    I once asked Henry about this. He explained he was so blown away by the level the band was operating at - considering how new they were as an outfit.

    I remember vividly when this album dropped (I have the skateboard company 'Santa Monica Airlines aka SMA for introducing me to Tool by featuring 'Jerk Off' in one of their skate videos, John Carpententer also played a huge role in blowing this band up by featuring them on the soundtrack for 'Escapse From LA', the song, 'Sweat' was featured on it, as well), 'Bottom' is by far my favorite cut on the record (and the entire record is phenominal, btw), the emphasis and delivery Rollins gave on Bottom still gives me chills borderlining an out of body experience to this day (If you have not, obtain a copy of this album on 12" vinyl, probably one of the best mastered rock albums I've ever heard to date, I have the original press that I got when it dropped, as well as the repress), Undertow and Opiate (hell even Opiate sounds amazing for half of the songs being live, the mastering is insane to experience on a legitimate analog setup with really good bottom end), Sylvia Massy hit this one clear out of the stratosphere, this entire album is a huge waypoint in musical history, that won't soon be forgotten, if you haven't already, do yourself a favor and obtain a 12" vinyl LP copy of Undertow and Opiate, they are simply put, incredible to experience.
