13 years ago, Tool released this album and was thrown into the same category as everyone else coming out of Seattle or the West Coast at that time.  This wasn't a band composed of young men in big pants or bleached hair.  As a matter of fact, the drummer was already over 30 when he was featured on his band's first release and the remaining members were closer to 30 than 20.  This wasn't a band that was jaded in angst and wasting away to addiction, as they were an angry, yet very experimental group.
