I used to love tool, cause it was all like "fuck you buddy!" and "i like heroin!" and "YARR LOUD YELLING AND SCREAMING!". And I was all, "my parents hate this, this is awesome."

Then they come out with Lateralus, and it was slower, and more complex, and I was older, and growing up. and I'm thinking, "trying to listen to Lateralus is like playing a game of chess with your ear drums."

Then they finish it off with 10000 days, and i'm telling all my friends that the album is nothing but native american chants, pointless fillers, and a track about some guy on acid. And i believed that for a long time. Then I got bored of Lateralus, and I realised 10000 days is pretty complex in its own right. It too, can be like listening to an aural game of chess.

So I start doing some research on the lyrics, and I quickly fall in love with 'right in two'. After listening often enough, there is one part near the end where a little chime in the left ear channel completely trips me out. TOOL MUSIC GETS ME HIGH. For those 3 seconds when they play that chime, i completely dissociate just like i was on shrooms. For 3 seconds. For free. EVERY SINGLE TIME. No matter what i've been doing that day.

And finally, I read the lyrics for "Intension". They said something backwards. Reversed, it goes like this:

"Work hard, Stay in school, Listen to your mother, your father is right, son... Jesus loves you..."

Maynard, you bastard, I love you.
