I don't know the difference between the singers but whatever they did on this album was the right thing

Yeah I'm still fairly new to the band. Got into them with Emperor of Sand and have backtracked a little but haven't even gotten to CtS yet.

All I know is that this thing will be hard to beat. It's so rare for a metal album, especially one composed of 15 tracks, to have virtually a 100% hit rate with no misses. This is just very, very good and hella consistent.

Gigantium is an absolute bop. Best album they've made since CtS for sure

Sowing doesn't get it. Lol. Crack the sky is quite a bit better than this.

They've been featuring Brann on songs since Blood Mountain, though... Three singers is nuts, and they are four live, since Bill takes up some vocal duties as well. Amazingly talented people...

CtS is their best album, but this is not that far tbh

This band has the greatest album art. Solid.

just listened to two singles—groove reminded me of pop but the musicianship was top-tier, even for my non-metal loving friend. they just ripped. more so than ever before possibly. also I'd say I prefer the production to previous releases of theirs. Preserves the gritty mastodon grime but also has breath and clarity throughout registers

This deserves credit at the very least for being consistently enjoyable for nearly 90 minutes. Strange bc it’s not like the most diverse album in the world but somehow didnt feel nearly that long

Brann sounds very good here, Troy is also back on form.



The Crux is such a banger, sounds like it could've come straight off Blood Mountain.

reminds me that I still need to check out their earlier stuff as well



I remember Leviathan was a good record but haven't really looked beyond that

I'd like to see Lana attempt a 90 minute album tbh, I'd be asleep after 5.

both albums are miles overlong but falling asleep to ldr is neither here nor there
with mastodon it's just debasing and i do not think i could ever make it to the end of this in one setting again unless it's video game fodder (the ideal setting for all mastodon albums)

Johnny gets it. Supposedly this is a double album. Why it's given to us as one long album is beyond me. Should have packaged it as two separate ones. I would have enjoyed it a lot more.
