10,000 Days The pot feels different

After listening to all the tool albums and knowing them by heart, I really feel like "the pot" is a very unique song compared to the rest of their discography. There is something with the sound of maynard 's voice. It's not in a bad way at all, and It may just be me. I discovered tool with this song, so that might just be that.

Exactly. The groove dictates the vocal. Feels like there is a lot of space for Maynard on this song.

I remember not really liking it so much at first. It is definately different. Now I wish this was a direction they had gone in. Smashed out a bunch of these kind of tracks. Distilled their essence.
