AENIMA, the 1996 album from progressive metal shamans TOOL, is a progressive, heavy, and atmospheric album loaded with layers and layers of sonic texture that should be enjoyed with headphones to ensure the ideal experience. In short, if Tool is the metal community’s Pink Floyd, then AENIMA is most definitely their Dark Side Of The Moon. And as with any prog album of such incredible quality, you must listen to it “front to back”, in its entirety because it’s truly a “start to finish” experience.
You may recall that we did an album dive of this many, many moons ago, right around the time of the COVID pandemic, during the “B.R.” period. It was a Metal Nerdery two-some, it was done over a Zoom call, it was definitely weird, and it was the only time we ever “did it” with only “two thirds the nerds” (it’s episode 38, released April 2, 2020, btw. You’ve been warned).
Always remember to reach “Finger…knuckle…elbow…and shoulder deep inside the borderline” in order to properly clean out and prepare for your upcoming “analectomy”. Prepare to enjoy “The BALLS of satan” (“Und keine eier”), enjoy some reflections regarding ample “shoulder tits” that were shown “at a bar”, and a bunch of assorted “piss hockey snot” associated with “where rich people live (and eat) in Atlanta”.
Be advised that “white people rapping is kinda like girls talking about football” and remember that a hilariously, weird threesome is always better than an unfunny, awkward twosome.
Happy Turkels to all, enjoy some “Harry Manbackshadowing” reflections, revel in the infinite comedy genius of Bill Hicks and JOIN US as we strive for redemption with a full power threesome and dive “colon deep inside the borderline” with TOOL’s AENIMA.
