LATERALUS

Lateralus, released in may of 2001, as the third album by American metal band Tool. Tool is considered to be one of the best progressive metal band of all time, and for good reason, the amount of thought that goes into there music and lyrics is unreal. Lateralus for example makes use of the Fibonacci sequence in the lyrics and music which goes well with the lyrical themes of overthinking about how the universe works. This album is considered to there best work, and I can see why, the thought that went into it, the instrumentation, the lyrics, the production, its just perfect. I will give it a 5/5, its an essential in any prog or metal collection.
