In terms of ranking / one's i've actually heard, I think my list would be something like this.

#1: 10000 Days
#2: Lateralus
#3: Undertow
#4: Aenima
#5: Salival

Number 3 and 4 tend to switch spots periodically.

I'd put mine as Opiate>Ænema>10,000 Days>Undertow>Laterelus>Salival

Salival is pretty unrewarding apart from a few tracks tbh, although admittedly it's been several years since I've heard it.

I think Undertow and Opiate are my favorites, after that they all tie

I've heard Salival a few times and it never was something i'd go back and listen to and say "oh man, that track is pretty good like that" etc. It's a neat album though. The version of Push It on that one is pretty awesome too.

^That track, Maynard's Dick, and Part of Me are all good ones, from what I can remember.

I still remember the show I saw a few years ago, they played pretty much everything you'd want them to play. They started with Jambi, went through 10000 Days a little more, went into Lateralus and Aenima, and then left the stage for about 10 minutes to come back and do a Vicarious encore. Honestly, I would pay as much as I did to see them live again. They put on a killer show.

I'm trying to make a sigil like the one Carey has in the loft. It's hard but I found a way to make a heptagram with a compass and a rule. Hard!

The song Reflection on Lateralus is definitely my favorite

Tool are pranksters.
April 1st is a Friday this year, and an already busy new release day.
Tool has previously done pranks on April 1st.
Tool should announce their new album for an April 1st release.
No one would believe Tool.
Tool should release a surprise album of either a) unreleased older material, or b) a thrown-together raw and not overthought album on said date.
Tool should then say "joke's on you" even though fans would be pleased with this unexpected material.
Tool should then surprise release new album the following week, on April 8.

I think you mean Death Grips.
