This is where it all began for the metal band TOOL, this is there first EP called Opiate. It deal's with strong themes such as censorship, mind controle and religion. Fast pased and harsh lyrics. Very loud and agressive type of music. The kinda music that'll make you wanna slap your own mama, no joke.

The CD features 6 songs, which includes "Cold and ugly" and "Jerk-off" being perfomed live!. The songs are shorter in length compared to there 13 minute long epic's off there later album "lateralus"

All songs are good, "jerk-off" being a personal favourite. Okay now im not gona rumble on about what the songs are about because the band prefer that people listen to the album, think for themselves and take the lyrics how ever they want! wow such an open minded band.

Additional information
CD Length - 26.8 minutes
No Of Songs - 6 with added bonus song "the graping lotus experiance"

Artist Information:
Maynard James Keenan: Vocals
Adam Jones: Guitar
Danny Carey: Drums
Paul D'amour: Bass
