Best Tool album

[Gargamel Bojangles]

Some friends and I were debating which is the best Tool album..They insist it's Aenima , I say Undertow.

I have never listened to Tool. Should i change that? And if so, what album would you guys recommend?

 

[Gargamel Bojangles]

They are good in concert

I like Undertow the best

 

[Satanstoenail]

Aenima is their best, but I don't think I'll ever listen to it again.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Undertow is my favorite as well. They got more long-winded and redundant as they went along. I still have difficulty remembering any of their songs from memory.

 

[Baroque]

All 4 albums are decent. I'd rank them:

1) Lateralus
2) Undertow
3) 10,000 Days
4) Aenima

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I'd go with Undertow simply because it has "Prison Sex" on it and that song rules.

Aenima

Aenima, Undertow and Lateralus are all excellent, the Opiate EP is pretty decent and 10,000 Days blows.

 

[Krow]

Have never liked Tool, Opiate was kind of alright though.

My wife says Lateralus.

Whichever album is shortest.

Even that fucking EP is like, 25 minutes long.

I could never get into Tool either. I just never really got it. I did love the song 'Sober' though back in the 90s, as it was a bit of a drinking anthem at one point, although I'm sure the song probably wasn't really even about alcohol....

The best Tool album is one of the later Enslaved or Katatonia albums... which ruined both bands.

I love Tool and the answer is Aenima.

 

[The Ozzman]

I mean, you can't really go wrong with the first 3 Tool albums. I just find Undertow to be the grittiest and angriest and that's why I like it.

 

[Gargamel Bojangles]

Aenima no doubt an excellent album but there's just something about that undertow album that just grabs me and pulls me in. So I guess it is true to its name. None of their other albums are as raw and aggressive is this album. All of the other Tool albums have at least 2 or 3 tracks that are kinda meh.. every track on undertow is good. Lateralus was terrible, I couldn't even make it through the whole album

 

[suckerleaf]

Lateralus is wonderful but to each his or her own.

Lateralus, is this really a question? The rest of their stuff is pretty good, but this is top 10 albums of all time material here!
