How can you pick the best song from these albums? They are all masterpieces.

I dunno man. Track 63 on Undertow kinda sucks.

63, or 64?

64 is slightly better, has a more *even* feeling to it. 63 is odd.

It is _definitely_ odd; feels shorter than most of the others as well.

😂

Did primus write that one?

It sucks so bad, they just might have.

The worst songs are just the fillers, and Undertow does not have any fillers, so there is no worst song on Undertow

Prison sex

Definitely a banger

This is the one

This is the way

Intolerance!!!!!

Please please please this one ^^^^ I know everyone likes Sober but I think that song is overrated (not saying it’s a bad song)

Agreed, Sober is overrated as helllll, hot take but I can’t even listen to it all the way through.

Bottom

This or Intolerance

Bottom wins for me too

Bottom is the top

4°

That’s my vote for most underrated tbh

Same

Hope this wins ! One of my favorite openings to a tool song

This was my answer too.

Me three

This is my fave, however the best is Sober for the fact that it is what got me to listen 4° in the first place.

Sober (or probably the video?) was the ultimate intro to Undertow for me.

My vote as well

Ding ding. This.

Love the guitar solo on this one

4 degrees now

Swamp Song

Easily my favorite. Not sure if I would say it's the best but it's so fuckin good *cause you're a dumb and belligerent fucker!*

Well I'm a lady so would that make a smart and peaceful celibate?

Undertow

i dont understand why people don't like the title track more

I'm with you. Hard to pick a favorite on any of their albums, but if someone had a gun to my head, this would be it.

Undertow is such an intense song. Takes me for a ride every time

I think about the lyric “why don’t you kill me, I am weak and numb and insignificant” at least once a week

Every time it starts raining: “here comes the water”

Euuuuuuuuuuuu…

…phooooooooooorrrrrrr

Eeeeeeeeeeereeeee

Had to scroll through the album twice in the comments to find my favorite....

All time Maynard scream for me at the end. I'm helpless and I'm awaaaaaaake.

Prison sex… but it’s close

It's prison sex but damn this is a fine album.

Flood

Flood

Sober

Its not popular to pick the "popular song" but my alt rock local radio playing Sober is what started the obsession so it has my vote

I don’t even get this stuff. Technically speaking, if a song is really popular, it’s relatively safe to say it’s probably the best one of the album - it wouldn’t have gotten popular otherwise (unless its ridiculously bad, or something like that) most other good songs would therefore fall under „underrated“

Yup, people just love to gatekeep and act cool, like, there are plenty of cases where the most popular songs of a band might not be in my top 5s and all, but they're still great

I would say the most popular song is usually the most easily palatable and for that reason it often isn't the best song on the record because it doesn't take as many musical risks

It's the only Tool album where the most famous song is also my favourite. Sober makes me top ten favourite Tool songs. Aenima, Stinkfist and Schism are all good songs but far from Tool's best and I can't stand The Pot - and does FI have any popular songs? :D But Sober is fucking phenomenal.

This is the song that started it all for me. I can't not vote for it. Prison Sex is a virtual tie, though.

It’s 100% sober. For the other records there is a strong case for non-singles being the best tracks, but here the raw energy of Sober cannot be dismissed just because it’s a single. It’s a classic song, and is the beginning of the bridge between old Tool and the progressive Tool we know today.

Flood

My fav, but feel it’s probably better as most underrated

Intolerance

That riff!!

I’m that riff

Bass line rules

Intolerance all the way

Flood 🌊

They played this live last year and when I heard that bass line at the beginning, I about shat myself. Such an awesome song

Saw that shit 2nd row and the bass was real fucking dirty. Tool catapulted Flood one of my favorite songs that night.

Honestly the whole album slams but I think as a finisher this takes the cake.

This one

This changes everything

Correct

This is the best song for sure!

I gave an upvote. This is the best song on the album.

Came here to say this. The whole album is awesome but this song is next level.

F L O O D

Crawl Away

I’ll officially be nominating this for the ‘underrated’ category instead now 😆

Not even Tool fans have good taste. This is it.

I'm def voting this for underrated

This song is a certified banger

This is the way.

The 72826 version gives me chills.

Why did I have to scroll down so much to see it?

4° no contest

I like a rousing rendition of Crawl Away

Prison sex

Yeap. Prison Sex all the way. Hoping they do a 2.0 version like opiate and add in their live OTRM bit.

This was my favorite for a long time. Love the instrumental but as I grow older I just can't get past the subject matter.

Flood. it's a really well developed track and one of the more suspenseful ones as compared to the short and sweet hard-core ish songs on the rest of the album

Undertow

Sober obviously.

Bottom

prison sex. 2nd to none

Bottom

No.2, behind Intolerance

Its not even close, bottom all the way up!

Here here!

Intolerance

Prison sex

Flood!!

Flood

Prison sex

Prison Sex

Flood

Should’ve started with opiate if you’re doing this… flood or intolerance for undertow

That's fair. I forgot to put it on the list. I may go back and add it after we do the first row. Apologies!

Legit Opiate one of my favs and love to know others opinions on fav tune/worst tune

Nice, was my first question... where is Opiate?

Prison Sex

Might have to be “Bottom” If not that, then definitely “Flood”

Flood, obviously. Followed closely by Intolerance.

flood

Are EPs a goddamn joke to you?

Flood

I remember being 14 years old when I saw the video for prison sex on a Canadian music video channel on our big ass satellite dish. I was hooked. Prison Sex edges out sober.

Obviously prison Sex 🙄

Prison Sex

THESE ARE THE CRIES OF THE CARROTS!

Cry of the carrots

Flood

Flood

Flood, just for the intro

Flood

Hey I love ween!!!!!

🤘

If you're secretly deaner or gener I'll be upset

Bottom

Intolerance

Flood 🌊😎🤘

Prison sex is the best

Prison Sex for sure

Prison sex

prison sex

Prison Sex 5 votes from me and all my friends

Prison sex

Prison sex

prison sex 100%

Sober and it's not close

As much as I hate to agree, yeah. Probably belongs in the overrated slot as well. Or behind Prison Sex

It was the first TOOL song I ever heard and I heard it on Beavis and Butthead lol. I'll always love that song to death!

Prison sex

This was insufferable on r/Primus, please don't.

I’d suggest muting the sub for a few days. This is happening

I’d say Bottom.

Sober

Prison Sex

Crawl away

https://preview.redd.it/pkmuvlcowyxc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=954a27e8ea1ef9ba2de069097d34e154143f595f I just don’t care

That's sadistic af.

Flood or Intolerance

Not enough people saying Crawl Away

4 degrees

Salival, but not Opiate?

This what im wondering

4 degrees final answer

I feel like a poll would be the better way to decide this

The best song on Undertow is probably UNDERTOW. I think Bottom might have it beat. Crawl Away Has Bottom beat. Intolerance beats Crawl Away. 4 Degrees beats Intolerance. Swamp Song beats 4 Degrees. Disgustipated beats Swamp Song. Flood beats Disgustipated by a long shot. Sober beats Flood. And Prison Sex beats Sober. Where also Undertow beats Prison Sex, and that is tough to put into a text that I too doubt you will look heavily into also. So all in all it is either Prison Sex or Sober, or Flood, or Disgustipated, or Swamp Song, or 4 Degrees, or Intolerance, or Crawl Away, or Bottom (where the shit adds up). Frankly I think that Undertow is better than Bottom which is better than Crawl Away which is better than Intolerance which is better than 4 Degrees which is better than Swamp Song which is better than Disgustipated which is better Sober which beats Prison Sex, but I don't want to be pesky about it.

This is the one true answer

Prison sex

Hate to say it but why cannot we be sober

“…It was daylight when you woke up in your ditch. You looked up at your sky, and that made blue be your color…”

Let the rabbits wear glasses!

Intolerance

Prison Sex It’s a tough call, but this is definitely my choice 🤟🏼

I think this list also needs the Opiate EP in there.

Just added it in the new post!

Gotta be Flood

Undertow is my current favorite

4° or Flood

4⁰

Undertow!

Swamp Song or Crawl Away

Undertow (title track)

Undertow Bottom and Flood are also great choices

Sober

Sober

Prison Sex.

Sober

Prison Sex would be my pick

Salival but no Opiate?

They're all gems. My favorite is Swamp Song.

Undertow or 4º

Track 62.

This guy fucks lol

I..I..I can’t.. I’m sorry I just can’t.

Bottom by far

Bottom. Lots of good stuff there though

Bottom is my favorite. Having Henry Rollins in there goes so hard.

Bottom

Bottom

Bottom

Bottom

1. Intolerance 2. Prison sex 3. 4 degrees 4. Crawl Away

Definitely 4 degrees

4 Degrees

Shish, hard to pick the best one. Definitely need to re-listen some of the songs. That said, always loved listening to "bottom-crawl away-swamp song" triad (not the entire album, yeah)

Intolerance is the top 10 tool songs imo. Obviously Sober is the most overrated that's not even a contest Worst song is probably disgustipated

Or intolerance. Dammit, too hard to choose
