The song gets heavier for the chorus, then progresses toward the ending. There is a heavier but still melodic verse here, which is good. The intensity goes through many changes throughout the bridge, which finally ends at 3:51. This bridge is pretty good, not the best Tool can do though. For a while there, Adam quiets down and lets Justin do his stuff, very cool. The vocals sound strange during the verses, but the chorus really shines through. This song is either about two things: two lovers reconciling, or fistf*cking.
The verses are very quiet, but the chorus picks up the intensity. Not a furious pace, with a slow, wandering beat. Pretty straightforward melodic hard rock. And they created one of the best albums of all time. Tool did what they wanted here, not catering to anybody. This album featured some hard rock, but it did not rely on heaviness and shock tactics like many other bands of the time. Normally the lead guitar is the most important position in a band, but Tool makes it work. While the drummer Danny Carrey and the bassist Justin Chancellor have a considerable amount of skill, the same can't be said for Adam Jones, the lead guitarist. While some bands may be more talented, the mood and the instrumental blend of Tool is something no one else can duplicate. Yet somehow, this album exploded like few others, earning a Grammy. The hermit-like members of Tool and the long songs discouraged publicity and radio play. The first of Tool's two classic albums, Aenima came charging into the music scene in 1996 devoid of almost any publicity.
