This is Tool's second album that was released a year after their debut was released. This is also their first full length studio album which is more compelling and darker than "Opiate". Maynard James Keenans' lyrics are much more complex than their debut and the songs are longer than "Opiate". Adam Jones guitar playing is heavier than that of "Opiate".

This is by far the best album I have ever heard! There is not one song on it that I don't like! If you don't already know, this is Tool's third album and their best album in their musical career. Maynard James Keenan is probably the best songwriter in our time talking about loss of feelings and emotions in the song "Stinkfist", talking about how he sees and feels about Los Angeles(listen to the lyrics to understand) in the song "Aenema",and talking about how he feels about being called a sellout by a fan in the song "Hooker with a Penis." The best song on the album is the song "Third Eye", which is at least thirteen minutes long. The song is so good that you don't even know that… Read more
