That review is a historical masterpiece. The rating is the trigger, because it is absurd, but draws you in to read "why the fuck" and you end up understanding the author is shitting on the review itself. He even admits the music is a masterpiece but I'm going to 1.9 this motherfucker because fuck all this shit.
Especially the part that actually thought a new album would be out after 3 years:
Just imagine the Tool record that will come out in three years, according to my theory. It will be the future, and albums can be like longer with better compression and technology. Even as amazing as Lateralus is, I feel like there's a monster coming in three years. Music comes in cycles, and works on math, and my life and Tool are proof of that for sure.
