The new Tool album is amazing. I think Invincible is flat out bonkers. It's three songs wrapped into one and is so well executed.
What I find impressive about Tool is that you know you're listening to a Tool song. Their sound is unique and they haven't deemed it necessary to reinvent themselves over the years like so many other bands have done. The album Opiate is probably the biggest departure from their true sound and is only so because their label at the time said they needed put their heaviest songs on the record to break through. Oddly, Undertow is what got them their real break.
