Surprised this hasn't been posted yet, kind of low hanging fruit but it is one of the best covers ever

I know this is an album art forum but damn I love TOOLs music.

This album for sure has the best art booklet of any CD I've ever own.

Here I go listening to Tool again.

btw this cover is made by Alex Grey if anyone want to see more of his art

Have you seen the booklet? I guess you have.

For anyone else who hasn't,

The booklet is about 8 clear plastic pages with layers, so as you open each page it shows a lower layer.

It's really freakin cool.

Aw yeah it really is amazing! Alex Grey and Tool go together perfectly

Same artist who did the art work for 'DMT: the spirt molecule' right ?

Yes it is! According to a friend who has experience with DMT Alex Grey visualizes the experience perfectly

My friend would like to try it some time, but has no idea where to get it or how to make sure it's the real deal.

Such a big fan of Alex Grey's work. Highly recommend checking out his book, Net of Being

As a complete album, Lateralus is one of my favourite things to listen to. It's kind of amazing.

Definitely, I'm a big fan of albums that just flow as one.
