not surprised you dig this tho boring rock is sowingcore forsure

I hardly listen to much straight-up rock; if anything it's more indie/folk/experimental. I was merely pointing out the hyperbole of comparing a slightly poppier Mastodon album to the worst of a genre that isn't even related. If anything you might feel like you're listening to A7X or something not that that comparison is much better but at least you could point to the intro to Jaguar God and talk about how he sounds so much like Shadows in the slower portion of the intro.

Album Rating: 2.0

havent heard remissions plebby ill check it though if it's in that vein



sowing yeah this kind of reminds me of a7x but even though at their "most metal" or whatever they were still a bit poppy, an album like waking the fallen kicks this albums ass 100% imo. find something on here that even compares to you won't see me tonight 1 and 2



(and yeah ps a7x at their most poppy is also cringeworthy and equally as disappointing given both they and mastodon are clearly capable of making some legit music)

Album Rating: 4.0

oh man Remission is awesome, definitely check that out

Album Rating: 4.0

Waking the Fallen rocks hard but I'd still give this the edge because I think Mastodon has more skill (mind you, this is my first Mastodon album). Regardless, I have that record at a 4 so to me they're both superb records.

chuck duuuude, Remission is even rawer than Leviathan! Ruthless record.

"That live performance of Mother Puncher where Troy is going ham is the best they've ever been live."



Can't argue with that, immense performance.

It's an important point for sure, but also one that I've made clear at every turn of this thread. This album definitely has me listening to more metal though, which is something that hasn't happened in at least 3 or 4 years.

Album Rating: 2.5

honestly you should probably check crack the skye rather than remission next, it's the closest in sound to this while still being a quality album

Album Rating: 4.0

yeah sowing should definitely listen to crack the skye next, but chuck should hear remission

Album Rating: 2.0

only two songs into remission and i think i might end up liking it more than leviathan, or it's close anyway, good rec



ive heard crack the skye its okay

I liked all their stuff up until the borefest that was The Hunter.

Album Rating: 4.0

CTS is next on my list but will prob wait a few months...there's enough quality new releases to keep up with and I want to digest EoS first

Album Rating: 4.0

anyway the best songs here are Roots Remain, Jaguar God, and Words to the Wise

Album Rating: 4.0

remission brings the riffs. also hearing workhorse made me immediately fall in love with the band. those drums

Album Rating: 4.0
