the first thing i wan't to bring up is the tattoo on maynards back.
for those who don't know it is a personalized kundalini. (if you've never heard of that goto this link
http://www.crystalinks.com/kundalini.html
1st page. downward spiral- outer energy enters the body during meditation passing through the head and diriectly into the kundalini.
flaming eyes- representing the chakras, notice that the enegy connects to the heart chakras located over the sternum. right at the point of the kundalini.
2nd page. the physical body-
3rd page. the glowing around the body is the aura. the energy given off by the body.
the crown/halo/geometry- not quite sure which they are trying to portray but either way the significance is the sacred geometric symbol. though i'm not very familiar with all of the symbols i do know that symbols made of straight lines are male symbols and curved are female. maybe symbolizing the masculine being encompassed by the feminine
the ring of eyes- i think this represents the outside spirits watching over him, possibly the collective unconcious?
4th page. orb in throat- i think that the orb in the throat represents the voice of the album or the voice of tool. with the first look you see the pentacle which to a witch or magician the pentacle is symbolic of the mysteries of creation and spirit.
but the pentagram or upside-down five pointed star also known as the goat of mendez is a symbol of the occult/black magic/satanism. so in the sense it is the duality of the of good and evil within the person and within the album.
5th page. GOD- the significance of god in the brain ties with reflection in that you will come to find that we are all one mind capable of all that is imagined and all concieveable.
6th page. fibbonacci spirals and cross/flower- i think this is the symbol of pure energy or the spirit spiraling outward never ending echoing through eternity.
i think this is by far the greatest cover for the greatest most in depth album of all time.
