Lateralus

Description

Deemed by Spin Magazine, Alternative Press, and millions
of fans as one of the “most anticipated albums of 2001.” Everything
about Tool’s fourth album is an experience, starting with the packaging, which
consists of liner credits printed on a translucent plastic sleeve over the CD
and a booklet that layers anatomical representations atop one another–the
first page pictures musculature and blood vessels; the next, bones; the third,
internal organs; and so on. It’s worth describing the packaging of Lateralus
because it says much about the astonishing music within. Maynard James Keenan
and company understand the expectations riding on this much-anticipated
release and they’ve delivered the goods! While it remains in the Tool
tradition of trance-inducing progressive metal, Lateralus is tighter, clearer,
crisper, and all around a notch above their admirable previous releases.
Aenima was marred by muddy production and a certain predictability. Undertow
had a cleaner sound but wasn’t as confident or adventurous. With Lateralus,
Tool have raised an already lofty bar still higher by coming up with a
collection that kicks major ass. –Genevieve Williams
