TOOL - READER COMMENTS

 

UNDERTOW (1993)

Andrew Goertz - What is this nonsense all about? Only a 4 for Undertow? I think I hate your reviews now! Just kidding, I don’t care. I guess Tool is to me as Robbie Williams is to you, if that makes any sense. However, you neglected to mention “Intolerance”, which I think adds at least another point to the total. Also, the “fart-sounding bass” on “Sober” should also add at least a half-point just for making you think of farts. And I am surprised you didn’t like the track “Undertow”, except for the spoken word part by Henry Rollins in the middle. Oh well, I can’t always get what I want, and that was an 8 rating for this album. Well…realistically I hoped for a 6.

Ian's Music Reviews - I'm sorry that I couldn't get into the album. However, I listened to Aenima the other day, and I did like that much more. Overall, it had more variety, the playing was tighter, and there were more interesting musical ideas. I'll listen to it a couple more times before I review it though.
