Customer Review: swampy
This was the first tool album i heard/bought, and I still recommend it as the best place to start for potential tool fans. To be honest, I’ve only heard one song from Opiate, so I can’t compare the two, but the artwork for Opiate puts me off investigating further. Anyway, listening to this 10+ years later, it still holds up as a rawer, rockier offering from a talented band. Swamp Song, Prison Sex, Intolerance and Undertow are classics, but the whole album deserves, as usual, to be played in it’s entirety. And seeing Swamp Song performed at London Wembley Arena last month was worth the admission alone.
Customer Review: The old future of progressive metal
This was the first tool album I owned. At first I thought it was “good”, but after you really listen to it you realise what a true masterpiece it really is. The whole album grows with you, each track compliments the others on the album. Melancholy lyrics combine with churning guitars, tight baselines and solid drum rhythm. I’ve heard this album referred to as progressive metal. It truely is. No bands from the nu-metal fold ome even close to the dark majecty that is tool. Listen to this album as a whole.
