Album Review: Tool - Aenima (1996)

It's so difficult to describe Aenima by Tool.  It's an epic album, so different, so metal, so experimental.  Going through the songs on the album, the aesthetic similarity flows brilliantly between songs - sounding alike, but not sounding the same - broken up by the occasional interlude track.  But damn, is it so good!  So many A grade tracks to select from here - I'm most familiar with "Stinkfist", "Forty Six & 2" and "Aenema" (sic).  But I'm also going a bit ape over the likes of "H.", "Hooker With a Penis", "Jimmy" and "Pushit."  There really is an epic selection of songs on here, the impeccable craftsmanship of each song coming together to form one of the most artistically brilliant, if not THE most artistically brilliant album of the 1990s.  Yes, you had Nirvana's Nevermind, but that's not artistically brilliant in the same way this album is.  If you can get hold of this album, I strongly recommend that you get it.  Epic.  A
