Are there any Tool fans here?


I feel that Undertow is far superior sounding than any others, especially the new one. It was recorded at Sound City back in the day where some of the best albums were recorded. Its console was the Neve console that Dave Groul now owns. Vintage gear and Eqs on that console can not be reproduced.

I’m not one to judge the musical tastes of others, but ...

My point about judging the demise of our civil society based upon ten-year increments in music? ... I rest my case. :-)

And by the way, that Cannonball Adderley/Bill Evans album is a must-have. Great performance and demo-quality sound.

The funny thing is is that I have my whole music library on J River Media and have the greatest jazz albums from Bill Evans to Sonny Rollins "Way out West", but I also have a broad taste in other things besides the standard and like to experiment with modern sounds, especially those that have been around for 20 years. You guys can have your opinions I was just considering the sound quality of the album.

Welcome! I agree on the Neve Console and all of those wonderful albums cut from it.


Happy Listening!

  • Is that the "Know What I Mean?" album?

Yes.  The best cut is on side two, cut three.  Truly a great album.
