When they play shows, humongous crowds come out and go nuts for them. And as with that band, Tool have a very large, very diehard fanbase despite not releasing anything resembling a 'hit' in years. As time has shown, it's much more accurate to group Tool with genre-defying art rock trailblazers like Radiohead. The same year critics were hailing a bunch of post-punk and garage rock impressionists as saviors of rock, some of those same critics were shitting on Tool's inventive Lateralus. Like their peers Nine Inch Nails, Tool were frequently misunderstood and wrongly grouped with nu metal or other often-maligned styles of alternative metal. If you've been hesitant to check out Tool before this, that wouldn't be too surprising. If you're not, what better time than now to finally dig into the catalog of one of heavy music's weirdest and most rewarding bands? Especially with their looooooong-awaited new album Fear Inoculum just around the corner (it's due August 30), it's a great time to familiarize yourself with or brush up on Tool's catalog. Tool's music was of course still readily available before this via, you know, all the ways you obtained music before like 2015, but it's still a very exciting and very convenient thing that you can now listen to all of their music from your laptops and smartphones and smart speakers without needing to do anything illegal or rip it off one of those pesky 'CDs.' If you're a Tool fan, there's a good chance you own all this stuff already anyway. Their 2000 live/outtakes compilation Salival is also not currently streaming. Get ready for the future, folks!' All four of their studio albums ( Undertow, Ænima, Lateralus, 10,000 Days) and their Opiate EP are available, but not their 1991 demo 72826, which briefly appeared on streaming services last month but quickly disappeared. It’s called Digital Downloads and Streaming.

There’s a brand new thing we think you’re really gonna dig. 'Our obsession with, and dream of, a world where BetaMax and Laser Disc rule has ended,' said characteristically sarcastic frontman Maynard James Keenan.

After years of keeping their music off streaming services, Tool have finally added their back catalog to Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, Amazon Music, Pandora, TIDAL, Google Play, and more.
