Reasons to Like Tool's Lateralus Album

The Top Ten

1 The Fibonacci Sequence and the overall epicness of the title track

2 The drumming on "Ticks and Leeches"

3 The segue from "Parabol" to "Parabola"

4 The lyrical messages in "Parabola"

5 The award-winning "Schism"

6 "Disposition", "Reflection", and "Triad" all fit together when played in order.

7 The chilling feeling of the interlude on "Ticks and Leeches"

When the drumming stops, the song feels quite quiet, but it picks up much later.

8 The drumming on "The Grudge"

Second best drumming on the album.

9 The many different time signatures in each song.

I thought I was the only one to notice this. But I guess that's a bit ridiculous. Anyway the song and album is an undisputed masterpiece with some of the best lyrics ever.

Lateralus has several different time signatures, 9/8, 8/8, 7/8. 987 is a number in the Fibonacci sequence.

10 The creepy "Faaip de Oiad"
