And if you do, or if you think it’s one of the best, what other albums do you like?
It’s a better-than-decent album for sure, but IMHO it’s not even Tool’s best album. I’d reserve that for Opiate.
No, I only own three albums that are even remotely in that genre, and I think that In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth 3 by Coheed and Cambria, is better.
Of course, you can say that it’s an accomplishment by Tool that I even like the album at all, but there ya go.
It’s too unfocused, and the artistic bits don’t mix well with the songs. Tool can do a lot better, like with 10000 Days or Undertow. But if you like it, you should check out Alchemist’s Organasm.
I would like to know how you coded the name of that album though. Pretty clever trick that one is.
Im Danish. I just wrote it. 
æ = Alt+0230
Æ = Alt+0198
It’s definitely my favorite Tool album, but I agree that it’s got a bit too much filler on it. The noise tracks just kind of get in the way for me.
Aenima is the bands most popular album with all the “radio-friendly” 
singles.
Its a great album, but not their best. I reserve that spot for Lateralus; if I’m going to sit down and listen to them this is the one I put on.
10,000 Days and Undertow are better, but Aenima is a decent album. I’ve been a Tool fan for years, and saw them in Toronto a few months back.
I have to admit that I’ve never sat and listened to the whole album, but I find Tool to be a bit repetitive, and I don’t think any band can ever lay claim to the “Best Album Ever” title, as there is always someone out there just a bit better than them waiting to record or release.
One thing I don’t understand is how many 18-19 year old kids I’ve had to smack down who claim that “Maynard is the best guitarest alive!”.
And well you should! Best singer, maybe, but guitarist?
There’s a band called “Perfect Circle” you might like
Seriously you may like to try “Red” by King CrimsonThe most Tool like album from a group that heavily influenced Maynard.
