I was driving down I-75 with my father from Georgia to Florida and listning to Lateralus. My dad, whom is quite the heavy sleeper, awoke to the sound of my accidental horn-honking as i was drummling on the sterring comlumn.
My father isn't the biggest TOOL fan in the world ;) He's an oldies type guy whos not all into the esoterica of what TOOL is all about.
But he said something rather interesting when listning to Reflection.
He said that it plays in layers.
Which it does.
Thusly, this lead me to think of layers and how the whole cd is based upon the idea of the mind and the body layered into one being.
The cd cover sleeve...as anyone who might own Lateralus knows, is in sheets, or layers. The percussive aspect right at the beginning of the song is like the first layer. Other instrumentation is introduced and could easily take as part of the newer layers.
Whats interesting is right before the first versoe is sung by Maynard, the guitar (or bass, maybe) effect....
...is almost like breathing...giving the human body layer life.
Also, it seems the chakra star is located in this layer and it's the throat area.
------
OR maybe it's all bullshit...;)
