Maynard is a child rapist.

“A lot of time when a child is sexually abused they put it out of their mind,” Jones added in the same interview. “Then they grow up and they don’t understand this unrest that they have in them. They turn to different ways to try to channel it. They become alcoholics or become codependent or whatever. So what our video deals with is someone who has that happen to them. To channel it, they sexually molest another child. … In the song, it talks about ‘I become full circle.’ And that’s what that means. This happened, I grew up and now I’m doing it to someone else. That’s why it’s written from the antagonist’s point of view is like, ‘This is what happened to me.'”

Maynard was raped by his stepfather, he has always hated him and was very vocal in old interviews. Live versions of Prison Sex will often change lyrics to
'I have become my terror and you are my lamb'
The song is about how he was raped and now he has to rape to feel whole.

Prison Sex is about child molestation and cycles of abuse.

He hadn't picked up the name Maynard yet, that came later. He was James now. Probably was referred to as 'Jimmy' around this time. He was 11. His mom had her fateful aneurysm that left her broken down and paralyzed, forever changed, her faithful devotion intensified and led her to become more and more delusional and willfully ignorant.

Jimmy's stepfather was caring for him at this time, he inspires the content for this song for about two years until Judith finally sends him to his fathers in Michigan.

Before playing 'Jimmy' live once, Maynard addressed the crowd, announcing it as the sequel to Prison sex. Jimmy being a very personal story, the announcement of it as a 'Sequel" to Prison Sex is kind of shocking. That gives it a light of being a personal story, just by that strong association. H is a sister piece to Prison sex, its about him struggling with the abuse he grew up with, in the face of having a child of his own.

Ok cool. Now rank the albums.

Maynard rapes little kids

Fear Inoculum has to go at the very bottom since Fantano rated it a 4/10

Fantano also kept calling Tool "metal" in that review even though by consensus Tool does not qualify as metal. So how credible is he really?

Fear isn't worse than Undertow.

10k Days = Lateralus = Aenima > Salival = Fear Inoculum = Undertow > Opiate > 72826

fpbp

The first four are correct by me. Maybe after more listens to FI I’ll rate it higher than Opiate

You're being quite silly if you think FI is that bad.

In chronological order. Fear inoculum being my favorite. Yes im serious. Whatever opinions and shit.

Lateralus, Fear Inoculum, Ænima = Salival, 10,000 days, Undertow, Opiate

I'm here for the more hypnotic shit, that's the draw for me. The "new" appeal may settle and FI may drop, but god damn im trapped in parts of that record atm.

it's fun to hate because the production and mix are so cheap and dinky. maybe in ten years everybody who hates it now will love it.

The mix/production is imperfect but it's not that terrible either. Overall, I think it's a very solid album that has the misfortune of being compared to Tool's immaculate discography.

Why yes Underturd is my favorite how could you tell?

tool sucks why doesnt mu talk about actually cool and interesting music. tool is a soft rock dronefest.

paid shills

its not even just for tool, it goes for everything.

God you’re all wrong
Aenima>lat>undertow>10k>Fi
Didnt include opiate or salival

Aenima is not their best you crazy nigga

undertow > opiate > aenima > lateralus > fear inoculum > 10,000 days

I have the exact same taste as you user

Give Undertow another listen, there are great songs in there especially towards the end, compared to FI it's much more alive and energetic and risktaking.

all i see in this picture is one big RAPE

when will TOOL stop raping children

Never, hopefully.

Aenima>>all the rest

they raped me when i was a child and i loved it

I'd say Fear Inoculum as at least better than opiate

Lat > Aen > Op > FI > 10k > Und

Ænima > Lateralus > Fear Inoculum > 10000 Days > Undertow

Ænima has a lot of sentimental value for me. I think 10000 Days and Fear Inoculum are comparable in general quality, but 10000 Days is way more uneven. Vicarious, Jambi, Wings for Marie and Right in Two are among my favourite Tool tracks, whereas the rest doesn't do that much for me. Fear Inoculum is just very solid throughout and doesn't have boring or uninteresting parts.

Aenima before 10k days and FI as last place

Yeah that’s how child rape works. It’s a disease passed on from rapist to the child who grows to be a rapist eventually. Not anything knew that you’ve figured out there.

cool story kid that’s what happens

I find it hard to rate 10k Days. I think that the record lacks a lot of consistency, but still manages to deliver what I consider to be the peak tool. Wings part 2 is for me the best thing that they released with Disposition - Reflection - Triad. But at the same time, you have tracks like Intension and the segues that are boring and totally forgettable.
Aenima suffers in a somewhat similar way, but with the interludes being absolutely great. Die Eier Von Satan is actually godlike for instance. But on the other hand, you have Pushit that starts off great and ends in the worst way possible. The end of the track actually makes me mad, to the point it ruins the whole experience.
Undertow is the album that got me into the band. But other than Intolerance, Sober and Crawl Away, which are all great, I still can't bring myself to listen to the rest. I still understand why people love this album. It's just not the one I like the most.
Opiate has the same amount of great tracks as Undertow does (Sweat, Hush, Opiate), but I don't think it can qualify as an album as a whole, so I don't really want to include it in the ranking.
I don't have much to say about Lateralus, because it's the one that peaks the most often.
Fear Inoculum seems to be the most consistent album to me, and I genuinly like it a lot. There isn't really any track that I genuinly dislike, and there's only Culling Voices that I think would benefit from being like 2 minutes shorter. I'm not fan of the momentum break between the 3 and 5 minute mark. Still wondering how my perception of this album will evolve as time passes. But so far, and after countless listens, it's very solid to me, and scratches the right kind of itches.

I'm not a music pro of any sort, so if you dislike my opinion, you're probably right for doing so.

tl;dr I'd rate it that way
Lateralus > Fear Inoculum >= 10K Days = Aenima > Undertow

based
we should talk about Voivod

10,000 days = Lateralus > Opiate > FE > Undertow >>>>>>>>> AEnima

More importantly, let's rank them by attractiveness :

Adam > Danny > Justin before the hipster haircut and beard > Maynard

Now that the dust has settled, let's recognize the superior progressive/atmospheric metal band.

Aenima > Undertow > 10000 Days = Lateralus = Opiate > FI

Because it's such a diverse album

you clueless mongrel children who rate Undertow low really are the plebiest of plebs, i hope you know that

Based

when did Maynard lose his balls? all he does on this new piece of shit is mumble and moan

getting old

Has anyone been to Barclay’s Center or Prudential Center? Both are close enough to me to go to the show but I have never been to either

Is this an american thing? All the tool fans I know are pretty much just regular metalheads.

I agree with your assessment although I believe 10k & Aenima to be somewhat equal. 10k better as a whole and Aenima has better individual parts & songs.

Oceanic and Panopticon shit on 10k days and the new tool, but earlier ISIS is cringy

Aenima > Lateralus > 10,000 Days > Undertow > Fear Innoculum

Lateralus. Aenima. Fi. Undertow. 10k. Opiate. It’s that simple
