A band releases an album called "Fear Inoculum" on August 30, 2019 and nobody pays any attention?
Of course nobody paid attention.
TOOL always announces disaster and is poo poo'd as just one of those white guy bands from the 1990's.
However, they called it with Ænima, predicting the "be famous or die trying" mentality that grew in the early 2010's and became a full blown cancer in the 2020's.
Tool Fans
Erotica's Copypasta
To be fair, you have to be deeply immersed in the world of Tool to understand the song "The Pot." The lyrics are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of the metaphysical and philosophical concepts that Tool explores, most of the meaning will go over a typical listener's head. There's also Maynard James Keenan's introspective outlook, which is deftly woven into his vocal delivery - his personal philosophy draws heavily from spiritual alchemy, theosophy, and other esoteric teachings, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the spiritual and emotional depth to truly appreciate the complexities of these lyrics, to realize that they're not just catchy - they say something deep about LIFE.
As a connoisseur of Tool, I can confidently say that only the most devoted and perceptive can comprehend the connection between "The Pot" and the snail video. The imagery of the farmer's tears causing the plants to grow, and the eventual lifting of the house by the giant snail, is a clear representation of the pain and growth one experiences in life. The way the farmer's suffering leads to the creation of something beautiful yet overwhelming ties in seamlessly with the themes in "The Pot." It's a powerful allegory, and only those who truly grasp Tool's work can appreciate it.
And yes, by the way, I DO have a snail video-inspired tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the spiritually awakened eyes only - and even then, they have to demonstrate that they're as deeply connected to Tool's music as I am (preferably more) beforehand. Nothing personal, kid.
