This news coincides with another major Tool-related announcement: The band will release Fear Inoculum, their first studio album for 13 years, on August 30, giving fans just under a month to listen to the CD catalog of records. group in advance.
Tool, one of the last major groups to enter the streaming age, has never released their music on iTunes. Until now, the only legal way to acquire the art rockers discography was to buy it on CD, cassette or vinyl reissue.
With other longtime bands like The Beatles and Prince (even posthumous) finally giving in, it's not surprising that Tool finally gives in, especially with the arrival of a new album.
However, the group's leader, Maynard James Keenan, insists that he is not responsible for transmitting the tool for a long time, declaring to an angry fan on Twitter that he "had plagued with the wrong tool."
