Re: is the album undertow underrated?

this is an interesting topic for me. undertow used to seem under par, and it was not one of my favorite tool cd's. but recently, i really gave it a good listen, its been a long time coming, and now i love it. i don't know if its just the fact that i love tool, or that unlike the other albulms nothing grabbed me right away. my answer is that this albulm is not sub par, in fact its much better than i ever thought possible. please, if you like tool and don't like undertow, give it another couple of listens. i'm telling you if songs like: undertow, bottom, crawl away, swamp song and 4 degrees don't begin to play in your head long after you stoped listening then maybe you should start questioning how much of a tool fan you really are.
this is really some of tool's most raw work (other than opiate), its before they were the polished entity they are now, and its nice to know where such genius originated from.
