The Tool Page: Opinion - View Single Post

To me this is their best album because it catches them between their raw beginnings (Opiate) and their fully developed sound (Aenima). There's a kind of raw innocence into the musical approach of Intolerance and Prison Sex, but later on, as the album draws to a close, the sound becomes more and more uncompromising and creepy, ending with the deeply disturbing Flood and the perverse, twisted Disgustipated. It also has the best intro of all time (Flood), the best use of acoustics in metal (4 degrees) and the best ending of an album (8 minutes of cockroaches followed by a mysterious and weird answering machine message).
It always strikes me that the end of every Tool album (including Opiate and Salival) leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth. They always end on a big Fuck You.
