Connected...?

[Mark D]

Has anyone ever thought of the Parabol/Parabola and Intermission/jimmy connection? Maybe Parabol is just designed to be an intermission to Lateralus.

The nature of an intermission is to provide a period of time during which one can take a break from the entertainment and later return, ready for more. When I hear Parabol/a play, an intermission is the last thing on my mind. In fact, it's one of the most envigorating and uplifting tracks on the album.

As to the correlation to intermission/jimmy...I don't see one.

I see "Parabol" as the intro to "Parabola" they are one song on 2 tracks, why i can say maybee thay just liked it that way. as for "intermission/jimmy" i think that Tool just needed some tracks to put "Aenima" at 13. then you could try and aply the numberolgy thing to all this....

I don't buy the numberology deal. I still think that this album and possibly Lateralus as well synch up with some film. Anyone ever seen anything good?

i dont go for that numberolgy crap eather but i see a lot of people do so i thought one of them might have something to say about that.

I'll have to agree with the small masses here, and say that I think Parabol stands on it's own just fine. I made a mix cd, and threw parabol in there, and I love it by itself, it's kind of cool when it cuts out with that crescendo? at the end.
