Mastodon (Official Thread)

[AtomicPunk]

Agree 100%

The Hunter is solid, but it's not having as much of a lasting effect as say Leviathan, CTS, or BM. Might take some more listens, idk. But I've noticed others are saying the same thing.

 

[METALPRIEST]

Been digging these guys more these days.

As have I. Interesting to read they made their albums based on elements or some form of concept album. Leviathan I think was Moby Dick inspired?
The album I'm listening to now actually. Going to listen to every album again, I still want to get The Call Of the Mastodon which I think is tracks they made before they did Remission.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

probably seeing them Wednesday with opeth.

 

[Riff Raff]

Hope you enjoy man. Mastodon and Opeth I would dearly love to see live.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

Hope I can go. I gotta work a few hours before. If cant go I cant. Ill be bummed, but w.e

Remission I have to say is certainly a grower, taken the 4th listen now to truly get into it, that and having seen a thought out review on this album on youtube.

March of the Fire Ants is a great track.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uShqlufsq5w

As is Ol'e Nessie


This album has the rawness, very sludgy nature to it, for a debut album the production was pretty damn good too. Remission is a must buy really.

Hey, what do you guys think about Mastodon and Feist little project? Both are polar opposites but they released an EP where they covered each others songs! I thought it was pretty cool! Check it out!

That is a strange crossover for sure...I don't have any of Fiest's records, but do have all of Mastodon's.

I'll be back later to give them a listen and share my thoughts.
