i have avoided reviewing this album for a long, long time, and here is why:

its difficult to give a truly accurate, objective review of an album or band you love so dearly, as somewhere along the way you will end up in a void of unrealistic adjective use . . .

but honestly, without the risk of using hyperbole, this is the best cd in the world . . . simple . . .

"the grudge" is a rumbling, sophisticated yet self-assured opener for one serious release . . . "the patient" is prog bliss, along with "parabol/a" . . . but these songs are virtual nursery rhymes compared to the title track . . .

"lateralus" is quite possibly the most beautiful piece of aural art in existence - a mind-sobbingly gorgeous venture through human potential . . .

i wont go on, asi feel im slipping into the afore-mentioned rut - however, i will say this: . . .

buy this album if you consider yourself a music fan of any description . . . passionate, beautiful and most importantly, REAL music is what TOOL are all about . . .
