MJK: Hmmm yeah, figured you might be a fan the very first time I saw a post of yours years ago. I don't know what tipped me off.
Just bought the CD this morning and... OH MY GOD!!! Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Definitely not everyones cup of tea. Very complex sounds and structure, very psychaldelic and experimental, but still rocks out at many parts. Moving in that it can put chills down your spine and tears to your eyes. Great poetry, definitely darker overall mood than Lateralus.
This is a CD that could stand the test of time and be important in the ways that The Wall and Zoso (four) have. An obvious must have for Tool fans (too early to say, but I tjink it's their best yet) but a good CD for anyone looking to expand their minds and tastes. A warning to the uninitiated, it's is complex and experimental, it make take a few listens to get used to.
9.99 at Future Shop this morning. And the CD case and art are worth that without even the disk. It comes with more psychadelic artwork and built in lens to make the pics 3D.
