Lateralus is so very trippy.

Aenima was better!1

I actually agree with this Aenima is one of the greatest records I have ever heard.

keinmehrkreig Reviewed by keinmehrkreig on 12-30-2005. Lateralus is so very trippy. 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 Rating: 5

Aenima for the music, Lateralus for the lyrics/message.

[Pyramidsonmars]

Aenima for the message too. Kurt Cobain (that's what Eulogy's about), positive messages out of gloom, child memories...I don't know, but I find Aenima more personal for Maynard...and dudes, "Third Eye"

Dude... its a story... a progression... lateralus is as much of a progression from Aenima as Aenima is from Undertow. They're all great, but they're all just a story.

thats well put and disputable, i really don't have a favorite tool album, i find it quite hard to like one more than the other, they're all wonderful creations.. man i can't wait till spring this year when their new album comes out and hopefully they'll also be touring this year. I recommend anyone who has listened to lateralus and was impacted by it to read this very articulate theory on the meaning of the album, heres the link:http://www.toolpantheon.com/lateralus_meanings.htm but i agree with what moeburn said that everyone has to discover their own meaning to the album, and slowly accept them without any bias. I'm afraid we may never really know the true meaning behind their albums, until maybe someday maynard probably surfs through a website claiming a relationship between the bible and lateralus.. which i actually bumped into the other day

hi, kabir. i thought it only fair to inform you first, before you hear it second or third hand. some recent events have led me to the rediscovery of jesus. tool will need to take the back seat. this may come as a shock. i just thought you should know considering all the support you given us over the years.
all my faith. maynard.

Haahaha, i remember reading that in a tool fan site, it knocked me outa my wickers! then it was only an april fool's joke...fuckers

Eulogy is about casting down Jesus Christ as an imposter and false prophet.

And yes.. Third Eye.. is amazing.

Tool is probably my favorite band.

Does anyone actually know when the next album is coming out? I've heard that it's going to be released soon.. but goodness.. I'm tired of waiting. If the new album is going to be as good as Lateralus, I can't wait.

I was just kidding about Aenima being better!1 I like all the Tool albums...

[moeburn]

I actually hate tool with a mighty passion, I think the band consists of assholes, maynard is an egocentric prick who hates his dad and takes it out on the world.

But I like their music, and I like their lyrics, and I like to listen and feel the beat.
