JonCrow Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Overall, Lateralus. Must have played it at least a thousand times. For nostalgic value Aenima sits higher as it helped get me through the last 2 years of high school back when it was released. I love both 10,000 days and Undertow. I've over-listened all of them way way way too much though. Haven't played them in a few years because of this. There's supposedly a new album in the works. A little off-topic but I'm a big fan of Alex Grey's artwork also and have got 2 of his books in hardcover with a "special" case. Jon Quote
Sawfly Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 I listened to Ænima today after a while and it kicked ass Quote
piginspace Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 aenima, even though my favourite song "sober" is on undertow. Quote
Mutilated_Core Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Undertow. I love the roughness and the energy on this album. Same goes for Opiate. Quote
p(sy)ayam Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Lateralus and Ænima voted for Lateralus though Quote
Veracohr Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Same goes for Opiate. It's not that great of an album, but it should have been included in the poll. Hell, it's the only one I have. Quote
Otto Matta Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Undertow, then Aenima, although their edge was already starting to disappear. Opiate was okay, but not great. Quote
Sawfly Posted October 23, 2009 Author Posted October 23, 2009 It's not that great of an album, but it should have been included in the poll. Hell, it's the only one I have. Well that is an EP so I forgot about it Quote
psytones Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 I own the three last releases (Ænima, Lateralus and 10.000 Days). I love Ænima because it was my first listening experience of Tool. Lateralus feel like a better album and they are going away from their Opiat/Undertow days of harder progressive rock and defiently enetering the more spiritual influences with well made music. In 10.000 Days they have made the transission and become more complete then ever imo. I have also shroomed to this album and it wowed me a lot. my Vote goes to 10.000 Days though my first reaction was Ænima then headed against Lateralus because its much more complete. Quote

qa2pir Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 10.000 days just for Vicarious, Jambi, The Pot and Right in Two. Lateralus might be better as a whole though... Quote
psytones Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 I've only tried Lateralus on acid and it was an great experience thats not 'only' a* in my quoted text it sais complete, i ment (um) ,,spiritual" in their sound. 10.000 days just for Vicarious, Jambi, The Pot and Right in Two. Lateralus might be better as a whole though... for some reason i didnt find the pot to be that great even thougb in all fairness it Is Great. it feels right after the struggling emotional ride of the 10.000 days /wings) journey though,.. strong music i heard that 10 000 is the days his mother struggled with cancer before passing away Quote
Redington Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Gods, I don't know which one is my favorite. They're all good in their own ways. I voted for Ænima, I think I should've voted for 10,000 Days. It's was really hard to choose. Quote
Djuna Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Gods, I don't know which one is my favorite. They're all good in their own ways.Indeed, it's like choosing the best oldschool Astral album. I can't decide One of the best bands still alive and definite the best in their genre. Saw them live twice, both quite an experience! Quote
Padmapani Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 definitely lateralus. the album is just one trippy voyage. second place would be aenima. i don't like 10 000 days that much. i think maynard sounds a bit drunk on that one. Quote
Caffein:me Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 i only have 10.000 days, no real choice here. Quote
@reyu Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 Their next one..... What he said...definitly. Now for the other 4 albums I don't really want to pick any. I remember their first EP Opiate was louder than a bomb when it was released in 1992. If you don't have it already then go buy it: Sweat, Hush ,Part of me, Cold & Ugly, Jerk-off, Opiate are classic Tool songs. Through the years I've always enjoyed their latest offerings. Every new Tool release is like some sort of Shamanic ritual for me, definitely more than music, a bigger than live experience!!! and remember kids: two weeners for daddy an one iced pee for me Quote
