I always interpreted the fact that the protagonist explained to rasputin that he’s going to die because he was from the future. And because of that that’s how he knew the escape was gonna end in his death
It was totally sweet when you became a little emotional while summarizing the album at the end of the video. I'm sure if anyone who had anything to do with the making of this album were to see your understanding of it and then your response to it would be absolutely astonished.
I just a big sap lol:) Thank you though. Every member of Mastodon has suffered tragedies and I think it's definitely a part of what makes their music so incredible.
Take this with a grain of salt cause I can´t find the interview, but somewhere is the explanation behind Karelia. From what I can remember it was inspired by them visiting a church in Karelia and heard the local legend about a ghost that resided there. "Wrathful ones nine eyes gaze Holding skulls Filled and laced With human blood" These were all descriptions of the ghost and it´s way of murdering people if I´m not mistaken. Will try to dig up the interview and provide a link :)
Yay! More story album explanation! So happy to see another great video detailing another badass album, keep up the good work! (also super cool you took the time to explain terms and histories, makes for an even more in depth look at the album/story)
The Last Baron is one of my favourite Mastadon songs. It was cool to see the whole story and context explained. Without looking into it, or any of the story of the album, my interpretation was that it was about some being whose role was to decide whether the world should be saved or destroyed. And this being had to go on a journey throughout the world over several years to properly judge us and make a decision.
Dude! Fellow ex-Southern Oregonian and huge Mastodon head here. I found your concept album vids referenced from @ThePunkRockMBA and I am digging the hell out of them! I love boring my friends to death talking about Mastodon's concept albums, so it's really fantastic to see some at-length interpretations with researched insights. Leviathan is my favorite overall Mastodon album, but the amount of genuine personal reflection and grief in Crack the Skye, and the tie-ins from Russian history/mysticism, puts it in a category all of its own. I learned so much from this video. Very excited to queue up the Emperor of Sand Explained next, then it's on to Opeth...
Hello fellow Oregonian!! Nice to meet someone else from the Pacific Northwest. Many thinks to Finn for sending people here! Mastodon concepts are some of my favorite storylines as they always tie in the raw emotion of their personal experience to each album. Enjoy the Opeth videos!
@@JJMetalhead One of my favorite pieces of Mastodon trivia is that in 2004 they played a live show at the record store in Medford that got almost every spare cent I had in high school, Musichead. I hadn't lived there since 1999 and didn't even find out about this until years after it happened, but I can't imagine just how amazing it would have been to see a Remission/Leviathan era live set in such a tiny venue, and in Medford of all places?!?
I love your Coheed videos, keep it up! Maybe dive into Elf Tower, that's always been one of their more mysterious songs. Thanks for the videos, you are awesome!
Love this break down, but "Crack the Skye song" is for Brann's Sister. We all know it. "Please tell Lucifer he can't have this one, Her Spirit's too strong" I asked him, it's mostly about his sister.
It depends on how you look at it. I think the “her” in the title track refers to Skye which was Dailor’s sister. Skye is not necessarily the protagonist of the story, though if you want to think of it as told from her perspective you can.
Its cool that you have sections for each song, makes it easy to digest. The Last Barron is one of the best songs i've ever heard.

You make a good point. I didn't think of it that way, thank you for sharing!

This record has helped me a lot through the years. This video is pure gold.
really enjoyed your interpretation thanks for sharing!
I really like your show as you explain the concept albums Jeff from H TOWN TX

Topland Awesome, thank you!
No reply?
Im very curious how or if that songs ties in the album theme. Other than the location
Your explanations of The Amory Wars brought me here, and your explanations are just really relaxing :-) keep it up!

This is awesome. Thank you. By far my favorite mastodon cd, and now I appreciate it even more.🤘

It’s one of my all time favorites too. I love your interpretation! I’ll have to listen to it with that idea in mind.
This got my sub, appreciate the lore and story telling. and yeah... Love me some Mastodon.

@@Flaatbed No way! That's amazing. It would have been great to see. I love how wholesome all the guys in Mastodon are.
I found your channel from a random hilarious reel you did that popped up on Instagram. I really like your videos!
Thank you! Glad you followed me here!! 🤘🏻

Carach angren where corpses sink forever
Terrific concept album
Terrific concept
Just saw them at Ryman in Nashville . Loved them!!
Just found your channel and i gotta say i love your videos! Subscribed because why not
Thanks for watching and subbing! 🤘🏻
It is difficult to pick just one Coheed song for analysis, however it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on The Dark Sentencer.
Excellent

Could you please do a story interpretation of King Diamonds Them/Conspiracy albums since they represent one story. Good video!
Is it he? They say "her" in the title track don't they?
