This album is many things. Progressive, heavy, aggressive, calm, cerebral. However you want to put it. Tool creates a masterpiece of music with this album. All the members of the band give amazing performances. Justin Chancellor lays down amazing, fluid bass lines backed by Danny Carey's phenomenal drumming. Adam Jones provides intense riffs and Maynard James Keenan gives some of the best vocal performances of his career. All of the songs on this album flow perfectly, and there is not a bad track to be found. There are several very aggressive songs like Parabola and Ticks and Leeches which delve more into progressive metal, while others such as The Grudge, Schism, and Lateralus, change from progressive rock to metal frequently. If you want and in-depth track-by-track analysis, I'd just recommend listening to the album. You will not be disappointed. Recommended songs: The Grudge, The Patient, Schism, Parabola, Ticks and Leeches, Lateralus.
