Eulogy is a show case for Maynard’s talents. The singing pushes the boundaries of his vocal cords. I’m yet to hear a good live bootleg where Maynard really nails this – those high notes are just too high to hit consistently. And the lyrics are extremely quotable. Where you look at them as a reference to Bill Hicks, L Ron Hubbard or someone else, it’s easy for many of us to associate with them, and I’m sure for most of us hard to not sing along with!

Musically the track features a drawn out intro, as well as some tasty riffs which complement the catch vocals nicely. A worthy entrant to my top 10 list…

In fact I dispute that Triad is really part of the same song at all, except for the fact that Tool say so. It's nothing like the other two.

Okayyy let's argue with the guys that WROTE THE FUCKING SONG. Not to mention the fact that Reflection leads right into Triad.

You mean the band you keep claiming lie to us all the time?

** Why are "Disposition", "Reflection", and "Triad" all linked together on the back cover?
They were originally all conceived as one song, but ultimately broke into three separate tracks. They never had any collective title, however.

If I were to do a top 10 it would be something like:





Aenima

Lateralus

Third Eye

Stinkfist

The Grudge

Pushit

Rosetta Stoned 7. Eulogy

Schism 8. Hooker with a Penis

Flood 9. Jambi

Eulogy 10. Flood

Nicely of course.

That's one of the main things I remember of seeing Tool the first time, Danny's bass drum at the beginning absolutely shook the SEC.

I missed that show, but was at the show the night after. Small part of me died when I heard they played Eulogy the night prior...
