I find Reflection to be a bit repetitive after lots of listens. The guitar solos are great, the all tom drum solo is kicka[font=]a[/font]ss, but I'm not crazy about Maynard's vocals. It is a beautiful song, and the overall atmosphere is great, but to me, Disposition > Triad > Reflection.

I don't find it repetitive. I think Maynard's vocals are some of the best I've heard on that song, if not the whole album.

Its supposed to be repetitive...Its a very tribal song that almost puts you in a trance if you relax and listen to the whole song. I really like his vocal melody lines as well as the lyrics...definately a differnt type of T00L song...but a great song none the less.

Some people say repetitive. I say mood setting.

I honestly find Disposition to be more hypnotic. The tabla, the plucked guitar, the three repeated lyrics. I could meditate to that.

[QUOTE=Rothmans]I posted awhile back a website with all those songs on it.[/QUOTE]

repost it

I'm a disposition fan. The ambience that creates...

You inadvertently just perfectly defined Meshuggah. Thank you. :p

Anyways, Disposition almost made me die once. I've shared the story once here, but I might as well do it again; I was driving home from a long day at school and I was just having a lot of trouble with life in general. Overload of school work, stupid girls, and parents, y'know. On my way home, Disposition came on, and I just fell into this deep trance. I don't know if it was for five seconds, or the duration of the song, but when I "awoke," my car was drifting off the road, heading for a telephone pole.

:eek:

Disposition can lull me to sleep, I love it.

But my opinion of Reflection won't falter.

Wow....that's weird, man.

Do you still recall it whilst listening to Disposition?

What do you mean?

Does the (near) car crash come to memory when you listen to Disposition?

Oh, no, not so much. It's not what I think of when I listen to that song, if that's what you mean.

I think I remember that story. It's a very trance inducing song, I don't blame you.

Disposition is the lullaby.

Reflection is the cradle.

Triad is the dream.

Cool. This could open new doors of interpretation.

Woah, that's strange.

One time I was driving along listening to Disposition, and the weather was this overcast grey, which sets the perfect mood for the album. So I was really into it, and right as Maynard said "watch the weather change," it started to rain and I had one of those moments, where you're just completely taken into those songs. That was pretty cool.

Oh man, that's cool, dude. That would be like my room exploding when Maynard screams in The Grudge.

I was tripping balls while listening to Third Eye (live) last night. Freaky as hell.

... Did you ever post at leoslyrics.com?

No...I don't recall ever posting there, but I think I've been to the site a couple of times? Do we have a case of deja vu here?

EDIT: Oh, I just saw the post you were probably talking about. There's definately something to this song.

[QUOTE]While returning from a tool concert, and listening to this song, well... Right with the music picked up, and he says "watch the weather change". The sky went from a nice calm blue, into an instantaneous thunder storm. The largest and closest lightning strike hit, right as reflection started... It was so ****ing weird, and awe Inspiring.[/QUOTE]

Very big case of deja vu... very strange :/

Link? I wanna see. :-D

EDIT: Never mind, I read the 2nd quote in your post, Otherside. :p Very interesting to say the least. Where I am, it hardly ever rains, and the weather rarely changes, so if that happened to me, that would really be something freaky.

I wish it rained more around here. I love it when it rains, so that experience was really awesome. Yeah, just a weird coincidence though, that it happened to that other guy. For me, it didn't start thunderstorming, and it began as cloudy and overcast, so they're different in that sense.

I'm listening to Lateralus right now for the first time in about a month, and it really is refreshing.

A month without laterlaus. . .wow

[QUOTE=Dried Muffin Remnants]I was tripping balls while listening to Third Eye (live) last night. Freaky as hell.[/QUOTE]

Don't use the term tripping balls. Weirdos use that term.

I'm on a Tool haitus as well. I'm happily satisfied with Dredg, Sigur Ros, The Arcade Fire, Radiohead, and The Mars Volta for now though.

I've been in that stage with Dredg, Porcupine Tree, Radiohead, and a whole host of Post Rock bands for the past month. Now, I'm ready to get back to some Tool, though.

I listen to Tool at least once a week, because when I mow my lawn, I listen to Lateralus. :cool: It's almost as if the album is syncronized with my lawn, because Triad usually ends when I'm finished mowing my lawn. :lol: Wicked.

I'm going to start listening to Tool more now after my hiatus. But once the new album comes out, I'll listen to them nonstop for a while. That could be quite a ways away though.

I finally got a [url=http://www.last.fm/user/Redrawing]scrob[/URL]. They're fun.

My [url=http://www.last.fm/user/DrJakeDestructo]scrob[/url] is already extremely lopsided in Tool's favor, so it'll be scary to see what it's like when Elephtheria comes out.
