Tool Lateralus Vinyl Review

Just another terrible review for this.

Tool lateralus vinyl review.

The discs are heavy grade being a double album the grooves are not crammed in tightly together allowing for more headroom and giving your arm and cartridge every opportunity to extract as much detail and energy as possible. Sounds ok when it s full band but in the soft dynamics it ruins the listening. On august 23 2005 lateralus was released as a limited edition two picture disc vinyl lp in a holographic gatefold package. Editorial reviews fifty one months after lateralus original release in cd format tool is ready to release a double vinyl four picture disc edition of lateralus.

Tool managed to create a winning formula with their 1996 album aenima and they continued with this for their follow up in 2001. Each side contains a different picture and is packaged in a plastic gatefold with a holographic foil. Mine has tons of surface noise. I ran it through a technics su 91g and my ess 1b speakers.

Undertow tool s 1993 debut lp took studio skill and over trained chops to metal with aplomb. As soon as i received it i cleaned it thoroughly and then i put it on the platter of my b o turntable with an mmc 5 cartridge running at 1 2 gram. Lateralus has long been a favourite album and this vinyl pressing serves only to enhance the experience. Lateralus is the third studio album by american rock band tool.

Anyway on a whim i splashed out on tools lateralus on vinyl. Finding tool records never used is difficult much less in like new condition. But that is one of lateralus most. It was rush sabbath.

I know it s a picture disc release. So much of tool s third full length studio album five years in the waiting due in part to extended legal turbulence makes so little sense at first. This is an amazing two picture disk lp of tool s lateralus. Lateralus flows like a concept album and is helped to do this by its linking songs.

Lateralus takes the l a. As emotional melodic metal goes the cultural impact of which will be left to. I ve only seen few that say it sounds great so looks like it ll just be a collectors item for me. This is that very record.

The band have perfected every little detail for lateralus and was well worth the wait. The biggest complaint is a shut in sound and poor dynamics on the cd. Here s hoping they release this album properly for vinyl.
