- Tool's sonic assault is a labyrinth of prog-metal fury, where Maynard's guttural confessions claw at your soul like barbed wire. But "Sober" from Undertow? That's the raw genesis of their alchemy. Paul D'Amour's bass slithers underneath, a serpent in the garden of sobriety's false promise. It's not just a song; it's Tool birthing catharsis from chaos, forcing you to stare into the abyss of your own vices. Edgy? This track's the razor edge between genius and madness.
