The band emerged with a*heavy metalsound on their first studio album,Undertow*(1993), and later became a dominant act in the*alternative metalmovement with the release of their second album,*Ænima, in 1996. Their efforts to unify musical experimentation,visual arts, and a message of personal evolution continued with*Lateralus(2001) and the most recent album,10,000 Days*(2006), gaining the band critical acclaim and commercial success around the world.
Due to Tool's incorporation of visual arts and very long and complex releases, the band is generally described as a style-transcending act and part of*progressive rock,*psychedelic rock*and*art rock. The relationship between the band and today's*music industry*is ambivalent, at times marked by*censorship*and the band's insistence on privacy.
Nothing worse than proof to shut the trolls up.
They are progressive rock. There's a difference between rock and metal hence the thread ROCK/METAL.
