"Aenima" won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance. On its second full-length album, this hard-rocking quartet delivers 15 tracks of unrelenting aggression and focused intensity.

Pros: Philosophy, spirituality, humor, anger, power chords, and crazy time changes- all playing nicely together.
Cons: Everything they've done since this album seems to pale in comparison.
Bottom Line:
Takes the principles of 70's prog and 80's metal, then fashions them into something new and cutting-edge. One of the heaviest yet deepest rock albums of the past twenty years. Read More

Pros: Calling it a thought provoking and cerebral masterpiece doesn't do it justice.
Cons: You can't have sex with sound waves.
Bottom Line:
Aenima is as challenging as it is rewarding as it is vulgar and silly. In other words, my all-time favorite album. Read More
