Buck Futtler just depends what your favorite genre is though. Cold dark place isn’t the same genre as Crack the Skye and Crack the Skye isn’t the same genre as Remission or Leviathan. That’s why I love Mastodons discography so much. There’s an album in there for every type of metal fan.
Well he lost his mind when he cracked his head open at the end of 2007 when that prick Reverend William Burke sucker-punched him. Out of the insanity that was caused by the head injury came CTS. Brent was always insane tho there’s not much different about him now.
The older I get, the more that the "new" stuff by bands I like suddenly is 10 years old. If you're not old yet, enjoy your time while you can. The emperor of sand kicks up the speed once you hit, say, 30. Then it all just whizzes by, and before you know it, you're old and Mastodon records you think just came out recently are celebrating their 10th anniversary.
"Every other album was better in my mind after listening to this album". Isn't that kinda implying that Crack The Skye was so bad that basically everything is good in comparison?
@@Heeskane No, that means every other Mastodon album he listened to became better after listening to Crack the Skye, and not necessarily better than Crack the Skye itself. Most likely, he got connected to their sound, and started appreciating it's nuances.
@@BlazeDragonX Yeah that's another way to put it. For me that kind of album would probably be Blood Mountain, although nowadays it's my 3rd favorite album after Leviathan and Crack The Skye.
Ah the internet, where anything you try to convey is immediately turned upside down. So youre saying that you hated prehistoric mammals until Rasputin usurped the Czar? Dude, then why are you even walking on the outside of your feet?
@@bugaveli Talking to me? If so, calm down. I was only a bit confused the way op put his thoughts, Blaze Dragon X pretty much cleared it up (unless the op actually meant something different)
Same here, brotha! I was going to get Crack the Sky album cover tatted, but ended up with Blood Mountain on my forearm. I love this band to death, and they should go down as one of the greats.
Yea my mom died when I was 9 so this whole album hit me strong just like brann after being told his sister died said that moment is enough to crack the sky. I was 14 when I bought this album.
Me too. Listening to this album, I could tell these were people who had been there themselves, dealt with crushing loss, so it wasn't a big surprise to me to find out the background. I lost my mom when I was 11, and even though it was almost 20 years later when I heard this album I connected with it right away.
when Crack the Skye released 10 years ago, I had no idea who Mastodon was. my friend said "hey, check this out" and showed me Oblivion and The Czar. when I went home I listened to the whole album and instantly became a fan. Mastodon has helped me through so many hardships in my life and for that I will be forever grateful. you guys rock!
Rob Veryard for me it’s like impossible to rank them because picking a mastodon album over another is like choosing your favorite child. Hell even their worst album in my opinion(remission) is like a 4/5. For me leviathan, blood mtn, emperor and crack the skye are all 5/5. We are really lucky to have a band like this in our era of shitty pop music...
They are both really great even if they are like in the end of my list 1- blood mountain 2- leviathan 3- emperor of sand 4- crack the skye 5- the hunter 6- omrts 7- remission
@@remyvilleneuve4879 for me it would go from least best to best 7. Emperor of Sand 6. The Hunter 5. Blood Mountain 4. Remission 3. Once More 'Round the Sun 2. Leviathan 1. Crack the Skye
How anybody puts EoS as the least best album is beyond crazy to me. But opinions are like assholes. And you are entitled to them. So ima respect it fellas.
i remember walking around my college campus one day and seeing stickers all over the place for this album - vending machines, windows and doors, bike stands, the parking garage, and i was like what the hell, ill give it a shot. really got me into mastodon. one of the greatest metal bands of my life. so thanks, dude who was on the street team pasting stickers all over UNF campus
They really did accomplish everything they said they wanted to with this album! It's truly timeless and amazing in every way! *I'll have this album and their others on loop till the day I reach the crack in the skye myself*
Mission accomplished, guys. Everything they sought out to do, they accomplished. This is my favorite Mastodon album and one of the best rock/metal albums of the last 20 years.
I appreciate Mastodon because they are always refining their sound, they constantly seem to make not necessarily a better album every time, but something that is fresh and new and always has replay value. Damn I love these guys.
I wish they had kept pushing in the direction that Crack the Skye had went into. That album might be one of the most listenable prog metal efforts of all time. I still love them, but they definitely took a sharp left turn after this one, and started making more songs centered around hooks.
Tbh I think they tried to do a more prog rock thing on EOS and it was just kind of a swing and a miss for me personally. I much prefer OMRTS and is accessibility tbh.
Brady Dastrup you know they haven’t came close to those first four. I like all metallica but the lyrics aren’t as good, the solos aren’t as good, the singing isn’t as good, etc. I like all of their shit but let’s be real.
I'm looking forward to this series, I hope they do an episode that really delves into what Brent went through. I'd understand if they didn't because it kinda implicates one or two other musicians from well known bands, but I'd really like to hear more about his experience with being in a coma as well as the recovery process. I'm also looking forward to crying like a baby from the episode about what Brann poured into the album.
That will never happen. There is an obscure interview where Troy clears the air a bit and puts water under the bridge. The bands won't talk about it anymore. Apparently Brent was just as much at fault and being drunk and annoying kept pushing to fight. There was a video on here where he did the same thing to Pepper Keenan at a festival and you could see Pepper trying not to fuck him up. I love Brent, but he's "that guy" when he was wasted. I'm sure he has finally calmed.
Seeing Mastodon tonight in Mesa Az. Made me a bit sad/happy seeing Nick John at 3:50. Thank you Mastodon for some of the most amazing music I have ever had the pleasure to listen to.
I hold this album up there with stuff like Automatic For The People, The Empire Strikes First, SuperUnknown, 2112, and Fully Completely as one of my all time favorite records. It's an album that helps make you a musician, and if you never become a musician, it leaves you an avid music lover for life. Keep on rocking, you magnificent bastards~
It's videos like this that make an already super special band even more special to me. I found this band at just the right time and their music has always given me much needed stress relief and ease of mind. Thanks Brann Dailor for being one of my main drumming inspirations
You did it. An undeniable classic. The album that made me love Mastodon. The album I love more than an any of the other fine records you’ve put out. If you can come back to Scotland with this show it will make me very happy.
Fan from the beginning, love the progression these artists keep striving for....one of the best bands if the last 20 yrs, hands down...many thanks, friends
This album is so good! Whenever I've introduced someone to Mastodon, this album has been the example. Lifetime fan since I saw you in Austin on tour with Dethklok 2009!
Easily within my top 10 albums of all time. Completely floored me when I heard it for the first time. Hope they play the album in full live over here in Europe too! Also, super weird to hear Brent being serious in an interview :-)
Wow, so much better video quality than dvd, thanks! I remember listening to Quintessense and Ghost of Karelia for the 1st time as INSTRUMENTALS on band's website and being falling in love with the sound and arrangements
You guys did it. This is the album that drew me in, just a few months before Once More 'Round the Sun. Since each album has been different, it's hard to say for sure which is my favorite--I think it depends on my mood. This one helped me through a really dark time and will always be something special for me.
I'm basically saying what everyone else is saying but Mastodon absolutely hit the nail on the head with this song, this album. They put in this extremely high standard and goal in mind and achieved it by me and many others. I only hope this beautiful album becomes a classic rock anthem everyone can look back on and continue to enjoy. I want this to be the stairway to heaven of songs, which I find it even more amazing that Mastodon did a cover of. I want this to be the "Ughh I've listened to this a million times but I can't just change the station or I won't feel complete" type of song.
1 of like 10 DVDs I've owned for as long as it's been out, I remember, I got it at hot topic with a Blood Mountain shirt for like 15 bucks and one of our friends that worked there knew we were gonna drive to Birmingham for the first show of the tour, that's a whole other story with Brent's people 😆❤️
Every band says the same thing for their upcoming album. "It's different. Better than anything else we've done". Mastodon actually meant it with this timeless classic.
![Mastodon - The Last Baron [Official Visualizer]](/img/n.gif)
the "spiraling up through the crack in the sky" part is one of the best musical pieces i've ever heard in my life.
Fucking Goosebumps everytime
this is the same reason it's one of my favorite songs. The whole 10 minutes are just so amazing
I have 2 CDS in my car. 10,000 days, and this album. They're for emergencies when im phoneless.
You should just throw that tool cd right out the window maybe some homeless guy can use it as a coaster in his tent

You should burn 10.000 days cd.
everything they wanted to do with the album, theyve achieved. its one of the best albums ever imho
They are describing it and it is indeed so accurate of what its sounds like. An album that goes to history
true. and its their 2nd best album. shows how amazing Mastodon is..blood mountain is their magnum Opus.
Song at 1:51 tho

And have to listen start to finish!!! Amazing album
Brent lost his mind making this beautiful, brilliant album.
RIP sane Brent.
Hahaha legit 😂 hasn't acted normal even once since then

Man Brent sounds so much more articulate here
Still was able to speak seriously
I guess the horse meat got to him.
Probably the last album he was excited about putting out with them
That audio is ~11 years old
Even the goofiest person out there has a sincere side.
She would have been so proud, Brann.
Oblivion was the song that introduced me to this amazing band. This album helped me through some tough, strange times.

Crack The Skye is as brilliant today as it was my freshman year... Just wanted to shout out The Haunted at 0:47 ...Such a killer band!
I'm 40 and started to get into this band only recently. Have no idea how I've spent so long not knowing about this monument of band.
They really did accomplish everything they said they wanted to with this album! It's truly timeless and amazing in every way! *I'll have this album and their others on loop till the day I reach the crack in the skye myself*

They achieved it. This is a legendary album that blew everyone away.
I still have the deluxe edition cd that has this doumentary! Glad to see it's coming back around
I love how these guys are approaching 50 now and are still relevant as they have ever been.
Crack the Skye was meant as an homage to Brann Dailor's sister, Skye Dailor, who committed suicide at age 14
I wish they had kept pushing in the direction that Crack the Skye had went into. That album might be one of the most listenable prog metal efforts of all time. I still love them, but they definitely took a sharp left turn after this one, and started making more songs centered around hooks.
Really is a masterpiece..regardless if your a big fan or not ..I have friends that don't care for mastodon but this is in there top ten albums ever
Greatest times of my life were when Mastodon were playing in the background. So many missed memories. Great music.
They achieved their goals, mastodon best album, truly unique there is nothing out there that sounds like it.
I know no one wants the same album twice but ...I wish they would make another
Phillip Phillip Tell that to Metallica fans. Lol If it’s not like the first four, then it’s gotta suck.
