Tool's Undertow arrives here as a German import CD: the 1993 debut full-length that turned a Los Angeles band with a taste for dread into one of heavy music's most studied acts.
Coming after the Opiate EP, the album sharpened everything that made their early shows so unnerving. Maynard James Keenan's voice swings from a murmur to a howl, Adam Jones builds riffs like load-bearing walls, and Danny Carey and bassist Paul D'Amour lock in with a patience that few metal bands of the era could match.
Sober is the obvious entry point, a slow-burning grinder with a chorus built on self-doubt, while Prison Sex pairs a coiled groove with some of the band's most uncomfortable lyrics. Bottom brings in Henry Rollins for a spoken-word turn, and Intolerance opens the record with a nervy, stop-start attack that sets the tone. Co-produced with Sylvia Massy, the sound is raw and heavy without losing detail.
It is more direct than the sprawling albums that followed, and that is exactly its appeal: you can hear a band working out how strange it is allowed to be. The closing stretch drifts into noise and odd experiments, a hint of the rabbit holes still to come.
For anyone who came in through Lateralus or Fear Inoculum, this CD is where the obsession starts.
