Hi S!!!! so cool to see you back and doing a great unboxing.... Don't know a lot about Mastodon, something didn't click with me back in the day, but it's a band i really want to try again. Btw the chair looks awesome too. cheers and be well
Thanks Cristian, I really appreciate that! They are a band that have evolved a lot over the years, so there's a strong chance that you may find something in their catalogue nowadays that pulls you in. I certainly hope so, as they're a fantastic band! I hope you're well? Cheers! 🤘
Cracked the entrance….I shuddered. What a cool boxset with a great booklet. I’ve never seen an album cover magnet of that size like that. I like the gold vinyl so I need you to like it too!!! Then you’ll love your purchase even more.
Haha, I don't HATE the gold vinyl as much as I expected to! Will that do? 😂 The magnets are actually push-out sections of the art on that sheet. They're cool, but I feel like it'd be a shame to break up the overall piece. I guess I COULD stick the whole thing on my fridge! 😂 Cheers! 🤘
Great unboxing of the new Mastodon Crack the Skye anniversary boxset Si! The set itself looks fantastic, you get quite a lot of cool stuff with it too! This is one of my favourite Mastodon albums, I think I had it no.3 on my ranking. It's definitely their most proggy album. The gold vinyl looks pretty cool I think, really goes with the aesthetic of the boxset. Nice one man 😊🤘🏻
Thanks Josh. Yeah, I can see what you mean about the gold vinyl. Still not the biggest fan, though, tbh! 😂 It's an absolute belter. Took me a bit of time to get my head around it, as it was their first with the clean vocals, but it's right up there for me now! Cheers! 🤘
@BeardyRedViking You're welcome mate! Yeah, it does kinda go with the set but that's fair enough if you're not a fan! 😁🤣 Yeah, it's a fantastic album! That's fair enough, I can understand if you were only used to waht came before it would be a bit of a drastic change. Because I had most of them all at the same time it wasn't as much of a change. But definitely an album that gets better with repeated listens 😁🤘🏻
Good to see you, brother. The artwork throughout that box set is stunning. I agree for the price you would think they'd have included the CD version, but they know us collector scum will still buy it 😂 Enjoy your tunes. See you soon, brother 🤘
Thanks, man. About time I got my arse in gear and posted one! 😂 Yeah, I was pretty miffed when I found out the CD version wasn't included, but as you say, they have us figured out! Bastards! 😂 Cheers! 🤘
Hahahahaha, can't argue with a bargain like that, can ya? Especially when it'll cost me pretty close to that amount if - as is likely - I decide I do indeed need the CD version of this in my life! 🙈 Liiv hasn't shut up about it since we got it. She's incredibly proud of her bargain-hunting skills! 🤣 Thanks for watching dude, as always. Cheers! 🤘
I prefer cold weather as it's easier for me to get warm than to cool down when it's really hot but yeah it's not good on the old joints. That armchair is well good, we have a couple of charity shops in the next town which are full of furniture and stuff and most of it is well decent. Nice boxset but I'd have wanted a cd with it 😉 Hope the back ain't too bad today mate 🍻
Thanks for watching and commenting, dude! Yeah, I'm with you. I'd much rather be too cold than too hot (better to put a jumper on than get my tits out 😂), but the cooler weather definitely causes me pain these days! 😭 The chair was an absolute STEAL! We'll definitely be getting our money's worth out of it! Agreed on the lack of a fucking CD. Proper miffed! 😡 Cheers! 🤘
Now then now then beardy me old son that chair is banging pal great pick up no black versions though 😝 not a big mastodon fan maybe that will change if I allow you to play some mate 🤪 I I know you love them so well happy for you to have that boxset in your collection brother enjoy dude 🤘🏻🍺
Thanks man, the chair is an absolute banger, just like this album! Liiv hasn't shut up about it since we picked it up! I'll see what I can do to draw you into the wonderful world of Mastodon when I'm down in a few weeks' time! Cheers! 🤘
That album is a big favourite of most fans. I love the first track Oblivion. Especially the lyrics. I've listened to the album once years ago and tbh it seemed like I'd need to put a bit more than the usual effort into so I didn't go back to it. I'm probably in the minority with my favourites from 2014 and 2017. Hope you're feeling better soon with the back bare there's nothing worse
Thanks for watching and commenting, Mike! I struggled a bit with this one when it first came out, mainly due to the clean vocals, which took me by surprise. Well worth investing the time in though, for sure. I am also a huge fan of their more recent material. The Hunter and Once More Round The Sun, in particular, are HUGELY underrated by a lot of people. In my eyes, they've never put a foot wrong. Absolutely incredible band. Cheers! 🤘
Haha, you're not wrong. A comfy chair and a nice boxset are a SUPERB way to spend the day! Shame you don't like them, but thanks for watching, all the same, and I can't say it's hugely surprising! 😂 At the end of the day, we can't all like the same things! Cheers! 🤘
Man, you REALLY do! In fact, I'll see if I have any dupes, and if so, send some over to you. They're an absolutely phenomenal band, who have a lot of material out, but never rest on their laurels and stick with what they've done before. All the best bands are like that, in my opinion. Cheers! 🤘
Interesting how we're starting to see obis on Western pressings now too. Nice package.... THE RECORD! :D I saw them open for Metallica on the Death Magnetic Tour (or was it on the Hardwired Tour?). Excellent performance.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Kim! It's an excellent album, so I'm very pleased to have added this to the collection! Yeah, it's cool that we're starting to see them over in the west now, but I still don't think they're as cool as the authentic, Japanese ones! Awesome that you got to see both Mastodon and Metallica at the same show. I had that privilege once too, at Wembley Stadium, back in 2007! Cheers, and have a great weekend! 🤘

Awesome unboxing of Mastodon's Crack the Skye 15th Anniversary edition. Definitely looks like a lot went into it.
Thanks Tony. Yeah, it's a great little set, with some stunning artwork. Still seething about the lack of the CD version inside it, though! 🤣
Cheers! 🤘

Thanks for watching and commenting. It's a great little boxset. Enjoy, dude!
Cheers! 🤘
Nevermind the boxset… what about that chair for £40… who doesn’t love a bargain eh, lol. Always good to see you mate… ‘ComfyRedViking’😉🤘🏻

Comfy chair and a box set, can't beat that. As you know, not a fan of Mastadon, but nice set. Love a proper booklet. Cheers. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Very cool set Mate …I still need to sit down and check them out
But that’s a really nice set 🤘
