Pandan post-Ænima lakun Zouti a fè fas ak pwoblèm legal yo, Keenan te kòmanse travay ak Billy Howerdel, Teknoloji gita Zouti a atravè Ænima vwayaj la, sou yon pwojè diferan. Supergroup a yo te fòme, Yon sèk pafè, te kòmanse fè nan 1999 ak lage premye album li yo Mer non de nan 2000. Yo te lage yon siksè swiv-up nan 2003 ki gen tit trèzyèm Etap, yon referans a douz-etap pwogram (anpil nan chan ki nan te ekri nan pèspektiv nan rekiperasyon). Tou de albòm te evantyèlman sètifye platinum. Yo ki vin apre 2004 album, Sansibl, te konpoze sitou nan kouvèti, except for the singles Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums"—a song inspired by "Pet" that was originally released on Thirteenth Step—and "Passive". Keenan later characterized the record as a political album with which he "tested the waters" and was subsequently "crucified" pou li paske yo te kontni an. Li te sètifye lò mwa ki vini apre lage li yo ki. Se menm ane yo lage DVD a ak CD mete gen dwa Amotion, ki te sètifye platinum nan espas yon mwa nan lage li yo ki.

During Tool’s post-Ænima hiatus to deal with their legal issues, Keenan began working with Billy Howerdel, Tool’s guitar tech through the Ænima tour, on a different project. The supergroup they formed, A Perfect Circle, began performing in 1999 and released its first album Mer de Noms in 2000. They released a successful follow-up in 2003 titled Thirteenth Step, a reference to twelve-step programs (many of the songs were written from the perspective of recovery). Both albums were eventually certified platinum. Their subsequent 2004 album, Emotive, was primarily composed of covers, except for the singles Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums"—a song inspired by "Pet" that was originally released on Thirteenth Step—and "Passive". Keenan later characterized the record as a political album with which he "tested the waters" and was subsequently "crucified" for it because of the content. It was certified gold the month after its release. That same year they released the DVD and CD set entitled Amotion, which was certified platinum within a month of its release.
