"Ticks and Leeches" lives on Lateralus, Tool's third album, which Volcano Entertainment released in May 2001. The writing credit is split four ways among Maynard James Keenan, Adam Jones, Justin Chancellor and Danny Carey, and the same four are on the tape: Keenan on lead vocals, Jones on guitar, Chancellor on bass and Carey on drums.
The album came together between October 2000 and January 2001 at Cello Studios in Hollywood and a cluster of North Hollywood rooms: The Lodge, The Hook and Big Empty Space. David Bottrill, back after producing Ænima, co-produced the track with the band and recorded and mixed it too, with Vince De Franco engineering. Lateralus remains the last Tool album he has produced.
