 Topic: Best Song in Lateralus?
Posted: December 06 2005 at 18:17 |

I think it's Schism, it has an extremely odd time signature (which I don't particulary care for, but it's a plus), great lyrics, and that mellow part around the 4:50 that is just awesome.

I'm a fan of the title track just for its sheer complexity and beatiful brilliance. all the math thats incorporated (i.e. fibonnacci sequences) is a pretty amazing accomplishment.

i think the whole album is great, but my favourite song is probably
ticks & leeches, especially beacause of the brilliant drumming.

I love the whole album but if I have to pick will say Parabol/Parabola.
Incidently those people who own this album what is your copy called Lateralis or Lateralus? I have an early release that has a typo on the outer sleeve calling the album Lateralis!

The whole album is amazing but my favourite part is when they play Parabol then it goes wham straight into that massive riff of Parabola, its brilliant and such a powerful song, gets me everytime i hear it.

That would be The Grudge! and that would be my SECOND favorite
song....as now i'm growing in love with quieter "damnation" songs (this
is coming from an avid Opeth fan hehe). This includes track 10:
DISPOSITION, track 11: REFLECTION and track 12:Triad with REFLECTION
being my favorite...I believe that is the one with the deranged sax in
it..yea that one.

The Grudge, by far. Not only the best Lateralus song, it's the best Tool song.
