Syzergy - concept that jung uses to describe male/female opposition. the tying together of opposites, the energy that comes from the pulling apart of the opposites etc etc. i just like the word >=)
Jung uses the word "Synergy" with an 'n'. Syzergy with a 'z' is not a word, although I agree that it sounds pretty cool. Perhaps someone here meant "syzygy," the planetary alignment of the sun and the moon around the earth in either opposition or conjuction. This thread is probably really old, but when I read this I went out and looked everywhere online for "syzergy". I wanted to save someone else from doing the same. Also, I think "Resolution" is the best name for it, as mentioned. Thanks.
Maybe something along the lines of describing the songs. Seeing as they are tied in 3, you could also see it as a beginning, middle and an end. Something like a story.
The songs don't tell a story as such (or maybe they do?), but maybe it could be seen that way. I'm not sure of a name that could describe a beginning, middle and end.
Record label wanted more tracks. Otherwise it'd look like an EP.
Same reason that the Mars Volta broke up the tracks on Frances The Mute because if they didnt it would have been a 5 song CD and it would indeed look like a 79 minute EP.

Re: name for Disp/Refl/Triad?
if i only had a brain, i would call it "abysmal intersubjectivity 3"
just cause.
i feel that triad is pretty good, but it really only pertains to the last of the set, 3some, guitar, drum, and bass.
and in refuse. disposition and reflection seem to be about the same, flawlessly integrated. Triad, to me, both in form of disp/refl juxtapose in lyric-less beautiful chewiness.

first of all reflection is probably a real good name for it and resolution while the best makes me wonder thats probably why they split them up you have this 25 minute song, track that is just loaded with so much energy and a lot of work and came just so amazing it was hard to just classify it as one just could not be contained as it was dunno maybe

Same with De-loused too, it was an 8 track CD originally, but the record company wanted a minimum of 10.
Found the article it was from an interview with Danny in Modern Drummer.
"MD: "Disposition," "Reflection," "Triad" ---are these a trilogy?
Danny: Yes, They were constructed as one song. At twenty minutes, the
three together was a little long, so we split them up.
MD: "Resolution" is serious sex orgy in the mosh pit.
Danny: I'm proud of that. It's a departure for us to do something so
trance-like in a way. It's repetitive and groove-oriented rather than
a slamming thing. That piece has really grown on me.
They could have left those tracks blank for all I care, it might be the best string of songs ever like its really epic and ground shattering when you think about it. Just such a powerful string and how they all seamlessly segue together. I can remember just playing this album over and over and over when it first came out. SO so so goood. IF tool never releases another album, ill still be thankful for what they have given us over all these years...
I think the idea of Triad having no words was because there are no words to express it; only music can even begin to touch on the idea of rising to a heightened spiritual enlightenment (which is what Reflection is about). Basically, the three songs form the sequence of enlightenment: first you slow down and "watch the weather change" (Disposition), then you reflect and meditate (Reflection), and after doing so, you have reached enlightenment, which is the meaning of Triad.
Also, I find that the name "Resolution" is perfect.
