I already posted but it deserves another mention. This album is absolutely fscking amazing! I'd even be so bold as to say it's their best, despite their other albums & EP all being masterpieces. I can't wait to have it in flac.
But like all of their albums, they have a lot of fillers. I think Lateralus was better, still, but it's great.
I agree with you: Lateralus was the pinnacle. It was Extremely detailed and artistic. As an overall album, it was as if it was divisions of songs within one overall song. It covered a lot of very different subjects that you dont usually here in mainstream music. It is just such a unique and beautiful album - Perfect balance of full music structure with abstract noise tracks fx.
Songs that seemed to be amazingly constructed: The Grudge, The Patient, Schism, Parabol, Parabola, Ticks & Leeches, Lateralus, Disposition, and Reflection. These songs have such variety among their parts, so multi-faceted, and very fun to explore for new things as you listen. It's an album that you know took years of effort and hard work, and it deserves to be listened to carefully and studied over time.
