Fun Stuff > BAND
Today I present you with the album art of the next Mastodon album.
Hat:
I was actually really digging the intro to the track but it really lost me at that jarring change of pace.
Really like the stonery kind of bits to the song but the bits where they're just riffing bored the shit out of me, which is ridiculous because Mastodon have always just been about the most riffular riffs, being riffed as fast as they can with some fast drumming and ridiculous lyrics.
It's just that Mastodon have a good history of really kicking my arse with their first track and this doesn't do it, which makes me hella skeptical but I will give the whole album a chance.
Lummer:
True, it is a very big departure from their usual way of starting albums (I mean... Crusher Destroyer ferchrissakes!), but I like it a lot. Being a huge prog dork, this new direction makes me real happy in my pants.
Hat:
Yeah the vocal style doesn't actually sound good objectively to my ears but it is pushing the big red prog button in my brain despite the song being pretty uninteresting for the most part, which is why I'm going to still give the album a shot, but the changes in tempo are just really obnoxious and I am worried they just sat down and had a meeting and listed a bunch of things they could do to be proggier and this was one of them.
Lummer:
Call me crazy, but aren't there more tempo changes in the older stuff? I mean, listen to the Lifesblood EP, that's just pure insanity.
Hat:
It's not the quantity of changes but rather that in this song it just sounds terrible whenever they do it.
