UNDERTOW is an example of nimble heavy metal in the angtsy/artsy tradition of Jane's Addiction. Tool favors medium tempos, which gives several of the group's songs a modern-day Black Sabbath feel, but fortunately lead singer Maynard James mostly steers clear of the usual quasi-operatic yowling favored by most metal frontmen--he's a remarkably expressive singer in a genre not usually so noted. As for the band's world-view, it's pretty much summed up in the unsentimentally named "Prison Sex": "Do unto others, what has been done to you."

Recorded at Grand Master Studios, Hollywood, California.

Tool: Danny Carey, Paul D'Amour, Maynard James, Adam Jones.

Additional personnel: Henry Rollins (vocals).

Spin (10/03, p.107) - "...One of the least likely MTV smashes of the grunge era, and one of the most enduring..."
Entertainment Weekly (5/28/93, p.66) - "...What puts this L.A. band a notch above the rest are better songs and the hints of vulnerability in singer Maynard James Keenan's voice..." - Rating: A-
Entertainment Weekly (12/31/93, p.116) - Ranked #10 in Entertainment Weekly's list of `The Best & Worst Records Of 1993' - "...[a] gristle-free slab of clenched-teeth metal...."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.53) - "Raw, scathing and often deeply troubled, UNDERTOW is the sound of the tormented human soul..."

5 stars Unbelievable
I'm a little young to have been an original Tool fan. 10,000 Days was the first album I heard, and I liked the tracks until someone told me their first stuff was better. So I checked them out and wow, was my friend right. I had to buy every CD. This is probably my 2nd favorite album next to Lateralus, although each and every CD is worth buying. Don't settle for illegal downloads, the audio quality isn't nearly as good as the album itself! Trust me.
