is clearly Chocolate Chip Trip, and Maynard’s is likely Legion Inoculate due to that being the only segue to have vocals. That leaves Adam and Justin, and I think it’s Justin because Mockingbeat really sounds like something Adam would do. Some of the distorted mockingbird calls could be pick scrapes.
Edit: Oh, you meant during Pneuma. Yeah, sounds like Adam or Maynard. I can hear Justin and Danny playing, but no guitar until the end.
@@Brawler_1337 Only Danny is credited with synth duties in the liner notes. I've seen them live on the 10,000 days tour and Maynard does play some synth, but on the album it would seem Danny did it all.
This is exactly how reaction videos should be.
For what a CZcams comment is worth Jim, I thought i lost you and thank God I didn't! I hear music very well to educate.. thank you for that
Definite typo of i where should read you (him.. Jim!) My bad
I'm late to the show, but I've been waiting for this! I'm binge watching these tonight. Thank you good sir. Congrats on 10k subs.
I love how genuinely happy u look as u click on a song
I nearly swung my arms off trying to air drum so hard to all those open power chord fills in Pneuma....... The 7count head bang... glorious day.
Such beautiful drum work on this album?, right?🥁
The vocals are less forced than previous albums, there’s no screaming, yelling. The album sounds like a “lead drummers album” , as one review proclaimed.
Yes some of the riffs are very similar to other Tool songs, but this is a solid return for the band after a huge time period.
Jim...gracias infinitas por esta "herramienta" para entrar... (desde Santiago de Chile Felicidades).
Aquí chileee, escuchando tool
You are my favorite person on CZcams. Love listening to this with you ❤️
yeah there's definitely more multi-layering of guitars in this album as opposed to Tool's usual format. To brilliant effect, in any case
I genuinely enjoy your reviews. But I especially like the Tool reactions because you appreciate the genius like I do.
I fully believe this album seriously changes the way bands that consider themselves great musicians record and mix their albums
The engineers and producers are just as much a part this album as the band. I’ve never heard such intelligently placed effects, clean drums, clean editing without being over-perfected and polished. You can still hear the fingers changing frets/string between notes, and imperfect cymbal hits but the sound is perfect. Genius
Damn Jim, great reaction, Pneuma especially, the depth of that song hurts so good, if anyone listened to that and didn’t feel overwhelmed with emotion, or get goosebumps, I’m so very sorry
That breakdown groove gets me every damn time, love it, so energetic and it sneaks up on you so gooood. Ears full of wonder
Some nice soundscapes in this amazing album - almost an ode to Robert Fripp and KC. What a thrill this album is - well worth the wait and great review!!
I wish I could have seen the tour they did together. My two all-time favorite bands!
Lets be honest. Anyone who says this isnt a stellar album either has terrible taste in music, are just plain wrong, or are missing a chromosome.
@70'sDave34 It doesn't have to be. Each album is unique
I rest my case. It's nice see the little circular waves, when throwing a little stone through the calm surface of a bond. :oD
I mean if you love music BTBAM is the second thing after TOOL and Pink Floyd
You did it again! That's why I love your channel.
The Pneuma live video with drum cam!!! Danny is unbelievably talented.
5:05 Jim’s smile. That one sound does the same to me. One single sound seemingly not linked to anything just stands out in a 10 min song.
shtchk!
it sounds like 3 guitar tracks but it appears that they are the same guitar riffs with millisecond delays
so cool you did full album :D I was hoping for it :)
15:05: Jim realizes he has large headphones.
Very good :)
Wish i knew what brand they are, they look comfy.
@@Pulsed101 AKG - K701s (There's a link in the description because everyone asks about them)
Yeah I was going to say they are AKG, the perfect pair to listen to Tool....kinda jealous, I only have BeatsX. Yeah yeah, laugh at me now.
I live for Jim's reaction of the single most important album of the century!
thanks for doing a reaction to the whole album ^^
the guitar break at 20:21 is the equivalent of someone screaking GO !!!!!! . . .from there on out it is just game ON Danny / Adam /Justin
you must must listen to this album from start to finish a few times. Don't pick out your favourite song always. Fear inoculum, Pneuma and 7tempst are the highlights but feel and sound so much more next to the rest
This is how it should be done. Well done sir, and thank you. Been waiting on your review
Their rounds of tours are going to start soon... I hope you get a chance to see them live. It's amazing.
My guess is that Litanie contra la Peur was made using a Korg chaos pad. Sounds Korg to me for sure
I’ve been waiting for this, Jim. Can’t wait.
YESSS I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR JIM TO REVIEW THIS!! SO HAPPY I GET HIS REACTION TO THE WHOLE ALBUM
So glad to see you doing the whole album! Just my opinion, but this album is just great. I am about 10 listens into the whole thing and still loving every second of the complete package 😊
I LOVE your videos now, Jim!!!!!!! And, musically, this entire album was so on-point with about everything!!!!! I think that Adam Jones finally put on his big-boy pants for this entire album as well. And you were 100% accurate about that being a synth in the middle of pneuma. I think that Danny Carey was in charge of that as well, but 🤷♂️
Yeah, Danny does the synths. It's written in the album credits.
Tis a great morning, thank you Jim.
I REALLY like the segue tracks on this record 🤷♀️
Lol it's the one thing I dont "get" or like.......just eliminate all of it and give us 1 more truly badass real song.
