Tool have been frequently cited as an influence by New Metal bands that emerged after this album, in the late nineties and beginning of the 2000s. Many of the songs make reference to social decay, capitalism, boredom and media as some of the worst experiences in human life. Tool narrates the decadence of nineties Californian culture. Great tracks such as the progressive Eulogy, the recited evolution scale in Forty six & 2 and the brillant title track Ænima are some of the album´s highlights. This is an idea that appears in the whole record: some anti-establishment take. Ænima is flooded with anti hollywood spirit it is a product that stands against the same industry that produced it. The first track Stinkfist (censored by MTv as Track #1) says: “I´ll keep digging / Til I feel something”.
