They know how to construct instrumentals perfectly...They have the talent to touch the spirit and the very core of a human being with music. Undeniable.
@HeetWav13 it is not silence...if you listen hard enough you can hear nothing. Which is what maynard intended with this part of the song. It is the sound of your own mind, focus and listen to what your inside is telling you. Silence is only silence, if you allow it to be silent...When you dont focus your energy on exterior sensory perceptions, and learn to focus energy on your inner conscious perceptions. you begin to understand silence a little bit more.
This song kick started my merkaba one fine evening. Ever since then it has guided me down the most magickal path I have ever been on. I will be on stage with Tool in less than 2 years. Thank you.
When I saw Tool play this song in Spokane in 2002, they had naked acrobats painted in blue and silver descend from the ceiling on ropes and twist upside down in front of movie screens depicting twitching stick figures.
@Opiatist i wil be soon man give me 2 year tops strattenklein my name its my dream plus i wil use this as 1 of my entances but i wanna use lateralus also n reflection
this is probably one of the greatest yet least appreciated tool songs ever. I hear it in my dreams as I sleep at night. I play it on my guitar to strengthen my hands and coordination. It is an amazing riff and took weeks to learn.
@e39dreamBITCH I could totally picture this song being in like Inception or something, the dreamer is falling asleep and hears this song slowly building, leading into an action chase sequence
@batebordisov Try Mogwai. :P The band is a post-rock type, but it has some heavy guitar into some of the songs, like Christmas Steps... Which is probably my favorite song by them. I'm only saying this because I personally enjoy dazing off to Mogwai, and Tool is my rock-out band. :P Go crazy, type of band.

This song just blows me away. That drumming is as Epic as Jon Bonham's drumming in Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks" in my opinion.

@NAVENESNEGOM Are you referring to the 2 minutes of silence? It's considered to be part of the song, as it was on the actual CD. I sorta like it.
