Not done - Please be more specific. Why do you think this? What parts are overly promotional? Sergecross73msg me 01:57, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is a point in the introduction where it is suggested the band gained “critical acclaim”. I believe it’s misleading, as the two albums cited in the same sentence received generally favorable reviews, not exactly critical acclaim. Ponchoandlefty (talk) 06:39, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There's two instances of 'critical acclaim' in the lead. They probably shouldn't be there, and instead should focus on the overall sales or charts instead as those are more concrete than reviews. Also, I think Opiate should be mentioned in the lead as well, since that was their first major release which gave them initial exposure, prior to Undertow (despite being an EP, it should also be listed under Discography, but that's a discussion for another time).

Additions to influence
I suggest two additions to the section discussing King Crimson's influence on Tool:
1. Peach, the band Justin Chancellor played in prior to joining Tool, included a cover of King Crimson's "Catfood" on their album Giving Birth to a Stone (see https://www.discogs.com/release/1098701-Peach-Giving-Birth-To-A-Stone).
2. The opening ~11 seconds of "Sweat", the first song on debut EP Opiate, bear a sonic resemblance to the opening seconds of "21st Century Schizoid Man", the opening track of King Crimson's debut album In the Court of the Crimson King.

Hello. Unfortunately, this would violate Wikipedia's policy of no original research. Things need to be more directly stated by reliable sources, such as, if a band member mentioned an influence in an interview or something. Sergecross73msg me 16:41, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
