Title: Tool for tools
Product review: It shouldn't be a suprise that Tool's latest release "Laterlus" is a lackluster, commercial effort since it followed the equally commercial release of "A Perfect Circle".I never thought that I'd see the day that Maynard would sell out. This release is stale, monotonous, and repetitive. It seems that the members of Tool were more involved with the packaging than with the music. Of course, to the masses, "Laterlus" will be hailed as a masterpiece.Tool does nothing new, nothing innovative, nothing gripping. The cd is frankly one big potpourri of songs ripped off from their own library of music.After having to swallow the muck "LATERLUS" has to offer, listening to the earlier material becomes increasingly more difficult because after the mystique they had created as a band, how can one take them seriously now?
