TOOL Album Poll #1: UNDERTOW

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.
