Query: It could have been good.

I absolutely loved Lateralus and Aenema. What this album is missing that those ones had was DYNAMICS. Atmospheric, brooding sections would build into propelling grooves, and explode into these bombastic, "in your face" sections that would rock you sideways. You really got a sense of development in the songs.That's all here, but it's all been spoiled in the post-production. The entire thing is such a flat, boring sound. I'm listening to the first track, Vicarious, thinking, "Man, this section could rock my face off." The guitar is was too loud, the vocals are too soft. Somebody asks "Where are Danny Carry's balls?" If you listen really hard, his playing is just as great, you can just barely HEAR it! It could have been SO GOOD! I don't know who produced and/or mixed the album, but in an effort to go for a more "mainstream" sound in the production, they've spoiled all the peaks and valleys that make Tool such a good band. Whoever it was, shame on them!
