Although I haven't heard the entire album yet, I'd probably rate it the same. Tool always delivers great music in everything they do. They aren't a band for every person, since alot of their lyrics can be easily misunderstood.
I definitely agree about most of the lyrics being about life most of the time. 10,000 Days was mostly written about death, whereas Lateralus was written about life, and other topics like Alchemy. Maynard writes alot of lyrics about religion too, and most of them degrade Christianity to an extent. It's easy to understand why, especially about the song Judith from A Perfect Circle. "Praise the one who left you broken down and paralyzed, He did it all for you." Like nutshell said, it was obviously about his mother still being religious, even after the personal problems she experienced.
