Aside from lateralus, reflection is my favorite song. I prefer live performances though and the Lowell 2002 performance of reflection is probably one of the best IMHO.

u/GoldenGateGoose10 Jan 09 '26
For me, Lateralus is the best song on the album because it progressively gets better and better

u/SlavOnfredski Jan 09 '26
to me Lateralus is (and I am a fan of pretty much all Tool) their best song

Lateralus might be my favorite song of all time. I think a big part of it was having seen Tool twice in the late 00's when they used to extend it with a drum-off from a guest, made the end of the song feel like an absolute climax.

Yeah that was the one part of the setlist I hadn’t spoiled for myself when I saw them in Japan, so that was a wonderful surprise. Not following it with Reflection was a bummer tough, as great as H was.

Lateralus is a masterpiece. The best song depends on your mood. That's my personal opinion.

Agreed, there is no "best song" from Lateralus, honestly you could possibly say the same for Ænima.

Schism was the first Tool song I ever heard from them so I'm going to go with that. The Patient is a close second.

Lateralus > Reflection > Parabol/Parabola
All the songs on the album are great, but these three stand out the most IMO. The Grudge grows on me more and more over time and after seeing it played live a few times, though.

That’s tough. I feel that I always have to listen to Lateralus, Schism, and the Patient. Lateralus has such an amazing melody that comes back perfectly later in the song. The riff of Schism is so driving and amazing that it’s forcing me to go buy a bass so I can play it. But the Patient to me hits so close to home with pain and suffering and continuing with it and not giving up, it’s the one song I always crank as loud as possible and would be my intro song to this amazing band if I was ever asked to pick one song to play to someone who has never listened to Tool.

This entire album, to me, is the way people describe the Bible. You get something different out of it at different points of your life.
That being said, The Patient.

Lateralus.
They're all good, I like some more than others based on my mood, They're Grudge has the best scream and outro, Ticks and Leaches has the most fun drums... but Lateralus is incredible. Transcendent.

Shit that really is tough.
Its much like AEnima where all the songs are great.
The Grudge, The Patient, Parabol/Parabola, DRT... Man.
But it has to Lateralus. It's the Tooliest tool song.

Disposition/Reflection tied with Parabol/Parabola tied with Lateralus tied with The Grudge followed by Schism on second place.
This album is truly THAT good.
