Tool’s 1993 album Undertow is not only my favorite Tool album it may be my favorite album period. Intolerance is a heavy riffing straight up metal song, on Prison Sex they drop the low E to a B to get the extra crunch of the song, the lyrics like …

I’ve been playing drums for more than one year now. Over that time, I’ve tried several brands and styles of sticks. I’ve discovered that, when a company slaps “Good Wood” on its sticks, I should run the other way and save myself thirteen bucks. This company, which is based …
