i dont agree with the Adam bashing either. i think his playing on this album is more passionfelt than anything else he has done. but same can be said for Justin, i mean he is just absolutely amazing. in modern rock i have to believe he is the best. maynards lyrics are also fantastic. strangely enough it seems Danny is in the background most of all for this album, but he does get to play the Tabla on this album. It really is a Tool album, not just one of theirs.
