Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The elaborately packaged Salival is a reminder of how creative and powerful the hard rock group Tool can be. One disc of this deluxe two-disc set serves up 74 minutes (eight songs) of live material and outtakes; the other offers a VHS compilation of Tool's four grotesquely artistic videos plus the bonus clip, "Hush", from their 1992 "Opiate" EP. Although there's little that's new here, it's put together with as much intensity and attention to detail as the quartet's other releases. The musical high point is the driving but delicate take on "Pushit". It's also entertaining to hear singer Maynard James Keenan in a Neil Young kind of mood on "Lame". --Janiss Garza

Having shelled out on this on import i was always going to be biased towards this album, but im ecstatic so say that it didn't disappoint me in the slightest. As usual Maynards gorgeous vocals add to the powerful music. Every song it a treat, with the possible exception of "LAMC" (but that the point of the song!). clearly yht best thing on the CD is "No Quarter" and the amazing version of "Pushit". The videos are so artfully and amazingly well done they stand up to repeated viewings, with the standout "Stinkfist" being the most obvious. As this band have progressed they have gone to strength to strength, with this closing one chapter of Tool's career, it was the perfect prelude to the majest that was "Lateralus". You have to buy it. Now!!

I'll admit it. I'm an absolute Tool *fantatic*. I first heard them in New Zealand (where you can actually - shock, horror - hear them on the radio!), and saw them live out there in 1997. In my book Aenima is a good contender for best album of the 90s, and Undertow and Opiate are impressive too. As for Salival? Well, you KNOW you're being suckered into buying a load of stuff you've heard before, but I really didn't care. The live version of Pushit is fantastic, and it's nice to hear You Lied in a decently recorded form at last (bootlegs having been available for years). The clear high-point in my book is No Quarter though - somehow they managed to sound enough like Led Zeppelin for the song to sound authentic, while still maintaining their own identity. Well done! Admittedly, Salival isn't an album I'm going to be playing front-to-back for the next five years (like I have with Aenima), but it's a great album to dip into. And the video content is always good, if you don't mind the fact that they're a little "inspired" by the Brothers Quay. The one thing that bugs me about this album, really, is the fact that the release delay is absolutely typical of the UK. What is it with this county? If people aren't out there buying disturbingly bad CDs like Hear'Say or Robbie Williams then they're being "alternative" and buying Limp Bizkit! The more transparent the marketing ploy, the more desperate people in the UK seem to be to buy something?!? I'm confused. Ah well. Buy this CD, and take some small consolation that you can still get music like this over here. It won't last.
(And a note for any drummers who might happen to read this: Just get the album. Danny Carey is one of the most underrated players in rock today)

As a huge fan of "Tool" I could not wait for this to come out but unfortunately it wasn't worth the anxiety. The live and unreleased CD is great and the version of "No Quarter" is superb, but alas the Video is just the four promo releases which you may have already seen on MTV and still there is no Live footage of the band available. Apparently you get something extra on the DVD version but i am yet to see this. Anyway, all this aside the CD is worth the money and is over 74mins long!!!

Extraordinary images, stunning sounds...
Very special indeed. The DVD contains their four videos to date, the startling "Stinkfist" being the pick of a unique quartet of films. Read more
