Claude says:Tool's 2002 opus Lateralus landed in your rotation pretty late but you've kept returning to Schism—that fractured, angular marvel that unfolds like a relationship cracking open in real time, all polyrhythmic precision and Maynard's vocal restraint carrying weight that screams do better. The album itself is a masterclass in progressive metal that doesn't just show off; it builds worlds, and you've let it haunt you sporadically over nearly two decades.
