Comments:
Opiate is an enjoyable cd with excellent lyrics, as always with Tool. The lyrics are angry, vindictive and sarcastic.
Undertow is Tool's first full length album. The two songs here that got my attention are "Prison Sex" (which is an account of one Maynard James Keenan's most painful and disturbing childhood experience, boasting awesome basswork and a great time change toward the end of the song) and "Disgustipated", which really taps into the dark side of the terrible fate of farm animals that are about to be killed.
Aenima is a great album and highly recommended. If you want to buy an album by Tool, you must get this.
Lateralus is a long, complex album, with a running time near 80 minutes, and digesting the whole thing on first listen is hardly possible. Yet with challenges come rewards, and this album offers plenty of both.
