"Tool are a tight little unit."

....as are all Tools albums, but this is special as its their first and much appreciated by me an OGT. Unlike Maynards buddy dressed in Vans and 501's and a Beastie T, I love absolutely everything they've done.

Arrived in good time, it's an amazing display of Tool's original flare and creativity. The quality of the recording is perfect, this album was recorded at the Sound City studio onto tape and then to Vinyl so absolutely no quality loss.

Brilliant LP

The sound is really good on vinyl. The fantastic art work which came with the cd is not on this vinyl. It's a plain sleeve inside with the tracks numbered. The bonus track on cd is not on this ep either. It's worth noting the negative aspects that might disappoint later. On the upside the drumming sounds incredible on vinyl. If you like Tool or alternative rock from the 90's it's a must. Maynard's introduction, need I say more?

Its Tool, so what's not to love?

👌👌👌

Love this album!

Sounds good, must have if you love Tool

super cd

TOOL is an incredible band with spectacular musicianship across the board. If you're sensitive to strong adult language, they might not be for you, but they do not use coarse language just for shock effect. The lyrics and ideas in TOOL's songs can leave you thinking deep thoughts forever - or they can help you get into a better mood or out of a bad one depending on how you interpret. I believe one of TOOL's primary intentions is to inspire listeners to open their minds and think for themselves. There are plenty of fans who idolize this group or specific members, especially "Maynard" James Keenan (MJK), the lyricist and lead singer, but I am not one of those fans. I believe MJK opposes the idea of listeners subscribing to his personal philosophies because we each have our own unique experiences, priorities, values, needs and wants. If you don't think and choose for yourself, you become a slave or mindless follower to the whims of whomever or whatever is feeding or forcing onto you their beliefs and their desires. Open your eyes and your other senses. Observe everything, and then think for yourself. Form your own ideas and opinions. Listen to others, but don't let them control you. If you happen to share same or similar beliefs with others, then you can connect through those commonalities, but there's also nothing wrong with being different and being fine with that. For me, TOOL suggests these kinds of independent thinking ideas, and they do so with spectacularly great music. As a group, I believe some of TOOL's strongest musical influences come from Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Deep Purple, Metallica, and other great rock and metal artists. In their own right, TOOL certainly influences many other artists.

OK !

Cd top, mas a única observação que tenho é sobre a embalagem o cd veio embalado em um papel fino quase uma folha de seda e dentro de uma caixa de papelão: porém eu acho que deveria ter sido embalado com plástico bolha pois é um produto frágil e não é barato.
