Unsurprisingly, this is a great album - it's by Tool so the greatness is pretty much a given. Although the album only has 6 tracks and the songs are quite short compared to the 6min average of Tool's later songs, this is still a really great listen. You can hear the distinctive 'Tool sound' even though the music seems a bit rougher and theres also a different bassist (Paul d'Amour). I personally wouldn't advise this album to be one of your first Tool purchases, I'd probably recomend Lateralus to start with, but if you like Tool then you're gonna get this album at some point, even if its not right now. Overall its another great album with a unique sound that you won't stop listening to if you get it. Oh btw there's also a couple of live tracks on here which are excellent.

Advantages: Complex, original, amazing rock music with a difference. Disadvantages: Takes a while to fully appreciate. Not to everyone’s tastes. Grrrr those four silly tracks!
