A few factors remain constant throughout their work, however. They love using weird time signatures that shift throughout the song; one track ("Lateralus") even has the rhythm and syllables of the lyrics arranged in a Fibonacci sequence (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13). The members of the group have unique styles, and Maynard James Keenan's vocals are instantly recognizable, not only for his voice but for his skill with the MetalScream. Danny Carey is also one of the most acclaimed contemporary drummers going, and Adam Jones's guitar tone on ''Opiate'', ''Undertow'' and ''Lateralus'' is just as iconic as Keenan's vocals. Not to mention Justin Chancellor's strong bass lines (and on ''Opiate'' and ''Undertow'', Paul D'Amour), which often make a Tool song instantly recognizable.

Over the band's career, they've addressed many diverse topics such as religion, the music industry and media censorship, child abuse, drug use, transcendence, and even FanDumb ''from their own fans'' who started giving them the "ItsPopularNowItSucks" treatment. This varied subject matter has also made Tool the subject of much controversy and censorship, including one incident with their song "Stinkfist," which was renamed and edited to run on MTV due to "offensive connotations," as well as Walmart not selling their first LP ''Undertow'' with the original cover art. Despite (or possibly because of) that controversy, they have remained a hugely successful group and continue to actively tour both in the United States and internationally.
Three of the group's songs ("Schism," "Parabola," and "Vicarious") also appeared on ''VideoGame/GuitarHero: World Tour'' as playable tracks.

** The triple song set of "Disposition", "Reflection" and "Triad" on ''Lateralus'' was originally intended to be one very long song. Due to its unwieldy length even by Tool's standards, the band was forced to split it into three individual songs, with each acting as an introduction, middle, and ending for a very metaphor-heavy narrative.
** ''10,000 Days'' has a two-parter consisting of "Wings for Marie (Pt. 1)" and "10,000 Days (Wings Pt. 2)".

* OddFriendship: Maynard is friends with several members of the 1990s alternative comedy scene, including Creator/BobOdenkirk, Creator/DavidCross, and Creator/JackBlack. This led to Tool having a cameo in ''Series/MrShow'' as the band "Puscifer," which was eventually used as the name of Maynard's solo project. Tool also toured with Music/TenaciousD as an opening band before the comedy duo was widely known.
