Either way, what Tool had on their hands in 1996 with this album's release was something quite unexpected, even for the most ardent lover of their previous album, Undertow. I'm not sure what's more impressive about Aenima the fact that it's got the most consistently brilliant set of songs (filler tracks aside) out of practically any album I can think of, or the fact that an album with an opener called 'Stinkfist' manages to be one of the most mature of its genre by the death throes of the last song. Review Summary: Aenima is a dark, dense and impenetrable gem of an album - it might well require repeated listens to uncover its many treasures, but those who take up the challenge will be rewarded with what might well be Tool's secret best album.
