Mastodon - Crack The Skye Whateverprrech...[views:6285][posts:42]_______________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 10:43am - JustinSteele ""] Not into it. Anyone else? I just found it completely underwhelming. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 10:45am - dreadkill ""] i haven't gotten it yet. i like all of mastodon's stuff, but didn't get into blood mountain as much as previous albums. i hope it's good because my daughter's name is skye. |
| _____________________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 10:45am - MikeOvDecrepitvde ""] The artwork is amazing, the musical content is not. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 10:46am - brian_dc ""] you want your daughter to get cracked I totally hated it I liked the song with Scott Kelly on it because I'm a Neurosis faggot. but otherwise I was left not caring. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 10:46am - W3 nli ""] yeah didnt dig on most of BM and the first track from this new album def didnt blow my hair back at all. good band is now bad |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 10:49am - JustinSteele ""] I wanted to like it. It's different, and that's not the reason I dislike it, but it doesn't help. Just didn't give me the same visceral reaction I've had to their other material. Might be because they went all singing, no yells really at all. I liked when they mixed that in but it wasn't dominating. I don't even think the riffs are that great and the drumming is not nearly as chaotic (which was one of the things I loved about previous albums). That dude never calmed down and it was awesome. Eh, maybe after another few listens I'll be into it but right now it is doing nothing for me. |

| ___________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 11:06am - nick327 ""] This is hugely disappointing compared to their other stuff. There's just nothing to suck you in, no crushing yet catchy riffs and the drumming feels held back quite a bit. I'm not gonna fault them for trying something different as I'm sure there is an audience for this. Maybe those of you who are into more sludge/stoner stuff will dig it? Still one of my favorite bands, but I'll probably skip seeing them on their current tour seeing as they're only playing stuff from the new album (or so I've heard). |
| _____________________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 11:08am - MikeOvDecrepitvde ""] "Millenarian" wipes the floor with Mastodon. Such an underrated album. |

| _____________________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 11:10am - MikeOvDecrepitvde ""] I've always preferred Lethargy, as opposed to Mastodon. At least they never started to suck. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 11:12am - Murph ""] Yeah, I've got the Lethargy discography thing 93'-99' It's fucking awesome. Super riffs/drumming/style. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 11:16am - darkwor ""] I haven't heard it yet, but all singing and holding back on the drums is what I feared Mastodon would turn into. One of the first actual metal bands I really got into (aside from Metallica etc.) with Remission, inspired me to hit my drums harder. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 11:16am - W3 nli ""] im still gonna go cause i enjoy Intronaut and think they'll sound huge at the HOBs plus i mean Kylesa's new record is great stuff too. |

Intronaut was sweet live, but their new record makes me angry. The material is pretty awesome, but whoever engineered/produced it is a fucking tard, and sucked all the tone and rawness from it. It sounds like an Into Eternity shit prog/metal album, which is the completely wrong production those guys need. They are way too heavy and droney for that. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 11:21am - W3 nli ""] i think that left the band when Leon split. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 11:21am - brian_dc ""] that's what happens when you sign with Century Media |
| __________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 11:22am - W3 nli ""] lol |
| __________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 11:23am - RustyPS ""] Intronaut frustrates me....they somehow bore me even though every song is intriguing....which I know makes no sense, but that's what happens when I listen to them |
| __________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 11:24am - W3 nli ""] yeah please see the Ocean |
| __________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 11:25am - RustyPS ""] I actually really like The Ocean, but only after I saw them live |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 11:25am - brian_dc ""] pantheon of the lesser was super edit...lol...I wasn't trying to be a jackass, I actually thought you meant Ocean |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 11:27am - ouchdrummer ""] lame, lamo lamo |
| __________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 11:29am - darkwor ""] The Ocean lives up to their name. Blew me away live. |

| __________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 11:32am - RustyPS ""] darkwor said:The Ocean lives up to their name. Blew me away live.same here yet again I think what it was is that they pulled off that full sound live without all the instruments they have on record....that was thoroughly impressive |
| _____________________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 11:37am - MikeOvDecrepitvde ""] I was disappointed with Pantheon of the Lesser, but I need to give it more chances. Here Where Nothing Grows was fucking grim; one of the best albums to come out of NE in a long time. I've seen Intronaut a bunch of times and could never get into them. Also could never understand why The Ocean always gets compared to Neurosis and ISIS. It doesn't make any sense. |

| _______________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 11:42am - JustinSteele ""] Really though, who didn't have the highest hopes for them when they released that gem? |

It doesn't make any sense. yeah i dont see that at all, maybe towards newer isis but def negatory on the neurosis front |

| _________________________________ [Mar 19,2009 5:29pm - W3 nli ""] yeah just listened, its very not good. |
| _________________________________ [Mar 24,2009 4:26pm - darkwor ""] I just listened to a couple songs, I dig it, I like the vocals, no it's not the same Mastodon, but if this is what Metallica worshipers listen to now, that's cool. Will download. |
| _________________________________ [Mar 24,2009 4:27pm - RustyPS ""] I listened to it for the first time sometime last week, and I didn't like it I'll listen some more to see if it sinks in, which is what I had to do to enjoy Leviathan |

| ______________________________________ [Mar 24,2009 4:43pm - BlackoutRick ""] Wow. I thought Mastodon could do no wrong. Also, I'm diggin the new Intronaut. Very good bass work. |
| ______________________________ [Mar 24,2009 8:50pm - BSV ""] Mastodon = Hype |
| _____________________________________ [May 30,2009 12:13pm - arilliusbm ""] listened to it front to back recently and it has grew on me. still not huge on the vocals and the production seems a little fuzzy at times but I'll take it. best track on it is the 1st one (Oblivion) |
| __________________________________ [May 30,2009 12:18pm - reimroc ""] i don't think anything can top leviathan in my mind. |
| ________________________________________ [May 30,2009 2:32pm - jebus crispex ""] I really like this album, but I totally understand why other people don't. It's definitely not the Remission era Mastodon we all know and love, but I went into it knowing that it would be more of a rock album than anything. It's definitely gotten a lot more hype than it deserves, but this guy enjoys it! |
| ______________________________________ [May 30,2009 10:19pm - The_Rooster ""] First two songs are MEH. Track 3 sucks jizm. 4, 5, and 6 are quality. 7 is gay. That's my review. |
