I had zero expectations for this album. I'm a casual Tool fan and love some of their work.
I say this trying not to be over-the-top, and, also, completely free of any substance influence
If you are a person who can free your mind and, for lack of better terminology, reach a zen
state of mind--and you allow yourself to listen to this album front to back, fully immersed
in it, it's almost a spiritual experience. I'm totally blown away by how deeply impactful it is.
A musical masterwork.
