Although it may lack the agression and punch of earliar work it's a much more rounded and mature work.
I think this can be said for most of their albums, but especially 10,000 Days and Lateralus. I love that most of their songs have a plethora of different riffs and fills in them, so like you said every time you listen to it you can fall in love with something else.

I don't think Maynard is a 'tool,' I think he is just very, very firm in his beliefs and in the ways he expresses them. I think he would be a very intimidating person to meet, I would be terrified of him...

And yeah, totally agreed that Tool have a tribal aspect of them, which is apparent in almost all of their work.
