| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Jan. 01 | OK, here is my second thoughts on the new album. Yesterday, I thought it sounded pretty repetitive. But I have been listening to it since, and have gone through the whole thing a few times. Then I turned it up. It became a whole different album. You can hear all kinds of things you can't hear when it's soft. Musically, this album is better then I thought, you have to pick it apart a little. It has many levels to go through. There's also some really great riffs here. Listen to the riff on track 5 "Schism". That's some good shit. I also really like track 7 Parabola, and track 8 Ticks & Leeches. It is true, that most of the songs could have been about 4 minutes, but if you listen to the whole thing, it makes sense. Lyrically, Maynard hit the nail on the head. He's got some great lyrics on here. Here's the problem though. When they mixed the album, I think that they made his voice too soft for most of the tracks. You have to turn it up really loud to hear what he's saying. I don't mind mysterious, but every track? That's a little too much for me. So my second thoughts on this album are, it's a winner. I don't know how I'll feel about it in a month, but right now it was worth the $15.  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | quote: Maynard...I noticed the same thing. I have only been listening to the CD on my Diskman and haven't had the opportunity to listen to it on my stereo yet, and had a pretty hard time hearing the lyrics. Also, if anyone has a link to the site with the lyrics on it, please E-Mail Me or post it on the board. Thanks!

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | quote: Not at all. It's funny to hear people argue that ask is better engine lmao. I bought the album even though i downloaded all the songs. Tool is one of the few bands I would consider buying most i just burn to cdr.  Email me at [email protected] or [email protected] IM me at stickysituation2 or pinkorag | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | OK. i have been waiting to post my opinion until I gave the cd i really good listening to.. Now that I have listened to it about 5 times since I got it on Tuesday, I must say it kicks fuckin ass.. Maynard's voice is incredible as usual and it is an excellently put together 77 minutes of music.. it is pretty different than the other 2 cd's but they havent sold out and they still have stuck to there orignal roots. proud graduate of Newbie University.

| Psychopath Registered: May. 01 | Hey, I downloaded schism on Napster when I heard it on the radio and STILL went out and bought Lateralus when it came out. Napster fucking rules. Some people use it to download a whole album of stuff, which is ass. Then they should have to pay for it. But guys like me, who only download like one song from an album, NEED NAPSTER. And Tool is great for this reason: With every album/ep/DVD/whatever they put out, their skills get honed and their talent gets more refined. If you listen to the rockin' of Undertow and then listen to Lateralus, you'll be amazed at how different yet still fucking awesome they sound. Adopted by Fez as of 5-13-01 | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Apr. 01 | quote: I think having the vocals so far in the background is sheer friggin' genius!! The band is by far the most talented and artistic around today. Read the review in Rolling Stone, it hits the nail right on the head. I thought they were amazing when I first heard "Opiate", and, they just keep getting better. Got a free copy, and , I'm going to buy the real thing in the morning. TOOL FRIGGIN' ROCKS!!!  Sluggo667...Neighbor of the beast... | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: May. 01 | Also, when I first listened to Aenema, I was disappointed. I was used to Opiate, Undertow, etc. It was so similar, yet I just couldn't like the whole album. One thing about Tool, they are so fucking hypnotic. The more I listened to their album, the more I loved EVERY FUCKING SONG on it. I haven't felt that way about an album since Nirvana. If anyone has any doubts about Lateralus, just listen to it a few times. You'll understand. Adopted by Fez as of 5-13-01 | ||||
