I was obsessed with this album when it was released. It's crazy how much of a mental time machine music can be, taken me right back to listening to it at college most days in 2009. Best days of my life.
I remember when [as] ran the promo for this album along with Dethklok's Dethalbum II. I heard this opening riff and knew I was hooked. Both albums amazing pieces of musicianship.
You need to get ahold of one of those flash thingys that they use in Men in Black. Get you one of those bad boys and every time you listen to it you can hear it for the very first time every time , you digg?
@@so-uc5lgThen you my dear fellow are having a great time of it for a while. Also better late than never. Hope the musical journey you're embarking on takes you to z best destinations my friend !
One of the greatest hard rock songs of all time! The fall back to the 4/4 feeling for the chorus is absolute genius. If comfort food was music this would be it.
I remember coming across this song on XM back when it played in the 800's on Direct TV. They had some good ass music around that time & I bought several albums because of the songs I found while listening to that rock/metal/whatever station.
Dude shit, you just unlocked memories buried real fucking deep in my mind. Hell, I still find it a little bit bizarre that Sirius and XM were once competitors.
Yes…yes they really did have some good music taste. I haven’t thought about those music channels for years…I remember it when I was fourteen, and feels so long ago.
I flew beyond the sun before it was time Burning all the gold that held me inside my shell Waiting for you to pull me back in I almost sat the world in my sights Close, low bright eyes fading Faster than stars falling How can I tell you I failed? Tell you I failed Fallen from grace cause I been away too long Leaving you behind with my lonesome song Now I'm lost in oblivion I tried to bore a hole into the ground Breaking all the fingers and the nails from my hand The eyes of the child see no wrong Ignorant bliss in Close, low bright eyes fading Faster than stars falling How can I tell you I failed?

@@VanXHydrAbut there’s so many better uses of an entire species’ population or at least better minerals to mine right? I don’t doubt you but the details seem iffy.
Not trying to nitpick, but I always thought z lyric was "ignorant bliss, impending doom" . I could be wrong about that though. Regardless I'm a big fan of putting z lyrics along with the song, even if you already know the lyrics, therefore thank you my good sir/brother. Tis a good thing that you've done for us!
It's a testament to how good their music truly is that I can say that I might like Colony of birchmen, Divinations and Sleeping Giant a little bit more, but not by much Oh And Siberian Divide (mostly because it features Cedric Bixler Zavala of Mars Volta fame) I can imagine seeing Mars Volta and Mastodon hanging out together and getting into some crazy antics. Personally I love my Volta a little more than Mastodon, but both groups are capable of combining psychedelic prog rock with metal and jazz among other genres. I'd love to see Volta, Mastodon and Opeth either go on tour or start a side project together. (Oh yeah has everyone heard z news that MV, Deftones and System of a down will be going on tour together?! That's an awesome line up for sure. Take it easy Pals out there
This was the song I was born with, as this album came out one week or so before I was born, & the first song my Dad decided to play when he took me home from the hospital was Oblivion, as it's the first song on the track. And everytime a song from Crack The Skye plays on the radio now, my Dad says "This reminds me of you." With that being said, thanks Mastodon, for a badass first birthday, and many memories. I'm now a bassist of five years, with you guys being one of my major inspirations. - 💜
Stevie Wonder said funk combined the “earthiness of blues with the sophisticated of jazz”. I feel like Mastedon does a similar thing with prof rock and class hard rock.
No way..... When the chorus hit- I was thrown back nearly 4 or 5 years to hearing this song, somewhere, somehow, and being like- this is great, but who is that!? And then it just disappeared. And now I have finally found it. I wouldn't have known where to start looking! MASTODON birthed this bad boy!!!??
I got to see you guys August 26th last month here in Iowa and I was really hoping I could watch you guys perform this song because it's been an all time favorite for me personally, unfortunately you did not play this one but nonetheless the entire performance was incredible either way and that's all I could ask for so hell yeah, man
This band had been rediscovered by me. I never realised how good they were back in Leviathan days. Well, I was just a 12 year old dumb teenager back in 2004
It's bizarre how there's bands that we didn't pay much attention to in our past, but then later down the road it just sorta clicks. I'm simply happy to hear that you enjoy their music now
i know this song is about the drummers sister ...What makes a GREAT band is their music transmits MULTITUDES of ENERGY ... I have a down syndrome sister .. I feel like this relates HEAVILY . NO disrespect to the original content
Haha my first boyfriend showed me this song back in the day when I was like 15 or 16 and I can actually relate to it now. Weird how things come full circle like that.
This was the last song I got to sing with my best friend before she died. Thank you Mastodon for writing music as incredible as she was.
If I meet Mastodon someday I'll definitely report your comment to them!
Condolences for the loss of your friend.
My condolences 💐
pics or it didn't happen
I really hope she was your wife.
FALLEN FROM GRAAAAAAAAACE CAUSE I'VE BEEN AWAY TOO LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG
That part goes so fucking hard man it gives me goosebumps and scratches the back of my brain
LEAVING YOU BEHIIIIIIND WITH MY LONESOME SOOOOOONG
NOW I'M LOST, IN OBLIVIOOOOOON
In Oblivion...
🔥🔥🔥
2024 still hits love these guys
I 2nd this
3rd
*Definitely one of my favorite Mastodon songs!*
It’s my favorite song by em!!!
@@samuelwetz8378 me either bros. You can't hate that song...
It is the greatest compromise in history with all three vocalists singing in. Yet it is perfect. Cannot believe it is possible, but it is Mastodon
One of the best album openings ever! A cosmic journey! Enjoy, you'll never be the same!
Thnx, first timer
🤘🏼
@@hermanhelmich have you heard instrumental versions of this album

Bro you are not lying
beautiful memory, same time frame for me as well. wow!
College best days of your life? Damn
@@duhlike yeah, that sucks for him. every new year is the best time of my life, i'm older and wiser
I wish you great days ahead.
One of the greatest songs ever.
I absolutely love the distinct sounds of the three different vocals. Mastodon rocks \m/
First mastodon's song I heard...good times..
Seeing it live was cool
One of the few albums that demands to be played in order. True modern rock opera.
I can't love this song enough...
I remember when [as] ran the promo for this album along with Dethklok's Dethalbum II. I heard this opening riff and knew I was hooked. Both albums amazing pieces of musicianship.
Id give anything to listen to this album for the first time again
Magical huh..
I’m about to listen to this album all the way through for the first time. Can’t believe I put off mastodon for this long

but it is prog metal, it is not hard rock.
Can't explain how or why this band was so popular in Vegas but I'm glad it was. Probably one of the better Vegas shows I've been to! Brings me back
My favorite Mastodon album.
Mastodon's music continuously mirrors my internal reality, much of which I have trouble vocalizing, until I read their lyrics.
That's the true beauty of lyrics, cause they can be interpreted to mean so many different ways. True subjectivity
I remember coming across this song on XM back when it played in the 800's on Direct TV. They had some good ass music around that time & I bought several albums because of the songs I found while listening to that rock/metal/whatever station.

By far my favorite song from Crack the Skye
i always love getting to the end of this song and hearing the ominous banjo approach
It's like Rush and Alice and Chains had a baby that absolutely thrashed.
I flew beyond the sun before it was time
Burning all the gold that held me inside my shell
Waiting for you to pull me back in
I almost sat the world in my sights
Close, low bright eyes fading
Faster than stars falling
How can I tell you I failed?
Tell you I failed
Fallen from grace cause I been away too long
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song
Now I'm lost in oblivion
I tried to bore a hole into the ground
Breaking all the fingers and the nails from my hand
The eyes of the child see no wrong
Ignorant bliss in
Close, low bright eyes fading
Faster than stars falling
How can I tell you I failed?
Tell you I failed
Fallen from grace cause I been away too long
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song
Now I'm lost
Fallen from grace cause I been away too long
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song
Now I'm lost in oblivion
Fallen from grace cause I been away too long
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song
Now I'm lost
Fallen from grace cause I been away too long
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song
Now I'm lost in oblivion
In oblivion, in oblivion

This is Mastodons' top piece. Nothing comes even close, we gonna go see them live in November!
How was the show?

Glad this channel keeps comments open. This entire album rocks so hard I had to get it on CD
This was my introduction to the epicness that is Mastodon. See you on Saturday with Gojira🤘

I hope to hear this as well as Blood and Thunder this Tuesday in Nashville \m/
First Album I heard from them.I was hooked from the first time I ever heard it.Love this album and all that followed.Im a huge fan!!!!!
Who's here in 2021? Still one of the best albums ever!
I!!!!! For sure! 💯🔥💀
🤘💪🖤🔥
Prob my favorite from them
Every band has a "apex" album, lateralus, ashes of the wake, obZen, archetype, iowa...
6 years before I did a tattoo from the album, facebook remember it to me and now I'm lost in Oblivion
Best Music I’ve Heard all day.
I see you're listening to Crack The Skye again. Have fun my friends.
One of best ever albums
Brann Dailor's vocal section is amazing. Gives me chills everytime. What a great song.
Best album
inhales
*EVER*
To Be Kind is better!
@@harrylamont6007 Both great albums, two of the best Rock albums of 21st century...
@@harrylamont6007 COMPLETE-ly different and not a good comparison. Swans are way more discordant and an experience for another day and mood.
So privileged to be blessed by this song. I love you guys! Pray so many more righteous songs and albums to come. Keep it together fellas🤘💯
I bought the cd shortly after it was released and I fell in love
seen these GODS on this tour when the album came out. they played the whole thing live, track 1 - 7. EPIC
such a great tune cheers from argentina you came a couple of times.
One of my all time favorite songs
Not shure what are my other favourite songs but this is one of them for sure
Great taste ben
Hi UNCLE BEN
@@sithspitdanikan4725 diferent ben lol
Epic album. A journey of the mind and soul.
I feel for you brother.. time doesn't always heal, life is fragile - the soul is eternal. That's hoy I hope it will be when I meet my girl again.
everytime i listen to this song, I always have the urge to sing the main chorus, it's SO GOOD
My best friends dad showed me this song although hes a terrible person i will always thank him for showing me this
"I flew beyond the sun before it was cool."
Time*
@@chrisbailey9377 cool*
@SaltpeterTaffy
It's "I flew beyond the sun before it was *Time* "
Before it was cool?
Yeah he flew beyond it before it was trendy... 😎 🤣
@@chrisbailey9377 well thanks for forcing a humorectomy on that joke then
jeez
@@SaltpeterTaffy chrisballey9377 has been doing humeroctomy way before it was cool.

And now I have finally found it. I wouldn't have known where to start looking! MASTODON birthed this bad boy!!!??
Crazy how this was a last minute song. This makes the album imo
BRUTAL LEGEND introduced me to this masterpiece.
Love this art and music combo
that's the album artwork
I got to see you guys August 26th last month here in Iowa and I was really hoping I could watch you guys perform this song because it's been an all time favorite for me personally, unfortunately you did not play this one but nonetheless the entire performance was incredible either way and that's all I could ask for so hell yeah, man
I'm happy to report that this song still slaps in 2021.
no matter the subgenre, metal always slaps my friend
This album change my life..........
Impossível ouvir sem ser no volume máximo. Essa banda é do caralho e essa música é uma obra-prima!
This song is a masterpiece and a testament to anyone that thought they were anything special. Regret.
This was the first song from Mastodon I heard when I was a teenager on the radio in Brazil
First song I've heard from them, been in love ever since
Once again here I am I have fallen into oblivion!
Don't Stop Rockin, Guys.
Hell yeah dudes
This isnthe first song ive heard from them... holy shit, that was a trip!
THAT SOLO, metallic gilmour vibes
this song is S tier
Listened to this song a lot when it came out while I was going through a bad breakup. All these years later still gives me a case of the feels
Timeless 🕺💃
Cannot wait for June 14th!!!
Dude ill see you there!!
This is such an amazing song.
Tra i miei pezzi preferiti :)
Greetings from Italy 🙋
MASTERPIECE!!! Fight me if you think otherwise!!
Cayendo de la desgracia, porque he estado demasiado lejos, dejando te atras, con mi solitaria canción, Ahora estoy perdido en el olvido.
Best song ever
Now I'm lost in oblivion
REMINDER OF THAT TEAM AT THE READY
Mastodon at their core. The only rival is Colony of Birchmen!
Lets goooo
Thank you very much! 🎉
Awesome! 🔥
Lindona! 😍
This band had been rediscovered by me. I never realised how good they were back in Leviathan days. Well, I was just a 12 year old dumb teenager back in 2004
Nice!
Well to be honest their music has just gotten better and better with each album since Leviathan
It's bizarre how there's bands that we didn't pay much attention to in our past, but then later down the road it just sorta clicks. I'm simply happy to hear that you enjoy their music now
The best Mastodon album. The last I truly enjoyed and respected. It all went downhill from then.
Heavy song! 🤘🏾
Thanks for making a playlist! Much appreciated.
Discovered this in 2016 while playing Brütal Legend. Still listening to this meow in 2021
From the jester to the King. You are already described and destroyed.
i know this song is about the drummers sister ...What makes a GREAT band is their music transmits MULTITUDES of ENERGY ... I have a down syndrome sister .. I feel like this relates HEAVILY . NO disrespect to the original content
changed my life
This song has one of the coolest guitar solo of entire metal history. Alongside with Tornado of souls and 10000 days.
Soooo goooood
Genial!!!
Hell yeah
Perfection
What a great song made me headbanging and I learned a lot of mastadoon song
these visuals are so fucking insane
Semplicemente fantasticiiiii epic CD WUAUUU assolo e VOCE epicaaaaa grazie maestri 💯🎤🎤🎤
Ua serio, è spettacolare questa canzone
Good tune
Haha my first boyfriend showed me this song back in the day when I was like 15 or 16 and I can actually relate to it now. Weird how things come full circle like that.
