I suspect that most people would agree that Lateralus is their most psychedelic recording, but I am wondering if others have a different opinion.
Not necessarily the album you WANT to take psychedelics to listen to, but the one that has the most psychedelic mindset, focus, execution, and listening effect. Danny said in an interview once that Lateralus and Ænima were psychedelic albums. Of the two, which is the most psychedelic, or is another one more so?
Lateralus is definitely their most psychedelic work, in my opinion. No other album has taken me through the deep recesses of my mind like Lateralus has. It is a good point to mention that the term 'psychedelic' does not necessarily imply the use of drugs in order to enjoy the music, or whatever the stimulus may be. Anything that prods you into thinking differently about something can be considered psychedelic in my books.
I would agree that it is their most psychedelic album, but I reckon Third Eye and Wings/10,000 Days are the most psychedelic tracks, as in they are the ones that make me feel the "highest" without actually doing drugs.
Yeah, they have lush layers of music, that's ambient to me anyway....that kind of high you get from Tool, because they suck you into their own enviroment with their art.

I think Tool has ambient tracks, but I disagree with the ones you think they are :p
Tool's ambient tracks are like (-)ions > Third Eye intro or Intension, for example. A lot of their live "jams" like the pre-Vicarious arrangement are very ambient as well. But as a whole, you can't just say that since something creates a type of ambiance, it should classified in the ambient genre.

well, no i'm not saying that they're classified in the ambient genre...i'm saying that everything has a very ethereal feel to it, the word ambience means: an enviroment or it's distinct atmosphere...to me that describes Tool.
