This track really saved the album for me. I just bought it today, got myself nice and ready and stuck it on. I tried to fight it but a steady feeling of disappointment crept up on me, is this what Tool have become? All melodic riffs and time changes, no substance? Pot gave me some respite, it's good but above all it sounds fresh and new. There followed some good bits in the next tracks, mainly Rosetta Stoned.
This track, though. It just slapped me in the face and massaged my soul. Shivers don't cut it. As good as some moments on Lateralus. It was like all the rhythms and sounds being used on the album suddenly came together to be something. After this sensitization, I couldn't help but love the last two tracks.
Maybe in time I will learn to appreciate the rest of the album, but I think this track will remain my favourite for some time.
