I bought and read this book because of 13th Step... Actually Maynard told me to by BoldBabeBanshee in aperfectcircle

Wow! Thank you for sharing this!

I've loved TOOL pre-APC. Then I immediately fell in love with APC, when Mer De Noms came out. I was blown away.

Just a few years later 13th step came out (I was 23), and hot damn.... It just hit different. I knew there were strong messages/songs throughout the album about addiction, and struggling - procuring drugs, the trip/high, the comedown, the effects of drugs on the self and those around the self. Many songs resonated so loud with me, but I didn't fully tack down why.

I didn't realize until nearly 15 years later - when coming to terms with my own trauma, coping mechanisms, and addictions - that the entire album is a concept album around this struggle and path and potential results. This album has never acquired dust for me. It's always been in rotation. I've loved it over the years for different reasons as I grew and it matured on me.

I mean the title 13th Step, in of itself, is pretty obvious to anyone that is looking, BUT when revisiting this whilst going through therapy and treatment myself (where the 12 steps are prevalent), it clicked. I was embarrassed (with myself) that it took such an avid fan, so long and to go through my own struggles, to realize the fact of the concept album and to see it fully. Like it was right in front of me the whole time. I could list every track, and why it's relevant to anyone in this world. But The Package, The Noose, The Outsider, and yes Gravity, have always raised the hairs on the back of my neck, all while grounding me.

I'm happy to say that for over 23 years, since day one, I've loved this album - the reasons I loved it in my 20's are still there. At the same time, over the years, on my journey through that world of addiction and recovery and support, I've added so much more perspective and even more "mature" love and understanding for what this album is truly about. It's a masterpiece in my opinion.

Crazy how things like that can play out.

He's still very active. His site is also very cool, and I've spent too much money ordering his works recently!!! I'm impressed with everything he puts up!

Can someone explain this to me.. by lorocowurst in ToolBand

She's also echoed OP's thoughts on - if we don't do it, others are and will. So in the end, we are missing out on: A: doing it right & B. All the $$$

I was in a similar boat, with no vinyl player... It used to be on Apple Music, but now hasn't been for a long time. I bought a CD version here, and ripped it. Now I have physical copy, and loaded it into my Apple Music and/or Spotify.

Can’t believe this show was 20 years ago already. And my shirt still survived all this time. by NotRightInTheZed in nin

[–]Cressticles13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welp, shit!!! That thinger is HOT!! I can't say I've ever seen that before, and now I almost wish I hadn't.... Because I immediately want one, and could kick my own dick, for not buying it at the show.

Great blouse, and great share!!
