Seriously guys, we didn't need to add every Tool album. But that's what Tool fans do, isn't it? I bet the guy who added this checked to see which one was missing (if he didn't already know instinctively) and it was all he ever planned on submitting. It's funny - back in 2002 or so, we used to pick on Dream Theater for being *that* band, but Tool has really overtaken them these days. I guess that's the advantage of scarcity - DT has thrown so much shit at the wall at this point that even their superfans admit there's a bit of stink in there. Tool fans, not so much. Tool is a pretty good band, all things considered - they'll never top the first song on their first album, but everything they put out is decent at a minimum. But they're also, with exception of that first album, never really truly GREAT. This album is good enough - it plods along for its 75min (Tool albums go for 75min) competently, it stays safely in its lane, it has a little bit of that 90s alternative vibe in its sound that's been missing since the 90s. It gets a little too jammy for me in places (the title track being a good example) and you have to be stoned to truly appreciate the hypnotic aspects of it all, but it's all well done. It feels solid. The production is thick. The instruments are all perfectly mixed. You know that tangible bump in quality when you get out of a Mazda and into an Audi? That's how listening to Tool feels after the myriad of b-tier metal bands I otherwise listen to all day. The problem is, with the exception of Vicarious (and maybe The Pot), I'll never remember anything from this album. It's "Tool album good". You know how Amorphis puts out the same album every year, and it's a damn good album, but it doesn't excite you and it's hard to pick out individual songs anymore? Same kinda deal, just with less frequency. Wait, what? You've never heard Amorphis? omg. It's getting a 4/5 and fuck you.
