I think it's a good album. It's just that Tool set the bar so high with their previous albums that it seemed like a disappointment. It grows on me each time I hear it, just like all the others. I've heard a lot of people say that Wings for Marie, and Wings 2 killed the flow of the album, but in case they haven't noticed, no Tool albums really have a flow to them. They have lots of filler tracks and every track basically starts slow or with a certain vibe, and then usually picks up at the end.
