This song really picks up at around 8mins 12secs i think, probably my favourite part of the album i'd have to say.

Overwhelmed is what you would be
If placed in my position.
Such a heavy burden now to be the one.
Born to bear and read you all the details of our ending.
To write it down for all the world to see.
But I forgot my pen.
Shit, my bad again. Typical.

yep, there's a pretty big melodical hook there...it's what makes the song great, to me (the way that tool throws epic melody in their songs right after a slower part)

It is very cool, reminds me a lot of the part i love about H.

listen to 6:45 of right in two. Listen to those drums, danny pounding that double bass, with that incredibly awesome distortion on the guitar.

Top 5 parts of album [[IMO]]-

1) 6:45 - right in two
2) 6:48 - Vicarious
3) 5:07 - 10,000 days
4) 8:12 - rosetta stoned
5) 4:00 - Jambi (talk box is always kick ass)

Yeah sry this is kind of off the topic of the song, but eh, you said this was your favorite part of the album so i figured id lay down how i felt.

I think that is one of my favorite all-time Tool segments. It just works so well and sounds so great. Agreed, my favorite moment of the album. And the bass in the background is just vicious.

Yeah. The lyrics are really powerful, like the speaker realizes the burden (he thinks is) placed on him, delivering the message and whatnot. I love it when Tool slow down a song like this. It really does fit well.
