Favorite Tool Album (lyrics, country, metal, punk, rock)

Can someone confirm if they've seen one of these anywhere before. Look at the back of the Opiate cover, I've never heard about one like that.

Looks kinda iffy, if you'll look at the back cover there is neither a barcode nor a BMG logo, the mention of which is kind of strange too because BMG probably doesn't even own the rights to that record.

So I don't know. I wouldn't buy it, but that's just me.

He does have 100% approval rating though.

It could be a Japanese import or something.

I`ve got a few E.P.s with extra live bonus tracks on them or special releases from there.
Also in japan it`s not uncommon to have all the infomation about the product on a piece of paper wrapped around the cellophane which would have been taken off when it was opened which would explain why there`s no record company details on the CD itself.

^ True, speaking of Japan, I found this and wondered what it was as Wikipedia gave it no mention. Soon found out it was only released in japan. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...px?id=71676254

Oh the 100% means nothing really, it's just how well all his other auctions went, not all of which were "rare" musical items eather. Though he does have that nice vinyl of Lateralus up for sale at the moment.

I probably won't buy it, as I've never even heard of an Opiate like this. Well that and come closing time it will be too dare.

Well, I've never heard Aenima, Salival or 10,000 days, So I'm not voting on this yet. My favourite so far is Undertow, though.

I can't decide between aenema or lateralus.
They're both great.

Definately Lateralus... but Aenima gets bonus points for Third Eye

AEnima is their best album. I saw them about a month ago and I was so happy that they still played some older stuff. I hate when bands only play the new stuff. It bores me.

My favorite Tool album is Ænima followed closely by Lateralus though. Ænima's got some of my favorite Tool tracks including 'Stinkfist', 'jimmy', and 'Pu****'..though I prefer the live version of 'Pu****' off Salival.
Lateralus comes in very close for me too though. That album has outstanding tracks as well..'Disposition', 'The Patient' and 'Ticks and Leeches' are some of my favorites off that particular album.

Unfortunately I have not seen Tool on any of their recent tours for 10,000 Days. The one time I was suppose to go see them, Maynard fell sick and my show as postponed. Anyway, I did catch them during their Lateralus tour about four years ago and they were beyond great! They didn't play too many songs off their previous albums but we did get a chance to hear nearly all of the Lateralus album live..minus 'The Patient' and 'Ticks and Leeches'. Great band.
