Tool’s Undertow came out in 1993.
Yea the “turns 20″ theme is beginning to jump the shark a little. Save it for the truly significant.
Even at the age of 12 in ’92 I knew this album was a guilty pleasure.

Elliott Smithyish
Yea generally speaking, I think the energy and overall consciousness from that era of bands has been left behind. But that happens with any type of era. So its better to just appreciate all the cool shit thats happening now.
I can’t shake the feeling that all these reunion tours lately are a result of the economic recession. Archers of loaf at bowery ballroom a few months ago gave me the same vibe.
People want to grow and move on to new versions of themselves. Regressing and trying to relive a past bright spot in their lives doesn’t really work.
Does anyone else hear Pecknold’s influence on Hamilton’s melody? Especially in the last part of the song. It’s so cool these guys worked together.
She’s a huge star because she is a heavily marketed, highly engineered product. Just like Doritos, American Idol, and the Superbowl. It’s just business men maximizing profits.
I think he would be relishing in how the internet has kicked the crap out of the music industry and therefore reduced the influence of money over creativity.
Sounds all too familiar……
The Beatles – “Let it be”
Morphine for sure. At a higher spot on the list than Elliot Smith should be.
Portrait of an American Family would be my choice over either of those Manson albums.
Writer’s Block
To me it sounds like a mixture of broken social scene, team sleep, and early animal collective sprinkled with some power pop vocals. “Growing” is such a sick song.
Good grief this song is painful down to the last scream. But I’m thinking maybe it is aimed to appeal to older generations since they have more money to donate. In general most young people don’t have as much in the bank. None of these guys are dummies.
