The great thing about Tool is that with each album they just keep getting better and better. Lateralus was easily my favorite album prior to this one, and I think I had it in my CD player for 6 months straight.
On first listen, I wasn't convinced that this album was as good as Lateralus... but having heard the album at least 50+ times now (I "came upon" the album before it was released :P - but bought it on the 2nd), I think it is easily as good and possibly better.
It's funny... at first there were some songs I didn't like, such as "Roseta Stoned" that are quickly growing to be my favorites on the album. I also like how so many different songs tie together... like Vicarious/Jambi, Wings for Marie/10K days, Lost Keys/Roseta Stoned, Intension/Right in Two.
Wings for marie/10K days gets my vote for the best on the album.
