Lots of reasons. The production and composition on a Tool album is a heck of a lot more complicated than on an average pop record. Maynard does all kinds of side projects, so that probably doesn't help. They're also a mature group with an established following, so I don't think they feel any pressure to rush albums out of the door.

Both bands are "people" bands. Meaning that they enjoy more the touring aspects than the album-releasing hype aspects of being in a band. Most bands make 1 album, and 1 tour, then another album, and then another tour and so on. Bands such as Tool, Metallica, and other bands of the same genre tend to tour for a longer time or even have several tours between albums.
For example, technically speaking, Metallica has had 4 different tours between their last album and their next (Summer Sanitarium 03, Madly in Anger With the World Tour 04, Escape From The Studio 06 and soon to come Sick Of The Studio 07). Tool has had similar engagements.
And it's always been like this for Metallica. For example, they had 3 different tours between the Black Album and Load (not to mention that the first of those tours lasted for almost 2 years!)

Tool seems to pick their time and place to release albums. and bless them too.
The last album was a departure from the choice to voice religion, it attacked the lack of compassion the Bush administration has for our children. that could take a long time to right with compassion.
Metallica was incredible (my favourite is still and justice for all) and the black album and several after ward were viewed by their fans as pop. I loved the "Black album" and liked "Load' but subsequently "re-load" and "S&M" were not felt out well. I liked both very much, so they released "St Anger" which is an incredible album back to the roots of "Killem all".
Tool I think are a great thining man's Metallica are the great band in a vain of Pink Floyd...Thinking of a story sell a felling ( not the wall, listen to "the Final Cut")...
NIN are a certain passion and I still think "The fragile" is the best album NIN ever did...new one concept..cannot wait..out today oh yeah I have to go!!!
Tool...(See "lateralus") create such a great sound and think sooooooo much about what the piont is, I wait in baded breath to hear what is next.
wait it is always worth it...

I am not sure, but I think Tool broke up. Check out the band "A Perfect Circle". I am not sure which former Tool members are in it, but they sound very similar.

⥠MAYNARD JAMES KEENAN.
But, he is lead singer/writer for 'A Perfect Circle' and 'Puscifer' and does alot of work for soundtracks, etc. Plus, he has his own winery now, in Arizona.

maybe that is one of the reasons......or maybe it is because music is difficult to write then add the chorus and the music parts all together in one album to please their listeners ears
