They love using weird time signatures that shift throughout the song, and one track ("Lateralus") even has the rhythm and syllables of the lyrics arranged in a Fibonacci sequence (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13). To emphasize this even more, Tool does not release official lyrics with any of their albums, so that what the lyrics actually mean (or even are) never gets in the way of what the listener thinks they mean.Ī few factors remain constant throughout their work however. Tool incorporates many different styles and influences in their music, but the one theme they keep constant is the importance of personal interpretation of their songs, making it possibly the only band that runs solely on The Walrus Was Paul. Since then, four studio albums have been released, all of which have gone platinum and have achieved widespread success worldwide. On March 1992, their first EP Opiate was released. Like many bands in the 90's music scene, Tool started out as an underground group, and was signed by a record company after only three months of playing as a group.
