The greatest movie ever made..!

Sadly Over-hyped

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

This is Adam Jones' own personal contribution. The entire band has stated that the videos are only Adam's view of the songs. The videos have a very big feeling of modern art to them, reminding me of some of Matthew Barney's work. The Salival box set is worth buying for this... The CD is pretty good, but its nothing without having this DVD.Favorite Track: Stinkfist Rating: 9/10

When I heard Tool was making a box set back in 2000 I was psyched. They are my favorite band and I needed a fixing since their new CD wasnt due out for almost another year. The videos are among the best ever made and its a shame that too sensitive mommys and daddys got them pulled from MTV. They are dark, brooding, but incredible. The CD rocks as well. Great live tunes and covers that made this box set so worth it. The only other box set that I feel lives up to this is Metallica's Live Shit set. It gave you the most for your money. If youre into Tool and do not have this set yet, do yourself a favor and buy it now. Get the DVD version because there is a music video on that that is not on the VHS edition.

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

This video was a great reminder about why fans of Tool love them. I am one of them, and I have been one for some time (opium years), and never before have I felt a great appreciation for their art as a whole than when they released this collection of works. Sure the VHS owners (like myself) don't get to see the B&W film for an early song, but it still works my mind into a frenzy on how they came up with some of those images. Stinkfist and Prison Sex are two of my favorite, which I'm glad to have on there, and who care's if they keep releasing new videos that can't be on there? I love Schism and all, but this is about the evolution of the whole thing...you get the total experience of what their minds are like collectively, which is a great refreshment from modern-day metal and rock personalities all over.
