Notes

This Volcano reissue uses a sleeve that still contains the Zoo logo and old cat# 72445-11027-1 while the labels have the Volcano logo and the updated cat#.

Some copies from this pressing are known to have been mispressed: see - Opiate

When sealed, features an old style horizontal shrink overlap on the back.

Side B contains a hidden track, "The Gaping Lotus Experience", in a parallel groove.
Both it and "Cold And Ugly" lead into "Jerk-Off".

Sleeve differences from this pressing:
-The spine does not contain the name of the EP or the band.
-The entire sleeve has a more reddish tint.
-The copyright information on the bottom rear is a less sharp font and colour.
-The Parental Advisory on the cover is part of the sleeve, not a sticker.

    Flat. Noisy and pretty lifeless to be honest. What a noisy record!

      Mine sounds great after a nice clean, had to snag a copy before it got pricey like Undertow has. Mine also doesn’t seem to have a double groove, which is a little sad but not too big of a deal. I personally love the EP, very raw and heavy, Hush, Part of Me and Jerk Off in particular are just so rad, and the title track is iconic. Fingers crossed their whole discography gets nice quality deluxe reissues like NIN has.

        It's just an ok EP to be honest with you. Shown that Tool had potential which they soon achieved after this and then went into the stratosphere. The live tracks and Opiate are the best things on here for me. In of this particular pressing, it's nothing special. About as good as the sound of the CD pressing.
