It's nice to have confidence in knowing that when a band releases something, you're going to love it. Mastodon will never let me down. You know a band is good when you want their entire catalog.
@@fencingisb ua-cam.com/video/owAA6T71kcQ/v-deo.html At 1:08 Brann says himself that he did all the vocals on that track cos none of the other guys showed up haha
While I appreciate what Mastodon has done, I can still never get over their early work. Lifesblood, Remission, Leviathan, and Call of the Mastodon are my favorites. Call of the Mastodon and the Replases sampler disc for that album is what got me into High on Fire, Pig Destroyer, Burst, and Cephalic Carnage. My teenage years sucks byt the music was excellent. Man I miss those times.
i dont know if you're talking to me, i misread your comment and thought u were disagreeing with me even though you said "its all subjective".. either way its interesting how personal and hostile your reply was, considering this was nothing more than a meaningless discussion over particulars concerning music genre's. i always think of fellow mastodon fans as people like me.. people i like and could get along with.... i guess not.
This album was the first time I ever heard of Mastodon, way back in the early 2000's I believe. I had never heard of them and only got the album for the cover art. Glad I did though...
Listen to Today Is The Day's 'In the Eyes of God' album. Brann and Bill played on that record. Phenomenal stuff, so glad I was able to see that lineup play back in '99-00. I was forever a HUGE Brann fan after seeing that live!
@@shillian4770 yes, and these same 9 songs make up Mastodon's first demo. The versions on the demo are different recordings with the band's original vocalist, Eric Saner.
Damn it! I'm not sure what it is about 'Thank you for this', but it sounds to me like a bunch of heavy and epic break-downs, all mixed together. Feels like it's an incomplete song. Yet, somehow, it's amazing as it is. Probably, I'd just wanted it to have even more of those weird, odd-tempos added to it. Always got me loving those (Aqua dementia, black tongue, chimes at midnight, etc).
i FUCKING LOVE Every Shit of this Band , because they have something , NO Other Band has , i Swear I´ve seen em Live before two weeks (my second time ) and i FREAKING LOVE THIS FUCKING GREAT BAND . The Drums ..OMG ..Brann Dailor is 100% the Best FUCKING Drummer and together with TROY, BILL and BRENT ,they are the ABSOLUT Best Band in the Universe. One Album better than the other (The Hunter ..OMG , Crack the skye , the new one is Burning deep into my brain too..) I mean ...COME ON !!!
No joke, this came on next after a Weird Al song I was listening to. I haven’t listened to this album in a while, so I enjoyed the detour. Gotta love the UA-cam algorithm.
Yea Remission was the best possible progression from these songs, the way I usually describe this album is sonic schizophrenia it’s badass and really dark but a little too manic, but that’s what made Mastodon great, their energy, it just needed to be dialed in and Remission was that.
I still remember how giddy I was to see "Ex-Lethargy" attached to a band. I mean, I still prefer Lethargy, but the first few Mastodon releases definitely delivered.
I was more fond of the original EPs. These remasters fucked with my head in the way the guitars aren't as present, and the vocals are turned up. But still great nonetheless.
You know, whenever I say I haven't liked anything since Crack the Skye people act like I'm speaking blasphemy. Then I listen to this album and know they'll never understand.
Honestly though I can see some of their new stuff being a mixed bag. I personally enjoy most of it, but it's not everyone's cup of tea. Although Emperor of Sand looks fucking astounding. We'll see though.
Only stupid moral and social warriors over-praise new releases acting politically correct and bash fans who are actually honest and tell them the harsh truth: the old records are better. No other way around it.
The only thing that changed was the vocals, dudes. And they added more stuff to their sound. Stop being sich crybabies. Listen to Welcoming War and then to Andromeda. Similar vibe. Amazing band.
No. New stuff seems like alternative rock in several aspects. Stop being a social Warrior and open your eyes. In 10 years we'll be still listening to Leviathan. But Emperor or sand... Nobody will mention it.
first off.Mastodon is my favourite band. This album is far from bad,but in my opinon it suffers from crowded musical ideas and when that happens nothing reall stands out. Since human brain can only concentrate at 1 or 2 things at a time. The production is where it suffers most. Keep in mind again this is just my opinon i may be wrong. Drums are a bit too loud. Too manny frequencies colliding (this could be fixed with precise eq) Too much stuff happening in the drums(this is just Brann being Brann tho hahaaha)
I enjoy Mastodon's newer records, but the music they put out during their first decade is definitely my favorite. I wish they'd bring back some of the heavier elements in their songs.
Anyone know what albums these are drawn from? This is may be the heaviest single album I've been able to find, and it's a compilation... so maybe the source albums are even more of this good stuff! Please point me to them :)
These 9 songs originally made up Mastodon's first demo album, which featured Eric Saner on vocals. After he left the band, they re-recorded the vocals, and the new versions were released as the EPs "Slick Leg" and "Lifesblood." This compilation features the same recordings as those EPs, but the tracks were remastered and had samples removed for this release.
Funny, I always thought the beauty of music was being able to appreciate different styles and sounds, especially from the same band. It "happened' because they aren't scared to try new things and don't want to make the same album twice.
Funny thing is that from The Hunter they have started to create "more of the same", without trying to add something new to their sound. It's just an easy listening version of the Mastodon we used to know. You can't really compare the variety and the complexity of their first albums to their most recent songs. The main riff from Show Yourself is flat, dumb and simple. The only good thing I've heard recently is the last part of Andromeda. So, yeah, it seems to me that they ARE actually afraid to try new things.
Albums out now, Show Yourself doesn't even feel like it belongs on it. It's like Mastodon covered a QoTSA song and added it randomly to the tracklist. Not saying it's bad, but boy does it not mesh with the rest of the tracks.
Yeah. I've heard the new album and I have to agree. Show Yourself doesn't even seem to played by the same band. Emperor of Sand surprised me, in a good way. I think it's their best album since Crack the Skye. The songs are quite rich and sometimes you can even hear the old sludgy sound. Hinds has done an awesome work on the solos and they have added a lot of sound effects, psychedelic atmospheres, keyboards....
I agree, it's a great album with one average song thrown in.The thing with Mastodon is that they have such a rich and unique song catalogue that an average tune like Show Yourself seems bad, but only in direct comparison to the bands other work. If another band had released Show Yourself it'd likely be praised, but it just falls flat when compared to absolute gems like Word to the Wise and Jaguar God. There seems to be a lot of old school progressive and psychedelic rock influences on the album and Show Yourself just doesn't fit that tone and theme. I'd definitely put the album up there with CTS, it has their strongest closing song since The Last Baron and everything after track 2 flows beautifully.
+Vitor Heerdt JB was in diapers when this album dropped, and still sounds like a whiny infant. You look like an undigested peanut plucked from a turd, brought to life and covered with goat pubes.
I feel so bad for you. Seems like you go around in life neglecting some emotions like anger and intensity. If you can't completely understand something you just dismiss it. Have you ever even meditated about what the hell you're doing?
@@soullessSiIence Brother are you problematic? We understand, you don't like their new style, ok. People has opinions and you can't change it like that. Stop writing everyone who likes their new styles.
I enjoy all of Mastodon's work. And I appreciate that they aren't scared to try new things and not make the same album twice.
ryanexsus Yessir. They've changed in soo many ways and I appreciate all of it.
Agreed fully.
Imo, it's what makes a great band truly great. Being able to experiment and to do it well.
You can say that leviathan and blood mountains r the same album then...
But i'm not disappointed at all.......
you can make great albums with the same style and still be great tho, like High on Fire did
Battle At Sea is a pure war cry. This EP went straight for the neck, no album has topped in in aggression sense.
It's nice to have confidence in knowing that when a band releases something, you're going to love it. Mastodon will never let me down. You know a band is good when you want their entire catalog.
I can't believe Brann did the vocals on Battle At Sea
I was wondering who that was.
Ok which part tho? Theres like 3 different singing types on that song i think they are all singing
did brann do the growls? i always that that was bill

The riffs in "shadows that move" yessssss
mastodon were never sludge... never grind core post hard core slime... they were always, simply, MASTODON.
If you don't think they were sludge then you're objectivly wrong. Even Mastodon themselves will tell you that they were sludge.
Prog sludge master race
You could say it gave me a
boner

They are officially sludge/prog metal. Take your head out of your ass.
If Mastodon would release such an album now, I would be like "YEEEAHH". Absolutely awesome and heavy.
This time, this time, things will work out just fine yeah nah I’ll be over here thanks
This album was the first time I ever heard of Mastodon, way back in the early 2000's I believe. I had never heard of them and only got the album for the cover art. Glad I did though...
You, good sir, have a great intuition!
god bless relapse
Years and years listening this album and it still makes me stand up from my chair and shout
its this Brann most extreme drumming? he sounds possesed!
Listen to Today Is The Day's 'In the Eyes of God' album. Brann and Bill played on that record. Phenomenal stuff, so glad I was able to see that lineup play back in '99-00. I was forever a HUGE Brann fan after seeing that live!
Bst track ..."We Build this come death" , totall Awesome
8:30 It makes me feel like being Ahab jumping onto the Whale!
This shit is still fire. Love the wide variety of their music. Fucking tremendous artists.
I thought this was a live record, I just found out these are the first Mastodon's songs. This is absolutly killer :o dammmnn.. 😂
Its basically their first album, just combined their 2 EP's prior to Remission.
@@shillian4770 yes, and these same 9 songs make up Mastodon's first demo. The versions on the demo are different recordings with the band's original vocalist, Eric Saner.

Love the hyperlinks... youtubers out there learn from RelapseRecords! Also, MASTADOOOOON Fuck yeah! \m/
And, thus, Mastadon was born...crazy how they sound almost exactly the same now!!...just more refined...to me anyway
damn that brann can blast too! he is the complete drummer
Oh. Neurosis influence is prominent here.
Yep...
from looking at the cover album and the oroboros.... And the great sound obviously
A lot of Today Is The Day aswell
the opening of battles at sea👌
i FUCKING LOVE Every Shit of this Band , because they have something , NO Other Band has , i Swear
I´ve seen em Live before two weeks (my second time ) and i FREAKING LOVE THIS FUCKING GREAT BAND .
The Drums ..OMG ..Brann Dailor is 100% the Best FUCKING Drummer and together with TROY, BILL and BRENT ,they are the ABSOLUT Best Band in the Universe.

I mean ...COME ON !!!
I love this band, sounds really unique!
@Wolfgang Gunther
Neurosis?
Mmmhh 🤔, I know the name more than band itself!
Thanks I will listen carefully to this band! 👍
No joke, this came on next after a Weird Al song I was listening to. I haven’t listened to this album in a while, so I enjoyed the detour. Gotta love the UA-cam algorithm.
Masters of sludghe metal
This was the first Mastodon "Grimoire" I bought and my first contact with their "Magic Spells"!
Fuck yes!!!!!!! This is what I'm talking about!!!!
Battle at Fucking Sea, mate...
Tight. Neato.
this fucking songer is so a blood diamond
Soooo Heavy
Sad this doesn't have the samples played at the beginning of each song
probably couldn't get the samples cleared. I don't think it detracts too much from the album though
Good for their roots but a lot of it is too busy imo. Glad they got a more focused sound from Remission onward.
Yea Remission was the best possible progression from these songs, the way I usually describe this album is sonic schizophrenia it’s badass and really dark but a little too manic, but that’s what made Mastodon great, their energy, it just needed to be dialed in and Remission was that.
Battle At Sea. Best. Beats Lepanto, Trafalgar, Jutland, and Midway. And that says a lot.
hhheellll yeaaahhh....in mastodon we trust!!!!!
I like MASTODON, but i love them when SCOTT KELLY is involved
7:13 Damn, they aren't holding back.
here again, ma dudes
today and forever
Hehehe, that one time Mastodon wrote some stuff with blast beats. I wonder if they'll ever go there again?
Nah, they are popular now. They lost their balls along the way. They're prog rock now.
I still remember how giddy I was to see "Ex-Lethargy" attached to a band.
I mean, I still prefer Lethargy, but the first few Mastodon releases definitely delivered.
If you haven't heard it yet, Brann and Bill also play on the Today Is the Day album "In the Eyes of God."
Brann is SICK!! NO SE QUEDA NUNCA TRANQUILO EL CULIAO!!
*Stank face button* --> 24:46
The inception!
8:05 this is like tonydanzatapdanceextravaganza mixed with mastodon lol
YES!!! \m/
☆☆☆☆☆Mastodon ☆☆☆☆☆
like first Baroness and what they became.............................
You cut out the trials?

Fuck Yes

@@soullessSiIence I did see Mastodon yesterday in Stockholm and it was amazing
Never even liked crack the skye all that much... Sorry everyone.
ketigax gan!
Where are the voice samples?
Those are on their EPs.
Yes, and also on this album.
I believe somebody answered that question in the comments of one of the older videos. I can't remember off hand, but I'll look.
+SirRunk I know right! They are such good elements of the album! :(
+SirRunk You're looking for Lifesblood, the samples never existed on CotM
The only thing that changed was the vocals, dudes. And they added more stuff to their sound.
Stop being sich crybabies.
Listen to Welcoming War and then to Andromeda. Similar vibe.
Amazing band.
No. New stuff seems like alternative rock in several aspects. Stop being a social Warrior and open your eyes. In 10 years we'll be still listening to Leviathan. But Emperor or sand... Nobody will mention it.
@@soullessSiIence there's plenty of amazing tracks in Emperor of Sand.
HEV3H
Oh man, no samples?
all of the worked 40h weed at that time,. thats why the songs are so angry ! i heard it at loudwire, Troy said it !
SECURE AND CONTAIN
Where in the fucking FUCK is the 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' sample?
Im about to listen to this on a vinyl I bought a few years ago. Something awesome Im missing? Hope its on the vinyl. I love a proper placed sample.
Up
This remainsd me pantera early days,sorry my bad english.I would get some comments
Did you know Pantera had 4 albums before Cowboys From Hell? Definitely check out Power Metal from 1988.
what you all think is the best track?
“Thank You For This”
first off.Mastodon is my favourite band.
This album is far from bad,but
in my opinon it suffers from crowded musical ideas and when that happens nothing reall stands out.
Since human brain can only concentrate at 1 or 2 things at a time.

Deep Sea Creature starts out like System of a Down.
Everything pre oblivion is great...i sorry but i dont like the 'singing mastodon' that is now

que bueno que cambiaron el estilo,es iposible de disfrutar esto ...
Whaddya know, Mastodon used to be good
And their fans used to be tools. 😂
Too bad mastodon hella fell off after making crack the skye.
What are you smoking? "Jaguar God" from Emperor of Sand is easily one of their best
The Tommy Ramone no drum fills thing just doesn't work here. Lazy.
I’m hearing fills all over this album, that’s Branns trademark he’s the master of tasty fills.
@@shillian4770 it was a joke.

more like limp bizkit and mudvayne
more like Justin bieber meets psychosocial
More like Taproot meets Lynyrd Skynyrd
