[Hell Awaits Us All]

The intro to Battle Magic literally sounds like something from Final Fantasy Tactics, during one of the earlier, grassy levels. My GOD, what an awesome intro.

Yeah. 'tis epic as fuck.

Deicide-The Stench of Redemption
Emperor-In The Nightside Eclipse
Nile-Annihilation of The Wicked
Morbid Angel-Covenant, though I feel that Nar Msttaru being placed in a weird slot next to the last song, still a great album.

Where strides is a killer song along w/ the new track they just made a video for, but Im struggling to get into them. Gimme some highlight songs off of Blood Mountain and Ill give it another spin.

The songwriting fucking sucks. Even the band admits it. I listen to Mastodon for the songwriting.

[Hell Awaits Us All]

jeez man, there is alot more to mastodon than catchy, straight-forward crowd - pleasers like "iron tusk"

do you only like music that gives you instant gratification?

I tend to judge after I fully listen to something...not just some cockmunch who has the "fuck that, this sucks" mantality right away. These guys have to grow on you thats 4 sure. I really dont understand these buttfucks who keep on saying "if you like Opeth...you'll LOVE Mastodon!" Doesnt make a lick of sense. Its Like comparing an asshole to a snatch

Are you speaking to me? I never gave you permission to do that.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

no

 

[hibernal_dream]

Iron Tusk is just about the only good thing about Mastodon

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

one of their weakest songs IMO, way too simplistic/straight - forward

 

[Hatebreeder]

one of their weakest songs IMO, way too simplistic/straight - forward

There's nothing wrong with that, songs don't have to be complex and cycle through several keys to be interesting; i.e. Immortal's "Battles in the North", which is pretty much one long song with about six different riff cycles and about two or three tempo changes. Fucking awesome album, though.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Thanks for all of your posts so far everyone.

Nile-Annhilation of the wicked.this album is quite perfect balance of all of niles key elements, i think.Dimmu Borigr, Stormblast. nuff' said.haha fuck man there is alot of good stuff around, thats why i hate these kind of threads! jk btw, but an emperor album is probably up there on my list too, and necrophagist epitaph

 

[Killbot]

That's exactly why it's one of their best. All out catchy, crushing metal. Brilliant.

Same thing w/ Immortal's-tyrants...simple yet crushing track
