It has been pointed out that Third Eye is the Aenima to Lateralus bridge if that's what you're looking for.

While I doubt Intension will be a theme or sound of the next album, I do like the song. But in the same way as Wings for Marie/10,000 Days, I need to be in a certain frame of mind. Whereas I have no problem flipping on Jambi or Rosetta Stoned even if I'm doing something else and not particularly attentive, Intension takes a lot of focus for me to enjoy.
