    Tool Is An Experience...

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 3, 2006

    Pros: A notch above their admirable previous releases.

    Cons: A little more on the mellower, more technical side.

    Everything about Tool's fourth album is an experience, starting with the packaging, which consists of a booklet that layers anatomical representations atop one another--the first page pictures musculature and blood vessels; the next, bones; the t...hird, internal organs; and so on. It's worth describing the packaging of Lateralus because it says much about the astonishing music within. Maynard James Keenan understood the expectations riding on this and delivered the goods! While it remains in the Tool tradition of trance-inducing progressive metal, Lateralus is tighter, clearer, crisper, and all around a notch above their admirable previous releases. Aenima was marred by muddy production and a certain predictability. Undertow had a cleaner sound but wasn't as confident or adventurous. With Lateralus, Tool have raised an already lofty bar still higher by coming up with a collection that kicks major ass. Can't wait to hear the new album 10,000 Days! Read more Less

    LATERALUS ROCKS!!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 2, 2005

    Pros: Its the best album!

    Cons: There are no cons!

    Lateralus happens to be the best album so far, Shcism, ticks and leeches have to be by far the best tracks on it. It seems like TOOL is getting smarter as they get older. If i could i would put a million stars for the rating. GET THIS ALBUM!!!!!! Man...yard, Hartnett, and Rizzo you ROCK!! Read more Less

    This is another TOOL album that is exceptional.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 16, 2004

    Pros: It's classic TOOL the way we've come to love it.

    Cons: Um... if anything, maybe a bit too experimental?

    Well, those who know the Beefman know that I have a personal and deep-seated love for Tool. This is a bunch of genuine musicians who understand their artform unto mastery. The sheer power of their amazing, cerebral lyrics is enough to inspire intelle...ctual conversation if you were to just read those lyrics off a page. Couple it with Tool's utterly awesome music, and you have another of today's greatest works. In a world of rehash, remake, and repeat, I'm always thrilled to hear something new from Tool. They are always amazingly original and always carry their own phenomenal trademark sound at the same time. They've become iconic to modern rock, and I believe they deserve every second of it. They are the stuff of which rock legends are formed. If I had anything negative to say about this album, it would be that in some very certain parts of the album, you can hear some overly experimental and genuinely "not trademark Tool" sequences slip through the music. However, in my opinion, this adds some character to the new album and makes it truly new. So as detrimental as that small fact may be, it is as much a positive characteristic of this new project from one of the best bands today. Read more Less

    Lateralus Review

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 19, 2003

    Lateralus is a very good album to listen to. I think that it is very artistic, when I bought it I looked at the plastic booklet of the body and turned the pages and saw the body begin to fade into nothing and looking at the creative patterns around i...t which reminds me of a magic that disintegrates the body. As you turn the pages, the body has more very artistic features which I think is fantastic. When you listen to it, the music generates a feeling of "intelligence" which I love experiencing and the lyrics are intelligently created as well. I think that Tool are fantastic. Read more Less
