If this album were a laxative, by now I would have crapped out even my soul. This is how I describe "Undertow", and it's not an insult. Don't look at the laxative for what it does, but for what it achieves; it frees you of a burden.

This album is an experience, one that frees you from all excess thoughts in the end. Fast, heavy, raw but intelligent. All this is "Undertow", and songs like "Prison Sex" or "Sober" are proof of that.
To understand this album you have to listen to it at least twenty times, read all the lyrics, and if you have an instrument, you should play it to understand it even more. Believe me, after this album, everything else will seem useless and superfluous. And your addiction to "Tool" will not end; no, you will keep going further until you reach the end ("10,000 Days").

But then you will go back, and not a day will pass in your life where you won't listen to "Tool". A crappy review like the one I wrote is not enough, no, you have to listen to this album, believe me
you won't regret it.
