AMG Review of Lateralus
Rob Theakston
All Music GuideAfter an exhaustive five-year litigation battle between the band and their label management, Tool offer up the latest chapter in their musical self-discovery in Lateralus. Make no mistake, this is a prog rock record, reminiscent of King Crimson and Meddle-era Pink Floyd, with a hint of Rush mutated with Tool's signature sonic assault on the ears. Lateralus demands close listening from the first piece onward, as it becomes quickly apparent that this is not going to be an album one can listen to and accept at face value. Complex rhythm changes, haunting vocals, and an onslaught of changes in dynamics make this an album other so-called metal groups could learn from. While some compositions seem out of place, others fit together seamlessly, such as the 23-minute song cycle serving as the climax and resolution of the album. However, the album's most disturbing moment arrives at the end, with dissonant electronic noises placed randomly with a drum solo over a phone call to a talk show discussing the secrets behind Area 51, once again serving as a symbolic gesture from the band encouraging people not to take things at face value and to think for themselves. Overall, a solid, well-produced album from a band that never fails to deliver with each release.
New Alex Grey!!!

I have never listened to so much Tool in my ENTIRE life. See, I am writing the aforementioned essay on Jungian theory and Tool. For my inspiration, I have been listening to the songs that I feel represent what I am talking about. Over and over again, its been Parabol/Parobola, Forty-six & 2 and Lateralus, one after the other. I've decided that along with the essay and quotes from the songs, ...

Happy Halloween MOGland! Last night was pumpkin carving time, and I was dead set on making another music-themed design this year. After much deliberation, I finally settled on this one. Please keep in mind that I have no knack whatsoever for arts and crafts. And here's the pumpkin army...I had forgotten how much patience it takes to carve a pumpkin - sheesh! At least we only do it once a y...

Tomorrow night is our annual costume gathering in these parts, marking the first year it isn't being held on the DAY of Halloween. I know, I know, it's not the same; but partying in the middle of the week has become increasingly difficult, and I'm really trying to get my drunk on ;-)I will be going as the Queen of Hearts. It is a ridiculous-looking get-up based on the Disney version of Alice ...

Morello/Tool Bonnaroo footage

Track:
Just found some video of Tool and Tom Morello playing "Lateralus" at Bonnaroo. Tom jams it out for about 4 minutes and takes a phone call in the middle. This must be one of Maynard's new gags because when I saw Tool in Baltimore recently he brought out the old school phone. It would appear that Morello is playing Adam Jones's Les Paul. Enjoy.

is it really possible to understand the real depth of tool? it feels like every time you hear a tool song, it can acquire new meanings. lateralus (the album, not the song), for instance... right now, i'm thinking about it in a nietzschean perspective. the quest for individual enlightment and detachment from the common, simple world of mediocrity. but reflection takes lateralus to a level that i...
