"at least you dudes can be honest with yourselves and slap the 2.5 maybe 3 on it...."
I honestly expected this to be a 2.5 and it ended up pissing me off enough to earn a drop. Pneuma was my favourite and is in solid 3.5 territory. Gonna give this another listen soon out of curiosity though...
"who out of you guys has seen this band live?"
I'm sure their live show is interesting and engaging compared to this, but there are many other things I'd spend my money on ngl

@Titan - we really shouldn’t pay attention to the comments coming from the 1’s and 2’s. It is simply ludicrous to rate this album that low and they should not be taken seriously. It is just a way for those people to stir shit!

A self-help book to point me towards your metal band? Give me a second while I drop my current read and delete my recent digs playlist!

not necessarily, johnny is either trolling or just mentally retarded, there is nothing in between those two theories that someone with a double digit I.Q. could conjure up that this album is a 2.0

Won't pretend I don't enjoy seeing this album getting the piss ripped out of it, but I can promise you this is an earnest rating

There goes my theory that it wouldn't be worth reviewing this album because of the irritation it would cause

Since when were Reddit users the strawmen for Tool devotees?

>wouldn't be worth reviewing this album

no one told you to review the album and im pretty sure everyone agrees with me that you probably shouldnt write a review for this album based on principle

It's almost like everyone has a different view on what a 2 or 2.5 is. I will probably give this a 1.5 because it was boring.

well it appears he has a hatred for the band in general by several posts i have read which leads me to believe the review would be psuedo genuine and extremely subjective, is this person a mod? weird website

Not sure what principle you're referring to there, but thank you for providing a crystal-clear refutation of my prediction that Tool fans would be likely to throw a sulk over a comprehensive write-up of this album's failings (and otherwise), but not over low numbers on a shitpost thread. Looks like I have nothing to lose aside from the time it'd take to stitch a few paragraphs together...

I don't hate the band - I respect their rhythm section and think Lateralus and Aenima are alright in their way. I do, however, think this is immensely disappointing structurally, creatively and (to a lesser degree) aesthetically for a number reasons. I'm not sure what you mean by pseudo genuine but can promise anything I wrote would be fully supported by reasoned arguments. If you genuinely don't believe such a thing is possible, I'm not sure you're in a position to point the finger at narrow or absurd perspective here.
