    Produced and Directed by Jimmy Hubbard
    Lyrics:
    I Have Seen This Once Before
    I Have Felt These Colors
    I Have Known You For So Long
    When We Ran In Circles
    For Our Sake
    I Will Wait For You
    I Walk Alone Into The Darkness
    I Came Toe To Toe And Face To Face With The Beast
    He Knew Me By My Name It Was Surprising
    He Knew Everything About Me That I Despised
    I Have Seen This Once Before
    I Have Felt These Colors
    I Have Known You For So Long
    When We Ran In Circles
    He Had Gold And He Had Silver
    He Had All The Women And Wine That You'd Ever Need
    Just One Thing A Prick Of Your Finger Spell Your Name In The Sand And Do It With Your Own Blood
    Bitten By Fangs Of Circumstance
    Outward Light A Reflection
    We Are All Equal
    Underneath The Slab Of Material
    Mutable Ways Of My Fortune
    Bitten By My Fangs
    Gave Me A Smile
    Gave Me A Whisper
    Lay Me Down In Linens
    To Watch Me Sleep
    I Played The Fool
    I Played The Sinner
    I Played The Part Of Me That No One Wanted To See

    Little piece of trivia for y'all: Brent originally wanted this EP to be a solo project because it deals with deep aspects of his character, life and mind, but he later decided to let the boys join in so he could share part of the burden with them. He considered that in this manner the process would have been much less painful.
    True friendship at its best, I love them.

      The making of Emperor really portrays their friendship and the way music connects them. I get really emotional when they talk about Bill`s mom passing, and how he just wanted to jam with them because they are his friends and wanted to share that moment with them. I love that idea of a band.

      bluematter01 I agree except for their latest album, which I found to be their first lackluster release. It actually bored me right off the bat because it sounded uninspired and a rehashed wannabe CTS.
      I still love Mastodon to death, but I fear this is the beginning of generic Mastodon. I hope they bounce back.

    • @metalehead95
      @metalehead95 6 років тому +1

      I tottaly agree with you. But you know they are people they get old i dont think they have they same energy to write and perform new complex and extreeme songs. However that doesnt mean people should get hyped and praise them when they realise uninspired music.
      PS : Someone should make a compilation video with young mastodon giving hell on stage and then old mastodon recording claps for their new song.

So when I hear his deep and rumbling vocals in a Mastodon song, I can't help but imagine him taking an epic dump in the studio while recording it...

    Brent. The Joe Walsh of Mastodon and metal. Seriously. He's the guy in the background, laid back, unique, and cool.

      I like that they released it. I feel like if a band is going through whatever it is that makes them think and EP is a better fit for them than an LP, then go for the EP. I think Tool really fucked up by waiting 12 years between albums. That's unecessary. Release 4 songs 5 years in, and everyone would have been thrilled, and also have been saying "Damn this is sick, wish there were more songs!" But gain, the alternative is zero songs. Love this band.

      Brent Hinds said that Mastadon is not a Metal band and never was, and that he hates metal. . . . . Really? Haha
      I think it's cool that Mastadon is doing it their own way, and I really like the positive vibe of these lyrics, but frankly in my opinion this song sounds like total shite.
      Blood Mountain is the last Mastadon album I am a fan of.
      Mastadon was a Metal band, now they are prog/pop rock with some heavy guitar tones.
      To each their own, but Brent alienating his earlier fans with his anti metal attitude and also speaking an out right lie about the band's past, . . . . . . He is now residing in the dick wagon category for me.
      Mastadon basically pulled a Metallica . . . . . .. . .

    • @goopah
      @goopah 5 років тому

      @Mikey H. Really? Total shite? I can understand your disappointment in their change of direction, but you honestly have no appreciation for this kind of music? Each to his own, I guess, and we all have music genres that we don't like, but it surprises me that this song rates at the bottom of the scale for you. "Total shite". Those are strong words that seem to imply that any kind of music would be better than this...?
      For me, it's this very change of direction that made me a Mastodon fan (but then I've always loved prog rock), and I have now bought their latest two albums, and I'm contemplating which of their earlier albums I should buy next. It would be easy for me to listen to a random song here on UA-cam, but I think the best approach is to buy an entire CD and listen to the whole thing to get a more accurate feel for that particular time in their career. Maybe you can help me decide. Ignore my personal taste for a second, and just tell me straight-out which is your personal favorite Mastodon album. I love heavy music as well, so don't pull any punches. I'm looking for what Mastodon fans consider their very best album ever. Not song, but full album. I like to listen to full albums instead of singles. Which is best from beginning to end?
      It would also help if you told me why you love that particular album, but I understand you might not want to write that much to some random dude on UA-cam, so if you'd rather just give me the title, I could probably find some good reviews by others. I'd rather have your own words however, as you have intrigued me with what you've already written so far.

    I love how much fun they have in the studio...even to this day. It can be grueling...I know, but they're doing it, and have been for a long time, and obviously still having fun, and making kick ass tunes. True to the testament of rock .
