All right I guess. Now he needs to quit drinking as much, sober up a little bit and get back to working on the new Mastodon album.

that shit makes blood mountain look like a masterpiece

this is horrible

wow lol

Oompa-loompas sound like they're pretty heavy

Is thought that was Jack Black singing on the second one for a moment.

I fear dearly for the future of Mastodon...

pretty pointless

Tsunami sounds like a song I once made in Garage Band...

Is this a joke post? like a joke review...but a news article? -_____- guess not...

Do they really need to be 2 different side-projects?

West End Motel sounds okay if I was just getting hammered at a bar and a few dudes in the corner were playing this music.

aren't these old??

what's wrong witchu guys? you're not supposed to take this super seriously. it's real, yeah, but if you dont like it then c'mon now.

I don't know man...the first song just doesn't seem to have a nice mesh between the percussion and the rest of it. It's not lolbad but still.

"West End Motel sounds okay if I was just getting hammered at a bar and a few dudes in the corner were playing this music."

That's kind of the idea, folks. If you've heard Mastodon or anything from the Atlanta area in the past 5 years, you know where the roots of these bands lie. So stuff like this shouldn't come as a surprise, nor should it worry anyone.

I think it's awesome that Brent does this for himself, although I do hope it's entirely parallel to Mastodon cuz we wouldn't want side projects to interfere with that shit.

no, it has nothing to do with it not being heavy. i just thought that since brent is such a decent
guitar player, that altho not heavy, something better would have resulted. you can't be metal all the
time. i get that.

also, the start of that fiend without a face song reminds of wesley willis' "they
threw me outta church" a great song in its own right.

and having listened to that west end hotel song a few times, if they got rid of the crappy lead
vocals, they could be a decent drinking band

i expected these to not be metal. its just that its not that good non-metal. the guitary track has a kind of charm to it though

listen guys, it doesn't reflect on mastodon, these songs are old as the dickens. as in literally written at least since before crack the skye was released and probably before.

I hope you're right, because these were terrible.

Solo projects are never really a good idea. See: BTBAM

Fuck off with this shit and make a new Mastodon album, already.

wow that sucked
