“Undertow” is the progressive metal legends Tool’s debut album, and it’s a strong start from the LA based outfit. Less progressive, more grungy, this album hits hard and soft-launches us to Tool’s more complex compositions, whilst remaining in that more Alternative Metal scene. Notable tracks include “Sober” and “Prison Sex”, whilst my hidden gem for the album is the titular “Undertow”.
