I'm not a huge metal fan, meaning I don't own many metal albums, but this album is awesome!!!! The title track is my favorite...

I'm not a big fan of Tool anymore, but the album IS impressive. Schism is darn good!

I think Tool are a great band - I don't think the actual product is as good as it could be, I think the idea of Tool is better than the end result - and I have to say I prefer Aenima to Lateralus. Aenima has more variety, better actual songs and a resounding heaviness which is missing with Lateralus. Also, Lateralus really needs to be listened to in one sitting - you can't just whack on Schism or Reflection then stick something else on - it's like one 80 minute song. Which is OK, but I think they took a sidestep in the forward thinking songwriting and simply made an album which hardcore Tool fans would appreciate (after the 5 year wait!). Reflection is about the only song which is different from stuff from the past releases.... don't get me wrong, I fucking love the band, but they constantly miss the bullseye by a hair's breadth and it's frustrating, no matter how rewarding the music is

There is a slight similarity here IMHO to another artist... a certain RDJ if you know what I mean :o)

I lost metal a while ago, but thought that I might get into Lateralus. Didn't at all. I'm sure it's great for certain fans, but I'm done with metal. Anyone ever hear Devin Townsend's Infinity? Or any Ocean Machine? About the only metal I can still really appeciate (on rare occassion).

now i wouldn't call tool metal, dudes'.
btw, jarworski, you're damn right. aenima is an incredibly good album and latereralus is too much a repetition. i mean, some riffs sound really familiar. it's still a good album, tho. and you're right about the length aswell. it's just too much of the same. only the last few songs are experimental (read: have a different sound from aenima)
but hey.

Ugh, Lateralus is horrible! Its garbage! Compared to Undertow, or Opiate, or even.. *shudder* Aenima. They all got worse with time, although Undertow was a bit better than Opiate.

Every album by Tool rocks, none of them suck, and if you say any of them suck, you suck.
Tool is by far the best band there is, but Aphex Twin is the best individual that produces music.

I love Lateralus. I see tool as a one. The albums is a great combintation. Aenima,Lateralus,Undertow,Opiate makes a good tool collection thats realy awsome. You get the funny fuct part you get the serius spiritual part you get the anti/hate part and you get the love part. What more can you ask for ?
