After reading through the other reviews, I must say I'm impressed.  Tool really does appeal to a great variety of people.  I can remember when I first bought "Undertow", it was totally unlike anything else I  owned at that time.  It brought me into a whole new genre of music.  And  "Aenima" is keeping me there, quite solidly.  They have departed  a bit from "Undertow", but in a forward direction.  The music is  much more....complete, in my opinion.  It sounds much more rounded.  The  lyrics have lost nothing, either.  They are just as powerful and  thought-provoking as ever.  When listening to it, you just get the urge to  sing and scream right along with the it.  I personally, however, just  cannot do any of the songs justice.  They are definitely meant to be sung  by James Maynard Keenan.  Powerful lyrics demand a powerful voice,  and he supplies it.  It's very difficult to pick a favorite song off of the album.  I realize that "Aenima" has been glorified on EmptyV, but that  doesn't necessarily make it bad.  I love the message that it brings.  And for anyone  out there who doesn't already know, "Die Eier Von Satan" (I think  I spelled that right) is the recipe for Mexican Wedding Cookies, in German.  How often does the phrase "and no eggs" sound so sinister?  "Pushit" is likely to catch the attention of many, as I think the  message it tells is unfortunately a rather common one.  Basically, there is  not a bad song on the disc.  Buy it today.  Remember, they sold their souls  to make this record, so make it worth their while!  5 out of 5.
