people keep saying that Mastodon have poor vocals. I strongly dissagree with that statement. The vocals have to enhance and carry on the concept of the music/song and the general mood of the band, which in my opinion in mastodon's case is done excellently.
Looks like Brent's really blown his voice here. See the Live at Aragon DVD and he doesn't sing this bad here (although he doesn't sing very good live, but who can when playing awesome riffs like that?!). Is it just me or is Troy signaling "I got this" at @03:55?
love this song. Mastodon have such a cool sound for a metal band.. I don't even notice the apparently poor vocals. im just in amazement at the killer riffs
@tasikas75 they have struggled, but they have also improved greatly. And it also sounds worse in videos. If you see them live, the vocals fit in perfectly because their performance is so freakin powerful, ive seen them twice already and both have been the best concerts. now i got them again this november
@tasikas75 they've gotten much better live. brent still lags on certain songs, but watch vids from the current "The Hunter" tour and i guarentee your opinion on there live vocals will change.
@ohkilla 9 string. Matt pike (High on Fire), Bill, and Brent all have the same guitar. It's got the bottom 3 strings doubled and the top three are standard. They're made by First Act.

I'm tied between this and The Last Baron as their greatest song. Calling Crack the Skye a masterpiece is an insult.
