Tool's Lateralus comes into view as a jumbled mess upon first hearing it, but rather unfolds to a highly rewarding experience to the seasoned Tool fan and bearer of patience. The songs take about eight or so minutes a piece and the best parts you have to wait for. (Except the chorus for the album's seventh track, Parabola, which comes in at around forty seconds.) The disc proves Tool to be experienced musicians, still pushing their limits of playing and arranging, showing off their improvement of arranging and altering the typical boundaries of song structure. Most songs don't even repeat the same parts twice. Once you get through the skin of Lateralus and pick up it's innumerous nuances, you'll find it to be the most genius album ever created by humans anywhere ever. Buy two copies
