OMRTS is when they started to lose that hunger. But at least they sounded like they were still having fun and taking a piss. This just sounds tired.

I'm not a Mastodon aficionado, I had only really known Blood Mountain before I decided to check this one (and now I actually dig everything) so maybe I don't ~get~ it but I don't understand the negative reception for this album at all. I find a lot of meat here, and an interesting balance between a song like Show Yourself and heavy cuts like Scorpion Breath and Andromeda

Andromeda is a top-tier Masto track, honestly.

I'm pretty sure I hate The Hunter more than it deserves because it's when my favorite band became predictable and boring and that really hurt

The Hunter bores me to tears ;(

Maybe I'll spin it again today but I don't remember it being very remarkable. Also agree with Sabrutin's comment

Idk about calling this predictable after the two that came before. I could almost understand "boring" more, honestly.



"Nice av Sab, btw"

Thanks, I stole it from a friend

Hard. When a band guts their sound and mythos for a more streamlined, 'fun' style, boringness is inexcusable. You sacrifice all the nuance for cheap thrills and it ain't even thrillin', I mean what the hell are we left with

I like this one...but what made my high rating was to acknowledge how personal this was for the band and therefore i found the lyrics pretty intense. The cancer subject and the band members walk-through made me pay more attention to it. I can understand your points of view though.

The previous two albums relate to this sentence a lot more than this one imo. Idk sometimes it feels like the detractors received a copy with Show Yourself 11 times. Whatevs, I'll accept to be in the Sputnik minority that digs this hard lel
