Mastodon

[Revell]

Wish I could catch them on tour. Waiting in great anticipation for the new DVD, whenever the hell it's going to be released.

I've been listening to the first two records on a steady basis recently. Great stuff. I still can't dig Blood Mountan or Crack the Skye though.

 

[siobhan!]

Mastodon live are fucking superb. CtS is just beyond incredible live.

 

[Keenan]

Seeing this topic made me wanna listen to them.

Now playing : Blood and Thunder

You cant dig CTS? Blood Mountain is fairly understandable as its more 'boring' (tho I really enjoy it), but CTS... its really close to Leviathan for me.

 

[Chipmonkcheeks]

Only listened to the first 2 tracks on CTS doesn't grab me really. Haven't listened to any other Mastodon though.

Blood Mountain was the weakest i supose. But i still love it. Mastodon are in the top 5 favourite bands for me and pretty much always have been.

Crack The Skye is mind blowing. I bought that album and put it on in my car and drove about country lanes listening to it and it was so enjoyable... Ahh i miss last summer. I'll be doing the same this year but probably with the Jonah Hex soundtrack blasting

Lifesblood (Or the reissue Call of the Mastodon) is still a personal favourite of mine for the band.

 

[evilematt]

crack the skye will go down as a classic album, in years to come when they talk about "classic" albums, that will be up at the top.

 

[Covet Chaos]

Maybe they'll top it one day? Got a new Mastodon out soon anyway... Well a soundtrack. But they've done the whole soundtrack to Jonah Hex. Bring on Megan Fox and Mastodon! Can't wait to buy the soundtrack for it.

 

[Covet Chaos]

Oh and if nobody has this album, get it.

CC, THANK YOU. That is fucking fantastic, I love people who do that sort of thing, so interesting.

 

[Covet Chaos]

You knows it. The one on the amazon link is good but just doesnt match The Taste of Chaos Ensemble. PERFECT cover album. It's things like that, that show how amazing Mastodon are too.

 

[Revell]

That's awesome man, cheers for posting! I'm also really interested to see what they do with the Jonah Hex soundtrack.

Mastodon are the band of this generation as far as I'm concerned. Actually they're one of my favourite bands of all time. I agree with Crack the Skye being looked back upon as a classic along the lines of Master of Puppets, no doubt.

*Insert more Mastodon worship here*

Sadly, the first 2 records are not available on spotify, so I can't really check them out.

Have checked out Blood Mountain and was not impessed. But that was 4 months ago and my taste changes fast Should give it another go soon...

Youtube?

The first time I heard them was when I heard Blood Mountain and I initially had the same reaction as you. I'd say Blood Mountain is their weakest, but it's still a good album once you get Mastodon and what they're about. Try Crack the Skye, it's absolutely flawless.

 

[Keenan]

Colony of Birchmen contains one of my favorite riffs ever.

This. I heard Mastodon when Remission came out. So back then it was even stranger to me because I was pretty young. And that album is just insane! I couldn't get over how good the drumming was back then haha.

Then again, this is a good start:

And indeed! Remission is insane. Brann is one of my absolute favourite drummers. Awesome guys, the lot of them. I may spontaneously combust in anticipation for the Jonah Hex score/2005 - 2010 DVD/next album. Arrgghhhh!!
