LATERALUS

One thing about Lateralus that amuses me is how easily it flows together. Lateralus isn't quite as heavy as all of Tool's other albums, but thats ok, i prefer Lateralus to ANY of their other material.

There's a few really big songs on this album, including the great opener, The Grudge, in which Maynard gives an astonishing vocal performance.

The songs were obviously written to go together, songs like Schism and Parabola are heavier and fit in surprisingly well with some of the "filler" tracks that are moody and mysterious, not really filler at all in my opinion.

My favorite track is Disposition... which most people call a filler track. Theres something so eerie about it that makes my skin crawl and my ears crave more. Its mysterious and personal sounding.

Overall a really good album, by far Tool's best
