Title: Decided I only hate it a little: a retraction.
Product review: I suppose you can call this an addendum to my earlier review...Lateralis does grown on you to a point. It's apparantly one of those records that you really have to listen to again and again in order to appreciate. This doesn't excuse it from the monotonous and useless transitional tracks, or the fact that none of these songs are good enough to have been on either of the first three albums, but songs like Schism, The Grudge, Parabola and Lateralis make this album worth borrowing (still not worth buying yourself). Still a fan, but this album was definitely not worth waiting 5 years for. At least the pitiful and shamefully commercial Salival had all the videos on DVD as reason to purchase it. This record has no such redemption.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
