new mastodon?

[dorian gray]

I found myself singing "Curl of the Burl" at work yesterday......and I can't get enough of "The Sparrow"
Crack the Skye it's not...but it's got some good stuff

 

[dorian gray]

All my favorite bands released albums this year and all have sucked or nearly sucked.

 

[swizzlenuts]

Curl of the Burl really really grows on you. I'm listening to the album now, and I think it's pretty good.

 

[dorian gray]

any song that's about the killing of a goat is ok with me

 

[lurch70]

Curl the Burl sounds like a song about grooming your privates.

 

[dorian gray]

That's fine with me too

 

[Agalloch]

I'm glad all you guys are coming around on this. Great album!

 

[Reign in Acai]

A little "wimpy" for me at this precise moment in time, but has room to grow if I ever take a gander at the album as a whole.

I listened to Hunter after not listening to it for a while. it's okay, but gets a little tedious.

The song new seems okay. I"ll probably buy it.

[Krilons Resa]

So how is the new one? It's been streaming and just leaked as well. Any good?

The last one was atrocious.

Mastodon lost me after Leviathan, and I don't see giving any fucks about the new one.

ive never seen what is so interesting about this band. fuck em

 

[Krilons Resa]

Remission ruled.

im not usually one to hate a band because their vocalist. hell, i dig graveland a lot, some cathedral.....

in mastodons case i couldnt help it. their vocalist is pure shit. the music wasnt much better

 

[General Zod]

The vocals have always been the weakest part of this band. Personally, I think they're a good band who is vastly overrated.

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

The drummer should just do all of the singing.

 

[NAD]

wtf is this crap?! Drummer's vocals are nice I suppose.

I skipped several of their albums, but noticed they became a massive band. I was actually a little proud of humanity, because while I've never been a huge Mastodon fan, I did appreciate the fact that obviously they spent some time putting together their riffs, and anytime a weird time signature makes it into a Radio Hit that's progress I can get behind. I finally heard a chunk of this album and realized that no, they are now popular because they make pop/rock with bootyshake videos. Well done, lads!

[dorian gray]

Didn't buy this or new Opeth album. Two of my favorite bands in which I no longer have any interest

New Mastodon album is phenomenal. Yes... their sound has evolved a great deal, but this is some excellent songwriting. Going to see Mastodon, Gojira and Kvelertak.
