Indeed. Forums these days.
Hell, I dig all of Mastodon's albums equally. I can only wonder what music they will write for the "Jonah Hex" movie.
It was in metal hammer magazine. As far as I know the article is only in that magazine, but I did find a little exerpt.
The whole story is my metaphor for if Id been able to come in and pick her up and save her from that situation, so yeah its a sad thing but I dont want it to be this pity party for me. Everybody experiences loss. At some point in your life you will lose someone near and dear to you and Im lucky enough to have some kind of artistic platform to immortalise it, to have some kind of tribute. We owe it as artists to come from the deepest place possible; thats art.

well compared to all their previous work it just felt like a big fat musicianfest
it's a very impressive album to listen to, but it doesnt really make me feel anything and therein lies the root of the problem
thats why i dig crack the skye and have some respect for them again. managed to ease up on the prog for long enough to actually deliver a big ol plate of emotion.

Dodo, you little tosser - chill out. Read my post again, tongue was firmly in cheek and the whole first paragraph reeked of sarcasm . Stop acting like a little 17 year old girl, no need for a direct attack, I'd happily say what I posted to your face, can you say the same about what you said.
Seriously mate, its just a sign of immaturity to fly off on one like that and take offense at any passing comment, so grow up a bit mate. Be subjective like I was - give an opinion - don't be an utter cock and attack me. I think what I've said is reasonable - I don't want to argue with you. In fact, if I had acted like you had, I'd probably just swallow my pride and just say sorry.
Sorry to take this off topic.

I think the production is only good for this band because it has a vibe about it, very lively natural drums, slightly muddy guitars, very vintage warm sounding vocals. It fits the band so well because the production fits the vibe, just on its own, or without a band as incredible as mastodon, it would be merely very good. All my opinion of course.

^Yeh, if Megadeth had gone for the mastodon vibe...it almost certainly wouldn't have suited that album as much as what Andy did. I think I'm a bit biased because my own band is very prog in places and I've also grown a little bit tired of 5150s tearing new arseholes with their heavy tones and snares and kicks so brutal your face implodes. Obviously still appreciate that shit but I'm just feeling hippy vibes recently

I hate the singers voice so much that the band doesn't really do much for me, and never has. The songs don't do much for me either.
I will admit though after hearing this album the production is pretty cool, but that is where the praise ends for me.
