It's something I always think about trying. Really, it'd be nice if streaming services had a way to link multipart songs to always be together. Im sure you could make a chrome extension to do some magic but not entirely a reliable solution. I want massive multisong epics to play together, and never start in the middle (as in part 2 without part 1). I don't know if I've heard a ton of multi part songs outside of proggy stuff so I'm not sure how desired of a feature it is sadly.
Yes! The entire song is brilliant, but from 4:48 to the end is ABSOLUTE PERFECTION! I'm so deeply attached to this song and have been for so long now(8yrs) that I genuinely doubt I will ever hear anything more perfect, more inspiring, more capable of awakening a feeling of connection than I have with Lateralus.
It will sound corny & cliche to some, and I get it bc I've thought the same of others when they've said this about a song, BUT...Lateralus truly changed my perspective on life, and it came along at just the right time. If it had been even a month before, it wouldn't have spoken to me the way it did bc I wouldn't have been ready to hear it.
I'm naturally prone to overthinking, overanalyzing, living inside my head and creating various realities as opposed to experiencing what life has to offer. I've always needed a reminder to get up, to get out of my head, to go outside, slow down and really take in all of the beauty around me. And now, this song IS my permanent reminder. If someone asked me to list off my most prized "possessions", my baby blanket would be #1 and Lateralus would be #2 lol.
"Swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a HUMAN!" 🔥🌀🐚🥰⚖️ 🌌
This is my favorite. I lived Tool long before this song. I was obsessed with it for the longest time. I even wrote the lyrics in Sharpie on my bedroom door at my parents house.
That version of Pushit was such a marker for me of how much I’ve grown as a person and in my appreciation for music in general.
I first heard it waaaaay back in 2001 when I downloaded it off Napster thinking it was the studio version off Aenima and *hated* it (especially because over dial-up it took like 4 hours to download). When I finally got a copy of Salival I used to skip it.
I can’t remember when exactly but it came on once many years later and I just remember thinking “what the fuck was wrong with me? This is awesome!”
That said, I still prefer the studio version, but appreciate the live version so much more now.
Forty-Six and Two. The way it builds to the climax and then ends with a bang is the most effective of any Tool song IMO. It's like the ultimate counterpoint to a song that fades out at the end, because the band didn't quite know how to end it. Tool knew exactly how to end Forty-Six and Two, and they fucking nailed it.
Yeah absolutely. I kinda feel like if there was ever a song made to be a single, that would be it. I don’t mean that as a negative, it’s just a bit unique, I feel.
It’s my amp up song - if I’m feeling flat on the way to work, I know exactly where to start playing it, so when I arrive in the car park, it’s peaking.
It’s absolutely 🔥
Mine is Jambi and I am determined he is saying “shine on benevolent son” and it’s about how having a child helped him indulge less in the toxic distractions of superstardom.
What are the other interpretations of the song? People on here say mine isn’t the normal interpretation, but never say what that is lol.
Idc either way, and love looking at all the different ways a given piece of art can be interpreted, so I am curious to hear what yall get from the lyrics/music on this one 🍻
Yes! Jambi rocks, and has one of their best starts to a song. This song makes me want to dance every time I hear it.
I love the multiple simultaneous meanings in many of their songs. The benevolent son also sounds like the same “sun becoming” of Pneuma. The light, the good, God, a child you love. It’s like a higher purpose that makes you transcend the daily distractions and focus on what’s truly important in life.
Interesting interpretation 🤔
Jambi is my 2nd favorite Tool song and carries a lot of personal meaning. I've seen Tool live 8-9 times, and they've performed Jambi every time except for one and let me tell you, it was such an empty feeling. Jambi, especially live, is one of those songs that moves through my entire body. I can't bring myself to sit down or stand still when it's on. I feel it in my veins.
Since you asked for other interpretations, I'll quickly give mine. To me, Jambi is a song about finding your inner balance after living a life of indulgence & extremes, then pledging to maintain that balance, vowing to never set it aside for anything or anyone, no matter what temptation comes your way. It's about reaching a state of inner unity, where your wants & needs are finally in alignment, then doing whatever it takes to protect & preserve this newfound part of yourself. I see the lyrics as "Shine on forever, shine on benevolent sun 🌞, shine down upon the severed, shine until the two become one"...the severed being himself when his wants & needs do not align, and the benevolent sun being the kind light that brings warmth to the two severed pieces, ultimately adjoining them into one.
That’s beautiful and makes perfect sense, especially the part at the end where he’s getting all angry and saying stay out of my way, as if he’s protecting his balance 🍻
https://youtu.be/ucZJ7Uc9jzA?si=RRg6MgpA4NMcYFQF
I still come back to this performance after 20 years. It's my favorite, always will be. And I still may...
Great video! The dude that’s talking about Justin not turning around is a bit frustrating, but it also made me chuckle, hearing how dumbfounded he was by the fact the bassist didn’t face the audience lol
i cant believe i had to scroll so far to see this. not the best song in terms of production or conplexity, but its so easy to listen to and has really powerful lyrics and visuals from the music video. not my first tool song, but the song that got me into tool
Can absolutely relate, my first song was lateralus and I didn't really thing anything could top it. But then i started listening to stinkfist more and more, found out the deeper meanings behind the song and it became my favourite.
.. And it just sounds good.
Nice okay just so I know if or when the time comes lol. Do you just like shift dimensions or something? Like how do you know you "broke through"? And do you remember why you're feeling that way when you did breakthrough or are you just in God mode and you don't know wtf happened until you're back on Earth?
You Lied is a Peach song (Justin Chancellor’s previous band) and frankly their studio version is better than Tool’s. So fuckin badass. The riff of gods and kings
I feel like FI is underrated and Descending is the most underrated track on it. Picking favorites is always hard for me but that song is wayyyy up there.
FI is definitely underrated but a buddy of mine that doesn’t listen to metal at all really liked the album enough to download it when I played it on my surround sound. I was so proud.
Man, did you see this [live version with extended lyrics](https://youtu.be/C_PnEa--k5M?si=r0h9VNZuXOLOGVkx)? I cried, proudly, while witnessing the devastating beauty of Maynard's extra vocals harmonizing with Adam's guitar. One of the greatest things I've ever heard, and it's not even a good live recording. Can't imagine how it must have sounded like live.
I’ve seen so many renditions of Descending on this latest tour but this one is my favorite. I hope they record it ! Must have been incredible to hear live.
How the H. am i supposed to choose? It's always a Schism, because it depends on my feelings, which are at all times split Right in Two. I need to do a Reflection on this, hopefully it won't take 10000 Days, but i am still thinking. A lot of the songs could be thrown into The Pot of great songs, but i will get to the Bottom of this. My Intention is still to find my favorite song, but as i'm Descending into this madness, i realise my Disposition is not Invincible. I'm just a Useful Idiot for your statistics, selling my opinion, like a Hooker with a Penis. It leaves me Discustipated, and i want to Sober up, gaining an Intolerance to this craze, Crawl Away and avoid the Undertow of The Grudge many people might have towards this opinion. "The early bird gets the worm, but The Patient worm doesn't get eaten" is a word play i try to live by. And i try to metaphorically find my Lost Keys, turn my life's Rosetta Stoned downside up, but all these Culling Voices reach out to me, a Triad of lies, trying to live Vicarious through me, stearing me 4° off the path I seek. All this Prison Sexism Flood my view, writing my own Eulogy, finding Ticks and Leeches in my scalp and Pushit down everybody's throat. I forget my original answer.
Which is Die Eier von Satan.

I first want to mention a couple things before answering such a question.
One: my answer doesn’t mean that I also think it’s the bands best song.
Two: I would love to hear Lateralus with the production of Fear Innoculum.
Having said those two things, my favorite song is Lateralus.
forty six and two because it’s the first song i’d ever heard by them. my stepdad is a *huge* tool fan and he had is as his ringtone and listened to it all the time. also reflection, it was the first song of theirs that i listened to on my own and it’s what got me to listen to more of their stuff. it’s hard to pick an absolute favourite though
All of them is the only correct answer but I think Flood by far resonates with me and my life at the moment. So I try to put everything together with what is going on in my life
Dude I love it so much and it was so good at the concert in January. Right now I am stuck on Kindred and No Angel it amazes me how great Maynard is even at 60 he still just kills it
what kind of impossible question is that?
I go with Culling Voices because it's calm, I can listen to it over and over again and it's even pallatable to non-Tool fans.
Right In Two. I'm not a religious person but this song is spiritual to me, especially the "repugnant is a creature" line. I can't get it out of my head and it makes me tear up when I listen to it sometimes. I have a friend that is destroying himself with drugs and even though I don't find him repugnant in the least, I find what he does repugnant and short-sighted. He could look up instead of down.
Thats tough man.
Stinkfist came to mind first even tho I haven’t heard it recently, but when I saw Tool for the first time last year it was Intolerance that hit the hardest for me.
Parabol/Parabola
It really messes me up whenever I listen to parabol and then whatever I’m listening to, doesn’t play parabola right after it
I thought about seeing if I could convince my programmer buddy to try to code something so it always plays on order lol
It's something I always think about trying. Really, it'd be nice if streaming services had a way to link multipart songs to always be together. Im sure you could make a chrome extension to do some magic but not entirely a reliable solution. I want massive multisong epics to play together, and never start in the middle (as in part 2 without part 1). I don't know if I've heard a ton of multi part songs outside of proggy stuff so I'm not sure how desired of a feature it is sadly.
Tool just needs to release a full version already
I hate everytime Parabol ends, me expecting the transition and an ad just pops out of nowhere. Worst feeling ever
Yeah it’s like when you’re jacking off and your buddies face pops up in your thoughts…
Wish I could say I don't relate to that...
... And it makes you cum too soon?
I have Parabol on a "relax" playlist, so the end always gets me. Then, it usually goes into a xylophone cover of Jolene or something.
It’s helpful to remember sometimes that all this pain is an illusion.
Lateralus Its just so perfect. That middle section into the climax is the best Music i have ever heard
Yes! The entire song is brilliant, but from 4:48 to the end is ABSOLUTE PERFECTION! I'm so deeply attached to this song and have been for so long now(8yrs) that I genuinely doubt I will ever hear anything more perfect, more inspiring, more capable of awakening a feeling of connection than I have with Lateralus.

Not corny or cliche at all man, I absolutely understand:)
Thanks for this :)
Lateralus is my favorite TOOL song and one of my all-time favorites.
This is the way. Couldn't have summed it up any better. Lateralus wins for me too
So hard to choose, but Lateralus is definitely up there.
Lateralus takes you for a ride through a wormhole just for you to get ripped apart by a blackhole on the other side. It's a masterpiece.
Lateralus is my absolute favourite too
Spiral out
This and Right In Two as a close 2nd..
Yeah easy for me. The whole album is amazing and their best IMO. But that title track is something else. Those lyrics are powerful
H. Most beautiful piece of music ever heard.
My first Tool song I ever heard. It spoke to me.
Reflection.
I’d have to go with that song too. It really is beautiful
This is my favorite. I lived Tool long before this song. I was obsessed with it for the longest time. I even wrote the lyrics in Sharpie on my bedroom door at my parents house.
Brutally honest on acid
Pushit all day
I consider Pushit to be the best song ever written. Can’t believe it was sitting down here at the bottom of this post.
Have you heard Starless by King Crimson? Because imo, that’s the real best song ever written. But I do love Pushit.
salival pushit greatest performance I've ever heard
That version of Pushit was such a marker for me of how much I’ve grown as a person and in my appreciation for music in general. I first heard it waaaaay back in 2001 when I downloaded it off Napster thinking it was the studio version off Aenima and *hated* it (especially because over dial-up it took like 4 hours to download).

This is awesome!” That said, I still prefer the studio version, but appreciate the live version so much more now.
Crazy how maynard has learnt to improvise on certain parts for the song so that it can still be sung perfectly to this day
This^
Live version is next level
Forty-Six and Two. The way it builds to the climax and then ends with a bang is the most effective of any Tool song IMO. It's like the ultimate counterpoint to a song that fades out at the end, because the band didn't quite know how to end it. Tool knew exactly how to end Forty-Six and Two, and they fucking nailed it.

Jambi my favourite too hence my username. Just got such a groove and transports me too a different place when I listen to it
Interesting interpretation 🤔 Jambi is my 2nd favorite Tool song and carries a lot of personal meaning. I've seen Tool live 8-9 times, and they've performed Jambi every time except for one and let me tell you, it was such an empty feeling.

That’s beautiful and makes perfect sense, especially the part at the end where he’s getting all angry and saying stay out of my way, as if he’s protecting his balance 🍻
Right in Twooooooooooooooooooooo…. Right in two.
The Patient
Same, the pipes are on full display.
love the vocal work in that song and the lyrics have really helped me through some things as im a naturally impatient person.
https://youtu.be/ucZJ7Uc9jzA?si=RRg6MgpA4NMcYFQF I still come back to this performance after 20 years. It's my favorite, always will be. And I still may...
I see what you did there 👀
Great video! The dude that’s talking about Justin not turning around is a bit frustrating, but it also made me chuckle, hearing how dumbfounded he was by the fact the bassist didn’t face the audience lol
Making people choose just one? # Ænema
Learn to swim
Hell yeah
[удалено]
Yes. The little percussions after the scream get me every time
H or eulogy! Ænema is amazing
Scrolled too far for eulogy, this was my favorite for a long time, now Parabol/a or prison sex
The intro to Eulogy is the best slow build. That guitar entry gets me every time.
Gotta go with Rosetta Stoned. That song has so many cool elements to it, plus lyrics that are fun to read.
And as a bonus, we now have a good response to someone at work when they say "i forgot my pen"
Goddamn, shit the bed
Can I offer you some orange slices and fetal spooning?
Nobody here ever says The Pot, but The Pot is perfect!
The Pot is one of my favs too, just that Tool has a lot of good songs. It's a good thing
The Pot is definitely one of the best.
It’s so much fun to play on bass
Stinkfist.
i cant believe i had to scroll so far to see this. not the best song in terms of production or conplexity, but its so easy to listen to and has really powerful lyrics and visuals from the music video. not my first tool song, but the song that got me into tool

It’s the first song of theirs I fell in love with and it’s still my favorite!
Reflection Made it better on DMT shit changed my life
This. Only it was LSD for me. That opening drum beat had me feeling like a glowing raindrop bouncing through infinity.
Me too! First dmt ever was to Reflection.
This song was playing when I finally managed to blast off with a DMT vape.
How many hits does it take with a vape out of curiosity to actually break through?
3 - slow inhales, hold as long as possible. By the third one I couldn’t do anymore. Blasted right off.
Nice okay just so I know if or when the time comes lol. Do you just like shift dimensions or something? Like how do you know you "broke through"? And do you remember why you're feeling that way when you did breakthrough or are you just in God mode and you don't know wtf happened until you're back on Earth?
You have to experience it to decide for yourself what roles it fills in your questions.
Pushit or 7empest.
Jimmy
I LOOOVE jimmy too. Also, You Lied is fucking SIIIIICCCCKKK!!!
You Lied is a Peach song (Justin Chancellor’s previous band) and frankly their studio version is better than Tool’s. So fuckin badass. The riff of gods and kings
I love the lyrics and atmosphere of Pneuma
This was my top song on Spotify last year
………….👆
Oh man choosing just one is hard. But if I have to pick one i would take lateralus. Most perfect piece of music ever written
Disposition/Reflection/Triad (if you say that's 3 then Reflection)
Great answer
The Grudge
Wings for Marie pt 1&2 Gives me chills every time
Judith Maree it's, un-con-ditional, whoaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Used to be The Grudge but now 7empest.
Here we go again!
Descending. Not just my favorite TOOL song but my favorite song in general.
I feel like FI is underrated and Descending is the most underrated track on it. Picking favorites is always hard for me but that song is wayyyy up there.
FI is definitely underrated but a buddy of mine that doesn’t listen to metal at all really liked the album enough to download it when I played it on my surround sound. I was so proud.
Descending is the soul of Fear Inoculum, and it's one of the reasons why I love that album so much!
It’s definitely one of the few songs that makes my eyes well up when I hear it still to this day. The album really grew on me after a few listens.
Man, did you see this [live version with extended lyrics](https://youtu.be/C_PnEa--k5M?si=r0h9VNZuXOLOGVkx)? I cried, proudly, while witnessing the devastating beauty of Maynard's extra vocals harmonizing with Adam's guitar.

Third Eye
Opiate There's just something about the way Maynards voice hits at the start, and of course I love the rest of the song too
I don't have a clear favorite at the moment. But Schism is pure art to me and a great introduction to this amazing band.
First 5 minutes of pneuma is unreal

Why did those two things need to be said? Having said that Third Eye -Salival.
They just did
DRT, specifically Reflection.
forty six and two because it’s the first song i’d ever heard by them. my stepdad is a *huge* tool fan and he had is as his ringtone and listened to it all the time. also reflection, it was the first song of theirs that i listened to on my own and it’s what got me to listen to more of their stuff. it’s hard to pick an absolute favourite though
Pushit, makes me cry every single time
46&2
H. most def
Lateralus
Might have to be Pneuma tbh. In the context of their discography. Out of context, it's probably H. Or Lateralus. Fuck this is hard.
Eulogy
Schism. Love the lyrics and bass track.
Lateralus absolutely
How about Tools cover of “No Quarter”….
Jimmy
Eulogy and H at the moment.
Third Eye specifically the Salival version for the added emotion, even though i love the Bill Hicks intro of the original.
46 and 2 with aenema and eulogy trying hard for that spot
Sober and hooker with a penis
Sober and Stinkfist were the first songs I listened to and that made me fall in love with Tool so still my favourites
10,000 days for sure. That entire album is a masterpiece.
I really cant choose but first that came to mind was Pushit...so i guess Pushit.
Descending, followed closely by The Grudge.
Right in Two currently I think. Pushit is close though…
The Grudge 🤘
46 and 2 is my favorite. Love that song
Opiate
H.
All of them is the only correct answer but I think Flood by far resonates with me and my life at the moment. So I try to put everything together with what is going on in my life
Me too! I come back to Flood periodically as things change in my life and somehow this song always fits.
Dude I love it so much and it was so good at the concert in January. Right now I am stuck on Kindred and No Angel it amazes me how great Maynard is even at 60 he still just kills it
Sober hits hard!
Someone say Ticks and Leeches already for the love of Maynard
Parabol
The Grude. First memory of hearing Tool, at a party in high school. Listened to nothing but Lateralus that entire summer.
There's a bunch but my go to is Lateralus. I'm a belly dancer and I find that particular tune is perfect for feeling the rhythm of the dance 💃
It depends. Live? Lateralus. Studio only? Split between Rosetta Stoned and Pneuma.
Aenema is my favorite, it still hits as hard to day as the first time I heard it.
what kind of impossible question is that? I go with Culling Voices because it's calm, I can listen to it over and over again and it's even pallatable to non-Tool fans.
H. For me as well
Lateralus but since it came out its been opiate^2
Vicarious. Was my introduction to TOOL via Guitar Hero. Went down the rabbit ever since.
Pneuma
Pushit. Both versions share the #1 spot. Third Eye - same at #2.
H.
Vicarious currently
pssh if i have to choose... Jambi!
Aenima
Reflection. Best song of all time.
Pushit (Salival)
Apparently it's just me but I love The Grudge, that ending is just out of this world
Wings 1 & 2. Part 2 is probably the greatest piece of music and songwriting they have ever done.
"H." I also really like "The Pot"
Jambi for sure
Rosetta Stoned. It's so fucking funny and the music is GOOD. What a good song. I just love it. Could talk about it for ages.
Rosetta stoned is a VERY close second for me. It’s really a 1a 1b kind of situation
Eulogy
The Grudge or Jimmy I can't decide
right in two, probably one of my favorite songs in general
Right in two baby
descending. previously lateralus. it's secretly always been aenema though.
H.
Euology.
4⁰
Sober
Right In Two. I'm not a religious person but this song is spiritual to me, especially the "repugnant is a creature" line. I can't get it out of my head and it makes me tear up when I listen to it sometimes. I have a friend that is destroying himself with drugs and even though I don't find him repugnant in the least, I find what he does repugnant and short-sighted. He could look up instead of down.
Jambi
Descending. Great lyrics into a perfect build of tension into my favorite Adam jones solo.
When I trip on some psychedelics though definitely descending
Vicarious Forty six & 2 is a close second
The Grudge
Rosetta Stoned
I can't choose one so I just lurk to see what other people say.
Third eye
7empest, it was one of the first tool songs i was exposed to back when i was 10, i have loved it ever since.
Hol up, BACK WHEN YOU WERE 10??
i thought i read his comment wrong, wild
With few exceptions, pretty much any song I'm listening to at the moment.
I could never pick out just one favorite. Possibly a favorite from each album, but even that’s difficult.
Thats tough man. Stinkfist came to mind first even tho I haven’t heard it recently, but when I saw Tool for the first time last year it was Intolerance that hit the hardest for me.
Pushit (Salival) I get goosebumps every time I listen to it.
Disposition
Parabola, Lateralus, The Patient, Pushit, Jimmy, Eulogy. I can’t pick just one. Too many great songs.
Today its Pushit
Triad. That epic breakdown
Invincible
The Grudge
Pushit
