Yes, the two wings songs are great, the rest is crap. I haven't listened to that cd in about a year I think. I've listened to everything else Tool TO DEATH. I was hugely dissapointed.
I would scarcely think that an exclamation point followed by a series of zeros can be classified as a number. Then again, it can scarcely be classified as a word either, so I will settle the issue by merely labeling it as a foolish and inexcusable early morning mistake.
It is ok for Tool standards, but not half as good as Aenima or Lateralus, there are some filler songs and boring stuff in it. Overall it still is a very good album, with some killer songs like Vicarious, Jambi, The Pot and Right in Two.
How can someone mention stand out tracks without mentioning the best tracks on the album? This album is definitely FAR ahead of anything pre Aenima (and in my opinion its better than that).
Undertow is still my favourite. Some nice songs but too much filler (as with Aenima and Lateralus). I'd like to see a bit of evolution to be honest. Aenima and Lateralus were good albums by any standards but it's starting to get boring.
Lateralus doesn't have any filler (imoomiomioim) at all. Aenima has too much of those joke tracks, but the regular songs pwn. Both albums aged quite well and survived the test of time, i still like them a lot.
