Controversial opinions on metal

The first four albums are great, the fifth was OK, the sixth was mediocre and the seventh looks to be even more underwhelming.

Seriously though, I don't know what's up with Brent's sudden habit of hipsterdom.

I've literally been listening to Mastodon for years and I never actually knew that guys name. TBH, I wish it stayed that way.

I also kinda wish Mastodon called it quits after Crack the Skye because that album was magic and everything after has been a mix of occasionally good and poop.

Yep. Literally could have had a flawless and varied discography had they quit then but NOOOO. They had to continue.
 
As people get older they become more based, so he's probably felt this way forever but didn't have the balls/knew it'd be bad for business to say this drivel. They also have a huge audience now so no fear of wrecking one's career with inane views.

Conformicide is a good Havok album. It works best as a full album not individual songs.

I wasn't even planning on getting it, but had forgotten I kickstarted the album sometime last year, it came in the mail a fews days ago signed by the band. Played it on the way to the Havok show and it kicked ass.

Fantastic lyrics honestly if you're an anti-authoritarian centrist like me.

I haven't heard it but I read the lyrics to a few songs since they were getting so much shit, and it appears well deserved as far as I can tell. Give an example of a song with fantastic lyrics.
