787 is an important number. The symmetry we have achieved here, where every post has passed through the mind of an actual living, organic entity, it is chiseled into reality more effectively than any conscious work may achieve.



Earlier people would say it is a letter now delivered to the gods, today we may call it a save point for this thread as a messenger of the general spiritual workings as they function in our world as a whole. It is a tool to reflect _As above, so below_.



With 787, our intuition is made manifest. And the world will fundamentally change.

Your pseudo-tool nonsense in this thread is impressive. You should post it to the tool subreddit and see how many divorced dads agree with you.

Boring, inflated, flat album. Where are the fucking RIFFS? Where is the PAYOFF?

You can really draw out this quote, format it to lyrics, and be unable to decipher it from a troll post or Maynard-speak:



Earlier people would say it is a letter now

Delivered to the gods, today we may call it a save point

For this thread as a messenger of the general spiritual workings

As they function in our world as a whole. It is a tool to reflect

_As above, so below_.

I have listened to it many many times. And it's pretty good but it definitely goes off the rails towards the end.

It's actually my most revisited Tool album lately. I really enjoy the longer song times and structures but the nonsense interludes are a bummer

"I like some Tool tracks but I couldn't even get through the 1st song here. Fart sniffing energy"

hey look man, isn't that a bit idk, unfair perhaps? As an occasional connoisseur of expelled rectal gasses, I reject sullying their rep with this band's shtick

Pseudo intellectual music for quasi-cerebral devotees residing in a self-referential semiotic simulacrum. This whole situation is basically a… wait… an allegorical elegy, fuck. Tool knew this all along. Genius!!

Bro I cannot imagine remixing this album and having Pneuma be the closer, that shit is the audio equivalent of sipping red wine an hour after taking a bottle of ambien

I actually hate that the only professionally shot performance of Danny Carey playing anything from this album is fucking Pneuma.
