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..........

I know someone who loathes Lateralus. Someone really special to me, by the name of Andy. *heart*... But yeah, he thinks Lateralus is a crap version of Aenima. Redundant, drawn out,... and he doesn't like Lateralus's lyrics, either. Heh he told me he was going to steal my Lateralus and throw it out the window! But yeah ;P

And there are a lot of people out there that think Lateralus is
by far Tool's worst album.
