I’m gonna have to look into it. Tool was among my very first metal bands, and I still love the old stuff, even if their newer stuff is kinda weak.

I heard this album a couple of times, mostly because it’s on the Inside Out roster and Steve Wilson of Porcupine Tree made some rave comments about it. I quite like it but not enough to keep it in constant rotation. I don’t have any problems with lack of heaviness, it’s a prog rock album after all, but what it’s really short of is some really interestinf ideas that would let it stand out among other bands ploughing this field of prog. For that matter, I would strongly recommend an Israeli band called Ephrat. They do it way better imo.
