Some props need to be given to Tool in that they are just doing what they want to, not really trying to be super commercial, or giving into the modern brickwalled electronic sound that is so prevalent. Eat the Elephant’s vocals were so loud and the album was produced so poppy.
I agree. I think it comes down to the fact that they're simply good musicians and they're smart, in that they know how to maintain the sound that they've patented over the years. Not chasing trends is a big part of it, but that's kind of expected, I mean we are talking about Tool here.
