Title: Excellent album
Product review: This was the first Tool album I actually bought, as I'd used... to get MP3's before it. I had only songs from the previous albums, so the first time I played this CD, it was totally new.And man, did it blow me away.From the first mechanical griding sound right before the Grudge's guitar kicked in, through the slow revolutions of Schism, into the powerful Parabola, to the incredible title track and the final track, this album is truly incredible.Lateralus is, without a doubt, progressive rock through and through, harking back to the old band King Crimson many a time. It's a shame only Schism is being noticed the way it is, as I, and many others, find Lateralis and Parabol/a to be underrated perfection. This album is a great change from the angrier, grittier AEnima and Undertow, and it seems far more polished and, as the Amazon reviewer said, crisper and clearer. This album is worth the money, easily, and probably even more so.True gold.
