LATERALUS

This album is a true masterpiece of the new millenium, a complete and perfect gamma of textures, colors and energy all blended in here. Since their first single PRISION SEX, we saw a strange maturity and complexity from an unknown group, featuring great melodic lines with abrassive lyrics. This record shows the best performance ever from this band, from tip to toe, a performance to be remembered and be heard over and over again. Few acts nowadays has gained such respect as they do, and is no coincidence since every single record they had put out is a hit in it's own terms. The great technical side of the 3 players and the dark-sad-psycodelic persona of Maynard james Keenan become songs as desperate as REFLETION as the oppening song THE GRUDGE. This is exactlly how the prog- metal must evolute and be developed in the next years. a must have
