Members ARES Posted September 28, 2005 Members Share Posted September 28, 2005 they are my favorite band so my opinion is extremely biased. if you want aggressive, opiate. if you want moody, undertow if you want art-rock, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mofopotomus Posted September 28, 2005 Members Share Posted September 28, 2005 I'll put in my vote for Aenima. That's my major image of Tool as a band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Apendecto Posted September 29, 2005 Members Share Posted September 29, 2005 Aenima is their best work. I love that albumb. Second place goes to Saliva. But good luck getting that one. Live 3rd eye is amazing. 3rd goes to Opiate, raw agressive 4th goes to Undertow very swampy, good stuff. 5th Lateralus. It's gotten a little less heavy my tastes. I was hopeing for Aenima 2. Honestly you can't go wrong. We'll see what their next albumb (comming soon) bring. Yo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sunburstbasser Posted September 29, 2005 Members Share Posted September 29, 2005 Yeah, except the new album has been "coming soon" since, oh, last NOVEMBER! Isn't it now scheduled for a February release? I only have Aenima and Lateralus. I prefer Lateralus overall to Aenima. Its one of my favorite albums of all time. It was my first Tool album as well.

Members gretschzildjian Posted September 29, 2005 Members Share Posted September 29, 2005 They're all good, but Aenima gets my vote for their best album, both musically and lyrically. In my opinion, every single Tool album evolves around a main theme (although views on outside world issues return on every album). These themes are as follows: Opiate: A view on the outside worldUndertow: Discovery and perception of the emotional {censored} inside a personAenima: Journey inside a person to deal with this {censored}Lateralus: Discovery of certain ways and insights to deal with this {censored} I didn't include Saliva as it's actually a compilation album providing nothing new. To truly understand the Tool albums lyrically, take notice of the different themes they represent. Start out with the one which theme appeals to you the most and work from there. Just my experience with listening to Tool. Have been a fan for about twelve years and Maynard's lyrics have been a guide and inspiration on more than one occasion in my life. Don't take everything he says literally though, but listen and judge for yourself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sunburstbasser Posted September 30, 2005 Members Share Posted September 30, 2005 I believe the tracks on Lateralus are also arranged in a Fibonacci sequence. The lyrics to the title track are Fib in syllables as well. With a little editing and changing of track placement, the album gets way cooler and somewhat scarier.

The lyrical sylables for Lateralus are Fibonacci or very close. Playing the songs in the alternate order is pretty cool too. I never found Die Eier Von Satan that seemingly complex, actually.

Members ARES Posted September 30, 2005 Members Share Posted September 30, 2005 to be honest, i've never played the tracks in the alternate order. maybe i should? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members megadan Posted September 30, 2005 Members Share Posted September 30, 2005 Aenima, Lateralus, undertow, opiate, all so good... also look up their live tracks after a while, namely the slow version of Pu{censored}, and a track called Spasm. And thier cover of Zeppelin's "No Quarter" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you must have skipped the track called "No Quarter" Zep cover, the track "You Lied" Peach cover, the live alternate version of "Pu{censored}" and the secret track "Maynard's Dick".Plus the other "nothing new" tracks are live versions of songs that are amazing, like "3rd Eye".
