Vicarious Backwards?

[Shinobu's Smile]

This could be just me "separating my body from my mind", but if you listen to vicarious at the 4:10 mark it sounds as if he is speaking backwards. Its just the way that the vocals fade in then cut out as each word is being said. I tried reversing the song but the vocals are a bit drowned out by the instruments. Perhaps this song has a hidden meaning just like No Quarter supposedly has. If any of you have any hitech software out there that can separate music, bass, and vocals, i emplore you to help me satisfy my curiosity. Also, there is talking in the background at 5:05 (Also like No Quarter has).

On a side note, the lyrics seem as if they would belong more to APC's third album eMotive then on an album following Lateralus. (But thats just my 2 cents)

Reverse reverb, easy production trick.

I agree with you there. The lyrics do seem a bit more APC styled, but I do see some Tool twist to it. Either way, I really dig the lyrics.

This morning I had the thought of playing Vicarious backwards, but I doubt it'll be anything more than a song playing backwards. As Jmmeny said--reverse reverb.

[Shinobu's Smile]

what do you guys mean reverse reverb? (im a dunce when it comes to playing music)

Yeah, I tried it, nothing special.

You know when you go into a bathroom and shout, and you hear your voice echo, well that's a type of reverb. Or when you go into a big cathedral and make any sort of noise and it trails away afterwards, that's reverb. In the studio, you can add it to vocals, then reverse it, you get that fade in sound you're talking about.

ohh, thanks

[Bob_Marley_Wannabe]

i guess some ppl cant handle maynard actually singing on a tool track, without all the f'n power screaming and what not. sad

[RED_THE_HAT]

not completely true.


Had one original, the rest were covers

[Khastra_KSC]

Kenshin kicks ass.

Try turning something in reverse... then applying a reverb to it.
Then reverse it back to normal = awesome sound.

You can make an entire horror movie sound track with it.

[ArizonaBay]

wow, i just reversed the lyrics and he says "Teleincision, August 16th"!

Just a thought, but dya think teleincision could have been a working title? Especialy with the TV theme of vicarious

You know it's the same dude, right?

i think that 10000 days will be some sort of hoax cover which will reveal the authentic (teleincision) artwork underneath when torn to shreds. also, the 10000 days disc will be slightly thicker than your average cd to accommodate the teleincision disc inside. naturally the real disc will be revealed when this 10000 days crap is torn to shreds.

or perhaps the true tracklisting will be revealed when a teleincision is made through the back of the case.

(but that's just my 2 cents...)
