nothing touches me the way this album does. Nothing comes
even remotely close. This is the greatest music ever.

i think aenima is better for single songs, but in terms of a
complete album, nothing beat lateralus

It's ok. I used to like it a lot more than I do now.

Maynard just seems to be really believing he has SOMETHING
TO SAY the whole time.

Tool is dope, but I prefer Ænima over Lateralus though.

people who prefer aenima over lateralus, generally prefer
the downward spiral over the fragile, which i think is
criminal.

lateralus is a amazing album. the lyrics are very thought
provoking and spiritual.

Tool used to be my favorite band in the world, like when I
was in high school. I listened to them so much, then I just
sorta realized that Maynard thinks he's elevated higher than
Jesus and he has to teach his followers. It's bullshit, and
I'd rather listen to other stuff now.

christ,
the lyrics in lateralus are the downfall. they are so
straightforward and boring. they sound really plain and
'been done' before. kind of like adult alternative or
something.

I thought the best thing about this album was the ARTWORK
and how they did that. Otherwise, I LOVE this band and I was
just dissapointed with this album. I would probably have to
give it a proper listen again soon.

i wouldn't say the record is an embarassment....but i
wouldn't say it's as good as their previous --
parabola/ole/pair-a-balls get on my nerves though -- i think
it's maybe a little tooooo much testosterone for my tastes.

i used to listen to it all the time, not so much anymore. I
saw them two years ago, amazing show. I really love the
live version of "pushit"

Well if you look at what Tool is doing, its understandable.
They are the best "pop" band out there. Their songs are
played on the radio a bunch and their live shows are big and
fancy. So of course you will attract tons of young people
(who like heavy metal/hard rock) but have to direction or
purpose in life. You have to preach to these people because
they have nothing else besides the music they like. I think
maynard knows this too (imo) so hes actually doing a good
service. Does any of this make sense?

Sorta. But I challenge you to tell me something you've
"learned" from listening to any Tool song.

name something you've learned from any song! Thats why i
like tool, they say to everyone what i would like to say
everyone. Just because I didn't learn it from tool doesn't
mean i cant relate to what they have to say.

i just finished listening to undertow for the
whoknowshowmanyth time, and it's still my favourite tool
album. it's cool on vinyl too, but i was dissapointed by the
lack of artwork (a single sleeve which held 2 12"s, front
and back art are same as cd).
