Tool’s Ænima Wants To Flush It All Away?? Vocal ANALYSIS of Maynard James Keenan


My husband is a Tool Army member, without a shadow of a doubt. So yes, I have heard this song before (probably at the 2019 Tool concert I attended) but I’ve never done a deep dive. And what an experience it was. Let’s do more, shall we?

Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she analyzes Tool’s “Ænima” for the first time.

  • You're a TOOL fan! When you say those words you said about seeing their concert, made me melt. Maynard & the band make you just feel your hair breathing.

  • Yep, the song about flushing away L.A.

    Maynard begins with a whispered "hey hey hey hey" (×9). Near the middle he brings thst whisper back. At the end he get a bit more..aggressive? Angry? Disgusted? Violent with the "hey hey hey".
    Like he's calling upon attention…
    Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. HEY!! PAY ATTENTION!

    Something like that.
    Love your vids!

  • Whole album was worthy of a full listen-through on whatever psychedelics I could score back in the halcyon mid 90's

  • What's crazy to think is that the lyrics of this song is still politically and socially relevant today as it was when this album was released nearly 30 years ago. The lyric "Fuck your short memory" has never been more pertinent.

  • Please be part of my last reconstructive surgery. My final cleft reconstruction I pray compliments the foundational works of DR. RALPH MALLARD ????????❤

  • "Learn to swim" is not so much an 'f* u' as it is "we're already f*'d", which is why it's more (…?) than cursing could ever portray.

  • I loved Elizabeths comments on music therapy, facts! I am legally deaf and am so thankful that I can hear enough to still appreciate music. If I were a fraction more deaf I would go to raves and sit on the speakers, not hearing in stereo is a real pain in the ass but it has forced me to learn how to read lips, eyes and body language so in a way I pay more attention than most. Having your channel to analyze vocals is therapy to me also, good luck with the research and thank you for all you do.

  • Next time someone asks me what Tool sounds like I'll say "Like a fire breathing buddha." ???? that's awesome.

  • The @mjkeenan "growl" you are researching at the end of this song is literally the vocalisation of a plunger. Seriously. The last sounds in this song are a plunger trying to unclog a toilet. LA is exactly that. (I'm sure I am just another dumb TOOL fan digging in deep… But I'd love to be right on this one).

  • Been listening to this song almost my entire life. The tremolo part with the double bass still gives me chills every time

  • I recently saw a Drumeo video where Mike Portnoy had to learn a Tool song. It took hours and watching him trying to figure out the time signatures was like someone solving mathematical equations and putting together a puzzle. Very interesting.

  • Maynard is a hypocrite this was over 30 years ago why hasnt he done a follow up song in 2024 when it is millions times worse than then

    Reply
  • Yeah I don't get the Zen Style of Buddha from this, I get more the Asura from Sekiro, inspired by Japanese and Vedic Mythology. They are known usually as Demons or Evil Gods, ones who opposed the Devas or Benevolent Gods.

    Edit: Btw, I am a long time Maynard fan. Tool, APC and some Puscifer. I'm just going along with her thought process and adding my two cents.
