{"product_id":"tool-opiate-lp-vinyl","title":"Tool – Opiate (LP Vinyl)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore *Undertow* rewrote the rules of what heavy music could be, this six-song EP introduced a band already operating with unusual precision and intent. Maynard James Keenan, Adam Jones, Paul D'Amour, and Danny Carey arrived essentially fully formed, channeling the abrasive energy of early-'90s Los Angeles into something more deliberate and unsettling than most of their peers were attempting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen=\"\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Sweat (3:47)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Hush (2:48)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Part Of Me (3:17)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSIDE B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Cold And Ugly (Live) (4:10)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. The Gaping Lotus Experience (2:16)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Jerk-Off (Live) (4:22)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Opiate (5:22)\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 614223102719\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zoo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.17.96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48656358113435,"sku":"193498","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/Tool-Opiate-LP-Vinyl.jpg?v=1780143110","url":"https:\/\/relix.shop\/products\/tool-opiate-lp-vinyl","provider":"relix.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
