Favorite Tool Album (metal, pink floyd, Genesis, effect, track)

Twistershift · 07-12-2006, 10:25 PM

I voted Undertow only because Aenima has that filler. Take those away and it's just a touch over an EP, but, oh, what an EP. Undertow is solid music all the way through and "Flood" is in my top 3 favs. (Of course "46&2" and "H" are the other 2) Confused? Me too.

Not knocking it at all, don't get me wrong, it's just after so many listens, I now tend to skip those tracks is all.

I wouldn't call it filler because it has meanings. But it does lose it's novelty after about 5 listens. The technical/correct term is segue. If you take out all the segues Aenima is still a solid album. It comes out to about 66 minutes if you take em out.

^ yeah, and that is definatley not an E.P

Aenima has the two best Tool songs on it. But I like the overall Lateralus sound more.

Aenima has that kind of raw sound that they always had, and I love it to bits, but when Lateralus came out, it was so much sharper, and I thought the variation between the songs gave the album more character and body.

I love Salival's Merkaba, it's so eerie and ambient. It also has, imo, a better version of Pushit, and No Quater is my third favourite Tool track ever and it's a damn cover haha.

Meh, I like it a lot. I rate em like this, Undertow>Opiate>10,000 Days>Lateralus> AEnima.

and for those who don't already know there's a little secret track thing when you play Viginti trees and Wings for Marie in sequence at the same time as 10,000 days

Aenima > Lateralus > Undertow > Opiate > 10,000 Days

Merkaba · 07-12-2006, 11:11 PM

I rate them in the reverse order that they've come out, with the exception of 10,000 Days, which can go at the bottom. I like it, but it was seriously lacking the knockout punches.
