sorry if this is old news and every tool fan is aware of it, but I just found out about it and was completely blown away. Proof that this album is brilliant!

wow...i looked at that lump of words and it hurt my eyes, then i read all of it and it hurt my brain. nonetheless, i am intruiged, and i might actually try this!My favorite Pearl Jam song: "Corporate Greed Boat Asshole Behind a Counter in the Oval Office"0

Well I think that is pretty cool. I've never heard of this. I would be interested in listening to it that way. But I was confused at the end. Can't I just make a playlist on my pod ordering the songs like dude said?Are you too good to tango with the poor poor boys?0

That was too painful to read. Not the words, but the page setup. White on black just isn't working and gave me a headache.I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.0

i'm pretty sure you can. but i think you need to edit it and lose the gap between the songs to get the full effect, but i'm sure if ya don't you will still get the idea.0 -

Copy and Paste my friend, I printed it out and took it to the shitter.Are you too good to tango with the poor poor boys?0 -
something to add to the idea of the fibonacci sequence...
in the title track, lateralus, the syllables of the lyrics go with the sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8...
black - 1
then -1
white are - 2
all i see -3
in my in-fan-cy -5
red and yell-ow then came to be - 8
reach-ing out to me -5
lets me see -3
there is - 2
so -1
much -1
more that -2
beck-ons me - 3
to look thru to these - 5
in-fin-ate poss-i-bil-it-ies -8
as below..... - 13
etc.
and it appears other places in the song. and I also read that dannys drum beats follow it somehow as well.
yes, i have very boring days at work0 -
Man this was posted like 3 years ago. As cool as it is, half the album still sounds the same and can't touch Aenima.
Also Tool fans are pretty much my least favourite ever, but that is another story alltogetherprintf("shiver in eternal darkness\n");0 -
Did you know that if you take the differential equations that describe the acceleration of Daney Carey's drum sticks on the 6th song of every album and then integrate them from 46 to 2, you find out that John Lennon actually shot JFK at Area 51?1/12/1879, 4/8/1156, 2/6/1977, who gives a shit, ...0

I lost a ton of respect for Tool fans when I expreienced them booing King Crimson. What a bunch of doorknob-humping retards. :(
Same as the fucksticks that booed Sonic Youth when they were opening for Pearl Jam. Knuckle-dragging trogdolytes0 -
They love 'progressive' bands like Tool but boo King Crimson, eh?
Morons.printf("shiver in eternal darkness\n");0 -
Why didn't they just sequence it that way and be done with it then?! This is my one and only gripe with Tool that stops me loving them as much as some other bands, as cool as the music sounds, it's so focussed on technical precison that it sometimes eschews human emotion. Don't know if anyone else gets what I'm saying? It just seems like it sometimes lacks a human heart beat - I heard the same thing said about NIN and Filter before.0

Knuckle-dragging trogdolytesAll the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.0 -
it was too much to read. Tool doesn't do it for me.I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched. I died and you walked by and said no. I'm dead.0

it is a lot to read, for anyone else who thinks that, to makes a long article short, play the album in this sequence:
6,7,5,8,4,9,13,1,12,2,11,3,10 .....and it flows a lot better, or the ending of each track will match the intro of the next nicer.0 -
Another reason why I love Tool!! New album's gonna KICK ASS!!"Darth Vader would say 'Impressive'."

Wow thats some crazy stuff.
Out of curiosity are there any other albums done like this?"She gave her love away, put it in my pocket when it should of been framed"0 -
I was always felt that there was something more with Lateralus but I could never put my finger on it. This is pretty cool.
Oh yeah, anyone know the latest on the new Tool album?"No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead."0
