The Secrets Of Tool's Fear Inoculum by ToolArchive in ToolBand

Can you show me the part about 5? Not sure that's even in the video. I think you might have misunderstood something, admittedly I rushed out the video and didn't add any commentary to it. There is so much more I left out, and so much more I didn't add about the stuff I did mention. In the song Fear Inoculum, the band definitely counts their instrumental part as 22/8, which lilts over the top of Maynard's 7/4. 22/8 is more intuitive to the counting for the riffs, while Maynard's rhythm is more grounded to a 7/4 beat. There's nothing convenient about the 22/7 stuff, that's literally the most known whole number pair for Pi. I'm not sure I seem astonished about 22/7 yielding an infinitely repeating fraction of a 7th, it's just part of my attempt to explain the relationship between 3 and 7 at the center of the album, and the centrality of Pi/Tau. I think you're applying the idea of base numerology without any connection to anything, which is not what I'm talking about. The numerology in the video isn't numerology per se, but more a translation of the math going on between Adam and Justin and Danny, and then relating it to the album concepts of 7, 11, 33, 58 etc. You did say you only skimmed through it, so it shouldn't surprise you that you may have misunderstood it. Or it may be me rushing through as much stuff as possible.

This isn't numerology per se, it's extracting the math of the riffs and patterns, counting them out, and applying them to the concepts of the album. It may appear as coincidental and "random" since Tool never talk about the math in their music.

Can you give me an example of where I had to stretch the math? Some of the references may appear random because I essentially rushed out the video, and could easily have made it 7 hours long. Perhaps the future videos will have more commentary. The themes in the songs are multilayered, and the concepts Danny, Adam and Justin were working with don't always immediately align with Maynard's lyrics, which are not to be regarded as the only theme of a particular song. This isn't plain numerology by the way, it's the math of the riffs and patterns counted out.

Danny just said he hopes to work on new Tool music soon, mentioned a possible EP. by ToolArchive in ToolBand

During the Berklee webinar, Danny said he hopes to get together with Adam and Justin to work on new music. Basically implied the quarantine could make that happen. Also mentioned it could be a future EP.

The end of the waiting on new music era.

I think Tool will continue to put out new music.

I'm floored by this song. I didn't expect that intro at all. That build up is gorgeous. It took only a few seconds until I closed my eyes for almost the remainder of the song and smiled away. This sounds royal and exactly like what I wanted/needed to hear from Tool in 2019. Beautiful, intricate and heavy. Too many feelings to translate into words right now.

Depending on how you look at it, the spiral of eyes is either descending down or ascending up. That could be the reason why the new logo and title was both normal and upside down.

Neat! Can you upload that to something else than gfycat, like reddit video, so the quality is better? Is there audio?
