Aenima: A fraudulent, boring, and juvenille album. 17%

If you went back into the late 90's/early 00's and asked me what my favorite bands were, I would have gladly answered Tool and Rage Against the Machine. Back then, I thought both bands were such … more

A Quick Tip by Count_Orlok_22

Absolutely my favorite song by Tool. "Forty Six & 2" is heavy, melodic, full of unique rhythm changes, and great lyrics. The lyrical content touches upon Jungian psychological archetypes, … more

A Quick Tip by Count_Orlok_22

Without a doubt, my favorite album of the '00s. Tool's sound has progressed and evolved into something deeply philosophical, complex, dark, and meditatively brilliant. With terrific musicianship, unusual … more

Schtinky reviewed Tool: Undertow. November 20, 2008

Rock doesn't have to thrash to be exceptional

After their short 6 song debut CD "Opiate", Tool got the exposure they needed to come up with Undertow, my favorite of the four Tool CD's. Definitely rock, Undertow is still a moodier, mellower CD than … more

Divine.

_Lateralus_ reconciles the division between within & without, self & other, body & mind, heaven & earth and brings them into perfect harmony.

Vaya con Dios.

_Lateralus_ defies any description one can muster with the English language. German would be a better choice, but even then one must inevitably find the words to be failing. This is the 21st century's … more

THE progressive masterpiece to kick off the 21st century.

You do not listen to this album...you surrender yourself to it. The experience of Lateralus penetrates deeper than the brain -- it is deeply spiritual and uplifting. Sonically, the dark sound works powerfully … more

Pull me under.

As a progressive rock fan who entered Tool's world with Lateralus, I've been collecting their albums in reverse order. It's pretty strange going from Lateralus (their most progressive) to Opiate (their … more

A modern milestone.

Tool is one of the few bands that can indulge in artistic excesses and still retain tremendous commercial success, which I think is kind of strange. And while I say "excesses," a term usually chained … more

Rich and challenging.

I'd always figured Tool was a lame "nu-metal" band with reams of angst and minimal talent.However, this album had become the focus of a discussion among progressive metal fans whose opinions I highly … more
