[Rick and Roll]

Undertow is actually easier on the ears then Aenima is. I just like Aenima's arrangements a bit better. I usually dismiss lyrics that are crude, they just roll off my back. I can see why some people get offended, though. Sometimes a point can be conveyed without the histronics.

"Would you like to see the Pope at the end of a rope do you think he's a fool" on it's own is offensive, but when you realize Ozzy is actually singing it in a pro-God tune (After Forever) it kind of fits (and musically the meter he uses works). He's actually ribbing the non-religious.

I haven't met anyone yet who had heard Lateralus and NOT liked it. I would be interested in hearing from that person..........
