Tool’s 2001 release, “Lateralus”, is the pinnacle of Tool’s creative endeavours without question. The performances on this album from all 4 members is off the charts, but Carey’s drumming and Chancellor’s bass make up the heart and soul of this album. Notable tracks include “Schism” and “The Grudge”, with my hidden gem being “Ticks & Leeches”. One of, if not the greatest, progressive metal albums ever put to vinyl.
