I don't get it... over 1200 5 Star reviews? I just don't get it! Would you say their review's were not that of the album itself or, more that of dedicated fan ferver? The only thing that really impressed me on this album was the packaging. Maybe that's what the over 1200 5 Stars were for . . . No?!

I absolutely love Tool but I somewhat regret buying this LP. The light weight of the vinyl leaves me unsatisfied. Also, the labels look like they were applied by a three year old. The labels were sloppily pressed into the record, cut/torn and don't even feature any artwork (a little boring to look at).

The musical aspects of Ænima and the ritual "file under exercise**" have already been well-covered in the other reviews here. I'll cover an angle that I have never before read about this CD.

When mixing a record, it is common practice to bring in recordings of other songs, sounds, or whatever to use as references and / or "ear-cleaners".

This CD has become (for me at least) a Golden-Standard. The sound on it is SO well-produced that it serves as landmark; it not only sets a standard against which other works are measured, it is also like a lighthouse for those mixing new works. It helps one maintain or regain one's bearings in frequency-space.


** the comparison of one band to other bands such to allow those ... Read More:

This is the beginning of the rock legend. This is a very aggressive and direct album. They throw truth in your face.

I got this set as a birthday present when it came out. Thought about selling it on here because I'm broke. But I think I will keep it. I love Tool and I love this box set! It's worth the money if you are a die hard fan!

Vitamin records has been releasing these cd's like wild fires, just spreading orchestral music to the lesser audience of it. This cd will give you the rock music that originally started this who phenomenon (apocalyptica).

This cd is great for anyone interested in hearing the depth of a music genre. Typically when you hear a rock song, you dont hear really how the singer is supposed to influence the musical sense of the songs, but when the singer's role is put into a more balanced/equal role with the rest of the musicians, it contributes so much more to the musicality of the song. It is great for beginner musicians to understand that the singer has to be in tune with the band because he is added depth to the music, not just vocals. College music ... Read More:
