I think Lateralus is a better album than Aenima. Aenima is a bunch of random songs about random stuff, and they are awesome songs, but Lateralus is like a bunch of lessons which form the foundation of living a good life, culminating in the song Lateralus, which all the other songs revolve around, but when stretched out into a line they form the linear album lateralus. Aenima is just so close to a Tool fans heart that its hard to accept anything as being better. I still don't like Lateralus more, I just think it's a better album in another way than Aenima is better than it.
Anyone know of a connection between Tool and GI Gurdjieff. I have a book about Gurdjieff, and in it is the line "As above so below" like "as below so above", and he has a book called "All and Everything" just like "desperate to control all and everything". I've never gone any deeper than that, but it's kind of cool.
