Lateralus

May 10th, 2008


Lateralus
The epic scope of Tool’s excellent third album, Lateralus, could well spell a whole new era for metal. To many casual rock fans, frontman Maynard James Keenan is probably better known as the vocalist in the more MTV-friendly A Perfect Circle but it’s indisputably Keenan’s main group–art-metal pioneers Tool–that have reshaped the rock landscape most radically. Operating somewhere beyond the parameters of their closest peers Metallica and Jane’s Addiction, Tool is the sound of metal at its most sprawling, complex, ambitious and progressive. But while the group’s third album–the long-awaited Lateralus–deals with subjects as obtuse at the return of Saturn’s orbit and Keenan’s fascination with the occult works of Aleister Crowley, this is not simply the sound of pompous prog-rock given a Millennial makeover. Why? Mainly because Tool never let the concept swallow the sheer, gigantic scope of this music–from the brooding, dark instrumental passages and explosive rhythmic tension of the eight-minute opener “The Grudge” to the precise, angular mathematic construction of “Schism”. It’s true, Lateralus might be a bit much for the pogo-friendly Blink 182 fan in your life but if there’s any justice in the world, this fantastic work will do for metal what Radiohead’s OK Computer did for indie-rock. The boundaries have fallen and Tool have new horizons in sight. –Louis Pattison

Customer Review: Another amazing Tool release
When I bought Lateralus i had incredibly high expectations for I owned all the other Tool albums and loved every single one of them. Unlike 10,000 days, Undertow and Aenima Lateralus didn’t grab me instantly and i had to listen to it once or twice before i really got into it. Lateralus is a very progressive and complex album so you can expect plenty of time signiature changes and lengthy songs. My favourite songs off the album are the epic Lateralus itself, the combine Parabol-Parabola song(s) and then probably the Grudge but every song on the album is at least very good if not amazing.

I would definatley recommend this album to anyone who is capable of appreciating it.

9/10

Customer Review: Awesome
This ablum is quite possibly the greatest album ever written, in fact no scratch that it is the best. This album has to be listened to from start to finish as all of the songs blend together into what can only be described as a masterpiece. If you play the drums (like me) or you play the bass it will really stand out to you how individually telented each of the mebers of this band are

Customer Review: Disappointed:
I have to say I was very disappointed with the size of this gardening set, its very small. It worked out a very expensive toy indeed, with it being ?15 + delivery charges, its alot cheaper in our local Garden Centre. I am a novice to this internet shopping and I feel quite deflated that I didn’t get a bargain. Otherwise, I hope when it is given as a gift to the 10 year old she will be exceptionally happy. It is a lovely girlie colour of pink. Delivery of the product was exceptionally fast.
