Each song denotes a certain comment on not only the macro-scale, society at large, but also on the micro-scale, an individual’s perception of their place in whatever reality they inhabit. Many Tool fans consider this album to the creative-pinnacle or the essential Tool-release for even the most haphazard of music fanatics. Opening with Stinkfist, a song that many consider to be a Tool-staple & closing with the mammoth Third Eye, also considered to be a staple, this album is as relevant today as it was in the mid-1990’s.

Label: BMG Music / Zoo Entertainment / Volcano Entertainment It’s not a picture disc, and the front cover has none of the holographic qualities of the original CD version. The artwork for this album is nothing special. Although I was a big fan of this album when it was first released I wasn’t into vinyl collecting at the time, so I don’t own a copy. I am not all that keen on paying $200 + on ebay to get one. What can I say about this album on vinyl? Well I wish I owned a copy, that’s for sure.
