Lateralus

The Fibonacci album. Time signatures that walk up the spiral, lyrics arranged in syllable counts that match the sequence, the title track structured like the math it's named for. Five years after Ænima, recorded in the band's own studio — proof Tool could build a record like a cathedral and still make you headbang.
