    Default Mastodon - Crack the Skye

    So a new Mastodon CD came out, and from what I've heard its different from there other stuff, but still very good. Just wondering what everyone else thought?

    been a follwer since remission came out

    all I can say is that they have softened up quite a bit now that theyve been on a major label

    While some may like it, I dont really enjoy the way theyre music is headed

    that being said... the album kicks ass go buy it people 8)

    I once fell in love with a girl when she told me how captivated she was by the 'Leviathan' album artwork.



    Ah, memories.

    They were completely off my radar until I saw the video for divinations recently -- about 3:30 in the morning zoning out flippin channels and I really dug it.
    From the sounds of it I should give a listen to some of the earlier stuff.

    Coming from a frame of reference of just the newest album, they remind me alot of earlier Hypocrisy, trippy outter space metal.. good stuff imo.

    yea the new stuff is out there but the older #### is more thrash

    Ive worn this one shirt I got back In 2003 when I saw them play at Slim's in SF. Back then and up to around 05 thay talked about only playing small shows and now theyre on tour with Metallica. Go Figure

    Noone has said anything about it till now when some 12 yr old was like "Crack the Skye bro"

    they have really gone mainstream but I guess that doesnt matter much, it was inevitable
    I just wish they wouldve worked with a producer with a more metal background

    I still think they rule regardless

    I haven't listened to much, but I can agree with most of what's been said already. I got the impression of more vocals and less ridiculous guitar/drum work but still the Mastodon creativity.

    I just watched the video for "Divinations" and a live video for "Oblivion."

    My impressions of the new Mastodon are that they've gone and embraced their more prog rock roots. I miss heavy as #### songs like "March of the Fire Ants" and "Mother Puncher"...
