Tool - Lateralus resequenced. I came across this again, years ago a group of 'fans' (aka nuts) figured it should be rearranged according the Fibonacci sequence and actually thought the band 'intended' it this way (calling it The Holy Gift - there's plenty of reading material on it online if interested). Of course the band (Keenan) was clever enough to feed the mystery by stating he liked fans re interpreting their work.

Admittedly, it does add up in a weird way, but so does the original track listing.
Oh well, it's always treat to hear the album, regardless of sequencing order.

Always wondered who or what the intended target of the Ticks & Leeches lyrics was, and being grateful it is not me. Probably an industry person or persons, Keenan has never been one to hold back:

Suck and suck. Suckin up all you can suckin up all you can suck.
Workin up under my patience like a little tick.
Fat little parasite. Suck me dry.
My blood is bruised and borrowed. You thieving bastards.
You have turned my blood cold and bitter,
beat my compassion black and blue.

Hope this is what you wanted.
Hope this is what you had in mind.
Cuz this is what you're getting.
I hope you're choking. I hope you choke on this.
I hope you're choking. I hope you choke on this.

Taken all I can taken all I can, we can take. Taken all you can taken you can,
we can take.
Got nothing left to give to you.
Blood suckin parasitic little blood suckin parasitic little
blood suckin parasitic little tick
Take what you want and then go.

Suck me dry.

Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you had in mind?
Is this what you wanted?
Cuz this this is what you're getting.
I hope, I hope, I hope you choke.
