5.0 out of 5 stars Serious, Powerful, Intense and Insightful, April 8, 2008

By	Tiffany Ann (Black Diamond Bay) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Tool formed in Los Angeles in the early '90's and in a very short amount of time got a record deal with Zoo Entertainment. They released an EP then this full-length "Undertow". They achieved great success as soon as their single "Sober" hit the air waves and nu-metal/progressive rock fans ate Tool up QUICKLY.

Singer Maynard James Keenan writes serious, powerful, intense, insightful lyrics and that, put with Danny Carey's bruising drumming riffs and Adam Jones's grinding ultra-loud bass riffs, sets "Undertow" as one of the best albums of the decade. The songs are long at times and in a way go off into their own world, but that's one side people love about Tool. They set the standard high and are known for doing things their own way and in their own time. They have much voice in the production, so it's done on Tool's time and sense.

5.0 out of 5 stars Import review, October 6, 2007

By	S.C (arizona bay) - See all my reviews

I just purchased this import and wanted to report my findings, this disc is in fact made in japan(both disc artwork say "Made in Japan" and and not just a obi strip-ed US release. I also feel that disc seems to be a higher-Fidelity version of the state sided version. Nuances in the music seem to be more pronounced, better defined bass extension with less distortion, all in all seems to be a higher resolution version.
