The game itself is incredible, just epic. It lives up to all the previous incarnations of the series. Even after you're done with the story, tere is a ton of things left to do, so you get your money's worth.
Okay so I bought this on the strength of the rapture single (which is an excellent song). However after listening to the CD once (and subsequent times) I really noticed where they lifted ideas from other songs/artist. I don't mean an arrangement or piece that seems to draw influence from something else, but entire melodies, guitar lines, chordal arrangements. Its pretty noticeable too, and I'm not saying other musicians don't do it as well, but on this CD it is completely blatant. Other than that the rest of the CD is a bit moody and dark, but I like that (hence why it didn't get lower than 3 stars), and the music that can actually be called original is interesting at times.
In terms of sound, this is Tool's densest album. That's probablly because of the new engineer they used. As with switching the to a new engineer tool manages not only to progress their music on this album, but also solidfy everything they have done previously. If you like albums that take some time to get into, lyrics that actually carry meaning, and some pretty funny moments, then you should get this album.
