TOOL Album Poll #1: UNDERTOW

this is one of the first cd's i purchased and i'm kinda disappointed i didn't vote. i don't know what i would've voted for though, it's been probably 10 years since i've listened to it.

intolerance is definitely one of the better tracks, though. i expected that to be in the top half of the results.

It is impossible to overstate how bored every non-MJK band member looks in that clip.

Sounds like very early Jane's or even Psi-Com

title track and "4 degrees" severely underrated itt

otm. Crawl Away is magnificent, too.

I listened for maybe the first time this century, and it exceeded my memories of it - banger after banger tbh.

However, I'd forgotten about the Rollins guest verse. When he says "I've gone to great lengths to expand my threshold of pain" I guffawed, which is probably not the intended reaction.

Damn it, I've got Swamp Song on a loop in my head.

I hope it SUCKS! I hope it SUCKS YOU FUCKER!

I haven't looked through the whole thing yet but I think there's a section in Sylvia Massy's book detailing the proper way to mic shotguns and pianos for this purpose.
