21. Tool — Schism

Tool are Maynard James Keenan (vocals), Adam Jones (guitar), Justin Chancellor (bass), and Danny Carey (drums), formed in Los Angeles in 1990. Lateralus (2001) is their third studio album — an ambitious concept record built around the Fibonacci sequence. "Schism" is track 5: 6:47 at 107 BPM, in Am. It won the Grammy for Best Metal Performance in 2002. The song concerns the breakdown of communication in a relationship and the possibility of repair. Keenan's vocal here is quieter and more searching than most Tool material.

Placement: Closes the show. The Maynard James Keenan thread that began with A Perfect Circle ends here. Six minutes and forty-seven seconds — a slow, deliberate ending. The room goes out on something that resolves.
