It’s got a sweet guitar melody at around 3:30 which picks up with some percussion in the background and Maynard’s voice singing low note.
This one is about Maynard’s experiences as a father of his son Devon H. A properly progressive song with a haunting bass line. This one starts off with a mellow, progressive intro with piercing guitar riffs.
I like to think of this one as my old, numb and dumber, child-like self. Starting off with a deep, trance inducing intro – I don’t know who this song is about but Tool blow you out of the water again.
The second track Eulogy is also a brilliant one. The sledgehammer riff will make you sit up and take notice while Maynard’s lyrics take you inside out from your normal state to – Tool state of mind. The theme of this song is about how people will take things to the extreme for pleasure by using “fisting” as a metaphor. The album opens with these lyrics sung by Maynard. The opener is a proper assault with a catchy predominantly blasting riff and a sick bass lines.
Tool aenima album songs how to#
I really don’t know how to start this because on Aenima every single song is an otherworldly gem. And obviously, Danny Carey is on his usual godlike form for the duration of the album. It’s clear from the first riff of the album to the last that Aenima borrows heavily from some of the heavier grunge bands for its instrumental parts, with downtuned guitars and prominently mixed bass leading the way on almost every song. The lyrics instigate thought and lyrical analysis to engage the listeners to look inside what Maynard is talking about. This is a recurring theme in Tool’s lyrics throughout all of their releases but stands out on Aenima. My ears are glued to the intricacies and the raw power.Īenima tackles themes about life, including the point of existing, frustration, anger, social issues and romantic schisms. I’m trying to stop listening to this on repeat but I just can’t seem to. It’s angry, it’s got those low tones and it’s extremely introspective and spiritual. It’s really transporting to another level. This album right here should be heralded as one of the many greatest rock albums ever made. This album is potent and power packed and dark with intense hollow melodic riffs and bass lines. I had heard some tracks off Aenima before but this album just blows everything out of the water when listened to at one go. I’m pretty sure nobody quite understood this album when it got out because it was so fucking brilliant! It was way ahead of it’s time. “Be sure to look out for a new album from Tool sometime soon,” says Late Night host Seth Meyers Tool have two albums worth of new music, but only five songs meet their standard But with Tool I think his work is perfection – Deserving every accolade and noteworthy praise.Įver since news broke out that Tool are recording a new album this year – Yes it’s happening as we speak. Ever since I discovered A Perfect Circle and Puscifer, I have been in awe of the man. I mean I’m a huge Maynard James Keenan fan, to this day, I sincerely believe that everything he touches turns to gold. I can’t even believe how fucking sheerly, gifted and talented they are. Tool are a fortress of magnetic, dark, exonerated brilliance. I even had their entire discography in college but I didn’t hear them with mature ears, until now. As a 15-16 year old – It was way too early for me to understand their music. I had been a huge fan of theirs for a long time, since school and college. Today I decided to sit back and take a leap into the gargantuan black hole that is Tool.
