FredericPMay 3, 2006I hate pitchfork media to. But this is the worst record of tool. And i guess the worst record cover of all time, No joke. by the way, who really cares about a perfect circle. Tool is the shit. Nothing compare. Maybe from the "outside",pitchfork are doin great in that sens.

VigintiQMay 9, 2006Disappointing album on the whole. Other than The Pot, Jambi and Vicarious, nothing really moves me.

sosmosisSep 18, 2006Took 5 years to make what sounds like leftovers from Lateralis. They've finally slipped. Well they're old now.

CHRISBMay 10, 2006the best TOOL song on the cd is vicarious,the rest of the album is slow,lumbering,meaningless self indulgent crap,and this is coming from a TOOL fan who first saw this band in a hole in the wall bar in TIJUANA. Man how i miss the times that this band truly rocked.

ChristopherMay 2, 2006Lateralus was an excellent album. One of the best of the past 10 years. Unfortunately, this is nowhere close to it. There are a few good songs, but nothing that comes even close to their last two records. Huge disappointment.

ZapBMay 4, 2006This album gets a 5. That's an average.. I give the songs written by TOOL a 10. I give the songs written by Yoko Ono a 0.. (number 9, number 9, number 9)

BenTMay 5, 2006Tool's standard melodies come together disjointedly to create the first weak album in their catalog (compared to other tool records). Most of the record sounds like perfect circle out-takes.

AnthonyGJul 26, 2006This is only half an album. I only consider 4 of the tracks to be truly good. The rest is filler. The album is not particularly innovative, either. No new sounds here. Disappointing.

Jun 15, 2012First two songs are good, there are a couple i can bearly hear, and the rest are ordinary. they all have great bits in them, but on a whole, ordinary. this from a bloke who loved lateralus and reckons anema(Spelling?) is the best album ever.

TakezoMay 9, 2006Maybe the worst album from Tool yet. Great bands always end up putting out a bad album, I just didnt think it would be this bad. Big step back for tool. Big step foward on 6/6.

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.
