Tool/Nightmare Fuel

• "Rosetta Stoned." Has The Narrator been abducted by aliens, or is he just doing the Mushroom Samba? Either way, it's really fucking scary. Listen to it stoned.
• Here's something "fun" to do: stay up until 3 am, then turn off all the lights and listen to Lateralus all the way through. By the time you get to "Faaip de Oiad", you will be paranoid beyond belief.
  • "Faaip De Oiad"'s sample comes from a phone call into the Art Bell radio show. Another band called The Faceless uses the exact same phone call in a song called "Planetary Duality".
• Tool songs fall under two categories, Mind Screw, or Nightmare Fuel. The best ones do both, with often incredibly disturbing results. Take for example, "Disgustipated" from Undertow.
  • The opening track on Undertow is just as bad. It's supposed to sound like someone running out of oxygen underwater.
• "Viginti Tres" from 10,000 Days is another good addition to the list of creepy last tracks.
• "Prison Sex." While the original song is certainly more than enough to qualify for Nightmare Fuel, it's the music video that is truly disturbing. Try watching it without feeling disturbed.
• Listening to "Die Eier Von Satan" for the first time can be intimidating: The incredibly dissonant guitar noises, backward drums, and vocals in a Hitler-esque German voice. Until you find out what he is saying in English: it's just a German recipe for hash cookies. On top of that, the title in German may also mean "Satan's Balls".
  • What about the interlude "Cesaro Summability"? God. It opens with a bunch of Ear Rape baby screams, then the whole rest of the "song" is made up of dissonant guitar noises and talking.
• The music video for "Schism". Words alone fail to do it justice.
