adam's guitar tone on undertow was a bit weak compared to the wall of sound he has now, but its still a great cd. i could see the undertow era tool hanging out with alice in chains...
It isn't as experimental as they would later be as a band, but I think even in '94 they already had their own sound. I think of Undertow as thick and gritty. So damn good. I always put it on and just let it play whereas other albums there are songs that I will occasionally skip. And besides, Undertow has Flood. Underrated? hard to say. I don't know what the general consensus is.....but I know its a great album.
