Binding: Audio CDBrand: TOOL EAN: 6142231087284 Format: Explicit Lyrics Label: Volcano Manufacturer: Volcano MPN: 614223108728 Number Of Discs: 1 Publication Date: 1996 Publisher: Volcano Release Date: October 01, 1996 Studio: Volcano Editorial Review: Product Description: No Description Available Media Type: CD Artist: TOOL Title: AENIMA Street Release Date: 10/01/1996 Genre: HEAVY METAL Amazon.com: With its heavy-duty distortion, weighty rhythms, and cynical lyrics, Tool is a heavy metal band for the '90s.

I would certainly recommend Lateralus and 10,000 days for those who are just discovering this amazing band. Rating:  - "The Sound of a Thousand Dirt Bikes", "Monster Truck Tunes" "What A Bloody Bore" I thought to myself and sent about fifteen pieces of hate drenched rubbish hurtling into the trash. Some obscure form of Redneck Entertainment also crossed my mind. On a lighter note, it's just so tasteless. And this is coming from someone who can even handle the "Dead Kennedys." At least there is some humor and political sentiment. Gothic Metal Bands are a much more mindful alternative to this ceaseless tirade of grating noise. If the music only matched the artwork ...
