Yes, the CD package is really cool. For those that don't know, they put 2 steroscopic lenses as part of the cover and they have pages of artwork in 3D to look at. Very cool.
As far as the music goes, I have been a TOOL fan since day one and I think they have moved forward. When the forst song hits, you know it's TOOL. They do keep to the same stylings but if you listen to track #8 (Rosetta Stoned ) you will know that they are always trying something different. So some same but much different.
Go see them live if you can. I saw them on the Lateralis tour and it was the best show I have ever seen (including Pink Floyd).
Just listen to it, who cares if it sounds anything like a previous album??? It's TOOL!
