    They have that rare quality like Tool of being utterly fascinating, they require a fair amount of work as a listener in order to fully ‘ get it ‘ and I have to say I’m nowhere near yet but it’s a great journey of discovery and they’re edging up my list of favourite bands

  • @Hola-tq4pg

    Here's my rank
    *1. Leviathan:* Yep, that's right, I actually prefer Leviathan to Crack the Skye, the main reason is that Leviathan has arguably some of the greatest riffs I have ever listened in metal, Hearts Alive is tied with the Czar as my favorite Mastodon songs, the concept is amazing, this is pretty much a flawless album for me
    *2. Crack the Skye:* I mean if it wasn't number one, it was still in the top, just like Leviathan, this album is flawless and every song has it's own charm and they just got better every single time I listen to it, the Only reason why it isn't at #1 is because I love Leviathan so much
    *3. The Hunter:* Yep that's right, the Hunter is at #3, personally I don't understand the hate at all, listening to it and it's kind of similar to Crack the Skye (minus the prog elements), honestly if Crack the Skye is Mastodon's Master of Puppets, The Hunter is their Black album, and since I also love the Black album, i'm completely okay with this one
    *4. Remission:* I listened to this one after Leviathan and since I loved the former I also became really obsessed with this one, love the sludgy and raw sound of it, the Only thing that doesn't really stand compared to the rest it's that is not as consistent as the other ones
    *5. Blood Mountain:* So this is an akward one by how low it is, but I still love this album, I love how this album sums the transition from Leviathan to Crack the Skye, I guess the Only reason why it isn't higher it's because the second half of the album is not as strong with me as the rest, but still a killer album
    *6. Emperor of Sand:* At first I thought this was their weaker album, but re listening to it, it just keeps getting better, even if at times I feel this album tries to be The Hunter 2.0, but since I like the latter, I don't feel nothing wrong with it
    *7. Once More Round the Sun:* the Only problem I had with this one is that it starts in a high note but gets weaker, although Ember City and Halloween are bangers, but the first half overshadows the second one by a long margin
    *8. Hushed and Grim:* i'm trying to get into this one and I really want to get into it, but so far is not really holding up well, specially with how amazingly long the album is, even then I wouldn't call it terrible, just a weird album

    Love all of their albums..
    But I like.. Mastadon albums in this order as well as my ratings for each of these albums.
    1) Cracke The Skye (10/10)
    2) Hunter (8/10)
    3) Emperor Of Sand (8.5/10)
    4) Once More Round The Sun (8.8/10)
    5) Blood Mountain (7.5/10)
    In that order.. Leviathan and Remissions are probably like 7/10 for me imo.

    The only song I've heard by them was Colony of Birtchmen. I also think their cover of Orion by Metallica is pretty good. The only thing I don't like about that cover, is how they rewrote the solo's.

    2.) Blood Mountain( definitely their best album in terms of musical Technicality

    4.) Leviathan ( better then Remission but retains that same sound)
    5.) Emperor of sand( all around good album but it’s in the middle and can’t decide what sound it wants)

    I was really pleased with hushed and grim. There are only 2 songs on it that I don't like, and probably will eventually. The 2 previous albums were a bit throwaway for me. Less intricate and complex. It's very diverse and has so many hooks. Mastodon have the edge as far as keeping me interested in terms of vocals purely for the variety in have 3 different vocalists. They will never return to that primal roar of the first 2 records (unfortunately in my opinion) due to the evolution and growth musically, but they are without doubt the most important band of this century for my ears. Hushed and grim is a belting return to form. Mastodons worse albums would be many band's best. They are that good 🤘

    I was actually learning The Czar and Sleeping Giant on guitar today, a lot to remember! Blood Mountain and Crack the Skye are easily their best albums, the creativity of the riffs and transitions are just unbelievable. The main thing they've lost in the modern era is the ability to make the perfect transitions between parts. Hushed and Grim has a lot of good moments but the parts they put together don't flow well and the pacing is all over the place. I still enjoy listening to their new stuff but it's nowhere near as epic as CtS and BM. Also sorry Emperor of Sands is last, I just find that I never go back to it even though I liked it initially.

      I love that song because of its place on the record. It's the slowest friendliest song on the record and is followed by the most aggressive song Spectrelight. That's the biggest strength of that record. It has so much diversity, and the songs kind of cascade so well that the record is infectiously replayable. Hunter is a beautiful song, and Sparrow is just so asmr imo. I love it.

That song just moves me in a way I can't really explain.
