Excellent album! I have heard TOOL on the radio over the years and decided to go ahead and get a CD. It was better than I expected!

Tool fans rate this as their best record. It is not. Not much here for those who like musical music. Lots of screaming and just super weird noises. They have a great sound but it never changes. They have a great rocking attitude and try to be smart but its not really musically interesting aside from the crazy time changes I think Undertow is a lot better.

Tool is still one of the few bands that still plays original, unique, and different music. They have never sold out and I can't see them doing so for quite some time if ever. This CD in particular is amazing. It isn't just a CD, it's more of an experience as you listen through it. The blend of tribal drums, thundering bass, quiet lyrics, and heavy guitar fits so well. If you like progressive metal music, then Tool is your band. As you listen through this CD you will find the whole CD to be just simply amazing. Every song works well and runs into the next wonderfully. If you're a Tool fan you will love this CD, but if you're not this CD might just change your mind.
I am not a fan of progressive rock, but Tool is something special and unusual. Incredible atmosphere and sound, combining shamanism and modern. The album is also decorated in an unusual way, an extraordinary approach of the designers and the musicians themselves is felt. Thank you very much for delivering the order on time!

What a stunning piece of music! Seriously, what other group can sound so brutal and beautiful simultaneously, and convey such emotion. They are masters at building up a song to an epic climax! In my mind the are equally adept at marketing themselves as well.

Amazing cd. this disc contains some of the most intelligent material ever recorded. from start to finish is one insane ride of pure metal on acid!!!! Lateralus is by far the best production put out by TOOL and will quite possibly stay that way. I had this disc when it came out but lost it since. I had the itch one day to hear it and youtube wasnt cutting it!!! i had to own it again!!! again... great piece and will be one of my faves for years to come!!! what i can appreciate about this material the most is that i am a musician myself (16 years) and still to this day cannot reproduce my own material in this particular sub-genre of metal!! there is something about this that is so unique that i dont believe can be copied by anyone!!!!
Arguably Tool's best record full of memorable hooks, melodies, and riffs. Lateralus includes Tool's best known song: Schism, which contains one of the most iconic bass lines ever.

I had the Lateralus album already from WAl*MART. It had the slipcase and the cutaway booklet disecting a man's head and shoulders. I enjoy the music but I wanted to see what the PA version was so I bought that copy on E-bay. But the man sent me the same thing that I already have. It was the wrong picture that was on E-bay. A tip I would give you is that all the Lateralus CDs are the same. I also have the limited Lateralus LP. That is a much better put together set. It has the disection pictures on four discs.
No other band plays music in such unique rhythms. Featuring one of the best drummers in the world. And a singer like no other in Maynard Kennan. Bassest and guitar weaving together into a frenzy of rhythm. And Featuring art like no other.

This is Tool at the pinnacle of their career. There was not much room for growth after Lateralus. I believe this is the reason why Tool doesn’t push albums out quickly. If you notice...each album displays more talent and challenging music than the album prior. To me this album displays the band at the top of their game.
