[ Zomba Records / CD ]
Release Date: Thursday 10 May 2001
Heavy, uncompromising and totally excellent, "Lateralus" utilises surrealistic dynamics and eastern motifs. The listener is enticed to tune in and become one with the almost trance-inducing metallic riffs & grooves.
"The "progressive metal" band Tool have been around for a number of years now and their music has always had a deeply arresting quality to it - amassing a loyal following from day one. All of their releases have been a benchmark in how to craft dark and uncompromising primordial music.
Originally debuting at #1 in the American charts, "Lateralus" continues in this vein, utilising surrealistic dynamics and eastern motifs. Once again the listener is enticed to tune in and become one with the almost trance-inducing metallic riffs & grooves.
The musicianship on this slab of rock genius is staggering and the lyrics, formidable and thought provoking to say the least. Don't be afraid to taste this very real and rigorous symphony of exemplar songs!"
