Tool released this great cd in 1996 and it still sounds fresh to me all these years later. The problem with Tool for myself is that 20% of each album is wasted sound effects or short songs that do little to help the overall album. To often Tool gives us short wasted spaces such as "Useless Idiot". Otherwise their music is top motch. Classics here are "Stinkfist", "Eulogy", "Forty 6 & 2", and "Pushit" among others. Not a 5 star Tool album and a little less good than LATERALUS, but still well worthy of a 4 star prog metal rating on this site.
