I still like some Tool songs, mostly the earlier, shorter ones that were on the radio at the time.
I kinda put later Tool stuff and later Radiohead stuff in the same category, they lost focus and their stuff just kinda droned on for too long.  Both bands that started out strong around the same time then lost their touch.  For a while the music nerds kept praising them as "ground breaking" and "so artistic" but eventually people realized there really wasn't much actually going on.

Oddly Taylor Swift seems to be going through the same thing now.

Yep. I agree with this. Wasn't a big fan of any of the newer stuff with Tool and Radiohead. Once you get past maybe their third and fourth albums. It just drones out.

10,000 days is a good album though. I can appreciate Jambi and Right In Two. His two part song for his Mom are touching, but, very long. Once you hear it once or twice it's hard to go back.

As far as Swift? Never cared for her music really. I can appreciate her willingness to cross genre's, but, it's the same themes over and over again.

Albums like Red and 1989 had surprises and each track brought a different vibe. 
Her last three albums, every track sounds the same.
She was never my favorite singer but I found her stuff enjoyable and interesting for a while and now I don't.
I wouldn't say anything about it if the music critics and social media influencers were calling her out for it but they aren't.
