“Some things are subjective, and some things are not," said Maynard. In an interview with Kerrang!, the singer also let people know that Tool doesn't feel the need to pander to everything their fans ask of them. Everything’s a fucking committee meeting and it always gets shut down…When you get successful, you think you’re right about everything and you’re pretty sure as that individual: ‘I am right and you are wrong, because I’m successful and we’re successful because of me, not because of you.’ It’s not that bad with us, but there’s a dynamic of, like, ‘I want this and I’ve always gotten my way and that’s why we’re successful, because I don’t compromise on this or that.’ I’m the same way. While many fans were frustrated with how long Tool have taken to work on this album, frontman Maynard James Keenan recently used an interview to clear things up: “The four of us are a lot of fucking work, just to get anywhere, oh my God. Meanwhile, a mash-up of Tool and Justin Bieber has gone viral, seemingly in an attempt to squash the beef that's emerged between the two.

Shortly thereafter, all of their albums cracked the iTunes download charts, with Lateralus becoming the most downloaded album on iTunes. On Friday, the band's back catalog finally hit streaming services. Overall, this album has phenomenal moments and really highlights the quality of the group and if it was trimmed down or more substance was added to the weaker tracks it could be one of the greatest records ever but it just falls short in my opinion.This has already been a big week for Tool. Furthermore, there are whole songs that do feel a little unnecessary and I do sometimes skip them when I listen to the record. This is mainly due to the interludes which are pretty much pointless and do disrupt the flow of the album. However, the record does feel a bit filler heavy with the 77 minute run time being really dragged out. This standard is also upheld on a few other tracks so there is always another reason to keep on listening. All of them are aggressive and possess phenomenal guitar work and vocal performances and they really demonstrate TOOL at its strongest. Lateralus was the huge album for my age group, but Aenima is easily better. The songs that really stood out to me on the record was the title track, Forty Six & 2 and Stinkfist. Album Rating: 4.0 I think I was like 7 when Aenima came out, so missed the buzz. This is a great album filled with fantastic moments that you can enjoy every time you revisit. The standard deviation for this album is 19.2. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 81.6/100, a mean average of 80.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.7/100. This album is rated in the top 1% of all albums on. (*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)

The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).

However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. Rating metrics: Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This album is probably my all time favorite - so many hits / from H to aenima to pushit- if you like to jog or workout - this is an amazing album because it you can just keep going and going.- each and every trip to the gym - it's Maynard and tool and watch your body and mind grow exponentially.
