"It's so small, and yet, it's also so durn big and satisfying!"
8 Dec 2005
Format:DVD
If you want to see Tool's 4 music videos from Undertow and AEnima, plus the Hush video from their Opiate EP - which is not nearly as cool as the others - then look no further.
Those who have seen a Tool video pretty much know the consistent level of weirdness that they should expect. Those who haven't should proceed immediately in a direction that will allow them to see one. Their blend of insanity is vaguely reminiscent of The Twilight Zone, Aphex Twin videos (Come To Daddy!), and Japanese horror films.
As Salival is no longer made and is in high demand, the price point is fairly steep. I have no idea why this DVD would be discontinued other than to hype Tool, or some other marketing or image thing; but the prices that people pay for it on eBay are indicative of the exceptional artwork contained within the Salival DVD.
The live CD included is good too, but it doesn't affect me like the videos - and I'm not some sort of MTV hooligan, either. (Actually, I'm not even a TV hooligan, but that's beside the point.)
Anyone who has been to a Tool show will see much of their live abilities coming through in this CD. Anyone who hasn't will quickly come to understand and even love Live Tool, the Other Dark Tool.
Their live "Third Eye" is possibly even more amazing than the studio version, and "Message To Harry Manback II" is an entertaining intermission. Zep fans will appreciate Tool's cover of "No Quarter." When metal bands (or nu-metal, or alt rock, or whatever you call Tool) cover classic rock songs, it usually seems to work.
If you can afford it, and you really dig Tool, then this product comes highly recommended. If you don't, buy the VHS version, or download some videos (legally), or watch a friend's.

No filler, all content, still looking for the secret remote codes
2 May 2006
Format:DVD
Talk about investment - I paid $32 at Borders five years ago. Now that is a rate of return!
But I won't part with it. The DVD reminds you of why Tool is an art metal band, emphasis on art. Everytime I watch Stinkfist ("Track #2" to the MTVheads), I see something new in it.
The live songs are quite excellent. I first heard the "No Quarter" cover on a college radio station, driving about midnight on the Illinois-Missouri border. It turned a dark, dimly-lit, desolate drive into an ethereal experience.
It's also neat to feel the growth toward Lateralus, with songs becoming less angry (as on Aenima) and more pondering, more inward-looking.
