Editorial Review: Product Description: No Description Available Media Type: CD Artist: TOOL Title: AENIMA Street Release Date: 10/01/1996 Genre: HEAVY METAL Discount Shopping: With its heavy-duty distortion, weighty rhythms, and cynical lyrics, Tool is a heavy metal band for the '90s. Rather like Metallica circa ...And Justice for All, the sound is focused heavily on texture, with vocals and guitars layered one atop the other, and heart-pounding drums underlying everything. There's not a whole lot of variety on Tool's second full-length album--most of the songs start off fairly low-key, kicking into high gear for the chorus, and repeat--but Maynard James Keenan's distinctive voice, the prog-rock stylings over a heavy metal base, and a supremely unhealthy dose of vitriol make this the perfect album to bang your head to. --Genevieve Williams Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Another long and remarkable journey.Some how for some reason, this was the last Tool album to complete my collection... Don't ask me why... I've listed to "Aenima" 4 times now, but already I find it lives up to the hype surrounding it, just like "Lateralus" did. For newcomers: This is a GREAT Tool album to start with because it contains some of the best elements of Tool: the dark, gritty and somewhat bitterly juvenile "Undertow" as well as Tool's complex though provoking magnum opus that is "Lateralus". But beware, this isn't your ... Read More Rating: - Tool's Best WorkIf you've never heard of Tool, this is the album to listen to first. Tool is one of the best progressive metal bands of all time, my personal favorite on top of that. They're music is very well...mind-bending, whether that's bad, good, or just crazy, it's all what the listener decides. Not just the music, but the interesting tracks, like Ions, where all you hear is electrons charging. My personal favorite songs are Stinkfist, Eulogy, H, Jimmy, and 46 & 2. The rest of the album is ... Read More Rating: - Why is this forgotten?Stsrt to finish, this is fantastic piece of work. I put it up there with Stones (Sticky Fingers and Exile), Who (Who's Next), Zep (I, II, or IV). Not a bad track on the whole disk. A Landmark. We listen to this at work, and it is simply known as "The Album." Hey, Gus, what's next? I think I'll put on "The Album" again. Buy it. Rating: - AmazingAenima is one of my favorite Tool albums. It's just too amazing to put into words. Rating: - production masterpieceThe musical aspects of Ænima and the ritual "file under exercise**" have already been well-covered in the other reviews here. I'll cover an angle that I have never before read about this CD. When mixing a record, it is common practice to bring in recordings of other songs, sounds, or whatever to use as references and / or "ear-cleaners". This CD has become (for me at least) a Golden-Standard. The sound on it is SO well-produced that it serves as landmark; it not only sets ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
