 | | Everything about Tool's fourth album is an experience, starting with the packaging, which consists of liner credits printed on a translucent plastic sleeve over the CD and a booklet that layers anatomical representations atop one another--the first page pictures musculature and blood vessels; the next, bones; the third, internal organs; and so on. |
 | | On their first full-length album (Undertow), the band spewed forth a large quantity of cathartic regurgitation, mostly on a "personal" level - telling tales of abuse, religious fraud and personal anguish. |
 | | They still maintain the aggressive intensity found on their previous albums (as well as that distinct hypnotic, mysterious aura they always possessed), but, this time around, there seems to be a feeling of hope and salvation that most Tool fans probably thought could never have been achieved. |
