I absolutely adore how this just feels like we’re sitting at a dinner table and you’re charting this out for us
I feel so chill listening to this, your like Fantano but emotionally stable
I never felt that about Fantano
thought this was gonna be a video on big elephants. was pleasantly surprised.
Fake fan. Name 5 of really big elephant's albums
If you’re worried about their new album “Hushed and Grim” being bad, you will be pleasantly surprised, then feel a gut punch, then cry, then get hit in the gut again. It’s genuinely that powerful, and I highly recommend it to any fans new or old!
i haven’t heard all of mastodon’s work, but out of what i have heard, hushed and grim might be my favorite
Hushed and grin was their best since crack the Sky, and some of the tracks were REALLY fantastic like the closer.
I've never listed to Mastodon, but now I'm discovering it while watching your video stopping after every album you mention and listening to it. Your work is amazing dude keep it up like that
I've always referred to mastodon as "angry jazz."
personally i think the best album to start on is blood mountain. it has all of the best of mastodon imo. it has the heavy, the proggy, and the cleany.
As someone who's only ever heard other people talk about how good Mastodon is, this was a fantastic watch. Keen to dive in!
Your voice is kinda soothing. I love you describing a artists progression of their career. Subbed
Hoping to see more metal, and underrated artists. But I really want to see Opeth here.
Fav song from every studio Mastodon Album:
Remission: Mother Puncher
Leviathan: Megalodon
Call of the Mastodon: Shadows that Move
Blood Mountain: Capillarian Crest
Crack The Skye: The Last Baron
The Hunter: Dry Bone Valley
Once More 'Round The Sun: High Road
Emperor of Sand: Andromeda
Hushed and Grim: Teardrinker
My new favorite music TH-camr, love your content and your impeccable taste, cheers!
This video is like Leviathan, perfect. After Pushing the Tides I got hyped, if they are really going for Fallen Torches style the new album will be amazing.
~ I don't really like the "popy" Mastodon too but they know how to make pop metal. And there's still great songs like The Ruiner, Diamond in the Witch House and Roots Remain that are super underrated.
I had trouble getting into mastodon until once more round the sun. After that, they just kind of clicked and made sense all of a sudden.
Seeing this after your nsbm video earned you my sub. Keep up the good work!
Regarding OMRTS.. man, I feel like people sleep on Diamond in the Witch House. That track CRUSHES.
I started with remission, than leviathan; those two got me into the group :)
wow. I don't get what people don't like about Emperor. I argue its one of their top 5 albums.
and this review is way off on it.
but hey, as long as more people are listening to Dirty B hinds I'm good.
I also don't understand the hate for the hunter either, their more "accessible" sound there was some of the most ambitious writing they've ever accomplished.
@@alexbrown4426 ayo🕺
Fully agree, this is one of my favorite albums of theirs. I do think I'm biased after watching the making of documentary and knowing what cancer is like. But still dude this album fucking slaps and gets the weirdest amount of hate even though it has some of the best songs they've ever put out (in my opinion)
@@jameswameling4443 interesting.
@@jameswameling4443 I agree. Prolly. Something about those songs I like. I attributed a Little of this vibe is from Brendan O'Brian
Wow dude, just discovered your channel through polyphonic. And I can't wait to see you blow up! The quality of your videos is fantastic
I'm already into Mastodon.
Hold up I gotta download this into my bloodstream
I've always found The Hunter criminally underrated honestly. Leviathan is the absolute best thing they've done though.
My favorite band of all time for the impact they had on me when I discovered them.
They go hard. Simple as
Idk I guess everyone has their own opinions. The Hunter is one of my favorite albums and is my personal favorite from the band. Like Blood Mountain and Leviathan, the songwriting and lyrics weren’t overworked or over thought. They were fun and felt like the band had a really good playing and recording them. But we can both agree that Emperor of Sand was their worst.
Great video.
I would have suggested Blood Mountain as the intro to newbies precisely because of all the reasons you gave........it literally has music that encapsulates every genre they have played.
Agree that it's hard to pick Leviathon or CTS as their best.
Awesome video! Im so glad you mentioned halloween on OMRTS such an underrated Mastodon album.
Big Question, which category does the new album fit in?
All parts blended quite well but not too evenly, the band stated they don’t want to move backwards, its mostly Prog with elements of Hook and Heavy. Pretty much all fans from the different groups are claiming it, so you know it’s really good.
Proggy as F IMHO. Great album.
Hated Emperor of Sand but other than that album, most of their discography is very solid
Remission is so underrated
My 3 categories are: Sludgey & Wild, remission and call. The freeform years: hunter and omrts. Then the proggy concept albums - leviathan, blood, cts, EoS, and Hushed. I feel like pairing EoS with Hunter and OMRTS feels off to me. Show Yourself is the only really weird song in comparison to their normal sound. But, its all subjective. Mastodon don't have a bad record!
Underrated channel dude
Blood Mountain is not even close to one of their worst albums are you smoking crack?! I mean its the album that pretty much the album where they decided that they were going to break it wide open and put any and everything they wanted into their songs. It's nt a mess its just an album with a shitload of different flavors on it that take a lot of listening to digest.
Blood Mountain is an opus. Maybe Mastodons best album?
@@wc1994 Top 3 for sure
I had to stop watching the video when he dismissed BM and called it a mess 🤦🏻♂️
"Not whiny like Trivium"
Sadge
Lol I like trivium tbf but we can't pretend they aren't whiny
@@itsboundo. I mean I love bands like Alesana so I guess i'm desensitized lmao
I do agree that Trivium are an emotionally charged band, especially on Ascendancy
I’m going to have to disagree about the mix/production on Emperor of Sand. I thought getting Brendan O’Brien to come back as producer made it their best sounding album since Crack The Skye. Especially now after hearing Hushed and Grim. I think the production is a huge step down from Emperor of Sand. Especially the heavier songs like Pushing The Tides and Savage Land. Just something there that isn’t sounding right.
Also Emperor Of Sand had all 3 of them singing consistently which was amazing. Hushed and Grim has almost no vocals from Brent (because he’s working on a new band with Matt Pike) and with an 86 minute run time, it’s really noticeable how much Troy and Brann are singing.
What are you thoughts on the latest album, will you do a review?
One thing worth pointing out - mastodon isn't a very consistent live act. Their live mix ranges from amazing to unlistenable and their vocal performances are never on par with what you'll hear on the album. I consider myself a mastodon fan, but to me they're a studio band first and foremost
I agree that the Hunter was a BIG come down from Crack the Skye. There are great songs on that album but its one I go to the least when I want to hear Mastodon.
I actually like Emperor of Sand better than Once More 'Round the Sun.
When you said that A7X and Trivium were whiny, I was like “Hold up!” for a moment. In my opinion, Avenged Sevenfold and Trivium aren’t whiny in the lyrics (sometimes the vocals are nasally on some of A7X’s albums, but I’m sure that’s done on purpose. It’s not Simple Plan levels of whining by any means). But opinions are opinions.
Hard disagree on Blood Mountain, to me it is their best work along with Crack the Skye
Mastodon’s “worst” albums are better than other band’s best albums. They really have no actually bad albums.
What?? emperor of the sand is such a great album, very proggy a lots of dynamics and heavy riffage..
Why do you remove comments you don't like?
because it makes people like you mad
How about let’s not
id love to see one of these on kyuss/qotsa
