Mastodon - new album

anyone looking forward to this?

Brent Hinds had this to say about it

This only took us a couple weeks to record and there’s a totally different feeling to it. It’s a jump-on-your-bed, get naked, and go streaking kind of record. I haven’t had this feeling about a Mastodon record since Leviathan. It’s just fucking awesome.”

“We’ve got a song about fighting, there’s a song about lifting heavy stuff, there’s a song about people on meth creeping around in trees trying to get the best wood grain out of a tree to sell it at Lowe’s for [drug] money… The album is kind of silly. We’re taking the piss out of things.”

so it makes me think it will be more like these two than their other stuff

That sounds totally awesome. Can't wait to hear something.

The Aqua Teen Intro is maybe my favorite Youtube vid of all time.

sounds awesome

My most anticipated release in a while.

If it will be anything like Crack the Skye, I am pumped. Now that I know they can sound like that, I don't wanna hear them go back to what they were before it.

But you did read the first post, right?

I welcome a return to Leviathan-style releases. That shit was bad ass. The Hearts Alive solo live goes twice as long. Fucking amazing.

Yes. I did read the first post. I am waiting to hear it for myself.

mushroomleg is way to hardcore for such nonsense.

Has this leaked yet???????

nope

leaked, and its pretty fucking good

I can't wait to get home and grab this!!!

thoughts?

I wasn't blown away or anything. But I think it'll grow on me pretty quickly.
It's pretty much a mixture of the last two discs to the point that they seem to have recycled some riffs and leads. All a bit more refined or reduced maybe. And I miss some growls here and there, but they seem to have done away with that completely. The vocals however really sound more focused now, which takes some of the weirdness out, but makes for some more catchy tunes. I really think it'll grow on me, but I'm not as stoked as the last three times around.

I think this album is fucking delicious. I love it already.

meh. its ok. sounds like mastodon
been liking them less and less with each album.

the cover is really gay!

i agree

I have only listened once at FormalinDances and I dug it...

Weird. I have never seen or heard you actually call me FormalinDance.

Just wanted everyone to know who i was talking about...plus I possibly was baked...
