Album goes hard and rules but compared with their next three it’s derivative. They evolved and established their uniqueness on subsequent releases. Blood Mountain is the peak.

What’s derivative about it? Can’t think of any bands in 2002 combining sludge and prog at this level

I don’t feel prog is a big slice of the Remission pie chart. Converge, Cave In (debut), and Botch come to mind.

True, but Trainwreck and Trilobite aren't exactly verse-chorus. They weren't Capillarian Cresting yet but this is plenty dynamic and unpredictable.

The only other bands that I can think of that were combining sludge and prog so successfully back then were Neurosis and Isis. And even then, they were more like post-metal with prog elements (though with that said, Souls at Zero and Enemy of the Sun actually had quite a few prog metal sections compared to later Neurosis albums)

@sevengill Yup.
“… but compared with their next three…”
That part of my sentence is being ignored. Remission is hot. Band is legend.

just derivative was a weird term to use. 15 or 16 years later still havent really heard any record that scratches that specific itch the way trainwreck, trilobite, elephant man do

There’s definitely residual Today Is the Day influence too but for sure they made a fairly unique sound

considering Brann's mutual involvement that certainly makes sense

Same. Where Strides the Behemoth is an eternal caveman banger. That gallop at the end could’ve gone on for another bar or two but fuck it just play the track again.

The ending of Burning Man is still one of the most badass riffs Mastodon have ever come up with

I can't overcome how insane Brann is, in all honesty

Elephant Man is so good and it reminds of Nights in White Satin from The Moody Blues, in a good way (:
