favourite albums in order are aenima, undertow, opiate, 10,000 days and lateralus.
seen them twice in Australia both times for the lateralus tour, this time they dont seem to be touring the whole of oz, only sydney and melbourne, the rest of the country they will be in the big day out concerts, a bit p***** off about that, although seeing them in a festival environment should be interesting, they will have to be a bit more audience interactive though i think.

Is he saying high colonic? Which apparantly is a colon cleansing procedure.....

"Cleaning the colon to detoxify is not some new fad or technique. It has been in use since 1500 BC by the Egyptians. Dr. Elmer Lee introduced the first method used by many physicians in the USA for irrigating the intestines in the late 1800s."

Opiate is my fav by a long shot...none of them do what this album does for me. But claiming Tool as my fav band I can say that I enjoy all of them and would defend any of them if the need arised. I also think that people who like Aenima as their fav have never given Undertow or Opiate a fair chance.

That makes since, it is their most accessible album.

And I use the term "accessible" very loosely.

I thought Aenima was..but either way the both are pretty accessible.

I don't find Tool that inaccessible at all, but then again I like The Residents and Captain Beefheart, so it really depends on what you're used to.

But I understand that to most people with more secular musical tastes or with little interest in progressive rock and the like, Tool are pretty inaccessible... So in that regard I choose to use the term "Accessible" loosely since a lot of people consider all Tool albums pretty hard to get into.

I would have to agree. Even though I might be looking into the statement a little harder then I should.

Aenima and Undertow....Lateralus didn't do it for me as much.

Album being a generic term for studio album, Opiate and Salival don't really fit into the equation. But I'm being nit-picky.

I don't think I could really identify a favourite record, because I like each one for different things - and each one is better than the others in some respect.

Also, I think all of those 'Tool fans' who cast aspersions upon 10,000 Days are a bunch of... well... tools. Inappreciative, blood-sucking, parasitic leeches.
