Title: 2 big *Yawn* stars!
Product review: Wow, what a tiresome 80 minutes that was. Tool have gone for an ambient approach on Lateralus. Stretch out about 3 minutes worth of music into about 9 or 10 minutes of tedium. None of these songs have any hooks nor do they have any mind blowing instrumentation. They are just................long...............and...bland. It's like they are just jamming in slow motion. Hit a tom there, strum a chord here, pluck a couple of bass notes. Maynard asks "Have we reached 10 minutes yet?" ...Adam Jones looks at his watch. Maynard sounds like he recorded the vocals in about 15 minutes in between touring with A Perfect Circle. Ok, maybe i'm being a bit harsh, Tool are still alot better than most mainstream music but this album was so uninspiring. "Parabola" is the only song that redeems this boring pretentious affair.
