And if you did say that, you’d have a point. That the band is all too happy to just sit on its ass, play a few festivals every now and then, and spend the rest of their time twiddling their thumbs inside their mansions. You could say that TOOL is a bit, well, lazy. And there’s nothing the label or “management” can do about it. If it wants to spend 13 years working on a new record, it will. TOOL does pretty much whatever it wants when it wants. In order to better understand TOOL, you need to think about the band as more of an art project than an honest-to-goodness rock and/or metal band. That in itself should tell you everything you need to know about TOOL. Most fans don’t even know what Adam Jones or Danny Carey look like, despite the fact TOOL is one of the biggest bands on the planet. You never really know anything about any of its members. The band is also steeped in mystery, always has been. This means there’s no real rush to do anything, whether you’re talking about recording new music or touring. Unlike pretty much every other metal and/or rock band on the planet, TOOL is uniquely placed: it has a massive, loyal fanbase and its members are all incredibly wealthy. TOOL is one of the greatest bands working today. But is there hope for a new TOOL album? Let’s find out… The gap between these two records? A staggering 13 years.
