Mastodon - Crack the Skye (entire album) streamed on their myspace

[xFkx]

Alright, i'm getting psycho about this album, I forsee a great comeback of music in... music.

 

[cyborg]

New songs are killer. I really like the direction they took on this album.

I find the production very refreshing to the ears compared to most of the super polished/perfect sounding metal mixes these days. I will definitely be picking up this CD when it's out. Fantastic artwork and presentation as well by the looks of it...

..and at 6:00 on 'the Last Baron' I thought they were going to start playing 'YYZ' by Rush.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Yep still can't stand this bands vocalist. I should change my moniker from "I love boobs!" to "resident Mastodon hater!"

 

[Exocaster]

I really like this record. I'm not a huge fan of their earlier stuff that everyone raves about, to be honest; not really the sort of metal I'm a fan of. But this and Blood Mountain I can get into. I prefer them as a weird prog band to all-out heavy.

 

[Chryst Krispies]

I still think Leviathan is their best.

I. It seems to be a thin print though, the shirt is very lightweight too so I tend not to wear it as much as my other shirts just to make sure it stays good looking

I think those lighter shirts are awesome, cause they make me look HUGE. I swear I could pass for 230. Hhaha.

 

[Machinated]

really loving the album, given them plenty of myspace plays - can't wait to buy the album tomorrow

 

[Joematthews]

I still think Leviathan is their best.

Yeah, I love everything about leviathan

Joe

 

[kaomao]

Yeah I love this as well.
I tell ya I wasn't a big fan of their old produtions! but this rocks absolutely.
I don't find it boring! great melodies!

 

[MetalJonesy]

just bought it today, its great! cant wait to watch the dvd making of too!

 

[mr.L.]

I'm kinda dissapointed by the album had expected something different. I loved Remission and blood mountain but this has too little edge to keep me interested.

 

[JoshSylosis]

I think it's the best thing they've done and gets better with every listen

Especially appreciated it even more after watching the dvd too

Album of 2009

 

[Felix Neumann]

The leads on "oblivion" are very, very nice sounding. I´m impressed!

 

[Machinated]

really loving this album

they really smashed it on this - I love the amount of depth in their sound now. I'm not sure I prefer the drum sounds as much as the last few releases, but its not really bothering me much either as the album is so fucking good.

 

[roy22341]

Well, its better than Chimaira's new album. I have high hopes for new Isis.


And La Coka Nostra

 

[sparkyness]

They streamed their live performance from a record store in Atlanta for the release of the album yesterday. It was still on their site last night when I checked - worth a look to hear the new material live.

 

[Chryst Krispies]

And La Coka Nostra

Whoa???

Didn't expect to see another LCN fan on here.

 

[MetalJonesy]

wow, can't stop listening to this album, the 10 and 13 min songs dont feel like it, really well written and it sounds soo niceee and natural!
