    smoke a joint and listen to 'part of me' followed by 'no quarter' and tell me that you dont like this album. It's impossible.

    Absolutely awesome. The live versions of Third Eye and Pushit are simply amazing.

    There's definitely some worthless shit on here, but the videos are entertaining, the music is incredible (especially the reworked "Pushit" and the somehow even darker cover of Led Zep's "No Quarter") and anybody with even a passing interest in Tool would be pretty fuckin into it. Plus, I mean, "Took you out behind the toolshed, put it on your forehead, Maynard's dick!" is There's definitely some worthless shit on here, but the videos are entertaining, the music is incredible (especially the reworked "Pushit" and the somehow even darker cover of Led Zep's "No Quarter") and anybody with even a passing interest in Tool would be pretty fuckin into it.

    This is the best tool CD. Very mellow, and this album expands on some of the best work of Tool from their previous releases. It gets better each time you listen to it.

    They're a band you need to see in person. This is a nice collection if you're a fanatic, but for first timers check out Aenima than Lateralus. I like this record, I'd just rather see them in person.

    Классный живой альбом от Tool и пока единственный у них. No quarter, Third Eye и **** в концертной версии особенно хороши.

  1. Beginning with the juddering monstrosity that is the live version of 'Third Eye', there is no doubt that the band want to be judged as an epic attraction. It's unfortunate that they've chosen to lengthen some of the tracks to the point of monotony.
  2. Live versions of "Hush," "Part of Me," "Push It," and "Third Eye" reaffirm the band's standing as one of alternative metal's most compelling live acts; unreleased studio tracks such as "Message to Harry Manback II" and "L.A. Municipal Court" definitely sound like abandoned material, but offer a look at Tool's quirkier side.
  3. A grab-bag set of videos and live and unreleased recordings that are more of an enhancement for devotees' collections than an introduction for neophytes.
