I know EXACTLY what you mean. I feel the exact same way.

"Dont just call me pessimistic, try and read between the lines. I cant imagine why you wouldnt welcome any change my freind"

"Overwhelmed as one would be...."

"Thers something kind of sad about the way things have come to be, desensitised to everything, what became of subtlety?"

"So glad to see you, ive missed you so much"

"to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be human"

I love all the parts you've all be posting plus some parts from the songs Undertow and 4 degrees. I was listening to the new tool while having my heart rate monitored at the hospital last weekend and found out that my heart rate actually drops really low (low 40's) when I hear the parts you've mentioned (in Rosetta Stoned and others). I figured it would make it go up, because those parts make me feel so much more alert but I guess those parts actually relax me. Weird.

gets the shivers.... whew

I'd have to say the end of The Grudge and the last half of Lateralus will be unbeatable. The last minute of Jambi is gaining on them, though. The end of Pushit is there, too.

reflection at the end gets me, the guitar and vocals from 9:00 - till the end. Are amazing

agree with everything esle especially pushit. I swear that song gets me choked up at the end as well.. amazing, and lateralus as well

I have to say, I enjoyed this thread more than I am Rosetta Stoned.

"10,000 days in the fire is long enough, you're going home"

1. stinkfist - "something kinda sad about the way that things have come to be"
2. rosetta stoned - the part mentioned
3. aenima - "praying for rain"
4. lateralus - whole song
5. schism - cold silence
6. swamp song "why dont you get out while you cannnnnn"
7. prison sex "i have found some kind of temporary sanity"
8. 10000 days "give me my wings"

I sink into my chair when i listen to "4 Degrees". It brings me to places i have only been when i was not in my own mind. Damn i sound nuts.......

Sinking deeper, it brings me closer.

#1 of all TOOL songs, "I'll keep digging til I feel something."
#2 "there's no love in fear"

The rest in no particular order:
Eulogy... "To ascend you must die...good bye!"

Bottom... "I'm dead in-siide!"

Aenema... "Time to bring it down again...flush it down"

Third Eye... "so good to see you...prying open my third eye"

Opiate... (probably the most underrated) "My god's will...to rape you"

Grudge... "Saturn comes back around...choose to let this go"

Ticks and Leeches... everything after the soft interlude

10000 Days... "You're the only one who can hold your head up high...Judith Marie unconditional one"

I dont know, for me the "most euphoric moment" would have to be stretched out to cover an entire song, and that would probablly be the beginning of parabola as it transitions from parabol. Or, all of Third Eye.

... to anal sex.











Sorry.

Hahaha!

I love all of these. Great thread!

How about in Schism "between supposed lovers"

How about the section near the end of Aenema when Maynard starts to sing "Cuz I'm praying for rain"? That whole section is amazing, but when he sings "Mom please flush it all away" it gives me goosebumps, and its so awesome to hear someone speak of nature that way.

"I embrace my desire to
I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired to fathom the power, to witness the beauty,
to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
to swing on the spiral
to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human"

my 2 cents

Agreed! My personal favourite Toolgasm "dont you fucking lie!"

The Patient

Oh so many...

One i really like though is near the end of stinkfist. How the vocals and music just complement each other ... espeically the drums, seems to have emotion them selves.

"Somthing kind of sad about ..."

Chillz. :)

Completely agree! The entire song is my "most euphoric Tool moment ever", but the line "I must pursuade you another WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY" stops me dead in my tracks every fucking time.

I also like the deviation in verse they take in "fetch me the spirit, the son and the father" in 10,000 Days.

I also feel the line "Judith Marie, unconditional Oooooonnnnnneeee" from 10,000 Days is up there on the euphoria meter.

God I needed this. I'm now as excited as could be after reading this thread. I completely agree with everything everyone has posted especially "Cuz I'm praying for rain..." part in aenema. I think the end part of Bottom where he screams

"Dead INSIIIIIIIIIDE!!!"

and follows with

"Hatred, weakness, and guilt keep me alive
at the bottom"

takes the cake for me.

My favorites

Pushit towards the end when Maynard sings,
"If when I say I might fade like a sigh if I stay, you minimize my movements anyway, I must persuade you another way" (and Danny does those sweet fills in between the phrases)

Rosetta Stoned
"Strapped down, my bed, feet cold--eyes red" (badass vocals)

Third Eye (Salival)
"So good to see you once again....."
and when he yells the "We came out to watch you play, WHY'RE you running away?"

those moments give me goosebumps, the epitome of an inspiring song.

The coda of Lateralus always leaves me shivering.

BARELY BEAT ME TOO IT! I realized this part of the song riding home in the car today. Its fucking incredible. It like made me get goose bumps like crazy and tear up a lil. For some reason I have a feeling it took Maynard real guts to say this. I can't descrive why... Its just incredible to realize the power behind these words. It by far is my favorite Tool quote of all time. Period

... "overwhelmed..."

fucken oath! in my opinion, the best part of the latest album, although i've only given it a superficial listening at this stage...

One moment that i dont think has been mentioned, which i think is very climatic.. Parabola"

"chance to be, alive and breathing.."

I reckon thats one of the most important lines of Lateralus.. the emotion he pours into that.. gets me everytime.

a few of mine:

"must keep reminding myself of this" - when the high backup vocals come in
"i'm praying for rain... i'm praying for tidal waves"
"swing 'round the spiral of our divinity and still be a human"
"46 and 2 are just ahead of me"

and of course "between supposed lovers... between supposed brothers"

The end of Parabola.

really cool thread, btw

The climax on Crawl Away. H comes close.

Yah, dat is good.

My favorite is the instrumental in Lateralus. Bass enters in a 3/4, drums counter the rhythm in 5/4. Vocals follow the guitar with slurring intervals and both vocals and guitar in 4/4. I enjoy honing in on just the drums. During the 5/4 part, when he switches to the open hat and bass drummmmmmmmmmmmm. yeah.

So what is everyone's most euphoric Tool moment ever?[/QUOTE]


Standing in Knee deep mud at Easern Creek in 95 for the Alternative Nation Festival. Front and Centre with my 3 best mates seeing Tool for the first time.

Hands Down.

transition from intermission to jimmy.

"you lied" you liiiiiiieeeeeeeeeddd!!

maynard's dick.

the end of "no quarter" is awesome too.

another one has to be the part around 8:14 in 10,000 Days (Wings Part 2) where maynard sings "you are the light the way that they will only read about" along with the high and lows of the rhythm is fuckin incredible. the changes and matches of his voice with his other band members is perfection defined. and the part that follows only takes you higher...

rock on.

Great thread, it may just send me on a Tool listening spree!

I'll try and add some which haven't been mentioned.

Vicarious - "Stare like a Junkie, into the TV, Stare like a zombie.." - Adam's guitar kicks in, and when Maynard sings Zombie, he adds some sweet backup vocals.

Again, in Vicarious - Just after "Devour to survive, so it is, so it's always been", The last line of the bar before Maynard goes in to "We all feed...", when Adam goes to a few higher notes on the guitar. (The part I'm talking about is at around 6:20).

The Pot at about 4:12 (already mentioned).

Rosetta Stoned - "Can't remember what they said... to... me...."

Aside from that, pretty much everything has been covered.

so many tool songs have them, my favorite would have to be at the end of pushit, but i havent seen any1 mention opiate, as in "we both want to rape youuuuu" that part creeps me out every time

way too many to posts

must
keep
reminding
myself
of
this
