Final Verdict: ★★★★★ (5/5)
A late-career apotheosis—"Lateralus" is Aarts’ Pietà, his Guernica, his final climb. It distills 40 years of descent, dance, and forest into one upward gesture. This is not a man carrying a head. This is the artist carrying the song—and the silence after.
"He climbs with the lyre broken in his arms. The fire follows. The void waits. And still—he sings."
