No self respecting TOOL fan would be without this in his/her collection... Even though he/she already has all the videos bootlegged anyway.^^^ BTW. It's "Opiate" not "Opium" (no self respecting TOOl fan would make that mistake either) And speaking of Opiate... There's a hidden feature on the DVD. At the main menu there are the small hands in the corner of the screen. Pay attention to those icons for a hint on which one to press to watch TOOLS first video ever. "HUSH" (the first words in HUSH lyrics are "fu@k You!") DVD only... you VHS owners are just SOL.

Well, this review will be ridiculously biased due to the fact that I love Tool and believe that they can do no wrong. All their videos have unbelievable visuals and editing that would make Tim Burton and David Fincher giddy as schoolgirls. Adam Jones is the director and genius behind the videos, and it's no wonder he worked on big budget movies like Terminator 2 and Predator 2. The songs are wonderful of course, and the CD you get along with it is some of the best stuff I've ever heard. Their version of "No Quarter" by Led Zeppelin is goosebump inducing, and the live tracks are incredible. **** 10 outta 10 A+ 2 Thumbs Up!

Salival is the collection of TOOL's work from 1991-2000.Five videos including Hush, Skinkfist, Prison Sex, Sober and Aenima, it is a must get just because you simply see the evolution of metal and art before your eyes, you can capture 10 years of hard work and inspiration. Adam Jones the director of most of the videos is an admirer of the famous director jan Svankmajer and the Brothers Quay, he takes what they do best and puts his image and perception on it and just turns it from film to brilliant astonishing work. EVEN if you aren't a film buff, get this just because of the music, they are an awesome band, best out there.

This box set from TOOL comes with a music CD and DVD, or VHS tape; but the DVD contains an extra video and is in Dolby 5.1 surround sound. Although the DVD doesn't contain any live material, the CD does.If you like Aenima or Lateralus, Salival is a welcome addition. The live performances have a supersonic sound quality which easily rivals any live recording. I don't know how they got this kind of quality and production value, but the energy of the performances is mesmerizing. The third track, "Pushit", was re-written specifically for the stage, and it's well worth the price of admission. The packaging concept of the set makes it a great collectors' item, as well.It is very cool to get the four major videos on DVD, plus a bonus video from "Opiate". Although there are only 3 or 4 great songs on the CD, they provide a new insight into the band, displaying a style that is unique to any of their albums. If you like their long, epic tracks like `Eulogy' and `Lateralus', you won't want to miss this. At this time, no other band out there is this complex and creative.The only complaints: 1) The DVD is too short, containing only the videos. 2) The CD only has a few songs on it, but at least it clocks-in at close to 70 minutes.I can't wait for the "Schism" DVD to be released in late 2001; it's their best video so far.
