I like both songs, but..

I have to give it to Third Eye. One of my favorite Tool songs ever, from my very favorite Tool album! "I opened my eye.." still gives me chills.

Seriously folks. What the fuck? You take a riff from one of your old songs, move it to another place on the fretboard, lop off a note so it's a nonsensical 11/8 part instead of a moderately cool 12/8 one and then play it for a couple of minutes... and the song is somehow IMPROVED?
typical Kiwi idiot, go and listen again
