Double LP Picture Disc!
Sonically relentless and visually ground breaking only begin to describe the Tool experience. Formed in Los Angeles, CA in 1991, Tool has cemented themselves in today's hard music community with uncompromising attitude and vision. With five releases over the past decade, Tool has created a loyal and even rabid fan base.
"So much of Tool's third full-length studio album, five years in the waiting, due in part to extended legal turbulence, makes so little sense at first. But that is one of Lateralus' most endearing qualities: it rolls out of it's pleasures and coherence slowly, even stubbornly. Most of the so-called new metal has the dramatic heft of thin air. But the L.A.-based Tool (guitarist Adam Jones, vocalist Maynard James Keenan, drummer Danny Carey and bassist Justin Chancellor) are obsessed with weight, the cumulative force of muscle, imagination and immaculately wrought suspense. Tool have everything it takes to beat you senseless; they proved it on 1993's Undertow and their 1996 Grammy-winning beast, Aenima. Here, Tool go to extravagant lengths to drown you in sensation." - Rolling Stone
"Never a band to go for the easy option, Tool stand alone as an example of musicianship triumphing over sheer brute force in this world of the quick-fix nu-metal chorus. It is dense, it is long, it is complicated. It is also a magnificent triumph of artistry over blind anger. "Push the Envelope" Keenan cries on the title track. His band does just that time and time again." - dotmusic
