they hide the album and band name in the song names to find the correct order you you have to rearrange the song names and also align the song names properly with one another (left or right alignment like in a text document) they give you hints in the album artwork and the music videos are actually instructional videos on how to arrange the songs the things in the videos are supposed to represent individual song names or letters
so for lateralus you are looking for TOOLLATERALUS in the song names so ill show you the 4 songs that make up the TOOL part to show you how to align them
these are the 4 songs (ive capitalized the TOOL letters)
[T]riad
the voice
- f god*
- sition
*you have to translate faaip de oiad to english same thing with viginti tres on 10,000 days or else it doesnt work
so if you open a text document and type in those 4 songs in a mono spaced font like fixedsys and then right align the first 3 songs (as in just line up the last letter of each word with one another) and then line up the first letter of disposition and reflection youll see that TOOL is spelled out diagonally
now if you dont understand that heres a picture of what i mean

now theres another step you have to do with that
which is after you find the correct track list with the TOOL and LATERALUS you have to put the TOOL into the LA TE RA LUS like so
la O te L ra T lus O
and you get this
parabol
parabola
disposition
the patient
ticks & leeches
reflection
the grudge
mantra
triad
eon blue apocalypse
lateralus
schism
faaip de oiad
so thats what you do man you just find the letters and this took me a good 5 years to figure out how to do it and another 3 to figure out aenima lateralus 10,000 days and undertow (undertow doesnt follow this but there is a secret track list in the cd booklet if you look carefully) i didnt figure out salival yet
and the reason the album names are all weird is because i think tool names the songs then aligns them and looks for something that sort of resembles a word and names the album after it
well if you want to know how to do aenima 10,000 days or undertow let me know
also i hope i didnt ruin this for you but it took me like 8 years to figure this out i thought i could just save you alot of time
