As the title of Tool's 1992 debut implies, they're none too impressed by religion, though other targets--fear ("Cold and Ugly"), hypocritical moralizing ("Jerk-Off"), nonconformity ("Hush")--get their time in the spotlight as well. Opiate is a collection of heavy, aggressive, cynical music (though the tail end of the title track sounds more like acid rock), packaged in songs noticeably shorter than on their later efforts (Undertow, 1993, and Aenima, 1996). While not as impressive as Undertow, arguably their finest effort, Opiate has a definite appeal. If ear-crunching riffs and enraged lyrics are what you go for, check this one out. --Genevieve Williams

 Opiate April 24, 2008
Pretty good album. Anemia is better. I think this might be the last album by them that I enjoyed. If you're a fan of Tool, I'm sure you'll dig this.
 The Beginning February 8, 2008
This is the beginning of the rock legend. This is a very aggressive and direct album. They throw truth in your face.
are you thinking?? February 1, 2008
Yeah its edgy, angry, violent.. its young Tool, before they refined themselves, before some of the spiritual growth and experience.. Its an awsome peek into the beginning of one of the best bands out there, MJK's voice has matured, he has learned with time how to be more poiniant with just a whisper, but Opiate packs all the angst and frustration that are stepping stones to openminded adulthood. Its like being able to go back and listen to the frustrated overworked underpayed version of yourself at 23 ranting about the sheep surrounding you. I loved this cd when it came out.. It was relatable.. I feel like I've grown with them.. 46+2
Tool- "Opiate" (1992) November 18, 2007
Tool's 1992 debut (an E.P.) is a vital disc to any fan of Tool and/or hard rock/metal music. "Opiate" is aggressive and rocks hard. It's too short though (my only complaint). The songs are not as progressive as in their later albums but they show where Tool started and how they've progressed. I would consider these songs to be some of Tool's heaviest material. Highly Recommended.
As close to a Tool dissapointment you will get October 5, 2007
This is Tools first CD, and it isnt quite a "bad" CD, but if you are into tool this CD will seem to lack... If your diehard of getting all tool has to offer its a must have, if your funds are low and your looking for quality work... well this is not Tools best work.
