Free Music Notes for Aenima
Free Music Review: How many works of art change your life?
Hit: 5 Stars
This collection of music awes and inspires me.
And now, a poem:
Start with four strings.
Narrow, numbered doors
Pass under footbeats,
Earbuds bumping their pulse.
Disinfected flourescent glass
Dims under tinted lenses
The passing, fading voices
Hint at careless hours of
Joy.
She, vampire missing teeth,
Demands evacuation
While an axe goes missing.
Cards and pieces wait
For the next strategic play.

Free Music Review: Champions of the Underdog
Hit: 5 Stars
"Tool" should be the first thing you see when looking up "Musical artist", these guy's do it naturally perfect, the epitome of cool is tool and this album just starts out with music that becomes embedded in your head because there is something here that is mysterious and catchy and completely different than everything that gets overplayed on the radio in a good way. Tool is music for those people that are searching for depth, talent, and maybe even a way out of the normal.
As innovative as Pink Floyd this proggressive rock style works for them, the band as a whole seems to become one big musical giant that dosent let up and it SHOWS in "AEnima", it is a musical journey into the abyss of the dark side of Tool before Maynard James Keenans' side project "A Perfect Circle" where he projects his more mellow and very talented soft vocal side yet with a few songs that would remind you of Tool.
Other talents in the group are drummer Danny Carrey who ive read has traveled the world and taken peices from many musical cultures and molded them together to make one exciting expereince to listen to, his drumming is unreal and i have not heard better yet! The guitar is matched by no one where Adam Jones plays a unique tune that moves you with the sounds and chords that are chosen. Adam also creates the art work for all the dark unexplainable music videos in which tool never reveals themselves but briefly in their music video "Sober" from their "Undertow" album and the never shown on tv music video for "Hush". And joining the band in '94 Justin Chancellor elite bassist for Tool sets the tracks on which tool rides, and does this with ease.
"AEnima" however happens to be the favorite of 5 (one being an Ep) albums of mine that Tool posseses. All albums are unique in their own way and all are almost completely different from eachother but never loose their legendary sound. They seem to be ripe for the picking on AEnima, it is raw Tool, closer to their fresh beginning days (Opiate and Undertow) that had more of an upbeat tempo than "Lateralus" and "10,000 Days" which seem to be polished up and have a more melodic/euphoric approach.
On "AEnima"(Track13) maynard expresses his feelings about LA, he refers to the city as "a three ring circus sideshow of freaks". But before you go thinking he's a pessimist there is an agreeable aspect about that. "Eulogy" (Track2) starts off slow with guitar and drum then begins to build up after a quick drum pause an injection of guitar is set to a beautiful ride, then ends in a memorable way with high low high guitar riffs and maynard yelling powerfully, one time, "goodbye" for about 10+ seconds straight, which officially introduces you to the vocal talent he has. "Forty Six & 2" (Track5) has a very interesting base line that builds up into proud guitar riffs and rolling intricate drumming in which maynard continues to build his vocals up from deep down. Every track is good to the last drop. Tracks #4,6,8,10 are not muisc but play a role in the albums theme if listened in its entirety.
"AEnima" folks, is an album above all if you are a hard rock fan of quality music this is an album that cannot be re-created, re-invented, or mimicked it is definitely a jewel to have in your collection of whatever it is that you listen to, it cannot be passed up.
"See i think d***s have done some good things for us i really do and if you dont believe d***s have done good things for us do me a favour, go home take all your albums all your tapes and all your cds and burn them, cause you know what? The musicians who made all that great music thats enhanced your lives throughout the years....Rrrrreal f****** high on d***s."

Free Music Review: Good CD but Amazon sent a cracked case.
Hit: 3 Stars
CD arrived damaged which would normally not be a big deal. But the case has a special viewing feature.
Tried contacting Amazon for a replacement, but was not easy to do. Basically had to send the one I got back and pay shipping. Not cool as why should I be penalized for a defective product.
Anyway the music is still great.
Free Music Review: One and One are One.... eleven,...so ,glow child glow... I heading back home..
Hit: 5 Stars
Aenima is trully a conerstone of the 90`s alternative age (if there was ever such a thing), its a record filled with both power and introspection pushing away all the clitches that make heavy metal so absurd and redundant. "Stinkfist" pounds away like nothing that has come out of your speakers. "Aenema" sinks its rage before exploding in glory and "Third Eye" brings it all back home. A true masterpiece.
