| After subsequent listens, I've decided this is a good album. I was in the mindset that it was gonna sound like one of the past Mastodon albums, and because of that mindset my judgment of the album was skewed. Judging it against an album like Leviathan or Remission, yeah it's almost completely different. But judging it as a single entity with no connection to any of Mastodon's past works, it's pretty good. In the long run I probably won't love it like I do Leviathan and Blood Mountain, but I'll still give it a good amount of plays. |
