MagicWindowMay 3, 2006Terrible. Stagnant riffs, awfully ham-fisted lyrics and the production seems to have taken a step back to the Undertow era. This is not a career highlight. The packaging is digusting, too.

JeffQMay 5, 2006Horrible album of recycled riffs, cliche lyrics, and formulated songs. What happened to Tool?

DrunkenMasterMay 3, 2006Tool fans, the band is laughing at you. If you think this CD is worthwhile you are an idiotic sheep. Go back, listen to their previous albums and then put the new one in....it's trash.

MEMay 3, 2006Okay, I don't normally do this (Put a review here without hearing the album) but I've got to. Listen, I hate Tool, and their fans (Pretentious internet nerds, thanks guy). But something I hate more is the fan that raves, thinks that tool is a fucking blessing from God and doesnt capitolize his "I's" or spell gotten "Gotton". Cool guys.

graemerJun 23, 2006Despite Christian W's claims to the contrary, the only people this album would even potentially interest are braindead 16 year old stoners. You know, all of Tool's fanbase. Utter tripe, and therefore I would recommend that you check out Franz Ferdinand.

jlcMay 15, 2006disappointing and boring... And we waited 5 yearsfor this...oh well.

BillTMay 2, 2006More mastubatory tripe from every internet nerd's favorite band. Nothing particularly interesting except for the new level of pretentious attained by Maynard James Keenan. Don't let anyone fool you into thinking this rehash is "deep".

MarcoMMay 27, 2006Is anybody compared songs "H" and "Third Eye" from Aenima with a "Rosetta Stoned"? There are parts from these songs.

JeffRMay 15, 2006Okay, first off let me start by saying.... Oh my god, this is simple the worst recorded noise that has ever hit the ears of humans. Please someone tell these waste of life noise makers to stop recording those noises. This is not music, this is pathetic garbage. I've made better noise out of my butt. Worst album of all-time, this is an undisputed fact!!!!!!!!!!!

OsamaBinLadinOct 4, 2006You can rate that is if it where just any other bands first CD, or you can rate this from the vantage point of knowing their previous work. From the perspective of the later (alus?) this is a weak record. It has a couple standouts, but are those really standouts, or are they lateralus knee jerks? There truly is nothing new to be found. It seems that Maynard really isn

SteveDouglasJan 12, 2007What do you get when you combine and upvoter, a mindless automaton, and a fanboy. You get a tool fan. Their fans may be tasteless mindless followers, but the ratings will never follow the fans.

TedJOct 21, 2006Tool is music for people who like very bad sounding music, with the following of a religious cult. That doesn't make any of the music good.

DavidAOct 21, 2006Deep lyrics should be backed up by great music, something tool still hasn't learned to do.

RichardGOct 21, 2006I find it laughable that people clamour to tool, like a flock of mindless sheep.

RobRNov 22, 2006The lyrics are cringingly trite and hollow, the music is pedestrian, the only thing this joke of a band have going for them is the good production and the distinctive, well-refined sound of the instruments themselves.

JamesROct 21, 2006When people stop mindlessly giving zero's instead of things like 4's and 5's etc. I'll stop giving zeros.

DougASep 17, 2006I'm sure the tons of senseless Tool fans will mindlessly upvote this. Although it's to be expected since Tool is the definition of mindless.

DougCNov 25, 2006All the pomp and pretention of Pink Floyd's classic Atom Heart Mother - minus the strings, horns, chorus, and interesting musical ideas. High concept with the emphasis on the HIGH. The CD package (featuring Alex Grey's hypercool psychedelic artwork) with 3D viewer and all, is way more fun than the sonic silliness it contains.

It's not only a step forward for the band, but a re-embracing of the epic-length rock songs found at the roots of early heavy metal.

When Tool sounds as good as it does on ["Jambi" and "The Pot"] it's hard to get enough. Which makes it all the more baffling that a surprisingly large chunk of the disc is given over to mood-enhancing soundscapes like "Lost Keys" and "Vigniti Tres."

Sounds exactly like you would expect a Tool album to sound.
