Tool has always been adamantly against the digital release because it lends itself to singles and they see their albums as cohesive things.


I think the streaming issue has a lot more to do with the structure of their standing recording contract. I remember something to the effect that the deal being pre-streaming/digital there was no clause for them to profit. So instead they refused to let it get released that way. But you do make a valid point on their album listening approach and attitude.

Maynard has pointed out he is not anti-dig/streaming by pointing to puscifer and APC

Tools deal was terrible and it's mostly why the album took 13 years to come out. They were in all kinds of legal crap after 10k days.

They finally got it resolved around 2015 or so and part of it was they had no way of making any money digitally or from streaming, so they held out.

Obviously that's resolved now signaled by all the streaming profiles just created and they are going to do a digital/streaming rollout for MMXIX
