opiate, well it's no Ænima that's for sure. But that doesn't take away from the fact that it's still a highly effective album. I prefer this to all other albums besides Ænima. It showcases a young band with a lot of potential's first stage in their developement. Tool started off a lot more cynical and pissed off with a "poison tipped dart" aimed at organized religion this time. In conclusion "Opiate" would probably earn at least an 8/10 for me. It's the middle-ground between Undertow's more hardrock grooves and Ænima's sludge-rock frustration.
