If you went back into the late 90's/early 00's and asked me what my favorite bands were, I would have gladly answered Tool and Rage Against the Machine.  Back then, I thought both bands were such musically-brilliant, insightful bands because of the fact that they were marketed as bands that were heavy metal yet were insightful and thought-provoking, and being the gullable kid I was due to my lack of knowledge of underground music at the time, I ate them both up like hotcakes.  For the last seven years or so, I've been neck-deep in underground metal and industrial bands, and to say that I've burned my bridges to Tool and RATM would be an understatement.  Rather, it would be more appropriate to say that I hijacked a TOS-1 Buratino flamethrower tank and not only decimated said bridges with the tank's massive thermobaric rocket payload, but also decimated any nearby engineering firms that could have rebuilt those bridges to said alt-metal bands. Okay, enough of my rambling, on to reviewing Tool's "Aenima."
