Mastadon really is just alright. I was at the Palladium show last week and I wasn't exactly blown away.

yeah, crazy overrated.
lifesblood and remission blow this bands recent releases out of the water IMO.

oh come on, the guitar work, crazy?
drumming, is good.
guitar work is okay, but nothing special, they are not virtuoso's or anything.
Nothing special? The riffs are amazing, as are the leads. It's good, soild guitar work that actually complements the song, not flashy crap. Their style is completely original, instantly recognizable, and the most metal thing to come along in years.

Likety_Split said:In my opinion Mastodon is one of the most creative metal bands to come out in a decade. Brutally heavy and not trying to follow any sort trends. If you like Brain's drums on Mastodon, check him out on Today is the Day.
I thought it was pretty amusing that they completely left out that entire chunk of history on their DVD, no mention of Today is the Day whatsoever.

I hate them because I think they're terrible, boring, and the vocals suck. I don't know what explanation anyone expects out of me, I don't like them. They do nothing for me. That's the beginning and end of it.
[Sep 20,2006 10:31am - DreamingInExile ""]
and you're entitled to your opinion Pam
I thouroughly enjoyed this album, and I hope they keep up the great work with their future material...
speaking of which, I'm gonna go spin this disc again.
actually... no... the new Borknagar is begging for another listen first

i back that Pam. i heard some of the new stuff, and its just as boring and mundane as the earlier stuff. when i see the name Mastodon, i think of something GIGANTIC in sound thats ultra heavy and crushing. not necessarily death metal, something almost like Warhorse. but to me they just fail to deliver. the vocals are terrible too. and no not because they arent death metal, i just dont care for them.
[Sep 20,2006 10:47am - Likety_Split ""]
Mastodon not crushing? Are we listening to the same band? Their sound is nothing but heavy and crushing; monolithic, destructive, with some beauty and southern flavor thrown in. Everyone's entitled to thier opinion, as long as they pay hommage to the sickest most creative band out right now.
Whoever was arguing about where they're from, Brainn and Bill are from Rochester, NY and Brent and Troy are from GA. They all live in GA now.
[Sep 20,2006 11:08am - HailTheLeaf ""]
I've been to GA, and there's no way in hell I'd ever live there...then again the same can be said for Rochester, NY. The main verse in "This Mortal Soil " sounds like something Isis wishes they'd written.
[Sep 20,2006 11:10am - dreadkill ""]
there's no point in arguing about this. some people are going to like it and some are going to hate it. who really gives a shit?

its a message board thats all there is to do on here, if there was no point in it people wouldnt bother going into threads where they clearly dont like the band and state that.
forums rule
[Sep 20,2006 11:27am - dreadkill ""]
there's other things to do on forums, like joke around, post fucked up pictures, post interesting links and articles. there's no point in trying to change someone's mind to make them hate or like a band. you either like how the band sounds or you don't. why argue about it?

Mastadon = Most over rated band in metal today.

That, and they always play with bands I like too. I've had to sit through them twice live. They should give Mastadon records to insomniacs. Soooo fucking boring. Nothing there whatsoever to make me stop wishing they would get the fuck off the stage.
Why are they a "metal" band anyways? Nothing heavy about them at all.
[Sep 20,2006 11:43am - Likety_Split ""]
First of all its spelled Mastodon. Second of all I can appreciate that people have thier own taste in music, but some of the Mastodon bashing is just crazy. Just because thier riffs are actually distinguishable and melodic and not fuckin noise like most people like on here, doesn't mean they're overrated.

Exactly. I've sat through them twice, too. It was unbearable.
And I don't have to pay "homage" to them, or anyone.

Looking at your playlist, your opinion on music is shit. You should not be allowed on this forum. Stick to being hot.

I've been on this forum a lot longer than you have, cupcake.

i dunno, mastodon is pretty flat sounding in my opinion. i see them as like a less catchy and less appealing Amon Amarth. Something like that anyway.

Why don't you stick to being in a band with a goofy name that swings from Pantera's collective ballbag.

You are correct. That doesn't make your opinion valid. The lice on my balls have better taste in music. I hear they're big pubic louse fans.

I need to go buy the album in question.

For about 30 seconds until I couldn't take it anymore. :pukeface:
Let's see...you have Lamb of Gay on your list, and I have Judas Priest on mine. You have Mastodon on yours and I have Tankard on mine.
Yep. I win.

I love Judas Priest's music but R. Halford's voice sucks. He's a legend and I know I'll get bashed for this but I can't take it. Music is sick though.

I hear alot of Lamb of God bashing on this forum and I just don't get it. Is it becuase their new album did well or becuase they got a bit more melodic. That guitar work is amazing.
[Sep 20,2006 12:49pm - pam ""]
It's because they're the most boring band to have ever walked the Earth.
[Sep 20,2006 12:52pm - dreadkill ""]
it's because they sound like pantera without the memorable songwriting.

They're alright, my problem with Lamb Of God is that they keep blatently stealing old Sepultura and Slayer riffs...I'd rather just listen to old Sepultura.
[Sep 20,2006 12:59pm - pam ""]
so to summarize...they suck.
[Sep 20,2006 1:01pm - HailTheLeaf ""]
There are by far worse bands on headbanger's ball than Lamb Of God though

Mastodon is crap. I have tried over and over to listen to their music and I have compiled a list of shit that I don't like about it.
1.) Not one of their songs hit a high point anywhere. No crescendo at all. It's always the same monotonous drudge.
2.) There is no difficult riffing anywhere in any of their songs that I have ever heard.
3.) They dye their hair.
4.) Hail The Leaf likes them.
Due to all of these reasons....I hate this band and their shitty music.

they dye thier hair? yeah...they're a very stylish looking band. they look like fuckin' plumbers. Is that a new style being embraced by the kids?

She has Tankard, Judas Priest, and Carnivore.
You have Isis, Lamb of God, and Pantera.
You've sucked more dick than she has.
