Ask Maynard. After this all the bile was removed and replaced with detached po faced existential musings about whatnot.



This album sounds deviant and anti social, after this they sound buffed up and MTV agreeable, led by an incredibly dull spiritualist fruitcake.



Technically it's all fine but totally bores me to pieces after the fury of this album

You' seem to be implying that Maynard made Lateralus all by himself. In fact, the other band members did a lot more work than him so idk what you're getting at here.

I'm talking about the direction of the bands attitude changing, the message they communicate, the vibe they transmit. I understand technically it's fine if a little less raw and menacing sounding.



Seriously read any of the lyrics on Lateralus minus Ticks and Leeches and tell me they don't read exactly like a new age meditation pamphlet. I mean some of the ones here skirt close but at least they're mixed up with some other stuff that you don't need to light a joss stick and sit cross legged in a darkened room to feel.

I really love his cleaner voice. He's such brilliant singer I approve of everything he's done minus Puscifer. In fact sometimes I largely prefer his APC voice.

I'm not just talking about his vocals I'm talking about his passion, willingness to create music, lyrics, the whole package bro



Plus, new Puscifer is more satisfying as a whole album than most Tool

In that case, still the same for me. Say what you what about him about a person, but he will forever by one of my favorite singers ever, from Tool and APC both.

I'm jamming Conditions for the first time currently, pretty interesting but doesn't touch this or Lateralus.

Pushit is one of the best songs they've ever written omg. Maynard is stunning on that song. As well as everyone else.

The Salival version is definitely worth hearing, they extend the middle section and change a few things around.
