Arguably their finest album, this follow-up to the Opiate EP showcases Tool at their best, assisted by clean, crisp production, without the muddiness of Aenima. Edgy guitar riffs are complemented by spitting, heavy bass, especially on Sober and Crawl Away.
Lyrically, Tool are at their vitriolic best, targeting religious hypocrisy (Intolerance and Sober), the loss of innocence and its consequences (Prison Sex), and deliberate ignorance (Swamp Song). Henry Rollins makes a guest appearance on Bottom, which, along with 4 Degrees, deals with questions of identity.
Undertow is also Tool's most musically adventurous album, lacking the occasionally numbing sameness of Aenima, and with considerably more sophistication than their previous work.
