Not sure about all history, but on the Tool album Lateralus there is two-track piece Parabol and Parabola. Parabol is quiet, atmospheric, and establishes a certain guitar line, then transitions to Parabola with this huge drop that turns the quiet little guitar line into an enormous crushing riff. You can't not crank it.

I know exactly what you're talking about, I stand there with my fingers on the knob, giving it little turns up and up and up and boom! up to 11.

That album is a religious experience

Reflection was my catharsis song for a long time.

Would turn the lights off, play it on my 360 with the full screen visualizer, and just relax.

If we're doing those then I would like to suggest Suicide Note parts 1 and 2 by Pantera.

Tool has lots of great drops for sure…Parabol/a is a good one tho

As a tool fan I think it’s slightly overrated, at least when put beside most of their other songs, just my feel
