The closest to hearing these songs for the first time once again

[santinochavez]

The fact that Paul D'Amour is the one that created all those awesome parts on "Stinkfist" and "Eulogy" means he's even greater than I thought.

These demos are a reminder
that beauty is a process but
the process can be beautiful

[JaviBee]

It’s so cool to hear all my favorite bass lines in Paul’s sinister growl

I love hearing demos of my favorite albums. Sometimes hearing the music stripped down to its infancy can be amazing, especially when it's recorded raw.

[KujGaming]

I'm glad these still exist! I knew Paul was credited for a few of Aenimas tracks. Paul is my cousin.

The scream at the end of anima. Probably one of his longest recorded screams.

Finally gave these a listen. This is 2019, and after knowing about this being released in 2007. D'amour's, crunchier, more percussive sound is definately there, and reminds me of TOOL'S vintage sound. I like the way the album came out though, with Chancellor adding his more subtle bass tones. But, it makes me appreciate where D'amour took the band. Good listen, I'm glad I finally gave this a listen after knowing it existed all these years.

Wow this really shows off how much Maynard was a natural tenor and developed his lower range and weight of his voice over the years

[edwardmilewskisr.]

Wow! The rough draft. Never heard this before. My favorite album of all time.

Ænima, Undertow edition. What it sounds like to me.

I love the demos. I always like to listen to the demos of my favourite records and see how the songs evolve untill the original record version. Thank you for uploading 'em.

The raw “to breath, to feel to know I’m alive” part is so damn good. But the polished version of this song is a modern masterpiece.

[goldenboy]

If I heard this in '94 I'd know for sure they were going to blow up.

Danny Octopus Arms Carey is really the true highlight here. Maynard sounds so raw and hungry for success, Paul has that raw bass sound that is very guitar like and blends with Adam very well and adds so much punch to their sound. Adam has a way to make simple melodies sound great and are laden with so much emotion and creativity. TOOL definitely created a niche all their own and doing so created a aperture of endless possibilities and perspectives ✌🏽♥️

The beginning of eulogy is so fucking brilliant

[TheBlackQueen]

I'm seeing a trend with Stinkfist that Maynard would progressively sing the heavier sections softer as the years go by. He sounds so raw and impactful here, more than the final album version.

Outta this world! I heard that these surfaced in 2007 online well over a decade after the album was initially released (my favorite tool album), MJK sounds sounds so young, like undertow era! Excited to see these guys on tour they still kick ass! Hopeful for some new material however them just continuing to stay together as a band is enough for this OGT.

3:27 so different but also it sounds good
