Sure, this kind of music certainly has its place as a tool to ease stress and anxiety in our busy lives. But, in , the band Tool sought to offer us an alternate mode to more lasting inner change, a path paved with anything other than restful and peaceful sounds.
Frontman Maynard James Keenan once described the band's name in practical terms, something akin to a 'wrench', 'shovel' or 'match', amongst other things, and implored fans to use their music as means to inform or transform themselves. They had songs that referenced mathematical theorems, genome and molecular science, religion, esotericism and Jungian theory.
In anyone else's hands, delving into this territory would carry a high risk of coming off as pretentious or impenetrable. Loading player…. Scrobble from Spotify? Connect to Spotify Dismiss.

Parabola is sometimes paired with its predecessor Parabol. However, it tends to be the more remembered of the two. Subject-wise, it is interesting, seeing as how it is told from the perspective of someone who has come to the realization that their body is a vessel for their soul.

For proof, look no further than Sober, which is one of the simplest songs that Tool has ever released.

Something that might speak to its staying power. However, there can be no doubt about the fact that it is a great song. In this particular case, the 46 refers to the fact that humans tend to have 46 chromosomes. Tool has been known to explore unpleasant topics from time to time.
