Their pictures appear in the album.
They make fun of themselves on several tracks.
The lyrics are straight forward and unambiguous.
The artwork is just nice to look at, nothing mysterious.
They're appearing on a handful of magazines.
They're goofing around on stage and in interviews.
Their new press kit photos show them all acting a fool.

This album tosses aside all of the mystique and focuses on rockin' out while remaining true to the mojo of Tool. Get it through your head. Stop looking for a message and go read a book.
