Album Rating: 4.5

I don't give a shit what anyone says, this album is fucking fun. and for the record, I did not like Blood Mountain or Crack the Skye all that much -- but for fuck's sake, if you don't dig Curl of the Burl then I'm not sure we could be drinking buddies.

I mean Stargasm is an epic metal song, not sludge or metalcore or any other fucking subgenre, straight up metal. and it's awesome.

BM destroys this imo.

Although few will back me up on that.

Actually veigh, I agree for the most part on that. That's the reason why I'm not big on CtS. I do love BM more than most seem to on this site tho.

Inbred is the user I most tend to agree with when it comes to Mast.

hmh

Btw, I was referring to this bit in my previous post:

I just think Mastodon are at their best when they focus on sludge with a tinge of prog

this got way too much flak but isn't their best by any means

Album Rating: 4.5

@danny: yes, I agree that Blood Mountain is much better than CtS. I have a weird relationship with BM, I loved it when it came out, then I hated it for a long time. But it's been slowly growing on me since then. It's weird, it's the only Mastodon album that I think is best enjoyed when listening to individual songs rather than the entire album straight through. It's odd considering it's progressive nature, but I think as a whole it's just too much to absorb in one listen to make it enjoyable in that format. At least when it comes to this band (other bands that do prog/sludge, like Neurosis, are always best enjoyed in album format).

"It's odd considering it's progressive nature, but I think as a whole it's just too much to absorb in one listen to make it

that's an interesting statement Inveigh, esp considering you don't seem to have a problem jamming an entire Neurosis album

in one sitting. For me its the opposite, I can count on one hand the times I've listened to a Neurosis album all at once, while

with Mastodon (specifically on BM) if I hear one song it just makes me want to continue the album from that point on, or start

it from the top.



That's not to say I like Mastodon more than Neurosis, I find the latter to be far more rewarding in many ways, just sayin I dig

the flow on the earlier Mastodon albums, esp BM.

pots' review for blood mountain though

Album Rating: 2.5

still haven't seen it, and I've got a lot of respect for Potsss ....



I'd be interested to read it, but damn do I still love me some BM.

Heh, just sold all my Mastodon albums today.

m/

that's because pots left for a while and the review was taken down but it's like a description of a really vulgar forest ritual where like the blood mountain god cuts off the dicks of innocent bystanders while the bystander is surrounded by piss-laden turkeys who dance around him like those demon things in fantasia, and then bystander leaves with a gaping dickless wound and then he smokes shrooms and then a bear fucks the guy in the skull

lol
