Think Tree: Like the Idea
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
They came from Boston and were a musical shooting star with this album released and little else; the "crazy" cousins of the already crazy Primus. They combined country, funk, hard rock, and metal into an electrifying and disorienting blend of sounds… with a voice that sometimes resembled Prince's timbre… like a local fair with an attached rodeo.
Tiamat: Wildhoney

A record that is not only beautiful, but much, much more; it's the leader Johan Edlund leading his loyal band into Gothic-Doom territories of infinite thrills. It's 1994 and everything has a flavor, a taste, a dreamy and celestial sound; after the self-titled and brief opening instrumental track, two heavyweight pieces arrive: "Whatever That Hurts" and "The Ar" with their hypnotic and enveloping rhythm, in warm majestic coils. A visionary album, a timeless masterpiece: the best from the Swedish band...GAIA...

    It's not my kind of music... but the name of the band is an anagram of my name (!) and this has always made me find them likable.

    I'm laughing my head off, like I haven't in ages!!! This is an incredibly amazing album. No need to add anything else. Must listen.
Tool: Lateralus
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
This is MY Tool album: no doubt about it, even though I appreciate the entire discography of the band. An album "Lateralus" that immediately won me over, starting from the cover, with that sound so deep, expansive, through a sequence of long and imposing tracks that take your breath away, yet leave you with a sense of inner peace that urges you to start over from the beginning once you finish listening. It’s the titular track, disturbingly beautiful, that I prefer... HYPNOTIC...

    Damn, this album gets into your head and does irreparable damage! If someone asks "what's an odd time signature in music?" just reply "listen to Lateralus and you'll understand!"

    You are absolutely right!!! I listened to it again this morning while I was finalizing it, and as always, I am struck by its cerebral sound. It's an album that lasts almost eighty minutes but doesn't contain a single second too much; and I would truly be ready to start listening to it again right away. An essential band.....

    "If someone asks, 'but what is an odd time in music?' well, if that's all it is, just play them 'Turn It On Again,' and they'll start dancing, go offbeat, and understand without incurring 'irreparable damage.'"

    Well, I wanted to act all pretentious and know-it-all. In reality, a simple Take Five would be enough to make it clear...

    I remain more down to earth with Turn It On Again.

    But no! A damn bank has shoved Take Five into the ears of all the tele-lobotomized by now, this time I'm winning! :-)
Tool: Ænima
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
I have written elsewhere that "Lateralus" represents my Tool album; but the previous "Aenima," released in 1996, also scores top marks. And this excellent outcome is achieved through a lengthy album, never-ending at nearly eighty minutes, which contains such musical grandeur that it leaves me with little doubt about its infinite quality. Energy, precision, odd time signatures, lysergic expansions, hypnotic instrumental ascents, dense, sick... PUSHIT...
