Well said. Some of the tracks even recorded live! It is just the beginning of the mold that will eventually produce 10,000 days. Each album stands on its own and is a different part of their views and emotions. Opiate is raw, very raw.. but ALL of their albums are awesome in this same degree! We will never catch them in that moment or space again, when they wrote their music. It is different and says much a new each time. Great to have a time capsule of tool in this form. Amazing it is, yes? :)
