Tool arrived fully formed and furious on this 1992 debut EP, with Maynard James Keenan's confrontational lyricism and Adam Jones's guitar work already hinting at the labyrinthine progressive heaviness the band would develop across the following decade. For fans tracing the lineage of one of rock's most obsessively followed catalogs, Opiate is essential first-chapter listening, raw and unpolished in ways the later albums simply aren't.
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.
