Best Tool album

[WorthlessLiar]

Aenima definitely. I used to think it barely edged out Lateralus but now I think it totally kicks Lateralus's ass. I do think dispossition and reflection are on par with Tool's best though.

I don't think its unreasonable to say that Aenima is one of the best albums ever. Its cerebral, intense, emotional and not without a sense of dry wit (totally lacking in Lateralus). What else would you listen to music for?

Suddenly it seems there's a backlash against Tool and I'm not quite sure why. They used to be the band that people from all over the hard rock spectrum could agree on and that noon-hard rock listeners would still listen to. It might be their popularity, Lateralus or their obsessive fans who seem to be getting younger all the time (it is annoying to see a 14 year old in a Tool shirt). I do think that they are the most popular contemporary band that deserves to be taken seriously.
