Yeah, yeah. 
So, who should I believe on this CD? First person to sell the idea of this CD on me wins...something. Postitive rep? I dunno, whatever prize I can give you...a guarantee that I won't lock your next thread no matter how abysmally shitty it is?

If you listen to the cd, your Grandmother will come to your bed when you're sleeping, chain you down, and fuck you all week long.

I haven't heard any Mastodon since Remission (which I sold off to some idiot on ebay), but I just checked out that video of Capillarian Crest
I can see how someone who listened to just the beginning of the song would write it off, but I thought there was a lot more to it than that. The clean(er?) vocals were pretty decent, and I thought the vibe was pretty good. I suck at describing things that I've only heard once, but I liked this song. I guess I may be sold on the album.

Someone in the rec thread asked if they were any good to which I answered:
"Very, very, very good but to be avoided if you're mostly into traditional sounding black/death/thrash metal as they're very modern in their approch and have increasing amounts of hardcore, prog and hard rock influence on their albums (with Remission having some and Blood Mountain having LOADS). I love love love Remission with a fiery passion because it is just the most emotionaly crushing and yet utterly rocking album ever, so start there. Leviathan is far slicker (but not in a bad way, negative though that often is) and less intense but might have better songwriting in places. Its also where they start to get pretty catchy and reveal that they have a great collective ear for unusual, Faith No More style melodies which are fully expanded and explored on Blood Mountain. I only got it a couple of days ago but so far its shaping up to be just as good if not better than Leviathan with every song being different, creative and containing at least one total WTF moment. Single songs don't do it justice."
I now can definitively say that Blood Mountain is the kind of album where every song hits you straight away and improves with repeat listens, it balances wonderfully between the total meltdown of having too many ideas rolling up against one another and the formulaic approach of smply writing sublime heavy metal songs (either of which they could easily do) which gives it a quality few metal albums capture, of being creatively diverse and entirely focused.

I thought they just signed to a major label? What a pathetic video. Their old ones were way better. This seems like it was edited by a 12-year-old. Especially with the frames of the album cover spliced into it.
I like the song though. I still need to check out the new album sometime.

Blood Mountain is a big step back from Leviathan. It gravitates back toward sounding like Remission or older stuff they've done, which sounds like noise jumbled together.

It is indeed powerful, but it seems like Leviathan has a lot more well-written songs in it.
my favorite song by mastodon is "where strides the behemoth"
but my favorite album is the new one - Brann Dailor just goes nuts in this CD -he's top 3 best drummers I have heard so far (though I'm a noob)

I will buy this fairly soon, as I liked the previous albums quite a bit. I want the one with the DVD. There are some clips on their website which are pretty humorous. There's also a lot of footage of the drumming, so even better.

surprised at the response this thread is getting
I was expecting a whole bunch of "hey you fucking pussy stop listening to pussy mainstream MALLCORE metal"
why dont you listen to REAL metal *insert some obscure band with a ridiculous sounding name*

It probably sounds like noise when the listener is not accustomed to the style of music. Like once I played a Bloodbath song for an awesome neoclassical/shred/oldschool metal guitarist at my school and he told me it was noise. Not true. Neither is what you're saying here, and I just heard one song off this thing. Sounded pretty clear & structured to me.
