| AENIMA 1. The album art of Ænima is done by Adam and Cam DeLeon. Also on the inside booklet there is a purple man, all of the lyrics are written on him. The purple man is a sculpture of Adam. 2. The album is dedicated to Bill Hicks, the band’s favorite comedian and Maynard’s very close friend. Bill died in 1993. Bill Hicks in mentioned in the liner notes, not 1, not 2, but 6 times! 4. Paul is not listed in the liner notes even though he wrote "Stinkfist", "Eulogy", and "Pushit". 5. On the animated map of the United States in the jewel case, the Oklahoma and Texas border is messed up. Oklahoma’s panhandle is longer than it should be. 6. Maynard is whispering saying "Join in my, Join in my child and, Listen ... , Digging through , My old numb shadow" during the into to "Forty-Six and 2". 7. "Message to Harry Manback" is an actual answering machine message. In an interview, Maynard said, "Message to Harry Manback is a recording of the words of an uninvited Italian guest who came to my house one day. A so-called friend of a friend of a friend of Harry's .... Before we finally managed to figure out that nobody really knew him, he had already emptied the fridge and run up a huge phone bill. He got kicked out of the house." 8. In the song "HWAP" the words "OGT back in ’92 on the first EP" means this: OG means Original Gangster. The T means Tool. The words together mean an original Tool fan. The ’92 part is when Opiate was released, it wasn’t an album, it was an EP. The basic meaning of the whole song is about how Tool hates sellouts. 9. The song "Die Eir von Satan" is all in German! It means the eggs of Satan and is a German recipe for a cookie using no eggs. 11. The meaning of the song "Ænema" is summed up in the last line of the song "Flood" in Undertow. Why the album title, Ænima, is spelled differently from the song "Ænema", the song that represents the album (i.e.: Opiate has a song called "Opiate" and Undertow has a song called "Undertow"), is a mystery. 12. In the beginning of "Third Eye", Bill Hicks is telling a joke. |
