Well someone already picked a song from this album, but Lateralus deserves two in here. I pick Schism by Tool. I will never forget the moment when I first heard the first single played on the radio. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing. It changed me forever. This whole album is a masterpiece.
Shall we do it? Let's do it...
What time signature is schizm in 🤣🤣
reply
Probably a weird one. Danny Carey is an alien.

It's become a running joke really for this track specifically as they alternate various time signatures throughout, sometimes in 5/8 sometimes in 7/8. It's a complicated mess of time signatures which is what makes it such an interesting track.
This is from Google:
Bars 1–2: 5.4, 4.4
Bars after 1–2: Alternating 5.8 and 7.8
First interlude: Alternating 6.8 and 7.8
Verse: Alternating 5.8 and 7.8
Next section: 4 bars of 6.4, then 1 bar of 11.8
Middle section: 3 bars of 6.8, then 1 bar of 9.8
"Between supposed lovers...": 3 bars of 9.8, 10.8, and 9.8, played twice
Final riff: 8.8
Ya see what I mean... Absolute complicated mess of time signatures. Awesome fun though.

So good. I think a lot of people struggle to enjoy tool be it's too complicated..I like music that takes a lot of work for me to integrate and feel. Tool is the best for that.

It can be a bit much and a little overwhelming at first but once you find the intricacies it's really really interesting music.
