I really like this album
Tool is amazing

Where do you start if you're a Tool fan? Well a good idea would be the opening 4 bars of 'Vicarious'. Great guitar riff that builds into a near overwhelming crescendo until crashing into into the sonic oxymoron that Tool songs are known and loved for.
As a long time Tool fan I say this as the perfect Tool album, a little of the old 'rawk' they were so good, but with plenty of the original and journey like sequences they seemed to perfect on Lateralus. The two stand out tracks for me are 'Vicarious' and 'The Pot' with the latter taking it's place at the apex of my favourite Tool songs of all time.
The only negative thing I will say about the album is that there are too few tracks, and at times a little too much self indulgence, as is evident on Viginti Tres, but then again without these traits, they wouldn't be Tool!

This album shows the musical and lyrical brilliance that still resides in the genious musicians that make TOOL. Simply put you're a fool not to buy this album. Creepy but profound lyrics draw you into the music.
