Salival, so named because the many fans of this truly awesome band have been waiting for it so long. Tool has been pleasing fans for 11 years this year, since 1992's Opiate E.P. Tool has definitly proved that they are an evolutionary band. This pre-Lateralus era set of Tool music videos and the cd contain support that fact. Only a few times before has a band proved to be so diverse with lyrics and music (David Bowie and Pink Floyd come to mind immediatly off hand, along with some others.)
The DVD includes videos for Hush, Prison Sex, Sober, Aenima, and Stinkfist. The VHS has all of the above with the exception of Hush. The videos are all very well done and very well presented with the tradition enigmatic Tool style. Sitting down and watching music videos has never been this much fun and enlightening. With Maynard James Keenan's vivid vocals, Paul D'Amour's magnificent bass playing, Adam Jones on guitar, and the truly demi god-like Danny Carey on drums, this band is one of those band you didnt know was needed until it came about.
Onto the actual videos. While cryptic the videos all contain keys to the meaning of the videos. And almost all of the videos are in claymation :)(the exception is Opiate's Hush.) The live cd contains some covers and some stuff live. Third Eye w/ Tim Leary (god of acid trips) is truly phenomenal. The CD ends with a recording from the LA Municiple Court and a hidden track. The hidden track alone is worth the cost of the set. This set does the Tool community justice and I encourage everyone to check it out. 10/10
