I'm on my 5th listen and i sill really like it. I love the guitar tones throughout the record. The bass tone and delay about 1:15 in on Pneuma is wonderful and classic tool in my book. All the percussion and vocals sound great to me as well. Not a fan of chocolate chip trip or mockingbeat. As far as compression goes, it doesn't bother me on this record unless i'm thinking about it. Other modern metal albums are way worse (e.g. the last two unlistenable baroness albums). Great thread and fun reading every ones opinion. Anyone going to see the tour?
