I've been a Tool fan since long before I even knew of the existance of prog. Aenima remains in my all-time top 5 albums even today, and Lateralus is an incredible prog album. Apparently they've got a new album coming out in 2005.

I'd say tool are quite prog in my book. I own laturalus and aenima and they are both excellent albums.

First time I played it, I was almost moved to tears. Great to know there's somebody out there DOIN' IT with an album that sits comfortably alongside the prog greats from the past. J's right about the headphones too. This stuff is deeeeeeep.

Lateralus can only be properly explained to someone who has properly heard it. This is a late-at-night-on-my-headphones album. There is so much complexity and emotion in this album. This is a band that has chosen to properly structure their anger and pain

Frenchie, i couldnt have said all that better myself, I'm a big Tool fan and Laturalus is the most played album i have. Its dark, brooding and brilliantly complex. Parabol and Parabola are just suberb, the guitar riff is amazing. I quite

I've only just got it and have played it twice so far.Really impressed but I couldn't make any meaningfull comments about the music other than it comes across as a well thought out work and the fluidity and brilliance of the playing makes it
