Not AT all.
Seriously, if you compare any elements of this album to something else, it sounds a lot more like Lateralus than anything APC has ever done, but I'm only saying there are elements of Lateralus, the new album is completely fresh and different from the last, like all of Tool's albums. That's why they wait 5 years between album releases.
Why doesn't this sound like APC in the least?
Billy Howerdel writes the music for APC and has nothing to do with Tool.
Adam Jones, Danny Carey and Justin Chancellor write most of the music for Tool.
My biggest beef with this album is that there are only 11 songs with like 3 tracks that are short instrumental or noisy 2 minute tracks that Tool often puts on their albums. So this album doesn't feel like it has more than 6 or 7 full songs on it.
I'll upload the song THE POT for people to check out.
Trust me, EVERYONE should check it out before passing judgement on the band. It could help people be a lot more open minded, if you've already formed an opinion on their music from past listens.
