Lateralus is so very trippy.

[moeburn]

I have listened to Tool's Lateralus album while high about 50 times now, the words are the trippiest thing i have ever heard. I could just read the words without the music and freak out.

Listening to it while reading this blew my mind. It all made so much sense.

Life is unreal, death is also unreal, only the reality which you experience is what is true and eternal.

Over thinking and over analysing seperates the body from the mind, withering the intuition and leaving oppurtunities behind.

I love lateralus, it has to be my all time favorite album. No other band out there right now compares to Tool, the lyrics the music is infallibly orchestrated to be harmonious with one another and trip you the hell out, its a mind blowing experience.
You should listen to their other 4 albums if you haven't, its crazy

Fixed.

Fixed.

Dude, maybe the lyrics of Radiohead apply to you more meaningfully, but you can't deny the immense amount of consideration and creativity that went into Tool's instrumental section.

And nobody could possibly impose the messages behind Lateralus on someone else, one has to discover and accept them on their own, like any good music.

In wondering what Lateralus is about and trying to decipher the hidden meanings of the songs on the album, I have discovered that they are basically telling me to stop spending so much time wondering what Lateralus is about and to stop deciphering and to go outside and enjoy the sunshine.

This is the heaviest music I have ever listened to that told me to go have a happy day.

I love Tool, they have the best sound and the deepest message. I like to listen to a tool album on headphones in the dark, it's like meditation, you can almost reach other states of conciousness just by concentrating on the music.
I can't wait for Tool's next album to come out, I heard it will be out in the spring of '06 but judging from how long Lateralus took to come out, it could take a bit longer.

I love listening to reggae high. Jacob Miller is probably the best after smoking, I will definately check out Lateralus though.
