Re: The best thing to happen to Metal
This may be the longest lag between posts for a thread... but I like setting records :)
Tool's Lateralus blows away any other artist's album I've ever heard. The composition, production, lyrics and the whole atmosphere of the album (epic trippy progressive metal with a message) is utterly outstanding and in a league of its own.
**The overall message: **Do not take things at face value. This life is indeed a link in a chain of events that have happened and those that are to come: We are and will forever be in for the ride and will keep spiraling outwards. Death is only a transformation to a higher level of existance and we must make the most of life and chrish every moment because it is a sacred gift!
Very well done! They get my 11 out of 10 on this one!
