I just listened to this again for the first time in years. I'm bumping it to a 5. It's fucking amazing.

Brann Dailor:
This is another one I wrote when I was in that apartment. I call it the Sadness Hole. I don’t want to get into why I was there, but just to be clear, I wasn’t strung out on drugs or anything like that. It was a personal time. But the last riff really sounded like the end of something. It’s sad-sounding, but there’s also some hope there. So we put some string arrangements on it and Brent did this really beautiful guitar solo. The last line is for Nick John: ‘The mountains we made in the distance will be with us forever.’ I think it’s a beautiful farewell.

me, ages 16-21. also ages 22-35, but with less of a stranglehold on my music taste. man it's weird to think about getting into Mastodon post-Brent.

This is certainly a case of me kicking myself for not enjoying a band for a longer time... I've known about them since Need For Speed Most Wanted 2005 .. only really listening this year so far...

well, at least you still have 3, 4 top-shelf records to dig your teeth in
they're still fun live but clearly they aren't young any more

Indeed, I've gone all the way back to leviathan and I love pretty much all of it. Can't think of a band with 3 prominent vocalists that are all great. Brann's drums are so iconic and the fact that he sings too is just crazy. Brent's voice and folksy guitar flair are epic. I genuinely love this band

you can go back to Remission if you like it spicy!
also check out the Cold Dark Place EP as that's mostly Brent. His last hurrah alongside Jaguar God off EoS and The Beast off H&G

The only reason I am not 5 this is that it didn't have an immediate immense impact on my childhood years. Otherwise, this one is a classic.
