As of Friday (Aug. 2), Tool’s music catalog is finally available on streaming and digital services. After years of holding out, and ahead of their upcoming fifth studio album release Fear Inoculum on Aug. 30 the group’s previous four LPs, plus their 1992 EP Opiate, are now available on Pandora, Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music and other services.
