As a long time fan of TOOL, I must say that Opiate and Undertow where missing something. That something was Justin Chancellor. When Justin left Peach and joined TOOL, he brought a unique style and sound all his own. Justin (bass) and Danny (percussion) work incredibly well together to achieve an amazingly complicated rhythm section, second to none. These two often play in different time signatures, which can be very tough to do. Adam (guitar) and Maynard (vocals) round out the four. Adam brings stirring sounds and melodies into the mix, that accent wonderfully what the others are doing. Maynard steps out of his comfort zone and becomes more personal in his lyrics, while trying new local techniques. Overall, a must have!
Okay...I know you may not all agree but I'm less than thrilled with the Tool "demise" since A Perfect Circle came into being but I still gotta give this band all time status props. This album is consistently insane...how can any twisted fan NOT love: Eulogy, Fourty Six & 2, Hooker With A P*nis, Pushit! I mean how many albums do you know that can carry off something like Mssg. to Harry Manback so beautifully??? This album deserves about 1000 listens and then a re-purchase. It's that good.I just can't say much more about Tool than...if they don't go straight through to your soul and rip it out,abuse it, chew it up, stain it and give it back to you weak and begging for more....then DON'T listen. "You've claimed all this time that you would die for me. Why then are you so surprised when you hear your own eulogy?"Read full review
I bought a new copy on cd had cassette version years ago.this is the best Tool album half of these songs were on rock radio in the late 1990's the best album the band put out my favorite or there albums!

Very good album; wish there were more bands like them now days, the professionalism and talent of Tool is hard to find in most metal or whichever genre Tool really falls into; they certainly have a unique sound of their own.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
First off, I am a new Tool fan, and quickly becoming a fanatic. I personally love the beats and rythms from Danny Carrey. He is an insparation to me. Maynard James is my absolute favorite vocalist and he delivers agian a stunning proformance. For me I love music, tool has different music that no one else cam mimick. I really like the lyrics having such a down to earth tone to it. One thing I don't usually appriciate in my music is profanity. While this cd is full of it, that is just their style. But they are incredible and this cd along with Undertow helped define them. I bought it because there is so much I can learn musically. I am a musician and I like anything thing different.
