2 THINGS have been discussed on this newsgroup concerning the new album.
these things were points of confusion, mysteries that Tool has once again
showered their album and us with.

these 2 things in previous question are:

any particular meaning to the art on the CD itself (view from the back of
maynard, leg up around his neck)

the meaning of third eye


both of these things seemed very obvious to me within seconds. and im
pretty sure it was the same for everyone else who got AEnima. its just
that i want to make sure that i have the right idea on these things. so,
if you differ on my opinions on either of these things, please post about
it here, id love to discuss.

the art on the CD: it plainly seems to be a picture of Maynard sucking his
own dick. im not sure what else it would be. it fits in with Tool's
previous sexual oddities, also.

the meaning of third eye: "prying open my third eye" another song about
molestation, molestation, and molestation. it immediatly seemed obvious to
me the third eye was his asshole.

im nearly positive im not alone in these ideas, but id like to be sure.
post what you think about all of this and more

The model's name is Alana Cain(male?). It's not Maynard - if you look
to the couch, you'll see him on the far right(naked guy). Alana sounds
feminine to me...what would a female be doing in a position like that?
Any thoughts?
Also, for those who don't know, Bill Hicks was a comedian from Houston
He died in '92 from cancer(he was only 32 or so). I found his "Sane
Man" video at Hastings about 6 months ago. It is DEFINITELY worth
looking for! You can order it from Kevin Boothe at his website(sorry,
don't know it off hand-do a search).

Anyone know haw to get official lyrics for Aenima?

I Dunno.

About the dick-sucking, I don't see why not. That's what I thought it
was.

But the third eye part: One of the biggest theme I say was the belief
that magic, drugs, and free thought can allow you to reach another level
of being. Third eye is an ancient metaphor for a state of realization,
thus a higher form of being. I hear it suggesting drugs, magic, etc. can
force this change. The text inside seems to support this.

Got me! I'd like to meet her, though. Definitely not Maynard, though:
no tatoo.

I found some that seem pretty legit at http://TOOLshed.down.net/

They claim that Maynard sent 'em. They also have pictures, interviews,
tab, etc. It's worth checking out.

Actually, it's probably the same guy as in the picture in the moving
picture inside the liner notes, which would mean it's not actually Maynard
(since he's busy in the same picture being entertained by the man on the
floor). However, if he were actually capable of doing such a thing, it'd
make seeing the concert a whole new experience...

It's a contortionist named Alana. Maynard has a tattoo along his spine.

Wait, a tattoo of a spine on his spine, right? I forgot about that.

Yeah- it is obvious that the 4 guys on the couch are the band watching
someone else... maynard can't be the one on the floor cause he's the one on
the far right of the couch- the one that throws that thing on the floor
[What the HELL is that??]
