Tool is an American progressive metal band formed in Los Angeles in 1990. The band has released five studio albums, all of which have been certified platinum or higher by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Tool is known for its complex and experimental music, which often incorporates elements of progressive rock, metal, and ambient music.
About the Album:
"Lateralus" is the third studio album by Tool. It was released on May 15, 2001, by Zomba Records. The album was a critical and commercial success, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 chart and selling over two million copies in the United States. "Lateralus" was nominated for three Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, and won the award for Best Metal Performance.
The album's music is characterized by its complex and layered arrangements, which often feature odd time signatures and polyrhythms. The lyrics are often cryptic and philosophical, dealing with themes of spirituality, consciousness, and the human condition.
About the Label:
Zomba Records is a British record label founded in 1975. The label has released music by a wide range of artists, including Tool, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, and The Black Eyed Peas. Zomba Records is now a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment.
Each of the main epics on this album are meticulously composed with masterful lyrics. This Lateralus is probably their pinnacle even within a discography of the highest artistic level. The acid and powerful blues journey started with Opiate, continued in part with Undertow and then abandoned with Aenima in favor of a progressive metal updated to the 2000s, reaches an uneven peak here with 10000 Days and Fear Inoculum.
