The intro to the beast is just lovely, I can just sit there and bathe in its splendour. Rest of the song is good but I just wish the intro's strength carried through

“Mastodon takes another jaunt, ‘round the sun, to the mountain before cracking the skye.”

Please report to the nearest veterinary clinic for immediate euthanization.

Come round on this - think it might be their 2nd best now even.



Slightly below Blood Mountain, slightly above Leviathan

'slightly above Leviathan'



...and Doof's desperately fragile credibility in the metal-verse just evaporated. He should've taken extra care considering these likely disastrous consequences.

Leviathan not a perfect album for me.



Most people rate the slightly ponderous Sabbath worship of Crack the Skye higher than that one so go easy on me.



Anyway a whole 2% split my three top Mastodon albums on my AOTY account so there’s not much in it.

Album could have cut Savage / Gobblers maybe is my biggest criticism, they’re not amazing

I think 'most people' might be an exaggeration there Doofy.

The mainstream take seems to be Leviathan or Crack the Skye is their best



Crack has the highest rating on RYM actually, bit surprised



Maybe because it was more Tool/Sabbath in places



This is surprisingly good for a metal double album anyway

I've been dipping into their back catalogue since this dropped but nothing is clicking as much as this.

Ok, for Aqua Dementia and Hearts Alive I’d maybe put Leviathan above this but…this is so close and this late in the game that’s impressive



Blood Mountain seems the perfect balance of the albums before and after it, gotta be the peak. Cysquatch their best fast song, Giant their best slow song…it’s their best album.
