For their third release, Tool explore the progressive rock territory previously forged by such bands as King Crimson. However, Tool are conceptually innovative with every minute detail of their art, which sets them apart from most bands. Make no mistake, this isn't your father's ock record. Sonically, the band has never sounded tighter. Long exploratory passages are unleashed with amazing precision, detail, and clarity, which only complements the aggressive, abrasive shorter pieces on the album. There is no compromise from any member of the band, with each of them discovering the dynamics of his respective instrument and pushing the physical capabilities to the limit. Topics such as the philosophies of Bill Hicks (eloquently eulogized in the packaging), evolution and genetics, and false martyrdom will fly over the heads of casual listeners. But those listening closely will discover a special treat: a catalyst encouraging them to discover a world around them to which they otherwise might have been blind. If these aren't good enough reasons to listen to Ćnima, then just trust the simple fact that Tool deliver the hard rock goods every time the band chooses to release something.

Though almost all of Tool's songs are hella long; Stinkfist, is a surprisingly short 5 minutes and ten seconds. I see Stinkfist as a wonderful presentation of two different horrible acts. The first and obvious FISTING actually fisting up 'til you are "shoulder deep within the borderline"...May I just say eww and ouch.The second I beleive to be the metaphor as most Tool songs have. Have you ever...

There are records you buy and listen to once. There are records you buy for just one song. There are records you buy and listen to often, you like it, go back to it, and you know a lot of the words. Then there are records that you buy that hid you over the head like an anvil. Records that you cherish, that you listen to every day. For a year and a half. These are ones you know the lyrics t...

I'm doing an essay for my 200 level Intro to Personalities (Psych) course, and I need some help.I'm trying to show that Carl Jung's Analytical Theory has heuristic value by applying it to pop culture today...as in film, tv and of course music. So of course I have to write about Tool's album Aenima and the song Forty-Six & 2, because of the use of the anima and shadow archetypes referenced thro...

Been listening to this particular one, like nonstop for a week now, Dunno why.What was it like to seeThe face of your own stabilitySuddenly look awayLeaving you with the dead and hopeless?Eleven and she was gone.Eleven is when we waved good-bye.Eleven is standing still,Waiting for me to free him byComing home.Moving me with a sound.Opening me within a gesture.Drawing me down and in,Showing me w...

First, if you have a problem with the "f" word, then you should not continue with this post. In fact, you're probably on the wrong web site. Not that we're just hear to cuss like sailors, but it does show up from time to time. So consider yourself warned. Having said that, I think this song by Tool has some of the most genius lyrics I've ever heard. They're raw and enraged, and beneath the ...
