Tools Lateralus A Masterpiece!!

[Saikpyro]

A am a HUGE Opeth fan but lately (when not listening to Opeth) I have totally fallen in love with this record. It took some time to really sink in but now I listen to it everyday. Im simply blown away by this masterpiece. If you havent immensed yourself in this record, do so now! (and dont disregard it after just on listen, it's a grower!)
Any other Opeth fan that likes this record?

Ps I recently saw that Martin Mendez thinks it's his favorite record of all time tied with Camels "Moonmadness" Cool!

 

[Reign in Acai]

That album kicks much ass. I dont listen to it often though

 

[chaveta]

yes i like it a lot, haven't listened in a long time... "The Patient" is a great song.

 

[Colonial Boy]

I used to listen to it loads when I was first learning how to play guitar cos the songs are so easy to play. The drumming is the key. Take Carey away and its fairly mediocre imo..

 

[Gymsokk]

I think its cool too, been a while since i listen to it now...

 

[Celestial-Voyage]

it's alright, i liked some of the other albums when I was a lot younger. Carey is one good drummer

 

[warsofwinter]

Yeh it's definately in my opinion one of the most well put together albums i've ever heard......... but I mean it's Tool .. would you expect anything less after a geat album like aenima

 

[Anti-Everything]

Someone stole mine a couple years ago, haven't heard it since but I did like it a lot

 

[BarronBlod]

One godly album

 

[suislidE]

Alan fix your sig buddy..

 

[Alex78]

good album, Aenima is better though.

 

[Torenstain]

Yea, I like Lateralus.

 

[ElectricWiz]

Lateralus, in my opinion, is one of the better albums of the last, say, 15 years....
A big statement, but I mean it.

 

[RBP]

lateralus...is genius....

 

[liquidtension]

listening to it now... is it nu-metal or something ?
at least the first 3 tracks looks interesting !

thanx for the advice !

 

[The Dude]

Nu-metal? That's pretty insulting. I was a big Tool fan before I discovered Opeth, and used to listen to Lateralus constantly. It took ages to get into but difinitely expanded my mind, and the artwork is cool too.
And the bit about aliens at the end freaked me out.

wow...nu-metal!?!?!? are u insane...??...dont believe what the media tells u and dont believe what some ignorant people in this board may tell u...but i'm sure they'll all agree with me when i say that tool is metal...meeetttaaalll mann...nu-metal doesnt have the drums that Ticks & Leeches has...nu-metal doesnt have the riffs Parabola have...nu-metal DEFINITELY does not have the lyrics the The Patient has...tool is metal...end of story..

and yes i've known this is a masterpiece for quite some time..3 years as a matter of fact...wow your late..lol..but late than never...check out the others....

 

[Post_Scriptum]

Ur alright man?

 

[unknown]

You realize there's a secret to lateralus? As in a correct way on how the tracks are supposed to play?

 

[Nico]

Would you mind freeing our minds with the true track order?

I've listened to this CD for the past 2 years... and it always amazes me. It has its phases, where I'll listen to it for a week straight and then leave it for 6 months. If you hadnt noticed, both albums Aenima and Lateralus have a very hypnotic effect... you sort of get put into a trance by listening to them the whole way through... its very, very weird.
