Written on August 27, 2007 Summary: Short but sweet. A short 6-song set lasting less than 30 minutes, it's well worth having as part of a complete Tool diet.  Written on June 19, 2007 Summary: wiccans(new witchcraft) at their best I got this album and immediately liked the heavy bass playing, but the lyrics were controversial along with the art displayed in the album. "A part of me" is an anti-military song in my opinion and as far as showing the priest rising to power on the cover, it is very wiccan--a new form of craft.  Written on May 19, 2007 Summary: Before Tool got proper health insurance and went on Ritalin. This is the first and last good release from Tool. "Opiate" is a fantastically raw, aggressive and garage-sounding album. It seethes with emotions that similar bands can only pretend to. Ministry's "Psalm 69..." is the only thing that comes close. After this, Tool cranks out three hours of guitar reverb, twelve beats-per-album and groaning sludge-metal hoo-hah. Is that even a sentence? It doesn't matter. But "Opiate" is a great, lightning-in-a-bottle release. Written on December 24, 2006 Summary: I had a friend once he took some acid, now he thinks he's a fire engine Employing dark, violent images and an abstract sonic palette, Tool pummels its listeners with a primal sound as distinct as it is disturbing. With a fixed, fiery glare, vocalist Maynard James Keenan assaults the audience with bone-chilling whispers and blistering hollers of unparalleled hatred and loathing. Behind him, heavy, ominous music swells and gives, building uncomfortable tension that makes your hair stand on end, then releasing that tension in frantic bursts of intensity.  Written on November 11, 2006 Summary: The beginnings of Tool... Before you see my 3-star review, I will put one thing straight: I love Tool. They are one of my favorite bands and "Lateralus" is one of my top ten favorite albums of all-time. I love "Ænima" and "Undertow" as well. I don't even think that "Opiate" is a bad album, HOWEVER, one thing I will say is this: This isn't terribly different from what a lot of the early '90's alt-metal artists were doing. Helmet and Prong churned out stuff like this for about as long and the results were more impressive. Helmet's lyrics were less juvenile than those on "Opiate." But that's one thing that makes this an interesting listen. It shows that they were not always a band that was about complexity and being big. I do prefer the more "pretentious" sides of Tool, though. The band doesn't really hide their meanings under any of the messages. It doesn't require thinking about what the songs are about since they are all so straight-forward in the lyrics. Sometimes you just have to look at the titles, even, to know the meaning. 2 of the tracks are live, but it works since the production is so raw. In some points, I enjoy it and find it entertaining. The censorship message of "Hush" is against the idea of sugar-coating and other moments on it are noteworthy. Some of it is not really that interesting, and while it's probably the best musically, "Opiate" is just ridiculous in the lyrics. I see that it's anti-religion and such, but this shows how juvenile the lyrics in Tool were. I mean, even on a track like "Eulogy," Maynard was much more "deep" in content. Overall, "Opiate" is not for the faint of heart and rough around the edges, but if you love Tool you may find something out of this. |
