I thought this would sound like leftovers of Emperor of Sand. Am glad that's not case.

Just fantastic. Brent Hinds gives us "Crack The Skye" meets "The Hunter" and it definitely surpassed my expectations.

A cold dark place that I would love to visit again and again. "Blue Walsh" is amazing. and the ending is beyond spectacular.

EPs consisting of extras from a bands' previous recording sessions are often some of the least memorable music releases available. Cold Dark Place is one of the occasions where everything seems to go right for one of these types of EPs. The four tracks are leftovers/extras from '....Round the Sun' and 'Emperor of Sand' but in the end they are clearly distinct in sound from those two LPs. Cold Dark Place represents a more minimal, soulful style from Mastodon with richer melodic vocal harmonies and more melancholic, personal lyrics. It leans towards progressive and stoner rock more than prog metal and is clearly more Mastodon but in a more restrained manner. Some of these tracks could easily be featured on the LPs but it seems like they didn't fit the flow or style of those LPs so Mastodon scrapped them. Oddly enough, 'Toe to Toes' is better than any track on the LP it was left off (Emperor of Sand) and one of the best Mastodon tracks of the last decade, outstanding.

Color me surprised, I'm quite shocked that I liked this EP. Personally, I'd be on board for a full
length album with stuff like this.

Profgy as fuck. Awesome as fuck. If these guys recorded themselves shitting and released it I'd probably love that too.

Nothing I enjoy about Mastodon, neatly wrapped into a 4 track EP.

Better than the last two albums, but even with just four songs this feels a little boring and overlong.

I dunno, I thought it was kind of boring to be honest.
