Tool has more synergy !!

Review Score: (8/10)
Not a bad album!!! But it does not reach the same level as Tool 's masterpiece Lateralus. The reason is : it is not only Maynard who is talented in Tool, it is the combination of the whole Tool band with talented musicians. Together these artists of Tool reach a level of synergy that reaches almost perfection.
A perfect circle comes close to that, but does not equal it!!!
