got a ring from sanity (ozzi music store) the other day and reminded me that lateralis was in. i ordered it last year and forgot to pick it up . id have to say lateralis is the best tool album.
I do like Lateralus on its own merits. It's a good album in its own right, but it just doesn't have the punch that Aenima does. That still gets my nod as the best Tool album.
Tool is one of my favorite to bands. Maynard is awesome. He always does callaberations with the lead singer from Deftones. (My other favorite band) I love Stinkfist by Tool and the song after it on the album.
