From prolonged disputes with record labels to other industry setbacks, the band’s journey has been far from smooth. Even so, few bands could match Tool’s influence and standing. Known for their meticulous creative process and reluctance to embrace digital formats, the band has often taken a stubborn approach that, while frustrating at times, has become a defining part of their identity.
