Not huge mastodon fan but the new album is great. Very big cracke the sky influenced but still it's own album. You guys that havent heard it yet are in for a treat.all the 9/10 10/10 reviews are well deserved.

--Sorry Gnocchi. Didn't read the entry.--



Don't be sorry. As far as blog features go it's probably some of the site's most useful source of information. I've just added another pile of releases to the bottom of the comments.

I'm a simple guy: I see "big Crack The Skye influence", I foam at the mouth with excitement

The slower moments will definitely need time to sit with me, there's a quite a few less than immediate tracks.

Need to get into this hype train asap. The singles didn't caught my attention that much so I'm hoping I'll dig this...

Strong 4,5 from me guys. I don't know if I like it more the Skye or not, but it's Top 3 Mastodon for sure. I need to give it more spins because I feel I missed many things. It's not an easy album and it's pretty long so it requieres time.

Second half is especially subtle, gotta say it kept me interested all the way through on first listen.



Like flug said, their most dense record yet.

An hour and a half of mastodonte, not an easy ride for sure.



But I'd sign they have written and produced an amazing album, their best in a while.



Edit: And I'm only halfway through.

@Slex yes man, for sure.



Like I said, very subtle and hypnotic at times.
