I disagree; although I enjoy Lateralus much( and especially some songs like Ticks & Leeches and Lateralus), I like Blackwater park even more; when I first listened to it I was delighted by the ability of this band to mix brutal death metal with great melodic acoustic parts in such a natural way. I really think that all the tracks of this album are great, and especially the track Blackwater Park, a great 12-minute song with many many great riffs, one coming after the other.........

But, anyway, the score is Tool-Opeth 3-1 and Tool need two more votes to go to the second round...

I guess that many people on this site are discouraged to vote, because the rules of this game seem a little complicated. But I believe that if you pay a little attention to the rules, you will like this game and want to participate in it

First of all I'd like to say that I like both Tool and Opeth as well as own nearly all of each band's albums.Whether you prefer Opeth or Tool is one thing, but it's obviously not fair (or better said, appropriate) to put Lateralus up against the great Blackwater Park, which obviously should've won this, yet didn't.If I were to put in one of Tool's better albums though, it wouldn't of been Lateralus...lol.Seriously, is this all a joke?Undertow really is the true definition of Tool in their prime, period.The same could nearly be said for Aenima as well all though I think Aenima just falls short when comparing the albums as a whole...to listen to all the way thru, ya know?Then again the thread starts off representing Lateralus as the great Tool album and honestly, if Opiate was longer I'd probally pick that over Lateralus as the better album, ya see?

Putting it the right way would be:

Undertow or Aenima against Blackwater Park.

If it would've been Undertow or Aenima against Blackwater Park, the choice would be difficult.Seeing that you put up Lateralus though, Blackwater Park would clearly win/dominate.By the way, if any of you don't already own Blackwater Park or any other Opeth albums, I'd highly recommend it.Opeth obviously does much more with 7-15 minute songs than Tool ever has.No offense to Tool (I love the band), just simply my appreciation for the incredible metal band Opeth, cheers!!!

Obviously Hendrix wins here!!!

PF is a joke.I can understand why some people could be fans of them and all, but when it comes to talent and making good music to listen to...lol...well, PF shouldn't even be on this list.

I believe the vote is now 4-4 though, peace.

It was fair to put Lateralus up against Blackwater Park. Lateralus is Tool's most highly regarded album, just as Blackwater Park is often Opeth's most highly regarded album. Undertow expanded on Opiate, Ænima expanded on Undertow, and Lateralus expanded on Ænima. Tool's music becomes more and more complex and abstract with every release. It really doesn't matter which album you would choose over Lateralus, because what you think isn't going to change anything. Lateralus is still often referred to as Tool's best album, and it still beat Blackwater Park. What exactly are you trying to prove?

When it comes to intricateness and divergency, Tool absolutely eradicate Opeth. Lateralus is one of Tool's most progressive albums. In fact, Lateralus alone is more progressive than anything Opeth have ever recorded. It's certainly more progressive than Undertow as well. If you don't think that Lateralus is a heavy, progressive album, then it's quite obvious that you are the one that needs to 'get real'.

Now quit trying to shove your uneducated opinion down everyone's throat and get back on topic.
