   • This new album is a grower, really loving it now. I'm glad it lacks the silliness of Blood Mountain save for a few of the vocal styles

   • Want to get it, but scared, as unlike some I find the newer stuff (inc Leviathan) pretty different from Remission. It's not just the songwriting/singing - the kind of slightly juvenile 'stick this bit to that bit, have a widdly dual guitar bit, then a singing bit, and dont forget to chuck in the kitchen sink'. Its also the SOUND - Remission just sounds warm whereas everything else Ive heard sounds clinical. Not being a hater, they have a lot going for them, just wish theyd be a bit more spontaneous-sounding again

     I never understood how people managed to cream themselves over Remission yet didn't seem to bother with Leviathan, just seemed strange

     
     
     Because they didn't sound like the same band?
     
     They might as well have a metronome for all the drumming that guy does these days.
     
     
     If I was feeling ultra cynical I'd say it was because people got annoyed that Mastodon was all over MH and K! and wasn't their little secret anymore.... going from creaming over a band to distancing oneself from them in the space of one album always strikes me as rather strange. [Unless there was a drop off in quality on the scale of Sepultura's Roots era].
     
     [not a personal dig by the way, just something I thought at the time and just remembered now].

   • Nah, don't mind a band getting recognition, I'd have quite happily gone on listening to them if they produced something I liked but it seemed a bit of fame changed them immesurably.

   • I love Mastodon, for me they're the best mainstream metal band kicking it at the minute by a mile,I reckon Crack The Skye is the best record they've put out as well. Personally I think the vocals on it are one of the best parts, think they've mixed the classic rock influence in brilliantly, get your Ozzy on.
     
     I'm glad they stopped sounding like Remission, it would be so dull if they were still sounding like that, same goes for Baroness on First and Second.

   • Variety is the spice of life init, I like Baroness' progress more, its more interesting to these ears.

   • Progress can be bad though, a la Queens Of The Stone Age, mind you a lot on here feel the same about Clutch

   • Clutch were great until Neil forgot to write lyrics that weren't just blues.
     
     They still kick it live though.

   • I hope Mastadon and Isis new albus both kick my arse to be honest I was so disapointed with both their last efforts. Not because oh they got big... because the albums where weak. I hope when I finally hear both new offerings I'm blown away. By bands I had high hopes for and they disapointed me.

    • Only REALLY bad thing about Mastodon, heard Zane Lowe repeatedly pronouncing their name Marstodon (as in ship's mast). I nearly ploughed into a group of pedestrians out of hate.

      I suppose a better way of describing it would have been putting the arse into mastodon.
      
      M'arse'todon?
