Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
There is simply no way you could just dismiss the music (which is excellent). The bass playing is just really creepy and slow and sometimes it has this watery effect.
-
Rolling Stone
Lateralus is a monster of many parts, made to be swallowed whole.
-
Drowned In Sound
Always expect the unexpected but never expect to be disappointed. This is Tool taking everything they have ever stamped there name on and crushing it into oblivion.
-
AV Club
With Lateralus, Tool built a monument to metal’s evolution.
-
Metal Sucks
Start to finish, with a beginning a middle and an end. Wherever it is that Jones, Chancellor, Carey and Keenan were when they penned this dark, chaotic, crazy piece of music, it takes you there.
-
NME
Misery and self-obsessed navel-gazing.
-
Slant
The band shines again on Lateralus with songs whose instrumentation defies every strum of the four-chord structure that has reigned in rock since Chuck Berry picked up a guitar.
-
Cryptic Rock
Without question a corner stone of Tool’s career, Lateralus has stood the test of time over the last fifteen years.
-
Loudwire
Tool have risen to legendary prominence by simply sticking to their convictions and offering unparalleled depth to their fans.
-
Louder Sound
Put simply, Lateralus is one of the greatest records of any genre ever created in the long history of popular music.
-
SPIN
Spine-crushing dynamics, and the best rock howl of the year.
