Yeah, Stinkfist and Lateralus are amazing. Lateralus would be my #1 too, and Stinkfist isn't too far away.

I'd place 'The Grudge' definately higher though. It perfectly captures Lateralus' album atmosphere AND it kicks a lot of ass. That scream by Maynard is one of my favorite screams in rock music, especially how he fires it off. The outro is one of my favorite Tool outros as well. That's my only complaint with Tool: They don't rip it up enough on some albums. Luckily on 10,000 Days they solved that problem, but they also lost some of their 'Tool-ness' with it. A good sacrifice, 10,000 Days is such a fun album to listen to.

I never understood the love for Lateralus (title track) it wouldn't be in my tool top 20 actually.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

:o
Not even top 20? It captures everything I love about Tool! It's also one of their best songs musically, you don't really get that combination of intensity and technicality with many other Tool songs. (except on drums, I suppose)

Hmm...maybe I'm being a bit harsh.  I'll relisten and let you know.

While playing Halo with various DTF members, we decided we need a Tool survivor. Badly. Anyone interested?

Do any of you want to run it? I'm doing the In Flames one right now. I could do 2, but I'd like to let someone else have a shot.

EDIT: If one of you wants to step up, you can get it started. Post in the Ongoing Survivors thread first though.

I'd do it, but I'm not too familiar with Lateralus though (yes, I've heard it though, and acknowledge it's awesomeness).

EDIT: I'd definitely participate in all the other albums though, so count me in

I guess ill just do it. It shouldn't be hard to run 2 survivors at once.

You vote for your least favorite song each round and it creates a ranking for the album. Top 2 or 3 from each album make it to the finals and you vote again for a winner.
