Mastodon had a big chance on mainstream success with this record.

Its one of the best rock albums of the decade.

BUT they suck live and will not make any new fans when playing at festivals or openning for older bands.

Also, the established fan base hates the album. So, no wonder they hired the CyS producer back.... but they still suck live (Brann s to blame, obviously)

@sevengill it debuted at #6, they got lots of gigs, but they don't deliver it Live. New album debuted lower.

Like I said, they had a mainstream shot, but the band cannot perform a stadium gig

The openers on their last 3 albums have all been clear standouts

Holy balls. Finally, Diamond in the Witch House live, w/ Scott Kelly.

After watching a few of their performances with Scott they did last year, it's basically essential for him to become part of the band at this point.
