Undertow Explicit Lyrics

Description

Arguably their finest album, this follow-up to Opiate
showcases Tool at their best, assisted by clean, crisp production, without the
muddiness of Aenima. Edgy guitar riffs are complemented by spitting, heavy
bass, especially on “Sober” and “Crawl Away”. Lyrically, Tool are at their
vitriolic best, targeting religious hypocrisy (“Intolerance,” “Sober”; always
a popular theme), the loss of innocence and it’s consequences (“Prison Sex”),
and deliberate ignorance (“Swamp Song”). Henry Rollins makes a guest
appearance on “Bottom,” which, along with “4 Degrees,” deals with questions of
identity. Undertow is also Tool’s most musically adventurous album, lacking
the occasionally numbing sameness of Aenima, and with considerably more
sophistication than their previous work. Arguably their finest
