Initially, the album's title track became the longest track ever to enter Billboard's top 10. Then Tool released their entire album after 13 years which is also the first Tool album to be released on music-streaming-services such as iTunes, Spotify, and Deezer. After which it also became the first to occupy all ten spots on Billboard's Rock Sales chart.
However, the fact that the album recently dislodged pop sensation, Taylor Swift's Lover, becoming no.1 on Billboards top 200, became unsettling for her fans.
Swift fans have since then started tweeting against the band suggesting that it has taken over a spot that belongs to her, further becoming perplexed over who Tool even is.
