    Lyrics:
    Show yourself
    Show yourself
    I want to see everything you're made of
    Tear it down and rip it out
    Shed your skin and float it down the river
    Lose yourself
    Lose yourself
    Wild horses ride you through the valley
    Come alive
    Come alive
    Sail into the void without your worries
    You're not as safe as far as I can tell
    And I can tell
    Only you can save yourself
    Soon this will all be a distant memory
    Or could this dream be real at all?
    Stars align
    Stars align
    Stars can fall and get you into trouble
    Be afraid
    Don't be afraid
    Speak the ancient wisdom of the desert
    You're not as safe as far as I can tell
    And I can tell
    Only you can save yourself
    Soon this will all be a distant memory
    Or could this dream be real at all?
    Show yourself
    Show yourself
    I wanna see everything you're made of
    Reveal yourself
    Reveal yourself
    The truth will send a ripple through your body
    See your fate
    You'll see your fate
    Death will come and steal you from the living
    Dead and gone
    Dead and gone
    I'll see you on the other side of fire

    I fucking love that on every album cycle these guys could have easily made another Leviathan or Blood Mountain but they instead go with where they are at in their lives and try something new. "Yeah we used to make pulverizing crusty behemoths, now we are making a concept album with a power-pop tune - if you don't like it, there are plenty of other bands out there".

    Fun fact: In lore the Reaper doesn't decided who lives or dies. Nor is he there to judge you. His job is to guide the soul to were ever it is meant to go. That's why i never understood why people make him out as a gloomy guy. Not his fault you died. Maybe we are wrong and he is the coolest SOB out there. Maybe get to have a few beers with him before we head off to eternity.

Not everyone is gonna pull a Cannibal Corpse and make the same exact music for decades. This song is still Mastodon...its just super groovy. It might not be Blood Mountain or Leviathan, OBVIOUSLY, but you can tell its them. Its a fun little track, and this music video is awesome. Love you guys. Thanks for the great music.

      I promise you, no one in the metal music industry gives a fuck about a fan's critical opinions. Bands like Mastodon make music that they wanna hear, not music that the fans wanna hear. Anyone can criticize a band, it's the easiest fucking thing to do. But not everyone can actually make music like this. This isn't a fucking service to the fans. That shit belongs in pop music. That's why you just take a band for the music they put out or just don't listen to them. And what's so funny about saying they're among the best in the genre? I certainly cannot even think to make music like this. Can you?

      I didn't say that they do or should care about my opinion.
      I haven't paid for any of their music since The Hunter, which drove me out away from seriously listening to them.
      I don't and don't need to make music to have a valid opinion.

      +null father You're literally bitching about the band on every comment you can claiming you haven't enjoyed the since The Hunter. You're entitled to criticism, but why do you care so much??? You claim to be done with them, that they're dead, but you can't let them go.

    • @nullfather7872
      @nullfather7872 7 років тому +1

      I listen to pretty much any metal. Doesn't mean I can't have an opinion about them and having a negative opinion doesn't mean that it's somehow hypocritical to talk about them.
      I did let them go with The Hunter. Stopped paying for any of their music.

  • @corywashburn
    @corywashburn 7 років тому +370

    This is "Emperor of Sand"'s "Oblivion". All the other songs are more proggy. All the metal elitists are pissed off because there's one song that's catchy as hell, but everyone else realizes how amazing this record is as a whole. If the whole album sounded like "Show Yourself", I could agree with the elitists, but that ain't the case. Mastodon just upped their game for the 6th time in my opinion.

    • @VVinstonSmit

      "Metal elitists". Could you at least TRY to represent the critics fairly instead of just dismissing them? To me and a lot of others, Emperor of Sand sounds like a watered down version of what Mastodon typically does. I feel like anyone could've wrote this song, and that's a first for me. Am I an elitist now?

    • @thatsprettylunchean
      @thatsprettylunchean 5 років тому +16

      I read mountains of shit about this album, about it being " really poppy " and " bland ".
      I started to listen to Mastodon' music (like, their discography) like 2 weeks ago, i knew about them because of " Leviathan " (an album i really loved) years ago. And on my way listening to their albums, i really was avoiding this album because of the " true fans criteria ".
      I listen to like 3 songs of Emperor of Sands and you know what i have to say?? I have to say that you, " true fans ", you " experts ", are just whiny idiots that want this band to make Leviathan and Remission 100 times.
      If you thing that any crappy band on the fetid actual metal/rock scene can write a song the way Mastodon do it, then i have to say, FUCK OFF.

    • @someguy9469

      Except Oblivion is experimental as hell, dissonant chords, complex time signatures, different vocal lines done by different members . This is just a fairly straight forward rock song, if anything it's this album's "High Road" and there is nothing wrong about that.

Yes, their sound and direction has changed but so has many other great bands. You can't pigeonhole yourself musically and artistically. As a musician myself, I play a genre of music that is far from what I enjoy listening too. It's maturity. Good music is good music. Plain and simple. I'm a metalhead through and through and guess what? I also love me some Jamiroquai, Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake and Bruno Mars. Shoot me.
