However, after listening to it about two more times through it is starting to grow on me, but it still isn't my favorite.

I'd say it sounds like a harder, less melodic and less inspirational/insightful Pink Floyd album...

very much what i would expect from someone not a tool fan.. thats almost the same feelings i had about it except i really wanted to like it. i like the pink floyd relation, because that kinda is what it sounds like, more of a whole track/album than a collection of songs.

i'd check out opiate or aenma (both albums, numbers 1 and 3 respectivly) if you havnt herd that much tool. those might be my fav albums of thiers at this time, not really a single song i dont like on either. also off lateralus ticks and leeches is a great song not alot of people have herd, and i love 3rd eye eulogy and aenima on the album aenima, which none get radio play because of the 8+ min tracks. sober is on undertow, along with alot of other good ones, swamp song, 4 degrees.. i could go on.. the past albums have had great songs, this new one was more of a whole album... a masterpiece if you will. almost have to work your way into it.
