Description:Opiate by Tool, released 13 April 2017, includes the following tracks: "Part Of Me", "Jerk-Off (live)" and more. This version of Opiate comes as a 1xLP. The vinyl is pressed as a opaque disc. -
As the title of Tool's 1992 debut implies, they're none too impressed by religion, though other targets-fear ("Cold and Ugly"), hypocritical moralizing ("Jerk-Off"), nonconformity ("Hush")-get their time in the spotlight as well. Opiate is a collection of heavy, aggressive, cynical music (though the tail end of the title track sounds more like Acid Rock), packaged in songs noticeably shorter than on their later efforts (Undertow, 1993, and Aenima, 1996). While not as impressive as Undertow, arguably their finest effort, Opiate has a definite appeal.
This Volcano reissue uses a sleeve that still contains the Zoo logo and old cat# 72445-11027-1 while the labels have the Volcano logo and the updated cat#. Some copies from this pressing are known to have been mispressed: see - [r=1260920] When sealed, features an old style horizontal shrink overlap on the back. Side B contains a hidden track, "The Gaping Lotus Experience", in a parallel groove. Both it and "Cold And Ugly" lead into "Jerk-Off". Sleeve differences from [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/1554087]this pressing[/url]: -The spine does not contain the name of the EP or the band. -The entire sleeve has a more reddish tint. -The copyright information on the bottom rear is a less sharp font and colour. -The Parental Advisory on the cover is part of the sleeve, not a sticker.
