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..."

Tool Opiate CD  (1992) Extended Play

Undertow album
CD $10.39  4.5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Back in the early months of 1992, alternative rock was exploding. Radio and MTV had finally fully embraced the oft-dismissed genre, but the bands that were receiving most of the airplay were writing straightforward, raw punk-pop songs. After the breakup of Jane's Addiction, another Los Angeles band, Tool, satisfied fans looking for progressive art-rock with an alternative edge. Issued in March of 1992, Tool's debut six-track OPIATE EP showed that the new band was creating its own highly original sound. Half of the songs stretched over the four-minute mark, which signaled the epic-songwriting direction the band would explore further on such future releases as 1993's UNDERTOW and 1996's AENIMA. While the compositions on the debut aren't as ...

AENIMA was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Recording Package. "Aenima" won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance. On its second full-length album, this hard-rocking quartet delivers 15 tracks of unrelenting aggression and focused intensity. Rather than overwhelm with huge sonic washes of guitar and booming drums, Tool employs a propulsive, snaky approach that makes use of undulating rhythms and clipped, percussive guitar riffs. Maynard James Keenan's vocals follow suit, opting for a heavily processed slow burn instead of the post-grunge bellow favored by so many hard-rock bands. Instead of flailing uncontrollably in all directions, the group's raw, energetic sound is tightly directed for maximum impact. On songs like "Stinkfist," Keenan rails against injustice while the band churns mercilessly ...

A Perfect Circle Mer De Noms CD  (2000)

Undertow music CDs
CD $11.39  4.2 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Tool vocalist Maynard James Keenan offers up something to fill the collective void of fans eagerly awaiting a follow up to AENIMA. Keenan teamed with Tool guitar tech and A Perfect Circle guitarist/composer Billy Howerdel for MER DE NOMS, which is both a band effort and an engaging hard rock album, recorded while Tool renegotiated with their label and other band members took a break. But don't be fooled; A Perfect Circle is more than a one-off side project. The band isn't nearly as brutal as Tool; the musical textures are instead spacious and melodic. Keenan maintains his brooding, emotionally charged vocal style and his knack for conjuring bleak imagery. The track most comparable to Tool's music, "Rose," utilizes rise-and-fall dynamics and unpredictably breaks away to gentle strings, while "Judith" (the album's title is French for "sea of names," hence the song titles), explores free thought ...

CD $6.25  4.3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
"Shoots And Ladders" was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance. "Are you readyyyy?!" With that question--an inquiry that begins as a growl and ends as a scream--Jonathan Davis provides a fitting beginning to this searing collection of relentless, metallicized thrash/funk. His question is well-posed; this is not music for the faint of heart. Producer Ross Robinson and Korn have found a formula that works: start with a layer of fuzz-soaked guitar, add some big beats, and finish the whole construct off with a healthy dose of Davis's tortured vocals. This is dark music, scary music. It's also occasionally funky music. "Ball Tongue," with its stop/start syncopation, tinny guitar whine, and stripped-down-to-the-bone verse, is a perfect encapsulation of the Korn style. The track also contains a trace of (gasp!) Hip-Hop flavor, but you won't be hearing this L.A. quartet on the dance floor any time soon. Their assault is severe, fueled with explosive bursts of guitar a la Metallica, as well as frenetic tempo changes reminiscent of Faith No More. The themes are frustration, alienation, pain, explored the way ...

"Schism" won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance. Approaching Tool's LATERALUS with a casual ear would be a careless endeavor, to say the least. The sheer magnitude of the musical and emotional textures is as heady as it is primal. Standing out as one of the defining traits of the Tool sound is ...

Finally, after all these years the band has been captured in a live setting! That is, always was and always will be the way to hear Harlequin material!! I take full responsibility for the feels, tempos and key changes herein!! These were the topics of many a discussion in the old days and some might say, the cause of a few wars or minor skirmishes with the odd producer or band mate.In the old days we would toil for endless hours in the practice hall, recording our songs over and over to get the foundation right for which to build our music. I would go home at the end of the day with the tape and work on it some more, bring it back the next day and we would try to improve on it again. These processes were repeated for weeks and sometimes months until finally we played them for the producer who would take an evening and listen to the material with “fresh ears” then tell us to change the feel, tempo or key! A sore point for me was always the fact that some of the people making decisions ...
