 Lateralus - definition of Lateralus in Encyclopedia
In 2001 (see 2001 in music), Tool released their third studio album, Lateralus.
The album reached the #1 spot on Billboard Music Chart's top Internet Albums chart, top Canadian Albums chart and the Billboard 200 chart (US).
Stylistically, Lateralus is a defiantly progressive album, having emerged from a five year legal tussle with Tool's former label.

 Lateralus by Tool Songfacts
The song Lateralus is the culmination of these two albums.
Lateralus, perhaps because it is the album's "title track", serves as the central clue for a puzzle that a friend of mine had read about somewhere on the internet.
For the song to be in the 'middle' of the album it would have to be the seventh track in sequence, here having six tracks on either side of it.

 Tool: Lateralus (2001): Reviews
Lateralus takes the L.A. band over the edge with elongated musical movements that simmer under heavy-duty distortion, Middle Eastern percussion and freakish guitar-and-drum time signatures that will make musical mathematicians (i.e., prog-rock dorks) as excited as the kids in the mosh pit.
Lateralus could have been released four years ago, for all the sonic progression that's contained (or not contained) within its 79 minutes.
"Lateralus" is primarily a collection of puzzling time changes, haunting vocals and beyond-intricate percussive patterns that create a theme rooted more in Eastern philosophy than in rock and roll.

 Lateralus
Lateralus is more instrumental (more unadulterated guitar, less synth.) than their last release, Aenima, and it is slightly reminiscent of their 1993 album Undertow.
Just looking at the album artwork, which features a psychedelic translucent dissection of a man by artist Alex Grey, should be enough warning to the unsuspecting listener of the genius and creativity of the band which he is about to indulge.
Don't worry though, Lateralus still has the heavier songs which you hardcore metalheads crave (Schism, Ticks and Leeches, Parabol) and which made Tool famous with their debut release Opiate.

 HYBRIDMAGAZINE.COM REVIEWS Tool - Lateralus
Since most of the compositions on Lateralus are in the eight- to nine-minute range, there is plenty of time and space for the band to explore vast musical and emotional territory.
Lateralus confirms Tool's position as heirs to the heavy music throne previously occupied by the iconoclastic likes of pre-"black album" Metallica and Badmotorfinger-era Soundgarden.
Lateralus is unmistakably and gloriously a product of the unique and original collaboration among the four talented musicians who constitute Tool, the inimitable saviors of heavy metal.

 Tool Lateralus CD review on AudioRevolution.com
Lateralus sounds as good as any Tool album, with the drums being the standout instruments on this recording.
Although there are 13 tracks on the album, Lateralus is really nine songs with a few short tracks of random sounds and musical interludes intercut between some of the fuller offerings.
With Lateralus, it seems as if Maynard was inspired by his other band and decided to work a little more melody into this new Tool release.

 Tool : Lateralus - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Lateralus demands close listening from the first piece onward, as it becomes quickly apparent that this is not going to be an album one can listen to and accept at face value.
After an exhaustive five-year litigation battle between the band and their label management, Tool offer up the latest chapter in their musical self-discovery in Lateralus.
Make no mistake, this is a prog rock record, reminiscent back to the times of King Crimson and Meddle-era Pink Floyd, with a hint of Rush mutated with Tool's signature sonic assault on the ears.

The lyrics tell a story on an album, you may not see it but listen to lateralus and each song tells a story.
Lateralus is by far in my opionion the best Tool album so far.
This my favourite album, and it's best songs are The Grudge, Parabola and Lateralus, but all the songs are great, except the ambient track mantra, which only makes sense after taking LSD.

 Tool - Lateralus review   -= the alternative hole v5 =-  
Lateralus, the new album by rock band Tool, was released 15 May 2001 upon an obsessively appreciative and maniacally anticipative audience.
Lateralus is for anyone who can appreciate truly excellent music.
As an album, Lateralus succeeds because it blends the visceral power of the early Tool with the densely layered tightness of 1996's Aenima.

 The Lateralus Code
It blatantly interrupts Parabol(a) and Lateralus, two of the most positive songs on the album.
After being spoiled by Lateralus becoming one long song, I was never happy with the first 3 tracks of Aenima, but restricted by wanting to stick to the Fibonacci sequence.
In concert he'd start the song with the second line, and later on the Lateralus tours it sounds like he starts with "my shadow moves closer and farther away from me".

However, for those willing to sit through this 80 minute sonic assult, Lateralus is one the most amazing records to ever be released.
However, if you were willing to look past the popular songs and focus on this one as a whole and give it time, you will find Lateralus to be an album shimmering with pure genius.

Lateralus opens with "The Grudge," a hard rock masterpiece where the band once again shows their versatility in playing with a wide variety of time signatures and loud/soft dynamics.
Every song on here is its own little masterpiece, and the thematic combination of each track with the whole of the album makes a brilliant work that no serious music listener should go without hearing, uninterrupted, at least once.
Finally, Lateralus draws to a close with three quieter tracks that flow more naturally together than any other three on the album.

Aneima has better song writing than Lateralus but it's still a fantastic album that i've listened to hundereds of times, but I still believe Aneima is better.
Lateralus is lenghty and epic, more melody-oriented, developing the lyrical theme glimpsed in "Third Eye".
I'd say that in general maturity is the album's motif; song structures are more intricate, the guitar work is more daring, and the vocals are near perfection.

 Tool - Lateralus Review - sputnikmusic
And 'Lateralus' is probably the album that shows the typical style of the band best.

 Rolling Stone : Tool: Lateralus : Music Reviews
The prolonged running times of most of Lateralus' thirteen tracks are misleading; the entire album rolls and stomps with suitelike purpose.
In "The Grudge" (8:34), "Schism" (6:43) and "Lateralus" (9:22), the episodic swerves are compressed under single titles.
But that is one of Lateralus' most endearing qualities: It rolls out its pleasures and coherence slowly, even stubbornly.

 Tool: Lateralus - PopMatters Music Review
And as befits their status, they had the customary label struggles (what band doesn't?) before releasing the huge Lateralus, their first album since 1996.
Like all ultimate rock bands, Tool make their fans feel like they're part of some select group (although since Lateralus debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts, that's obviously not true).
At nearly 80 minutes long, Lateralus asks a lot of its listeners.

 Restructuring Lateralus: Tool's Holy Gift 
Basically, the idea is this: Lateralus has 13 tracks (a Fibonacci number, BTW) so you place that track at the center of your new track order.
Anyway, all this got one unknown fan to write up a big long post somewhere and to speculate that the actual order of the songs on Lateralus needed to be rearranged so as to reveal the "true" message of the album.
I have to say that I immediately liked the album more than before, and it's certainly entertaining to think about the alternate meaning as you listen.

 Hear/Say: America's College Music Magazine - Reviews - Albums - Tool: Lateralus
Four years of hiatus have left Tool fans rabid for the band's next release, and the wait has been well rewarded with Lateralus, a 13-track album that takes most of today's heavy rock efforts to the attic for permanent storage.
Tool's music is some of the most influential of the last decade -- and Lateralus is arguably the band's greatest contribution yet.
Though the album is dense - which could turn off fans dying for the next "Sober" -- there are no weak tracks on Lateralus.

Since the EP/DVD "Salival" is out of print, I think it would be a great idea to have a Lateralus concert, plus all 6 of their music videos on 1 dvd, and then just release the Salival ep by itself at a reduced price.
And...there will most likely be one of the secret performances of Faaip de Oiud (sp?) on the DVD...just to see the live treatment of that song will be interesting.
Rumors abound that Tool's long-in-the-works "Lateralus" tour live DVD has been christened "Teleincision" and has been scheduled for an August 16th release date via Zoo/Volcano.

Lateralus is only their third album of new material since 1993, and it reflects only the most modest shift in their big, lumbering thud & roll.
As much as Keenan wants to break out of his mold, at least to some degree, the band keeps pulling him back in.
By now, they have their own formula down cold: Start each song with a creepy rumble, whip it into a frenetic rage, slow it down for a gentler interlude, then rev it back up for the finale.
