i never gave the album all that much of a chance, i liked it on the first few listens, and didn't think that it really was all that special. but i found a pretty interesting describing some of the mathematics and ideas behind some of it, and an alternate tracklisting that supposedly makes the album flow together more. i haven't tried doing it, but it's kind of a strange but interesting thing if these "secrets" were intended.. and i really like the idea of a fibonacci sequence played on drums discuss.. |

|
I found it lyrically bland and hackneyed, but I suppose there is more to it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, yeah i agree with you about the lyrics a bit.. i've heard that the album was written with the band members under the influence of lsd, so maybe that has something to do with it. |

i think its the best tool album |

I think its the worst, but I found this interesting: I can honestly say that I never understood the album's fourth track, Mantra until reordering the album's songs. What I had originally heard as whale calls now had begun to resemble the worst imaginable dry heaves - or a stylized choking. Fitting, seeing as how the last line in Ticks & Leeches is "I hope you choke." The sounds in mantra is actually Maynard choking his siamese cat. Pretty cool. I'm going to try this different track order right now, listening to Parabola. |

i really hate maynard... ive met him, he is a horrible man |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Heheh, my friend thinks he's the devil after she was invited to the aftershow orgy. I saw the pass that they gave her. it was an emptied capri-sun with a sticker on the back of girls giving blowjobs to the band. |

i just tried this guys order using traktor to just dj mix the tracks... seems like he wants to believe that his alternate tracklisting is some devine gift... it isnt, the order makes more sense on the album... you cant split disposition/reflection/triad... its just too perfect... parabola / schism / ticks and leeches did however mix rather well |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so far, the guitar at the end of parabola goes really good into the guitar at the beginning of lateralus |
||||||||

|

yeah, I didn't get what the hell he was going on about, and I don't think his "Algebra 2!" education gives him any merit. It just sounded like mumbo-jumbo zodiacal number theory stuff. "13 tracks divided by 2 spirals equals 6.5, meaning that track 6 and 7 must be together" Uh, yeah! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah this is bollucks, i hate all these "omg hidden wonders - so and so band are really clever" things. dont get me wrong i do love lateralus |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eep. i wanted someone to try it who's already got the songs on the computer handy and such. damn.. i knew this guy sounded a bit too excited about his "discovery" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've got them on my computer, I'm trying it out right now. |

"The sounds in mantra is actually Maynard choking his siamese cat. Pretty cool." WHAT? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, he squeezed his cat and he thought it sounded really cool so he immediately recorded it and distorted it. Thats what it is. Sorry to dispel whatever ideas you might have had about pretty whales or something. |

Great avatar by the way! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thanks. I don't really know anything about Maynard or Tool. What I've heard by them I've liked, but the idea of someone choking a cat because it sounds cool goes beyond my comprehension. I wish you hadn't told me that. :) |

teapot you've met maynard? how was he like? did he try to stinkfist you? :D I used be a huge tool fan untill this electronic music came. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's a bullshit rumor about the cat. Tool loves to start these bullshit rumors just to fuck with people, because people are idiots and will believe anything. You should realize that most the hearsay about Tool is false. |

After Lateralus came out and I gave it many concentrated listens, I realized how much of a connection it had with the Qabala. So I researched deeper and put together a detailed explaination about the correlation. I think you'll find it interesting. (My Tool site is down, so I had to upload it to another site I run.) |

|
|
teapot, you've met maynard? decent! mappatazee, aftershow orgy pass?! yeah right! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

yeah i met him and billy howerdel during apc's mer de noms tour...i did a lot of chatting with billy while maynard was sat there, when i said something to maynard he just gave me a blank stare, billy looked uncomfortable, said something quietly to maynard to which he replied "fuck you" a female fan came up to maynard and his response was to clench his fists and motion to punch her to which she quickly backed off... i shook billy howerdels hand and then called maynard i bitter little man... (true story) no one ever believes me tho |

I don't lie! |

She did go backstage, and this is what he asked her: Maynard: "How old are you?" Her: "Experience wise?" Maynard: "How old would the state of Oregon say you were?" |

Fucking up the order of the tracks may result in a different mood but it won't make them any fucking better will it? I place this behind Aenima and Undertow |
