....tremendous The Hunter (Mastodon album)

[Chromatose]

I'm really diggin' this bonus track

Today I have the Dry Bone Valley chorus playing over and over in my head - it is firmly stuck!

"I wish that I was still there - I want to keep on breathing"

The vocal melody is great and so is the riff behind it!

 

[Altitudes]

Every song on this album is amazing, except maybe Curl of the Burl. Stand-out tracks for me are Stargasm, Octopus Has No Friends, Dry Bone Valley, and Spectrelight. I've been listening to this album non-stop, I just love mastodon

 

[rebirth]

Stargasm, yes very catchy.l

 

[azal]

Blasteroid kind of reminds me of some Devy material.

I dig it.

this song reminded me of a combination of torche, foo fighters and cave in. probably my favorite track on the album.

even though the album is great, it's probably their worst for me, but I love pretty much every mastodon album since remission.

I'd probably rank them

remission
blood mountain
crack the skye
leviathan
the hunter

I'm really digging the guitar solo on "The Sparrow" - it has a bit of a Pink Floyd feel with some great composition and feel. I also like the lead tone - you can just hear the tubes from the amp all heated up and producing that great sustain.....no supershred or tricky scales - just great music.

I hear an AIC influence on "Thickening" that I like too....having 3 guys that can sing really gives this cd a lot of variety and I'm still playing it every day without getting tired of it.

went to the Mastodon/Dillinger Escape Plan/Red Fang show tonight, and it was pretty fuckin unruly, with especially excellent sets from Red Fang and Mastodon. lots of stuff from the Hunter, Leviathan, and Blood Mountain, a few from Remission, and i think none from Crack the Skye? not sure, super baked and many beers this evening, best way to spend a wednesday!

dont miss this tour
