Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Best Tool Album, one of the best albums all-time
This album is first of all, one of the best tracks of music all-time, crossing genres, generations, and cultures. It was hard for me to decide between Aenima and Lateralus as Tool's best albums, so I put that debate to rest and decided that Lateralus is definitely the most mature-sounding album from Tool - the sounds, meanings, rhythms, and transitions all seem most refined. Above all, the 12+ tracks on this album all work perfectly together, and perhaps some may judge that no single song is Tool's best by varying opinions, but put together, the album of songs is greater than the sum of its parts, and Tool has produced a modern rock symphony. I feel that Aenima is also in that vein, but the combination of sounds and perceived meanings gels better. This is truthfully my favorite album by a music band, and I would recommend it to anyone on the spot. This is a piece of music that once hearing, you know it will stand the test of time. Perhaps Tool is not as well-known in the mainstream of music lovers, but taking the time to hear this album will make you want to hear the rest of their work.

Tool always has quality in every song
This album absolutely sent me into a world of nostalgia. Always and forever going to be a classic rock/metal piece of art! I always dig checking out new and old music so of course a Tool CD was going to be a purchase somewhere down the line.

"classic" hard rock
Worth buying on CD for the unique packagin, which includes a clear sleeve around the jewel case, and a plastic book that is a multilayer cutaway of the human body - very Tool. The music is, of course, classic 90s Tool.
