TOOL - UNDERTOW DOUBLE VINYL LP.
Relentlessly brooding and terrifying, Tool's breakthrough debut full-length saw the band take a huge evolutionary leap from the Opiate EP's rough-hewn attack. From the unnerving and controversial artwork to mercilessly dark songs like “Sober,” “Prison Sex” and “Bottom” (the last of these featuring inimitable guest spoken word from Henry Rollins), Undertow represents the encompassing vision of the band before they found any light at the end of the tunnel. Every record shelf needs a 2LP copy of this harrowing masterpiece.
Arguably their finest album, this follow-up to Opiate showcases Tool at their best, assisted by clean, crisp production. 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 its 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, with considerably more sophistication than their previous work. Very highly recommended.
