Tool power ;-) Leurs albums, leur son

Citation : What the hell is that on the cover?

Depends. The LP and cassette cover are just that white-splashy-square image, properly known as the "Smokebox." That image did appear on video screens during the 1996-7 tour, in its animated form. The CD has a lenticular case, so the images appear animated. (Haha, ænimated). The CD cover has the Smokebox amidst a moving field of green eyes. That image was created by Adam and Cam de Leon.

Outside the US, the animated CD came in limited quantities. The new cover is the static Smokebox image (sometimes with the words Tool and Ænima); the inside is a list of "Other Albums by Tool", complete with 16 bogus covers for these albums. These albums are, for the curious:

Gay Rodeo Bethlehem Abortion Clinic
Bad Breath The Other White Meat
