Notes

"Opiate2 (Opiate squared) is a special limited edition package, that includes a reimagined and extended version of the TOOL classic track. The song is presented on a blu-ray that features a ground breaking short film directed by Dominic Hailstone. Bonus features include insight and observation from special guests, and this blu-ray disc comes in a special 46 page hardcover art book that includes behind the scenes and making of photos.

The song was originally released in 1992. TOOL have been performing this version of the song live on tour, but this is the first time the studio version of this song is available, along with a stunning visual in a commemorative package."

    Packaging is cool. The music is awesome. I enjoyed the video. But the sound quality sounds like I'm listening to 256kb mp3.

      Nothing this band does anymore is worthy of the (exorbitant) price tag that comes along with it.

      Fear Innoculum was meh and it's vinyl boxset was way overpriced.

      Their live shows cost more than ever but are a shell of their 1992-2002 peak era.

      Their ridiculous overpriced merch like blankets and crystal skulls that fetch thousands.

      Maynard's increasingly desperate attempts at comedy with that stupid agent gimmick he does with Puscifer.

      The mediocrity goes on.

      People are fools if they pay these prices.

        Gross cash grab by Tool. Had they re-recorded Opiate the price would be justified, but one song?! It's a cool revision of the song (just think what they could have done with the rest of the album!). Tool did not even remix the lonely one track into Atmos or 5.1. Yes, the packaging is cool, although who gives a shit about still shots of CGI? Kind of a bizarre release and not worth purchasing unless you get it under $9.99, which should have been the initial cost of the SINGLE.

          The package is nice but that's where it ends. A single music video that is mediocre when compared to Tool's previous video releases. For the price, you should get a digital of the video in MP4 and the song MP3, but it contains neither. Don't even waste your time with the "Special Comments" feature - you would expect it to be narrated by the director or Adam Jones, but all you get is two drag queens from RuPaul's Drag Race. A waste of your money. Collectors only.

            for the price it should have been all the songs from the album re-recorded... for the price, it should have included a CD or an MP3 link.

              Me and my wife joyed it thoroughly. PQ is great and it’s nice to see a video from TOOL again. I’d rather buy it than streaming it. Can’t watch it if the internet drops out when streaming. Nice to see someone still getting music out on physical media. CT

                  Pretty cool video and packaging. The commentary was gross. Not funny or clever. Wtf was the point of that?

                    would anyone know if there are differences between this edition and the European edition?

                      Video was cool, the commentary is just annoying. I would have rather an actual behind the scenes on the making. Only worth buying for collectors purposes.
