David Fricke from Rolling Stone has published a great review for the album.

You need time to deal with Lateralus - a lot more than the seventy-seven minutes it takes just to play the whole disc. And for much of that time, you will wonder: What the fuck is going on here?

The mix is inside out - roiling percussion and grunting bass to the fore; the singer bellowing from the far back of the band's black roar. And where is the melodic and narrative resolution in this crushing darkness?
