[edit] Artwork

Can someone explain what that is on the cover of the album, i mean i have no idea what it is, and is that other stuff mentioned inside of the album or something, and why does this all mean it was banned from stores??

i believe it was a sculpture by Adam Jones and it was banned from stores because of a nude fat chick and a nude dude El hombre de haha 06:38, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
That's a ribcage on the cover. –Pomte 06:48, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
yea but whats the meaning and y exactly did it get banned? I think that deserves to be added in detail to the article
It was Adam's sculpture, and banned for the offensive images inside. It is unclear whether WAL*MART or the other corporations though the actual cover was offensive. I have added a note about holding the cover up to a light. Doubt there is anything more to say about this. –Pomte 21:23, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
the ribcage is an expression of adam's long love of ribcages. moreover, maynard and danny discovered (while they were performing magickal rites, conjuring demons, that sort of thing) that there are many cosmological and divine prophecies that are revealed in a rib cage. (any ribcage really, all the cage needs is ribs). i read somewhere that the band's official stance is that you should kill your pets and/or parents and seek these prophecies from handling the ribcage.
why do you demand someone else tell you the meaning. what does it mean to you. El hombre de haha 07:14, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
ps dont kill anyone

[edit] Bill Hicks

Footnote number 5 mentions "Keenan's evangelical vocals" on "Disgustipated" but I always thought that that satirical sermon was spoken by the late comedian Bill Hicks, whom Tool has pain tribute to many times.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.116.165.249 (talk • contribs).

I thought so, too, at first. Until now, I couldn't find any evidence regarding this, when Tool members talk about Hicks appearing on their records, they mention Third Eye only - and I really have been looking for it.. So, I guess you have to keep in mind that Keenan also performed stand-up comedy, so it could actually be him.. --Johnnyw talk 09:50, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Disgustipated" in the same track with "Flood"

Can someone please tell me, which are the versions of the album that contain only 9 tracks, with Disgustipated following Flood on track 9 instead of being its own track number 10 or 69. -Thanks a lot! -Deba Tihs ´n´ Mad Dog 11:35, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
