Tool's greatest uncovering was to inaugurate overcloud, mistily subway alloy to the preening ostentatiousness of delicately graphics swag.

Though Metallica wrote their multi-sectioned, layered songs as if they were composers, they unbroken their musical comedy bombardment fiercely at street story. Tool didn't. They embraced the artsy, faux-bohemian preoccupations of Jane's Addiction spell they simultaneously paid melodious homage to the morose, unrelentingly raw visions of grindcore, last alloy, and slam dance. Even with their post-punk influences, they executed their music with the heavy, anti-song esthetic of prog stone, alternating betwixt long, detailed instrumental interludes and unmelodious, pseudo-meaningful lyrical rants in their songs.

With Shaft dissipation rumors swirling, the band assign the meditation to repose by re-entering the recording studio apartment and issuing the make-do B-sides/DVD set Salival belatedly the same class. Finally, May 2001 sawing machine the button of Tool's third uncut sacking, Lateralus, which debuted at the number unitary position on the Billboard album chart and became the band's biggest hit.
