Definitely The Pot.

Very different song from the rest of the album. I like how Tool has continued the tradition of putting a "pissed-off rant" song on their albums
(Hooker with a Penis, Ticks and Leeches). I heard a 30 second clip of this song on the Circuit City website the Sunday before 10,000 Days came out and I was immediately intrigued.

Definitely "Rosetta Stoned," as it's just so different.

I don't know if you mean that, Terry, but I would say "The Grudge" is one of Tool's weakest songs. Probably my #2 all-time least favorite.

Jambi for me. I had heard Vicarious before the album came out (as had almost all of us), and i was expecting Lateralus Part 2. But then Jambi came on, "and i was like Holy Fucking Shit!"

And in regards to The Grudge argument? Personnaly it's one of my favourite Tool tracks ever, behind Pushit, Third Eye, Aenima, Lateralus and Jambi.

lost keys definitely stood out first
i had heard vicarious on the radio, jambi sounded kinda boring at first
but lost keys got this crazy chilling vibe to it. it was like the first time i listened to lateralus and was like what could possibly happen next. amd what happened next was
"shit the bed"

Jambi for me.

Am I the only who finds "Right In Two" really horrible? It almost sounds like an 80's ballad at points.
