You know, for a long time I thought that I was really bummed about not having had the chance to got to one of the shows when they opened up for Metallica. By now Im really glad that never happened, because I could never go to any other concert again... they would all suck compared.
Christ this barrage of noise made with semi-professional instruments is SO tiring. I wish these guys, especially the drummer and the singer would just move on with their lives and move into other careers. Gentlemen, the service industry awaits your completed application forms.
No offense, but after Crack The Skye, they kind of lost it. The Hunter didn't even sound like the sludge metal that Mastodon became so famous for. Remissions was still a kick-ass album.
remission is a great album, and the hunter compared to remission are two different sounds. people that are hating on the hunter for the wrong reasons should watch this video, brann explains this evolution
@420mofuckah Just listen to anything off of this or Leviathan. All Troy uses (most of the time) is massive amounts of distortion and fuzz. Sounds like static, but somehow it's the best bass sound in the world.
@thatguy145025 wow you sound crazy, he uses this sound that sounds like static and its the best bass sound ever i dont know alot about bass but i have enough common sense to know that static sounds like fucking shit
@420mofuckah Well everybodies got their opinion. I used to think static sounded like shit too, most of it does really. But in the right places it's just fucking heavy you know? I just saw Mastodon last Monday and I crowd surfed and moshed to this song the most.
remission was one of the heaviest albums ive ever fell in love with, i really hope mastodon will make something along those lines again. i mean i love all of their stuff, but remission just stirs up stuff in me
mastodon tends to do albums based off the feel of certain elements. and crack the skye was air while remission was fire. but atleast elements like metal are coming up lolol. personally i love all of there stuff
@MutilationOfTheWeak What stupidity are you talking about? Dont even presume to declare some nonsense like that, as if you actually know what you are talking about. At least not without backing it up with CLEAR sources. Otherwise rephrase and complete your sentences, for it to be CLEAR that it is nothing more than your single individual opinion.
@ghoawaynetcabo "Crack The Skye is a departure from everything we've previously recorded in the sense that we kinda strapped on our aeroshells and departed from Earth for a while, and then captained to the ethereal element of the universe and kind of slept on the roof of the world for a while to get a perspective on this record. ... Basically we're exploring the ethereal world. We're dissecting the dark matter that dominates the universe, in a nutshell." -Troy Sanders.
@ghoawaynetcabo well look it up dickhead it took me ten seconds to verify this guys statement, prolly took you twice as long to put together your little rant there
@ShoveDaddy How quick were you to decide to add your rude and pointless little comment? Bad decisions are easy and quick when you dont actually THINK first. And who the f made you think that your dumbass was welcome in this conversation? In your thorough "ten seconds" verifications, oh great worthless investigator, did you happen to come across Brents words in this video: a_C-UdQ8WBo. It's an over 10second video that would make you THINK. Hope I'm not confusing you. Fuck sakes...
No need to classify whether music is good or not based on its genre. What is amazing, however, is that one band can play each genre amazingly and still come off as wicked unique and talented.
I fucking love Crack the Skye just as much as I love Remission. I swear half of all people that hate on the newer material of any band just do it so they look "cool" for being there when they started or something.
Leviathan was a 9/10 album in my humble opinion, the rest have been 10/10. Just fucking enjoy one of the best bands in the world while they are still around.
@donnymurph I gotta say. I got into Mastodon during Remission, and the more people that listen to them, the better as far as I care, but YOU CANNOT DENY how much their songwriting has changed in terms of influence and style. Crack the Skye is such a different record from their previous stuff and I really did not enjoy it. I don't hate Crack the Skye but it's not the Mastodon I got to know and love. The Hunter was decent IMO, but again, almost a different band.
@ipo1103 i agree so much, my favourite album is crack the skye (thats the album that got me into them) but remission and crack the skye sound like totally different bands. Both albums are still amazing though.
@ipo1103 This band tends to break the mold, if you pay attention no album holds the same exact style which is in a way refreshing. You don't know what your going to be looking foward too each time they come out with a new album.
damn that rips ... but the intro is a totally rip off from the band Today is the day , maiby they pay tribute maiby its just a freak thing ... but relly who cares it kick ass !!! thanks for the post
@jesperjensen74 One of the guitarists and the drummer (Bill Kelliher and Brann Dailor, respectively) were in Today Is The Day, although I think they were the last couple of members that joined.
They won't go back to this. They claimed they like the directions they went with Crack The Skye was a lot more relaxing and they were a better band cause of it.
@ZurkonTheDestroyer just because they claim they liked what they did with crack the skye doesnt mean they could put a little of this in the next album.
I love Brann Dailor's drumming on all of Mastodon's albums, especially Blood Mountain, but the drums on this album are just out of control. So many fills I don't understand how he could ever remember how to play them all. Fucking crazy.
Genres are important for describing sound. My friend tried to describe what Baroness sounded like to my other friend and couldn't, but I just said it's like Neoclassical Sludge Metal with a little Alt Metal here and there. It worked. They are also cool cause you feel like you belong somewhere in the Metal world. There's the Black Metal guys, the Thrash guys etc. etc.
top 10 mastodon songs for me (no specific order except for Hearts Alive, that's one of my favorite songs ever) : Hearts Alive, March of the Fire Ants, Trainwreck, Aqua Dementia, Capillrian Crest, Crack the Skye, The Last Baron, Quintessence,O'le Nessie, Crystal Skull (or Mother puncher)
i read the lyrics off the lyric sheet that came with the cd, so as far as the "chorus" goes, its either just screaming or it just doesnt say, but all the verses are there.
All you people are arguing and missing the point: at 2:39, Mastodon plays the smoothest, most headbanging-est riff of the year. Of the decade. Of the millenium.
@Generalptf true story. not my favorite song on remission, but possibly my favorite single moment. also... KILL, AND I WILL BE DAMNED, FORGIVE, AND I WILL BE SET FREE. at least, I think that's what troy sings...
All you guys arguing about genres and stuff... Mastodon are a heavy metal band, with some prog tendencies. Its really not that hard to define and thats what I love. These guys are skull-crushingly heavy but with originality in the composition dept, as well as with their bridges. Having Brann do some of the stuff he does probably throws people of but at the core of it its just heavy ass metal music...
When I was kid all we had was hard rock and heavy metal, now a days, all the kids keep arguing about "this is that and this another thing because it sounds like the first thing with a little bit of the second thing" Fuck That Shit!. All those other names for genres were created by the record companys so they can divide the "market" and create a larger expectation of fans (divide and conquer), evil mother-fuckers!!!
HAHAHA that's like asking what the melvins are. They don't cgive a fuck, I don't give a fuck and you sure as hell shouldn't give one either. It's music, genres do nothing but pile you up with all the other meatslappers out there in the discount bins. Make music that sounds like you ( on the inside .. and out ), not like a fucking stupid pointless genre.
Set list last friday: All of crack the skye, circle of cysquatch, aqua dementia, where strides the behemoth, mother puncher, and the bit (melvins cover). Fucking tight as hell.
I hear what you're saying, but to me that's always implied a certain level of overcomplicated, unnecessary contrivedness to music. These guys are kind of techy, but I don't see them going out of their way to be all weird and mathy and shit. They're just bad ass musicians.
@Infuzor this is actually apocalyptical drunk-stoner hard rock/dark rock/metal/dark metal/thrash metal/classic metal/doom/progressive rock/metal lepricon.
@Infuzor Me!!!! I care! I'm the belligerent prick who needs my music neatly categorized so that I may act like I have some form of artistic knowledge and comprehension, for one day my obscure knowledge of categories will get me laid! And all of you shall be green and sick with envy!
@MasterChiefNewb I saw Brent Hinds in an interview where he said that all their albums had a theme con sisting of the four elements so the remission was about fire, Leviathan - water, Blood Mountain - earth and Crack the Skye - air, which means that it has a another approach compared to the previous records. I think in the next album they will return to their old ways!!! ;)
@MasterChiefNewb find an interview with brent about their new albums, they arent dropping it all like it never happened they are still going to do it. and i like their older albums more too
@MasterChiefNewb if they kept rehashing this stuff, they wouldn't be progressing as a bands/musicians. they will always have that gritty edge to them. (divinations/crack the skye) but they need to progress as a band too.
@MasterChiefNewb sorry to burst your bubble, but mastodon said they always wanted to be a band that makes music like the one on there new album, so either like, or go looking for a new favorite band. Either way, stop complaining.
And btw, I typed in nigga not nigger. White people like you are so fucking stupid that you don't' even know the basic case change from your OWN language!! There's a difference between the 2 racial slurs
You never did, call me that. I'm using a technique referred to as "Talking in the Perspective in 3rd Person" in those 3 paragraphs like for example "Walk a mile, and then walk an extra mile"
which makes it sound like as if I'm referring to you, but of course you obviously can't read or write, nor understand English even decent (your typos really show your flaws) so I don't expect a retarded cunt like you to understand.
Bullshit. Bitch who says I'm trying to act cool? DO YOU THINK I EVEN FEEL COOL OR RELAXED RIGHT NOW???????!!!! Oh yeah and if Metalheads hate Mainstream so much they why do they still watch their music videos or play their commercialized games products? Hmmmmmm?
And asshole, you also forgot YOU CALLED ME GAY FOR NO REASON. Headbanging is always a tradition to Metal and at those concerts, as smashing guitars is to Rock.
And at least I recognize some roots of where Metal really originated from.
honestly i cant see how anyone could make any comparison between any band and MAstodon....they are on a whole other level in every category; heavy/musical/intense you name it.....like a breath of fresh air in the music world....well more like a gale
That intro is so outrageous and psychopathic!!! This song makes me want to go in the pit, and release my inner, choler, behemoth spirit inside me. Talk about rage, dudes. Damn I love Mastodon, especially this song, because it reminds me of a killer thunderstorm that'll destroy the cities. Thank God for Brann's propellant drums that flows with the song's instruments. And can someone please send me lyrics to growl with Troy?? Because I can never understand what he says on this album!!! Thanks dude
You're the faggot!! What's is so gay about banging your head to a Metal song??? People still do that because it's a tradition of Metal. And I don't befriend "Buddies" like you, notoriousfaggot
I should've said "Favorite Mastodon song to headbang too" And you have a dirty mind, ytou fag, if you were smart and normal, or knew anything ABOUT METAL then you would've realized that I meant that statement in the context of Metal, retard. I hate people like you who come out of nowhere just to diss a person for some stupid saying or opinion. Just fuck off, and listen to the music, homo. You thought that gay stuff because you knew what you could words you could twist out of my mouth, dumbass.

matrox999 10 months ago
@MutilationOfTheWeak I'm interested in seeing what the theme for air was.
Fire's theme was hard hitting, unrelenting songs with wild riffs and harsh vocals.
Water's theme was unpredictability (switching between harsh and calm i.e., Iceland and Seabeast), and surreal.
Earth's was fear of the unknown and the bumps in the night.
Aether's theme was just avant-garde, surreal, and wispy.
If anyone can figure out what theme is next, it's Mastodon. I still trust them to making amazing music.

I hear what you're saying, but to me that's always implied a certain level of overcomplicated, unnecessary contrivedness to music. These guys are kind of techy, but I don't see them going out of their way to be all weird and mathy and shit. They're just bad ass musicians.

@Infuzor Genre's are needed so we dont mix dumb shit with good shit. And by the way it wasnt meant to piss you off. Just get a point through.

@Infuzor Me!!!! I care! I'm the belligerent prick who needs my music neatly categorized so that I may act like I have some form of artistic knowledge and comprehension, for one day my obscure knowledge of categories will get me laid! And all of you shall be green and sick with envy!

@MasterChiefNewb they seem to be leaning in a more progressive-rock direction now, as opposed to prog-metal

@MasterChiefNewb I saw Brent Hinds in an interview where he said that all their albums had a theme con sisting of the four elements so the remission was about fire, Leviathan - water, Blood Mountain - earth and Crack the Skye - air, which means that it has a another approach compared to the previous records. I think in the next album they will return to their old ways!!! ;)

@MasterChiefNewb find an interview with brent about their new albums, they arent dropping it all like it never happened they are still going to do it. and i like their older albums more too

@MasterChiefNewb if they kept rehashing this stuff, they wouldn't be progressing as a bands/musicians. they will always have that gritty edge to them. (divinations/crack the skye) but they need to progress as a band too.
Jimihendrix6699 1 year ago
@MasterChiefNewb sorry to burst your bubble, but mastodon said they always wanted to be a band that makes music like the one on there new album, so either like, or go looking for a new favorite band. Either way, stop complaining.

This is one of my favourite Mastodon song. So fast, so short, so tough. Really powerful.

You never did, call me that. I'm using a technique referred to as "Talking in the Perspective in 3rd Person" in those 3 paragraphs like for example "Walk a mile, and then walk an extra mile"
which makes it sound like as if I'm referring to you, but of course you obviously can't read or write, nor understand English even decent (your typos really show your flaws) so I don't expect a retarded cunt like you to understand.
Shockheadd45 2 years ago
Bullshit. Bitch who says I'm trying to act cool? DO YOU THINK I EVEN FEEL COOL OR RELAXED RIGHT NOW???????!!!! Oh yeah and if Metalheads hate Mainstream so much they why do they still watch their music videos or play their commercialized games products? Hmmmmmm?
And asshole, you also forgot YOU CALLED ME GAY FOR NO REASON. Headbanging is always a tradition to Metal and at those concerts, as smashing guitars is to Rock.
And at least I recognize some roots of where Metal really originated from.
Shockheadd45 2 years ago
honestly i cant see how anyone could make any comparison between any band and MAstodon....they are on a whole other level in every category; heavy/musical/intense you name it.....like a breath of fresh air in the music world....well more like a gale

That intro is so outrageous and psychopathic!!! This song makes me want to go in the pit, and release my inner, choler, behemoth spirit inside me. Talk about rage, dudes. Damn I love Mastodon, especially this song, because it reminds me of a killer thunderstorm that'll destroy the cities. Thank God for Brann's propellant drums that flows with the song's instruments. And can someone please send me lyrics to growl with Troy?? Because I can never understand what he says on this album!!! Thanks dude

tell me if this is a normal question
:WHATS YOUR FAVOURITE SONG TO HEADBANG TO????
just ask whats your favorite song, no need to get fucking horny over it
notoriousstewie0 2 years ago
I should've said "Favorite Mastodon song to headbang too" And you have a dirty mind, ytou fag, if you were smart and normal, or knew anything ABOUT METAL then you would've realized that I meant that statement in the context of Metal, retard. I hate people like you who come out of nowhere just to diss a person for some stupid saying or opinion. Just fuck off, and listen to the music, homo. You thought that gay stuff because you knew what you could words you could twist out of my mouth, dumbass.
