TOOL - Schism

Schism by TOOL Song Info

"Schism" is a song by American alternative metal / progressive metal band Tool. It was the first single and music video from their third full-length album, Lateralus. In 2002, Tool won the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance for the song. "Schism" was released as a DVD single on December 20, 2005. The DVD contains the music video, dual-commentary by David Yow, and a remix by Lustmord. "Schism" is known as a prime example of Tool's use of complex rhythms and changing meters. An extended version of the song is performed live. Song meter A possible analysis of the meter changes is found in the August 2001 issue of Guitar One magazine. As transcribed by Adam Perlmutter, the song starts in 5/4 for one measure followed by 21 measures of 6/4 (or 5/8 and 7/8 alternating), up to the first interlude, which is a bar of 3/8, three bars of 13/8, and a bar of 10/8. (This can be also interpreted as four 13/8 bars, but played with a 3/8 upbeat.) The next verse is eight bars of 6/4 followed by another interlude that fits the same pattern as the first. The next section is four bars of 6/4 followed by one bar of 11/8. Another eight-bar verse in 6/4 follows, with an interlude containing the same as before, except the final 10/8 bar is replaced with an 11/8 bar setting up the middle section, which is four bars of 7/4 before settling into a pattern of alternating 12/8 and 15/8, one bar each, twelve times. Following this, there are three bars of 4/4, a bar of 2/4, and four bars of 4/4 setting up another section, which is two bars of 9/8 followed by a bar of 10/8, that pattern again, a single bar of 9/8 followed by a 13/8 bar. This leads to an alternating set of 9/8 and 5/8, appearing four times before a bar of 9/8 and a bar of 6/8. Near the end, there is a 6/4 meter for eight bars, followed by eight bars of 4/4 to end the song. In all, the song changes meters 47 times. The band has comically said that the song is in "6.5/8".

- So good.

Love it.

- Masterpiece

Just get it and listen to it.

- It’s Tool, what else needs to be said!

If I had to choose my favorite Tool album, Lateralus would be it. Although every album is my favorite. This album was released when I was 18, fond memories. Every song is passionate and connects to me on a spiritual level like no other band has ever done before. I just don’t have the words to describe what their music means to me I can only tell you to support them and buy this and all their albums. I’m so glad they finally released their catalog to digital and streaming services! It’s about time!

- They’ll triangulate this position really really soon

FINALLY!!

- Epic

Album

- Utterly Breathtaking

While Tool’s other three albums are masterpieces in their own right and deserve the endless praise and adoration they have received, Lateralus is truly a once in a lifetime album. There is simply no other album like it. Very few bands and albums rival it in terms of beauty, philosophical breadth, and technical creativity. As the title to this review states, this album is simply stunning and must be experienced to truly understand why it will be remembered for decades to come as the benchmark for progressive rock/metal and for popular music in general.

- It’s finally here!!!

This album just straight up defines how amazing Tool really is.

- Tool

Tool

- TOOL

TOOL

- Long time coming....

Guess not even Tool can keep fighting the streaming age.

- Tool at their best!

Unconventional yet riveting.

- TOOL HAS ARRIVED.

This is life. TOOL is life. You don’t live your life. TOOL lives your life. There is a song for everyone. EVERY SONG PULLS YOU IN ON EVERY ALBUM. THERE IS NO SONG YOU SKIP. GO. LISTEN. BE.

- The goat

One of the greatest albums and bands of all time

- Masterpiece

This might be one of the greatest albums ever. Plug in and listen. Been waiting 13 years for the next masterpiece.

- The best TOOL in the shed

One of the greatest albums of all time. Peel the layers back one at a time and enjoy this spiritual journey

- Exceptional

Spiral out. No need to say more.

- Iconic!!!!

Finally 😭

- Wow

Talk about spiraling outside!

- Catalyst

Just listen. Enjoy. And use this music to help you accomplish or attain something. This is what Tool is about.

- Tool contains music

This was very good. I like the song with the guitar.

- I can’t believe it

I’ve been waiting so long

- Finally

Its stunning

- The best album of all time

This album is the pinnacle of music. Nothing else even comes close Every word and note is a masterpiece.

- Possibly the best album of all time

Possibly the best album of all time

- Absolute masterpiece

Amazing

- Fire

Pure fire

- Cohesive, An Album Full of Continuity

This is Tools finest album. Starting with the opening song, The Grudge - which I feel is the most brutal song on the album - sets the tone and from there it’s blast off. Lateralus is precise and calculated, literally and figuratively. Each song is cohesive and is a precursor to the next. I agree with one reviewer who said listening to the full album in sequence is a must. While Aenima does give you the luxury of skipping around if you wish, Lateralus is not batch of songs compiled into an album. It’s meant to be listened to as a whole. It’s one of those albums you can get lost in.

- The best thing ever

This record is perfection

- My personal favorite Tool album

Undertow was a great debut LP, and Ænema is one of the most amazing records ever. But Lateralus speaks to me and continues to speak to me. It is so intimate and spiritual and timeless!

- Mandatory Listening

This album is one of the greatest rock albums of all time. An utter masterpiece that takes multiple listenings to contemplate and understand. It’s mind-bending, beautiful, frantic and chaotic, all while awakening something inside each listener. You don’t listen to Tool; you experience Tool.

- Lateralus

Super progressive Tool.

- Stunning

Musical geniuses. Best I’ve ever heard!

- Tool

About time

- Nothing like it

Best album ever

- 🤘

Best album of all time

- Brilliant

When introduced to Tool, I was advised to start with Opiate and hit the rest in order. I started with Opiate and went to Hastings to get Undertow. Well, they didn't have it so I bought this one. When I heard Opiate, I thought the band had an interseting dynamic to their sound, but I wasn't overwhelmed with them. When I put on the headphones and heard the opening notes of The Grudge, I nearly fell off of my sofa! I was blown away that they had progressed to.....THIS! I listened all the way through it and all I can think of is shock and awe! Absolutely amazing album beginning to end! If I had only one album to introduce someone to Tool, it would be this one!

- Masterpiece

Amazing album start to finish.

- Awesome

No words can describe how happy I am... I’ve listen to this album twice already

- Lateralus

Perfection 2.0

- Finally 🖤

Been waiting forever! 🤘

- Lateralus

Nothing sounds like this.

- Adam Jones

One of the most underrated guitarists of all time

- Tool Rocks!!!

I have all of their albums but so awesome to finally be able to listen on Apple Music whenever

- YES!!

Good call, Tool! I lost my CD collection that had your entire collection in it. Thank you.

- Incredible

Overthinking, overanalyzing separates the body from the mind. I bought this CD the day it came out in 2001 and it is still the best album, in any genre, I've ever heard.

- Best Tool Album to date

This is a masterwork and a must have for any fan of progressive, metal or music in general. Songs like Schism, Parabola, and Lateralus offer several layers of complexity with smooth transitions coupled with perfect timing.

- Perfect

Perfect

- FINALLY!!

This album is a true masterpiece. Let go and spiral out....

- 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
