The Fibonacci in Lateralus

xplson Says:

Nov 24, 2009 - Wow Maynard put the first few numbers of the Fibonacci sequence into the number of syllables in this shitty song. IT'S JUST A BUNCH OF FUCKING NUMBERS! Seriously, he could have used numbers from the phone book and it would have been pretty much the same thing. Tool has proved once again that they are a bunch of pretentious cocksuckers, Maynard's "songs" are shit, and their fans are all gullible idiots

Nov 24, 2009 - y so troll

TwoCows23 Says:

Nov 24, 2009 - Uh-huh. Just a bunch of numbers? I don't think so. These numbers are fucking everywhere, if you look hard enough. Not only that, but Tool is far from the most pretentious band on earth. At least they have a sense of humor.

Nov 24, 2009 - Me thinks anyone that hates Tool is either a moron or an asshole. Maybe both for you, kid?

Nov 24, 2009 - Along with Radiohead, Tool is a favorite of many pseudo-intellectual teenagers and faggots. They're a band which thinks that writing lyrics about lachrymology makes them artistic. The band, led by midget Maynard James Keenan, is known for their deep and insightful songs about enemas, fisting, Maynard's penis, and being raped in the ass by one's stepfather as a child, as well as their "highly technical" instrumentation.

Nov 24, 2009 - On closer examination, Tool's lyrics reveal that the band are really just a bunch of retards who read too much and should shut the fuck up. For better or worse, Tool's pretentious literary aspirations have not affected any Tool fans, whose literacy rate remains at a steady zero.

Nov 24, 2009 - Please explain how the reordered songs are put into a Fibonacci sequence...it looks more random than anything to me.

Nov 24, 2009 - haha. cute. lachrymology was a joke. hope you know that.

Nov 25, 2009 - Tool's music represents how music should be played...with whole heart and soul, and all your beliefs put into it, thats what makes them great.

ugandaplayer Says:

Everyone saying tool is retartedshit stops replying on this question...hm i wonder why... if this is bad music then all the other music is shit or below shitlike

Nov 25, 2009 - re arrange the tracks in this order 6. Parabol 7. Parabola 5. Schism 8. Ticks and Leeches 4. Mantra 9. Lateralus 13. Faaip de Oiad 1. The Grudge 12. Triad 2. Eon Blue Apocalypse 11. Reflection 3. The Patient 10. Disposition that way, every 2 tracks, with the exception of track 13 by itself, equals to the number 13. the tracks in this order gives the album an entirely different feel. each track moves directly into the next making it seamless, almost spiraling, as if the album is one song.

mrstone56 Says:

Nov 25, 2009 - God just shut the hell up.

mmobbo0 Says:

Nov 25, 2009 - Tries too hard to show it is "clever" imo..I'm sure a lot of bewildered teens will enjoy it tho and go "yeah, dats smart its a fibonnaacial thing" and feel part of a special "clever" group who gets it. Art huh

Orangturttle Says:

Nov 25, 2009 - 7:41 Thats what she said... :D

MeganMoshpit Says:

Nov 25, 2009 - maynard is smart as fuck.

KristenRea Says:

Nov 25, 2009 - Yeah, because there's too much intelligence in music these days. Oh wait, no there isn't so shut the fuck up. If the track ended up unlistenable then maybe you could say they're trying to hard, but it's a kick ass track even without taking into account the amount of thought that went into it. I'm just thankful that in an age when stupidity and the vacuous are celebrated, there's still some artists out there who know it's a GOOD THING to try new ideas and use their minds when creating their art

Nov 25, 2009 - Five-Step Guide to Making a Tool Album 1) Find and scan a bunch of blotter art. This will be most of your album art, as well as your cover. 2) Look some famous gimmicky math equations up on Wikipedia and proceed to tell all of your fans. 3) Rip some time signatures from Yes or Rush. 4) Whiny, nasal-y vocals about nothing in particular. 5) Profit!
