These segues are “Useful Idiot”, “Message to Harry Manback”, “Intermission”, “Die Eier Von Satan”, “Cesaro Summability”, and “(-) Ions”. Music videos were made for “Stinkfist” and “Ænema”. Promotional singles were issued for “H.” and “Forty Six & 2”. Several of the songs are shortsegues or interludes that connect to longer songs, pushing the total duration of the CD towards the maximum of around 80 minutes. The title Ænima is a combination of the words ‘anima’ (Latin for ‘soul’ associated with the ideas of “life force” and a term often used by psychologist Carl Jung) and ‘enema’, the medical procedure. The album appeared on several lists of the best albums of 1996, including that of Kerrang! and Terrorizer. The album won the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 1998. In 2003, Ænima was ranked the 6th most influential album of all time by Kerrang! In 2006, it placed 14th on a Guitar World readers poll that attempted to find the best 100 guitar albums. On its initial release, the album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart, and has since been certified triple platinum by the RIAA on March 4, 2003. As of July 7, 2010, Ænima has sold 3,429,000 copies in the US. The album was released on Septemin vinyl format and on Octoin Compact Disc format. The album was recorded and cut at Ocean Way, Hollywood, California and The Hook, North Hollywood, California from 1995 to 1996.

Ænima is the second studio album by American rock band Tool. There really is no other band like Tool (at least, not to the best of my knowledge), and this album is one I proudly place in my personal 1,001 albums you must hear before you die. I remember hearing Message to Harry Manback and thinking, “damn, I wonder who that is and why he’s so hated.” I remember hearing Ænema and thinking how much I loved that utter nihilism.

German just about always sounds powerful, though. I remember hearing Die Eier Von Satan as a kid and thinking, “wow, I wonder if that’s some Nazi rant or something.” Goes to show the power that tone of voice and language can have. This, and Antichrist Superstar (which I won’t include in this blog since it’s already in the 1,001 Albums book), really opened my eyes to the vast potential of art. This was an album that opened a lot of doors in my mind that I didn’t realize were there. I mean, Tool is one of my favorite bands, and I could’ve picked any album from their catalog and written about how much I love it and why, but I chose this because this is the one that resonated the most with me. This is still one of my absolute favorite albums after 15 years. Not that Grammy’s matter much in the end (in my opinion, anyway), but it does say something for the album. Shit, the album was nominated for a Grammy for Best Recording Package. I mean, hello? Tool (and just about any Maynard band) sells out just about every venue they perform at, and they’re the first band I think of when I consider the merit(s) of purchasing a physical copy of an album. Wow, guys… seriously? You write a book called “1,001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die,” and you don’t include any Tool albums whatsoever?! ? I’m astonished that such a fascinating band could possibly go overlooked by the writers of that book.
