Review:
For such a bootleg friendly band, they let the general public get a taste of the live show by taping a performance at Cobo Hall in Detroit during the tour for Henhouse. There’s a couple of Gord Downie’s trademark ramblings and not a bad song in the bunch. Certainly as good of a representation of a live show that one can get without experiencing it in person.

Review:
Another solid effort, but admittedly this one gets passed over in favor of some of the other albums at times. Ahead By A Century is one of the band’s most popular songs, and I’ve always liked Let’s Stay Engaged.

Review:
This album, for me, is one of those ‘forgotten’ albums. I acquired it much later than some of the others, and while its quality all the way through, I never seem to spin this one nearly as often.

The first full length album, which foretold a long and solid career. New Orleans Is Sinking is probably the best known tune on here, but I’m partial to 38 Years Old.

The initial EP from the Canadian icons. Apparently All-Canadian Surf Club is a bonus track, but I must be too young to recall any version without it.

Review:
Every song on the album is epic and quite long, with the exception of the segues. There’s really not much to say other than it’s Tool. Some of the songs seem unecessarily long, but hey, follow your muse I guess.

Review:
Tool cracked the mainstream with this album, and its when everyone else became a Tool fan (including me). Started their trend of epic songs (Third Eye was 13 minutes long), and kept the tradition of vague and obscure lyrics. Oh yeah, the musicianship was great again too. All of the segues were interesting, if not completely entertaining.

Review:
The album that put Tool on the map as an underground rock sensation. Especially combined with the creepy stop-motion animation videos for Sober and Prison Sex. Henry Rollins does a guest spoken word spot on Bottom.

Back in ’92, the first EP. Jerk-off and Cold and Ugly were acutally recorded live. The first glimpse of MJK’s vocal capabilities.

One of the bands final shows, in its entirety, taped at the The Paradise in Boston. A fitting closing chapter on a band that should have been more successful.
