Tool's Ænima at 30: the vinyl remaster Danny Carey said was done in 2024 still isn't out
Ænima turns 30 on September 17. The band remastered it, the drummer heard it on vinyl, Maynard’s wife keeps a test pressing at home. You cannot buy it. If that feels familiar, you have been a Tool fan for a while.
The record came out on vinyl first
The birthday everyone is counting toward is a vinyl birthday. Tool released Ænima as a double LP on September 17, 1996, and the CD followed two weeks later, on October 1 (Discogs; theprp, 26 Nov 2025).
