FANTASTIC, Start to Finish Finely Crafted & Cerebral
When I first listened to this CD, I was working, actually installing insulation in a big addition, to some rich guy's house in southern Maine. Now in case it doesn't occur to you, this job sucks, and good tunes help to reduce the suck factor.
This one didn't disappoint, and I remember just what I thought approaching the end of the last track, which was something like "I'm so glad TOOL came along and changed the direction of the genre."
I don't think it's an accident, the similarity but this band seems to have a little more rigid structure and direction, while the lyrics are more straight-forward but no less cerebral.
I'm a tough critic, but since the first time I heard this CD it's been a "must have" with me.
I've even lost my first CD of this, and I immediately bought another one.
With ME, that's about a 1 in 50 chance I'll like a CD I buy, "that much"
