Our Take

The long-awaited album from prog-metal giants TOOL, Lateralus, is a complex and enigmatic journey through time signatures and mind-bending lyrics. The band's trademark blend of heavy riffs, haunting melodies, and intricate rhythms is on full display here, with songs like "Schism" and "The Grudge" showcasing their unparalleled musicianship.

Frontman Maynard James Keenan's haunting vocals further elevate the album, adding an element of darkness and depth to the band's already intricate sound. The 13-minute epic title track, "Lateralus," is a true highlight, with its ever-evolving structure and mesmerising instrumentation drawing the listener in and refusing to let go.

The album's production is top-notch, with each instrument given ample room to breathe and shine. The album's artwork, a collaboration between vocalist Maynard James Keenan and artist Alex Grey, is a visual feast that complements the music perfectly.

While Lateralus may not be for the faint of heart, those willing to delve into its depths will be rewarded with a truly immersive and rewarding listening experience. TOOL have once again proven why they are considered one of the most innovative and essential bands in modern rock music. 1
