Tool/A Perfect Circle (lyrics, rock, albums, Radiohead, Tool)

Go listen to Aenima and Lateralus. There is nothing else in the Tool discography that calls out to be listened to. Undertow is not a good album whatever anybody says. It was an uneven effort with some of the blandest melodies and most uninspiring music you're likely to come across. It sounds good if you're a fan of the band's general work, though. It just doesn't hold a candle to A or L. As for 10,000 Days, I can summarize that with the word "dud".

I really don't get what people didn't like about 10000 Days... For me it was an amazing introduction to Tool, and even now I still listen to it.

As for Undertow, I'd generally agree, but there are definitely a couple tunes worth listening to. Sober and Prison Sex come to mind as well as 4 Degrees. But yeah, Aenima and Lateralus are generally considered Tool's best works.

Other than almost half the album is noise tracks it's ****ing great.
