I really like the album. It's not my favorite of theirs, but it has some solid gems. I like that it's different than their others - it shows growth and a willingness to try and branch out from the norm.
The way you talk about this album (MTG) is how I feel about Thirteenth Step. Just a driving, engaging pulse throughout the whole thing. Beautiful.
That being said - no APC album comes close to Aenima, Lateralus, or 10,000 Days. I bet the new Tool album (whenever the **** that comes out) is going to be insane. Very different, but still insane.
