Title: Extensive, Innovative, Complex, and Challenging
Product review: This is a Tool album that is not to be taken lightly. Lateralus reminds me a lot of NIN's "the fragile" in the sense that on the first listen all I could think to say was, "wow...that's different."Now that I've listened to it more, it is one of my favorite albums that I own. Songs like The Grudge, Schism, Lateralus, and Reflection keep me begging for more. Some words of advice: You have to give this album a chance. Believe me, it will grow on you quickly. This is one album that you can't just download (illegally), take one listen and pass it as (junk). This challenges you into having an attention span.Of course, this is still Tool, and they are still very heavy and in your face. Where Lateralus differs from past albums is the roller coaster ride it takes you on. Songs like "Ticks and Leeches" literally stop on a dime and start back again just as quickly. Give this album a try and learn to have an attention span. I guarantee you will not be sorry.
