Medium rarities really? Didn't Cattle Decapitation have a compilation with the same name or something? Checked, yes they did.

Yeah, at least it's coherent with cattle decap's name and vegan ideology. Mastodon probably did it for the lulz.

I adore Mastodon, but I'm not really a huge fan of this song tbh. It feels like a huge amalgamation of ideas that don't pair well together at all.

Which is probably why it didn't make it into any of their major releases.

Ok, I just read the description, nevermind

another dud

Pretty much.

Pretty excited to hear Orion

*looks at track-listing* Oh yes that painfully obscure Mastodon rarity - ‘Blood & Thunder’.

Have very little interest in this tbh.

Foo Fighters also had Medium Rare if that counts

Not really interested in a rarities album that almost exclusively exists out of instrumental, live or cover songs.. The new song is amazing though.

Solid track.

nice to hear scott kelly again

Tracklist is such a disappointment.
Song is real good though.

Yeah that song was pretty cool. I'm always down for more mastodon jams. Tracklist is really meh tho, not really worth getting excited about.

Great song, the main-riff is really good! (Kinda felt like it was written by Teloch, haha!)

Man, "Linoleum Knife" takes me back.

But yeah, tracklist overall is kind of disappointingly heavy on the live/instrumental/alt take thing, which is fine for what it is, I guess, but not my cup of tea.

It's really a shame what happened to this band.

Song is avarage as best, the best thing in it is Kelly's feature.

Yawn

Cut You Up With A Linoleum Knife.. excellent. Bring on the college humor.
“Do not crinkle your food wrappers loudly. Be considerate to others or I will bite your torso and give you a disease.”

Such a wasted opportunity to leave their best covers from this: Just Got Paid, The Bit, Stairway to Heaven and Emerald.

Y'all are lame as fuck, I'm buying this

I think this song is pretty nice actually, didn't expect it

flaming lips cover?

they should go back to writing pop prog rock like on Crack the Skye

Song is fun, nice to hear Kelly as always.

Mastodon has to be one of the worst metal bands of the last 25 years or so. Just consistently awful and cringey music

Lawd. What a statement.

Welp my only expectation for this was that it would include their cover of "Just Got Paid" and they failed me :/

Song is pretty cool, tracklist for the album is not.

"Mastodon has to be one of the worst metal bands of the last 25 years or so. Just consistently awful and cringey music"

People like you ruin this site

Y'all really acting like a dude who 4.5ed Audioslave has opinions worth considering huh

idk they've stunk pretty hard for over a decade now

in that time the only release of theirs ive enjoyed was the ep a couple years ago, outside of that they've been so dull and uninspired

nice dig sint prob my favorite release of the year so far

Sint’s right, but to say they were NEVER good, or worse ‘awful/cringey’ (like that other dude) is way off base.

Personally I've found every album of theirs to be enjoyable. The newer albums have a lot more pop influence but I think they pull it off super well.

genuinely curious as to how the fuck they play "A Spoonful Weighs a Ton"

lol me too

Not too many kind words on this track,but I personally think it's pretty solid. Doesn't look like it would be worth purchasing, but glad White Walker will be getting an official release.

I've been a Mastodon fan for years and even liked much of their last album, but the production choices for this song are so bizarre. It just sounds so filtered and muffled. I also felt that the blending between older-era guitar sounds and newer-era song structure sounded really awkward. With that said, I'm still looking forward to a new LP from them.
