According to a recent Blabbermouth post, Maynard shouldn’t necessarily be blamed for the lack of Tool action:

\"I can’t sit still, so when those guys hesitate, it takes us so long to do stuff, and it’s like a snake eating its own tail situation, ’cause then I get distracted and I go off and do a thing, and then I get blamed for not being around to do the (TOOL) thing,\" he said. \"But nothing was getting done when I was standing there, so I got bored and left. It’s just an endless cycle.\"

Sounds fair to me. It’s been pretty clear that Tool is a team effort for a long while, and singling out any one member for a lack of a new album is a little harsh…
