Opiate has other quality's. Quality's that built a strong basis for Tool to work off of.
Listen to this album for the anger, the way Tool give it to you, and the lyrics that are profoundly non PC.
Damn, as I write this I begin to wish I'd rated it higher.

Brilliant review and ^^ post.
Opiate is my fav. Tool album..it was also what got me hooked. I listened to this album so much that my room mates hid it from me and made me by Undertow...which they also hid from me...then Aenima came and I wasnt so impressed with it and only listened it it half as much as Opiate and or Undertow...Lateralus is my second fav..but Opiate is what I always recommend to Tool haters or people that have only listened to Aenima.
