    Where does one start with this band? I know their famous record with Sober on it, but haven't listened to anything else of theirs. 
    Chronological order is best imo.
    Awesome! Which one is your favorite? 

    Their most recent, 2019s Fear Inoculum is incredible. For the past two years, whenever I put on an older Tool album, I find myself wishing I was listening to the new album. 
    I agree. Never have I put on a new album by ANY band and my jaw literally open most of the time I was listening. Describing it to a buddy who hadn't heard it yet and wanted to know my thoughts, I said "it was like a fucking religious experience". 
    Yup---it's great. Aenima is my favorite of theirs, but Fear has surpassed Lateralus for #2.
    It has grown on me too but when I first heard it the reuse of certain guitar licks was disheartening.  It has been an oversight now as I was cranking Invincible this morning.

    How about some damn Vinyl?

    Please make sure you listen to Salival AFTER Aenima! @2-feign-reluctance

    The rate at which I see boots of the Tool albums sell on vinyl, an official release of them would be a gold mine for their record company.

    I bought a collection a while back in hopes that the Aenima album wasn't a boot but it was.  Got Salival boot too.  Good packaging on that.

    aenima is on vinyl and its fantastic. i have one.
    Sorry, I should have said re-release. I have Lateralus on picture disc Lp and it sounds pretty decent. Aenima was a pretty limited run from what I understand and there are a lot of bootlegs out there. A buddy of mine has a decent sounding boot, but I just wish they'd re-release their catalog on vinyl.

    well it only took how long to release the catalog for streaming?

    and they do sell tote bags at shows, which frankly seems like a cruel joke.

    He should...but at this point, he might as well get through the five, then do Salival.

    I will say, it is hard to compare the titles to some of these songs to any other band I know. Very interesting...my favorite tracks so far are Jimmy and Part of Me. I did listen to Aenima twice. I like it better than Undertow. Is that blasphemous in Tool world?

    Final thought for today on Tool, their drummer is out of control. Does he have four legs? The double bass pedal action is insane!

    I've shared this here before, but here is an awesome video of Danny in action. This is a song off the new album, but worth the watch.

    Also, Aenima is better than Undertow, in my opinion. Definitely not blasphemous.

    I actually thought it would be blasphemous to say you preferred Undertow to Aenima.

    Aenima > undertow. Not blasphemous.
