    One of my favorite Tool songs of all time. Your take on the "He had a lot to say" section was interesting. I take it to mean that the person he's eviscerating believed he had a lot to say (and probably was very talkative), but none of it was important or of any value("He had a lot to say. He had a lot of nothing to say.").

My brother bought me the album for Christmas about my junior year of high school . . . . in any case, I loved it on whatever level I could understand it at the time. And the beauty of Tool for me is that like most music it will take me back to a place or an emotion, but then as I age I can revisit these and dive deeper and hear new things every single time. No other band has accomplished that for me on this level . . . a joy to watch you experience it. Thanks for sharing all these.

    notes (like the musical pitches) on lyrics "you claimed all this time that you would die for me" show up at beginning of the track, as everything builds upon itself, but before the guitar distortion enters. that's all megaphone. "tool tabs" community figured this out early but it's also very easy to play on the guitar.

    For me it's a sarcastic look at leaders who pretend to sacrifice themselves for the people beneath them or their followers but have no interest in doing so "you claimed you would die for me", the people can't live without someone to follow so as each pretender is replaced they find the next "fool martyr" to hang on the cross, the symbol of making a sacrifice, the sarcasm comes in because they're wasting their time doing this instead of solving their own problems "you must be crucified for our sins and our lies". It's not necessarily about religious groups or cults though the song makes those references, the message could be applied to any self serving leadership figure.

    I remember when I was 18 waiting for aenima to be released in 1996. Bought the album, listened to it, then took it back, and asked for my money back. I was too used to the punk rock element of opiate and the heaviness of undertow. Aenima just sounded like noise to me. Then lateralus came out in 2001... I went to the show at the Phillips arena in Atlanta and realized just what a fool I'd been. I've since been on this journey with 7 tool concerts 2 perfect circle and 2 pucifer shows, and 2 pilgrimages to Jerome Arizona( i like wine). I'm just writing all this to say that not a single song has gotten old, and you should listen to H next :)

    Also, as a guitarist, I appreciate how you give Adam credit. Most people, especially guitarists, overlook Adam Jones, because not flashy. He’s a basically texture artist. That not only applies to how he plays guitar but in much of his regular art that he creates. It’s very rich. He’s very good at creating ambience and his rhythm is quite percussive. Usually Maynard, Danny, and even Justin get the accolades. It’s nice to see someone constantly praising my Adam!

    "He’s basically a texture artist" is such a great way to describe him, at least to my non-guitarist ears. Tool is a big part of me, and this album was my first entrypoint to the band when I was a preteen. I worked my way backwards from here, and then forwards when Lateralus came out, and forward still. Texture is such a nice one for what the musicians of Tool do, and even for what Maynard does with his voice across all these albums. Between their naked ability and the distortions and sounds used in the mix!

    @@Trepanation21 that’s the same way I found tool. I was 17 just starting senior year and was already into grunge and metal and really all rock music. Then a friend of mine who was like 2 yrs younger(who always got the newest music and much that I never heard of probably because I didn’t have cable/mtv) let me borrow this cool band called tool; a little cd called aenima. Instantly hooked; as if I found something I didn’t know I was looking for. I worked my way back to undertow and opiate; saw the. In concert a couple times and then a few years later Lateralus came out. I still consider Aenima their best ALBUM .Lateralus has a bunch of legendary singles and the whole album is good, but when it comes to a complete piece of art Aenima is disturbingly haunting; like a cold wet thing. Lie I said I might be biased since it was my first tool album and sort of set the tone for what I think of when I think of “tool.” Undertow was probably one of the best first albums ever made. It’s extremely mature for a new band. Lateralus of course is considered their magnum opus by most and their subsequent albums are all freaking great. But Aenima is what an album sounds like when a band is still hungry. Before they blow up completely and start reaping the benefits of their success. There’s something really honest about it. Even undertow wears its influences pretty openly but Aenima is sort of the stepping stone between mild success and the commercial success they attained by Lateralus. I could go on all day about it so I’ll shit up now!😅

I think it's part of the reason you love the band so much -- you don't miss the awesomeness of each track. For me, though, since the Aenima album, I have had that kind of anticipation for each new song that gave me a similar experience with each new album. Except Lateralis. It took me a few years honestly before I appreciated the awesomeness.

    It’s about self-appointed martyrs/false prophets and the sort of tele-evangelists you’d see a lot of in the 80’s/90’s. E even uses the bull-horn effect on his voice to imitate these type of people and their blaring loud voices; pontificating from a pulpit. Probably about L. Ron Hubbard as well. This album really went in on him.

    IMO its being sung directly at Jesus. "you claimed all this time you would die for me" "come down, get off your fucking cross" "judas said you must die, you must be crucified" etc. The song is raging at the church. I heard he had beef with his local church for their mistreatment of his mother after he left the community or something.

    This was the track that hooked me on Tool back around 99 when I first heard it. Friend of mine said “check it out, and see if you can make out the whispered lyrics in the middle of the song”. I honestly will never love a band more than I do Tool. Always epic, and always pushing musicianship forward.

    For 15 years I was married to a professionally diagnosed narcissist with psychopathic tendencies. The opening lyrics are him to a T. We saw Tool in concert six months prior to our demise and al4hough he had heard this song on cd a million times, he never listened to the words until that concert and it changed his affect to the point that after a decade of me trying to break free from him, he let me go. This song literally saved my life.

    This song is about Bill Hicks. A great lost stand-up comedian aka philosopher who passed. They also used Bill's routine as an intro to the last song on this record. Some say Andy Kaufman or L Ron Hubbard Updated: I missed all of it!! It has been but my own interpretation is was about our beloved Melvin and I never took the time to look or seek further.

    Just because Bill Hicks wss honoured in the cds liner notes and cover i dont believe eulogy is about him.

    I first heard this one live at an Ozzfest just after Aenima came out. I got chills too. In fact, I would guess that everyone in the crowd got them. Maynard was in the blue full-body paint and did the most insane dance-moves. Drums were set up stage-left (at least that's how I recall it Blew my mind off. Made me an instant fan for life of the band. I felt they were the best band to play that day. Then again I missed a System Of A Down on the second stage, and everyone was saying they were awesome. But still... Tool left an imprint on me that's lasted all this time. I'll never forget that performance.
