Album Rating: 4.5

Exactly man! I'm halfway through the second spin and I'm feeling it closer to a 4,5 than a 4 though... The solo and outro on Roots Remain give the shivers.

I know it's to early but this might be third best Mastodon record for me, behind CtS and Leviathan in that respective order.

First four are all better imo. But this is hella better than the hunter and omrts

"Words of the Wise" is my least favorite song off the album.

Album Rating: 3.5

'least favorite' are definitely the key words, because all of these songs are really good

Album Rating: 4.5

I haven't identified a weak track here. There are better ones than others imho, but not weak.

By "least favorite" I mean it really sucks, but yeah, "worst" was the better description.



Most of these tracks are really great, especially the back half of the album, but there were a few things holding it back from a 4 like: awful vocals here and there, some repetitiveness, and "Show Yourself" was so poorly plodded on the tracklist. Love the steady progression the band is going through since The Hunter though.

cant agree with you on Word to the Wise dude

Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound Off

It just feels like such a "nothing" song. At least "Show Yourself" was something, but I feel like I've heard all of that song on other parts of the album, and the vocal structure is too familiar with the earlier songs in the tracklist.

Album Rating: 4.5

Word of the Wise is great! Agreed with Show Yourself being "poorly plodded on the tracklist".

Album Rating: 3.5

Word to the Wise has a pretty good chorus imo and i like how the song stops and abruptly starts again about 3/4 of the way through......plus, the solo is damn fine as well

Yeah, I had no clue what they were thinking with that. Should've made it a B-side or something much more useful like that instead.

Album Rating: 3.0

Show Yourself was obviously uninspired as fuck. They just wanted to write a radio friendly song.

Album Rating: 2.0

Yeah Show Yourself is hot garbage tbh. Only thing that discourages me from listening to this. But after see all the praise I'm def intrigued

Album Rating: 4.5

That riff on Scorpion Breath tho

Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound Off

It's definitely there for airplay. It's even more frustrating that it's the only song with an official music video as of now.
