I am going to agree that it is certainly not as good as Lateralus, Aenima, or Undertow. But I do disagree with you that it sucks. I was very disappointed at first as well, and I know they are capable of MUCH better. But I did listen to it more, and I have developed some level of appreciation for it. Vicarious does not sound anything like schism except for the intro. Jambi is one of my favorite Tool songs now. Intension is really mellow and like Disposition. Right in Two is probably the best song on the album with Jambi right behind it.

I am not a Tool fanboy, but even if this is their worst album ever. It's still Tool, which means that its STILL a hell of alot better than alot of other crap out there.
aeonblue11 Reviewed by aeonblue11 on . The new Tool album is a joke. Please, the band doesn't want you to support this album... download it and hear it for yourself. Listen to the grand scheme... It's literally a joke, isn't it? I mean, it sounds like it... it's abysmal. Especially for a Tool album, it's REALLY bad. And Vicarious sounds like Schism reversed... gay. If you buy this album, you're not Tool fan... you're a Tool fan boy, and the band doesn't like you. The best part of the album is the mantra chanted during Intension and that's the only part Rating: 5
