Takes a true Tool fan to appreciate this IMO
If you're new to Tool, I personally would say not to get this as your first or second album. I'll admit, it took me quite a few listens to actually fall in love with this album. I'd first buy Lateralus. But anyway, it takes some patience to love it. Some key tracks would be, Undertow, 4 Degrees, Sober, and Swamp Song. .


When my soul was dark
I can honestly say this was good in 1993, but would I listen to it in 2009? who knows? I used to have this album, but never got past listening to "Sober", and "Prison Sex" the 2 songs that were popular down here in Florida. I thouroughly enjoyed listening to this. Other songs to commment about are: "Swamp Song", "Undertow", and "Disgustipated". This was underrated, and dismissed rather quickly. I feel it's time to reintroduce this to the radio. .


Captain crunch
. 3 1/2

In many ways a precursor to what is largely considered their masterwork, Undertow simply does not have the melodic heft of its successor, but as far as stricter power-chord, crunch-driven affairs go, rarely had the language sounded so appealing, if repeating.


Tool
It is good for someone how enjoys thoughtful and deep lyrics, and likes a hard industrial/rock sound. I really like this CD.


Tool's first full length CD
It has it's on unique sound and feel to it. It's excellent, what else can I say? The sound is a bit more raw than their follow up albums, and I love that.
