i remember thinking last week that it seemed as if James (matured after writing Wings/10k) was having an internal conversation with Maynard (who wrote Judith). and it's always a little embarrasing talking to yourself. and the artist thought, 'fuck it, leave it in there.'

Really? i've only met a few people who like it, but they're all new tool fans who have only heard 10,000 days. I've told them all what I think of it. Shit I still laugh just thinking about the start of the song lol

The only song on 10,000 Days I don't absolutely love, though it is way more interesting than Stinkfist, anything on Opiate, and a lot of Undertow IMO, and obviously way better musically.

I like the beginning. It's a great sing-a-long song, who fucking cares if it's not deep and reflective. It's good music.
Tool fans = head up their asses.

It's not the lack of depth that makes me laugh. It's Maynards attempt at that range lol

He's not a trained musician, he's a learned singer and simply goes with the heart. I personally think it sounds great, and he pulled it off. I'm far from a Tool asskisser, but that bit is far from complaint worthy, unless it ruins the angst vibe the rest of their work carries.

I think that people hate this song because it is a different pace than the other songs Tool releases. Just because something is different doesn't mean it's bad.
I like this song because I can relate to it. In my school, (i'm 16,) I know so many hypocrites it isnt funny. I relate to this song more than any other Tool song. It certainly isn't the best, but it isn't the worst. Leave that spot for Disgustipated.

When you grow up, you'll appreciate Disgustipated. One of their most poignant and interesting songs....I can't get enough of LET THE RABBITS WEAR GLASSES and all the shotgun blasts. I gained a lot more respect for it after seeing the Undertow behind-the-scenes footage.

I actually sat down the other day and listened all the way through it. I realized that it is a lot better than I originally thought. I also realized that ominous filler tracks Tool has have meaning like all their other songs. I now veiw their filler tracks as, "a short break," rather than, "pure and utter crap."

Like what? Lipan Conjuring? Mantra? Sure, they aren't as awesome or hilarious as their other segues, but they still have that meaning of "Don't just look at things on the surface." And Lipan goes along very well with Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned. Lipan represents the trip before the aftermath (Lost Keys,) and now he has to explain all of this (Rosetta Stoned.)
NOW WE START OUR DISCUSSION OF THE POT.

People need to stop saying this song is "Undertow-ish". It's definitely not Undertow related, if anything I thought it was the passive sequel to Hooker With A Penis because it deals with Maynard venting his frustrations at a particular issue. I guess alot of songs off Undertow follow the same trend, but they all have deeper metaphorical meanings than The Pot (well most of them do anyway). I fucking love this song and I don't care what people say, great bass line thats simple but catchy (and damn fun to play, makes me feel like a badass) and the lyrics flow well with it too. Also I feel like people just thought it was cool to bash on The Pot because everyone called it "simple" and "silly". Lastly, Maynard doesn't sound black at all. The people who said that are fucking retarded no offense. Go listen to some Jay-Z or Tupac then come back and tell me he sounds black or that he's "rapping". He's just singing in this high octave range that he usually doesn't sing in, so he doesn't sound like mature Maynard. if anything I was thinking of the angry version of Robert Plant singing this because of the high vocal range (I would love to hear him sing this song!)
