I get this feeling sonically too, especially with tracks like Reflection and The Patient. 10,000 Days is personal. It's warmer. Maynard lets us into the emotional ride he was on after his mother's death, and instead of abstract, vaguely stated references to human nature, Maynard is now far more direct. I see the differences between Lateralus and 10,000 Days like the differences between night and day, and which album I prefer really depends on how I'm feeling on any particular day.

Couldn't agree more.
