Assemblage: Emperor of Sand Ranked

kalkwiese 04.28.18	7 is 12 easily. Everything else is pretty solid, great record
Assemblage 04.29.18	Yeah, I was surprised it's been one year after this release so it was sorta the inspiration for the list.
polyrhythm 04.29.18	Sultan's Curse is good, that's about it for me. There's a trend of new Mastodon albums having great openers but being weak af overall.
Mythodea 04.29.18	11 should be wayyyy higher. That goes for Andromeda, too. But the album is just amazing, so it was bound to be difficult to rank.
Deathconscious 04.29.18	Andromeda is the best track on the album, and Show Yourself being anything but last is objectively incorrect.
Demon of the Fall 04.29.18	I can’t remember much about this, think Jaguar God was ok from memory. One thing I do know is Show Yourself is awful.
polyrhythm 04.29.18	Something we can all agree on
Assemblage 04.29.18	Yeah I get people don't like Show Yourself but to me it's not as bad as, say, The Motherload which I actively skip- all the time. I thought there would be more of an outcry about the upper picks but it is a solid enough album to have some varying preferences.
polyrhythm 04.29.18	Motherload > Show Yourself imo
Assemblage 04.29.18	For Andromeda and Steambreather, those were both tracks I enjoyed for the first few weeks I heard them but shortly after there was a huge dropoff in returning to them. The only ones though really. Andromeda's too ehh to me in it's structure and lyrics. Steambreather is great for the vibe of the album but it wears itself out in my opinion by the end of the track.
DDDeftoneDDD 04.29.18	Jaguar Goooood
Assemblage 04.29.18	Similarly to Halloween for me, I saw some people talking about it on the Once More Around the Sun thread about it being the best track but I just don't listen to that one hardly at all.
DDDeftoneDDD 04.29.18	I don't like clandestiny that much though...My rating would be totally diferent but its matter of taste and is always cool to see someone dissecting such a missunderstood album.
Assemblage 04.29.18	Yeah I think Clandestiny kinda gets passed by but I get it. To me its got almost a title track feeling to it in the verses and especially the chorus. The whole thing is just tasty and Brent gets some decent airplay in the vocal department, and the lyrics hit pretty hard as well.
CygnusX1 04.29.18	11 should be top 3 tho. Show yourself should have not been on the album
