Mastadon:Blood Mountain

[thenailmc]

It's really good.

[Casey Burns]

the best heavy shit in the past 15 years always seems to come from georgia. harvey milk, mastodon. good stuff.

[ben swift]

having listened to it a few times... I don't like it as much as Leviathan...
the singing is too... sing-y and not enough growly
and all that shitty pitch shifting gibberish and sound effects are ... gey

aside from that the songs are solid and I can't wait to see them play this stuff live, I just am not a fan of the sound of the recording... and some choices made in the studio.

[Jeph]

I'm actually digging the "singing" a bit, there's still plenty of growling going on...the CD grows on me with every listen. The song writing is stellar...



...ayup.

[micro]

awwwww, shit. jeph, hook a fellow masshole up!

[Jeph]

That's illegal.

[B-DROID]

See, I liked the "singy" songs on Leviathan. Like Seabeast. Killer.

Sooooo......anyone wanna help me get an opinion on the new stuff???

[ben swift]

tour dates are up on Mastodon's site - closest to me are Lawrence KS on a monday and Denver on a tuesday... looks like Lawrence wins for (short) 3 hr drive. dang. last time through they were in omaha. easy 40 min. drive.

[HOT DAMN!]

Mastodon/Converge/The Bronx.....that's one wicked show!
