Yup. Even Maynard said on Joe Rogan that looking back at it, the whole thing was kind of too on the noise

This.





It's not a complex theory though, I mean you can learn it in primary school, you just have to follow a fix sequence.

The same with listeners who discovers the time signatures and learns that songs like schism uses a lot of different time signatures during the song.

It doesn't really matter if it's the first or the thousandth song with weird time signatures people know, but Schism's main rhythm is one of the best things in music ever.

well, when a man and woman like each other and decide to engage in coitus all consensual-like, sometimes, the man and/or the woman want to release their bowels in order to procure more pleasurable completion.

well, sexual freedom and the de-shaming of fetishes (which is important) aside, the need to leave cleveland steamers in your wake probably suggests a violent rejection of proper intimacy and could also hint at the steamer-er's inability to connect to someone in a way that doesn't involve fecal residue..





















enter Tool fan..

On the first listen it was so nauseatingly obvious that they were doing the old Fibonacci trick. I was like, jeez, get out of high school.

Eh using a formula to achieve a unique aesthetic is fine if sounds good. I think I heard some of Danny's beats are based on some sacred geometry stuff and ya know whatever, its creative and sounds good.

It's cool because the fibonacci sequence is found in nature, like in spirals, so an incredibly talented band like this making complex music integrating it is neat to me. This is one of the first bands I listened to as a music fan post-childhood, so who knows what I'd think if I heard about it for the first time now.

Yeah I think the golden ratio is also like the ideal beauty or 'perfection', as not everything completely lines up with this ratio. A study found that the more human faces that lined up to the golden ratio more people found them attractive, maybe its like the healthy ratio natural phenomena strives towards. Haha idk.

Anyways at least it is in line with the lyrical themes and profound instrumentation which saves it from being a gimmick.
