Well, some months ago a friend of mine told me he had gotten thirteenth step and said it was a crapy album and he also owns the debut album and loves it, but however he lend to me thirteenth step and i listen to it maybe 3 times and started to like it and by now i must say I'm pretty much in love with a couple of tracks tracks like "blue" and "the noose", they are just awesome this is too much softer than other Tool or a perfect circle stuff but it just takes you to another level, i must say all the tracks are not as good but no doubt i will be buying this very soon.

The production is just awesome I love it. At home I own some crapy sound equipment so when I drive somewhere I take this CD and play it in my car where the sound is very nice and I can hear every arrangement of the songs, the guitars are not as hard as Tool ones but they give the songs excellent feeling, the bass rifs are a bit like Tool ones but softer and very harmonious, the drums are killer just perfect and all those effects and sounds in the background are so in place you can't avoid hearing the same track over and over again, as soon as I got 3000 bucks I'm going to buy some huge speakers and that stuff and just hear "blue" all the volume up, and other tracks from the album. if you like smashing pumpkins I think you will love this album, but if you like heavier stuff you may not like it. and anyone who has in mind being a producer also must hear this, I want to be a producer and I want my music to hear like this.

Better than Tool - I never thought I could even concieve of such a thing but this album is better than tool
