Hal Leonard Corporation. {{ISBN|0-634-03287-9}}, pp. 1965–1969. who then recruited drummer Danny Carey and bassist Paul D'Amour. They initially released a demo EP in 1991 called 72826. Although demos are typically intended only for record labels, the band was so pleased with theirs that they sold copies to their fans. Tool signed to Zoo Entertainment just three months into their career,{{cite journal|url=http://toolshed.down.net/articles/index.php?action=view-article&id=May_1994--Circus_Magazine.html|journal=Circus|title=A Sober Look At Tool|date=May 31, 1994|access-date=April 9, 2007|first=Katherine|last=Turman}} and released their first studio EP, Opiate, in March 1992. After touring to positive reviews, they released their first full-length album, Undertow, in April 1993. The album was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2021.
Shortly after entering the studio to record their second album in September 1995, the band experienced its only lineup change to date, with bassist D'Amour leaving amicably to pursue other projects. He was replaced by Justin Chancellor and recording resumed.{{cite journal|url=http://toolshed.down.net/articles/index.php?action=view-article&id=October_1996--CMJ_New_Music_Report.html|title=Sink or Swim – A Conversation With Tool's Justin Chancellor|journal=Gavin Magazine|date=October 1996|access-date=May 9, 2007|first=Rob|last=Fiend}} October 1996 saw the release of Ænima which eventually beat Tool's debut in sales,{{cite journal|url=http://toolshed.down.net/articles/index.php?action=view-article&id=August_1997--Circus.html|title=Never Wanted To Be Rock Stars But They Are|journal=Circus|volume=8|date=August 1997|access-date=June 25, 2006|first=Edward|last=Fruchtman}} and was certified triple platinum by the RIAA in 2003.

Tool returned in May 2001 with the release of Lateralus. The album reached number one on the US Billboard 200 chart in its debut week, and was certified triple platinum in April 2021. The first single, "Schism", won a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 2002.{{cite web|url=http://www.grammy.com/GRAMMY_Awards/Winners/|title=Grammy Award Winners|publisher=The Recording Academy|access-date=April 28, 2007|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090617152343/http://www.grammy.com/grammy_Awards/Winners/|archive-date=June 17, 2009}} Again waiting five years between releases, 10,000 Days was released in May 2006.
