OB:BR - Tool - Bottom

I have been a fan of Tool since around '93 when I first heard the Opiate EP and Undertow, which I think I ended up buying at a huge music sale somewhere near Reading PA. I had been playing bass about 2 years or so, and when I heard the way Tool used bass, and heard the bass tone, I was hooked. Paul D'Amour left the band after Undertow and they added Justin Chancellor who fit into the band's sound almost seamlessly. Undertow, Opiate, and Ænima, the first three releases, have a very dark, bleaker tone than Lateralus, 10,000 Days and Pneuma. They all deal with heavy concepts, but the earlier albums dealt with concepts of abuse, pain, isolation, anger, and self-destruction while the later albums deal with spirituality almost in a metaphysical way, including both light and dark sides of creation. Mind expansion, higher dimensional awareness, and the nature of consciousness are also concepts that are completely at home among Tool's subject material. The song Bottom from the Undertow album Lyrically dives headfirst into some bleak material of abuse but offers an interesting perspective of how one navigates that space, learns to incorporate it the darkness, and becomes stronger for it. Maynard James Keenan's lyrics (and the spoken words from Henry Rollins) reveal a very harsh but essential lesson for those crawling their way out of the effects of abuse.
