Aenima [Explicit Lyrics]

Editorial Reviews

With its heavy-duty distortion, weighty rhythms, and cynical lyrics, Tool is a heavy metal band for the '90s. Rather like Metallica circa ...And Justice for All, the sound is focused heavily on texture, with vocals and guitars layered one atop the other, and heart-pounding drums underlying everything. There's not a whole lot of variety on Tool's second full-length album--most of the songs start off fairly low-key, kicking into high gear for the chorus, and repeat--but Maynard James Keenan's distinctive voice, the prog-rock stylings over a heavy metal base, and a supremely unhealthy dose of vitriol make this the perfect album to bang your head to. --Genevieve Williams

Perhaps the best album of the 90's........2007-07-29

From the opening of Stinkfist to the closing seconds of Third Eye, there is absolutely nothing that could be changed for the better. Everything just flows so well in this album I can't think of a single time I have ever skipped a track. This is the one album I would most likely recommend for any new listeners looking for their first experience of Tool. It has some of the more recognizable radio played tracks, like Stinkfist, Eulogy, and Forty-six & 2 (personal favorite). In my opinion this has to be the best album in all of the 90's and was a ray of hope showing that not all groups were going the way of nu-metal.

Tool is as good as it gets!.......2007-07-17

Tool is one of the most talented bands I have ever heard, both musically & lyrically. They have a sensual, melodic, rhythmic, dramatic, powerful, gnawing, raw, yet symphonic sound. The lyrics are educated, poetic, unnerving, yet truthful all at the same time. Their music is hauntingly beautiful in that there is nothing else like it out there. Their blend of opus-like orchestration, powerful spine-tingling rock sounds & intelligent lyrics is sheer genius! Maynard James Keenan's voice is as hypnotic as it is chameleon-like. His range from melodic to raw is seamless, intense, & wonderfully refreshing in a world of today's "been there, heard that" sound of most rock bands. Danny Carey's skill with the drums is unparalleled. Oh my God, the DRUMS! They eat at you, they move you, they draw you in & they change the surface of your skin! Danny ROCKS! He is the essence of what I crave in "the beat", "the hit", "the soul" of rock! He is splendid! Bassist Justin Chancellor & guitarist Adam Jones are brilliant! They seduce your ears with their incredible skill. This band is easily one of the BEST there is & I know that they will stand the test of time. Rarely is there such an incredible union of deliciously talented musicians & I am truly grateful that they found each other. How unfortunate the music world would be without Tool!

what's not to say?.......2007-06-22

I can't see how anybody can be new to this band, but if you are, this is their best album. Not that any of thier albums suck, because Tool is the band that nobody with ears has ever hated. I like the industrial metal riffs, combined with the hallucinatory acid rock, and of course Maynard's mysterious lyrics and passionate vocals. Face it people, THIS BAND ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

getgo.......2007-06-17

I was introduced to this band back in 1996 and I was instantly hooked, and then after going to the website and doing research and reading what the band was into I was taken way aback. These people have huge knowlegde base on higher powers-- satan worship. I have done a lot of research and have found that the lead singer has a very offbeat sense of humor and ANYBODY that makes fun of this band will be sorry, I have reported the drummers website for very obscure remarks made and I would seriously reconsider this band since the drummer is a direct affiliate of aleister crowley, who in the most simple sense sacrificed his own son. These band members are not teenagers, they are ADULTS.

Greatest Tool album.......2007-06-13

I am a big Tool fan, got to see them a few weeks ago in Corpus and they rocked. This in my opinion is their finest album. Hands down one of the hardest and most creative albums I have ever heard. This is Tool at their very hardest, and at their very best.

Album Description

The String Quartet Tribute to Tool's Ænima is a breathtaking journey through Tool's masterpiece. A handpicked group of musicians have used violins, viola, and cello to explore the emotional depths of such songs as "Forty-Six & 2" and "Third Eye." Each movement of the bow elicits moody and nuanced notes. These string interpretations prove that Tool are truly modern day composers.

Album Description

Middle Pillar Presents announces the new full-length album from Aenima. Entitled Sentient, their third release is a stunning production of darkwave, ethereal and gothic rock songs with an epic layering of female siren song harmonies.

Aenima's style emerges right from the start with "Lilith", which has already received immense airplay from European and US radio due to its appearance on their previous EP Never Fragile. This newly re-mastered version sets the tone for the album: jangling effected guitars working in tandem with a spirited rhythm section while singer Carmen's lilting vocals caress the melodies of Sentient..

The album brings to life the spirit of their live performances, which have been praised in European press. Each song builds on the strengths of the band as the album continues - the eclectic range of the musicians and the dynamics between them display a wide range of emotion and depth throughout the twelve songs of Sentient. The haunting beauty of "Silently There" shimmers with light jazz drumming and evocative faerie-like vocals chanting hypnotically "…here comes the dark". The bittersweet "Pale" builds from a calm serenity to an epic wave of guitars and drums, eventually blending back down into the beautiful a capella track "Dusk". Carmen's versatile voice shines here, as a beacon before and after the storm. This follows through to "The Lighthouse", where her voice becomes a seductive lure over insistent rhythms and industrial percussion, weaving harmonic temptations throughout the piece.

Nature's tranquility is evoked in "Morningrise" while "The Soil Stained Black" sets a sultry mood with its whispered vocals and erotic guitar. The tribal rhythms and vocal invocation of "Eclipse" propel Sentient to a bombastic and frenzied climax until the solemn guitar melody of the instrumental "Song for a Moonlit Mermaid" brings the album to a wistful close.

Sentient is an hour of music that captures the essence of Aenima through its layers of guitars, rhythms and vocal harmonies that enliven and tempt the heart.
