LMAO!!! i just found a review/email i sent someone the evening of the day i discovered Lagteralus on shrroms! MQANN!!! i can FEEL the frenzy, me thinks it's almost time to trip again! mwha ha ha ha below is a word for word account trying to express the inexplicable exstacy of that particular moment     


okay, the upper part is an email i sent someone :wink: in an obviously non cohate state of mind/......i could correct all the typos and hence preserve my integrity lol :grin: but i'm just gonna leave it as is.....

Below is a review of my experience listening to Lateralus on shrooms just B4 i left for Bucharest......normally i wouldn't post a "personal communique" between mice-elf and anyone but i seriously don't see where i could have betrayed a confidence much less publically associated anyone(with or without their permission) avec moi :smile:

I ended up listening to Lateralus by Tool for around 5 or 6 hours solid on headphones standing and swaying back and forth! MAN those guys ROCK!!!! they are the black sabbath/zeppelin of the 2'000's.....seriously! and it was funny cauz B4 i even put it on or knew what to expext, i realized that it was an anniversary to the night(last night) that i saw zeppelin live stoned on acid(red blotters) and weed........and i swear man, with my eyes closed.......rocking back and forth while standing up.....i thought i WAS seeing tool live only with my eyes closed!!! This CD DEMANDS to be cranked up LOUD!!! It REALLY starts around the 3:50 mark of the first song..........one heavy metal spud after another(no guitar solos either which i know will appeal to you)............you MUST check out that fucking cd man!!! must, must MUST!!!!i downloaded 2 other cd's by them in their entirity but i'm saving them...............Lateralus is a musical EPIPHANY not to be missed .....get on it NOW mofo

BUT at a show its alll the same songs and no chance for improvisation

Ever heard TRIAD live? All of them improv that song (not really a song becauze no lyrics). They even have a guest drummer every time they play live!

Unfortunately not Murex, that is a beautiful song/composition(imo).......i mean i did have tickets for the erie Pa show, but due to reasons too complex to get into i could not attend.......:(  :mad: :cool: :laugh: :grin: but it's all good anyway  :smile:

not just triad live, but the drum solo that leads up to it...

for me that was the most amazing part of the show. three drummers, and the way they connected and performed together was far beyond anything i had ever heard before. tool gives a very tight live performance... i have never seen a more amazing display of skill in my lifetime.

Triad is (imo) a very underated track. I love it. It builds and builds until BAM! A wonderful creshendo (sp?) that is like an orgasm. I should listen to it tripping, I might blow a wad in my phants  :shocked: :wink:

I also just downloaded the Parabol/a video. Great video.

On a couple acid trips of mine, the highlight of the nights were listening to Lateralus over and over again.  I would sit lotus style and put both the speakers right up to my ears and go right down inside the music.  So completely immersed.  Right from the beginning that CD sent me on a mystical journey inside myself and around the world.

I love how the first track "the Grudge",  works to grab all that negative shit thats floating around and totally obliterate it, leaving you fresh and new like you've just been washed up on shore from violent ship-wreck.  And it sets you in a perfect mood for the rest of the album.  Man that song is intense.

Triad was one of my favorites since the first time i listened.  You know its gonna be a musical masterpiece when they decide it doesn't need lyrics.
I love the roto-tom addition to that song live, and doesn't Adam's wife come out on keyboards?
Very powerful.
Go Adam, last lick on the CD!  :tongue:  (excluding voice of god)

Technical Excellence and Creativity?

pfff there's some ambient/chill-out music that definitely surpasses Tool's album in terms of technical excellence AND creativity...

Insert an "I think" mentally in front of eveything I say that seems sketchy, because I certainly don't KNOW much. Also; feel free to yell at me.

That is produced entirely with machines though.

Tool is a band of musicians...there's limits to what they can do with their sound (this is still A LOT!! :grin:)

I'm listening to some of the music you speak of right now though...Venetian Snares!!

oh god yes! they couldnt have picked a better track than "the grudge" to open lateralus... my favorite part is in the middle, when he goes
"wear the grudge like a crown, desperate to control, unable to forgive... and SINKING - DEEPER" and then the song just blows you away... "defining ... confining ... and sinking - deeper ... ... controling ... defining ... it was SINKING - DEEPER" ... wow... they opened the show the first time i saw them with that song... i was in trance after it... and parabola just gave me the rest... and they finished with lateralus to make the evening perfect...

I like that machine noise at the very beginning of the song.

a friend of mine said that it sounds like an old robot suddenly coming to life again after years lying in dust, and is enthusiastically ready to continue the mission.

That was MY experience, Lozt Soul.....i put my headphones on (while STILL seated) and as i had no preconcieved notions of Tool, or their music save but what i had read at the Shroomery RE Lateralus, i really didn't know what to expect. i will admit i felt EXTREMELY uncomfortable coming up on shrooms for the first 3 and a half minuttes of the grudge.......i had just downloaded it from a member here at the shroomery......

my main thought whilst "coming up" on shrooms was" i don't know if i can HANDLE 75 more minutes of THIS.......then the dam  wall broke and heavens shone down right at*moment you mentioned........that was the FIRST block of resistance removd.....at that point i was lifted my the scruff of my neck into a standing, swaying position......which lasted several hours......any residual tension/resistance was alleviated with Maynard's primal yelp  .....and then as if there was any defensive mechanism left over within the CONFINES of my egoistic consiousness, they were swiftly assuagesd and dispensed with with the vocalized exhortation to "let it go....let it go....." From there it was as easy and effortless as floating downstream totally at one with the music and hence the entire musical experience that IS Lateralus.....but i admit, for that first 3:50, til right up to the words you quoted....it was kinda tense..... i had no way of knowing i was in for one of the most profoundly intense musical experiences of my life......* sorry to be so abrupt here, but for WHATEVER reason the space bar is starting to act like a f......friggen pac man and eating the letters i've typed and i just don't feel like detracting from the spontaneity of this precious moment :smile:

i read an interview with danny in which he said that they had PLENTY of stuff over that they didnt put into lateralus... after all it was 4 years of creativity without putting out a record... so it looks like there is going to be another record (i hope so) provided nibiru doesnt screw things up  :grin:

and freaq... i know EXACTLY what you are talking about... the first time i listened to that record on shrooms was on my own in the middle of the forest on my mp3 player... i was sitting on a tree trunk like an elf in the woods... and that part just shot pure adrenaline right through my veins...  all body hair just stood apart from my skin to witness the beauty of music... and i was in for a ride... as the record finished i walked out of the woods (voice of god was playing) and i arrived to this plain to witness the most beautiful sunset RIGHT before me... the warm summer sun hitting on my skin, the grass flowing in the wind everything just made me burst to tears... wow... the good old times

Well I havent heard the live version, but I like to listen to the normal one while trippin. It fucking amazing. I like eulogy on shrooms too. The biginning is great. It's a fun song to jam too. Ha, out in the forest on shrooms with an mp3 player: sounds like something I would do.
