That artwork just screams, "Guys, we swear, we're still a metal band. We're so sorry."

Album Rating: 3.5

"Is this better than emperor"

yes

This is okay. I think it works because it's 4 songs of their current sound instead of a whole album to sit through.

Either way, this is pretty much the sound they have had since Round the Sun

Nice review. Though I disagree with Jaguar God being a typical closer (loved that song on emperor), especially when compared to Cold Dark Place, which I thought was one of the weaker parts of the EP.

Gonna spin this today. EoS was my first Mastodon and I loved it.

Album Rating: 2.5

this review has me intrigued to listen but I disagree with his views on the band's recent material. guess we'll find out soon enough.

I liked EOS, but this was pretty damn sweet as well.

Album Rating: 2.5

yeah they're Mastodone. I can't think of an occasion when I'd listen to this again.

Jeez Seven I thought you'd love this.

Album Rating: 4.0

personally I like this just as much as Eos

@budgie not sure what that comment is supposed to represent, but that quote is my experience as well

I think budg tries to convey that you've missed some good shit.

This shit is awesome. How many albums is it going to take for people to realize they're not going back to insanely riffy progressive sludge?

Album Rating: 3.5

so are these essentially b-sides or was this recorded with the intention of being an EP?

B-sides it would seem.

Which is funny cause most of it shits on some of the songs of the albums they were cut from.

If true.
