You could have left out the bit about Mastodon and it would still have been a quality statement, am I right?

I must say Blood Mountain did top my expectations for the band... I thought they were gonna die out, but then they just kicked my ass, again.

as far as 2nd half of 2006 goes, yeah.
also I am listening to the new Circulus that came out today and I am rather fond of it as well. Fond in a makes-me-want-to-dress-up-in-renaissance-clothing-and-prance-around-a-field kind of way, which is a.k.a. better than all this highfalutin kiddie metal whatnots

I like Blood Mountain, it's a good record. Not my favourite of the year, nor in my all time top ten, but it's a solid record. I liked Leviathan better, I think.

It shows a great progression from their previous stuff at least. From going on what I heard of the new one, Remission > Leviathan > Blood Mountain, albeit each successive release has improved greatly on some aspects of their style while at the same time equally veering away in others which I enjoyed.
Which brings them to where they are now, and it's evolved in each direction in such a way there's too strong of a dichotomy between what I love how they've improved and what I can't stand some styles they've adopted, so .....................
In summation,
a)good for them, it sounds great
b)no thanks I'll pass

This thread reminded me I need to hear- new Mastodon, new Colour Haze, AND new Circulus goddamit. My wallet reminded me to download them

good move.
check out that colour haze ASAP
also, been listening to the new circulus all morning. It's great and it really sounds more mature of an album, I believe would be the cliched terminology. More somber and folk-rooted in style than it's pixie-praising predecessor. And the use of the mini-moog amongst it all is even better than before.

yeah new agalloch and wolves in the throne room takes the cake for me thus far. I havent heard the new mastodon, but i dont like them that much (dont hate them, leviathan was decent, but it didn't tickle my fancy for very long).

tbh it's the moby dick/sea tale whatnots and most importantly the brief use of Neil Fallon on that Leviathan disc that gets any enjoyment from me. So, cuz of Neil I only listen to Blood and Thunder and nuts to the rest.
However my Leviathan shirt is something I love to wear, I cannot deny the appeal of their cover art on any of their discs.

Agree.
Though Green Carnation's The Acoustic Verses is also high up in the list for 2006 releases.

hmmm i listened to the new insomnium. it was okay. I wish there was more actual riffage and less weedooweedoo melodies over rocky power chord chugging

Didn't like the new Insomnium much actually.
Another one competing for best of 2006 is Drudkh - Blood in Our Wells. Most excellent album.
