I think I need to get a flac or other high quality version. I have been streaming it via Spotify for the first few listens and while it doesn't sound bad, and I like the songs, the production has been muddy to my ears.
@@DuskPatrol I agree. It did sound a bit bass-heavy and I think it might be down to how they mixed the kick and the bass. Also seems like the guitars are also dialled in a bit smoother, while cymbals have received a lot of "air". It's not my favourite mix of theirs but it's definitely better than Once More 'Round the Sun.
It has horrible production. Drums drowning the guitar and clipping/distortion everywhere. Also, has this "fuzzy" sound that destroys instrument separation
yeah the replies are on crack no one listening to this album with two ears and a halfway decent speaker/headphone could say it's not immaculately produced
This album has become a must listen for me. Every single day before and after work. It speaks volumes. Its just everything I needed this year. Cheers Mastodon. 🤍
Been diagnosed with depression (well, more like, finally agreed to talk to a psychiatrist), after an eon long battle. One of the only ones that can bring a smile on my face is you guys in another one of your videos/another smashing album. Thanks for that 🤘
Bro.. I had the same problem like You. I got out of it. You know where is the trick to get well? You only have to change how You think, NOTHING more. :) You actually are in control of it all, take charge man, just say that You are done with feeling that way. It is that simple trust me. I was letting it control me for 15 yrs, and then i said enough, my turn now. And i won right away. Just change the way you think, see and process things. :)
Hey, glad you took the step to talk to someone qualified! if you found the right person, things should be looking up as you work through stuff. Getting out of a depression is definitely not easy but it's possible. I used to be in a very, very bad place, but if I made it, you can too. Stay strong and allow yourself to be happy, don't trust the stuff in your head trying to keep you down. You'll make it out. Cheers
Keep your head up brother. At my worst, I felt like it is would be less painful dead, but I was wrong, I woke up 5 days later from the coma I put myself in (trying to kill myself). Since then, I knew that there was some reason why I was denied the peace of death, and it has been what gives me the strength to wake up each morning and look myself in the eye and say "gotta go get it done" - whatever it is,,, and then do my best for that day. Then repeat. And even though it might not be awesome EVERY DAY, I'm living testimony that if I keep my head up, to it WILL GET BETTER.

I've been listening Hushed and Grim on repeat since it released. I've been trying to put it down and listen to some other music, just to keep my head and ears fresh (I write music myself so I don't want to end up a Mastodon copycat lol) but I just can't, it's sooooooo(...)oooo good. Everything, just everything on this album is top tier. A true "all killer no filler". With previous releases, there are always songs that I tend to skip if the mood's not right. But here? Every tune has this nugget of amazing in it, whether it's the chorus, the solo, the breakdown riff, the drumming, the vocals, or just a wicked trippy synth part. Keeps me coming back for more again and again. Thanks for all of that Mastodon, love you guys
the tone of this album is the major advancement of them in my opinion. think about it. from Remission to Hushed and Grim theyve successfully widened, deepened, fattened their music with their unbelievable musical talents. they never cease to evolve.
Not rely on it but he does have a double pedal. A lot of drummers with two bass drums only have them for looks and are actually using a double pedal. Jordison was one.
They should release a full seven hours film of them talking about their music, with bits of music here and there. Maybe even nine hours, let's go crazy. "Mastodon, by the four Mastodons". I would watch that in repeat.
For anyone wondering, Brann's custom painted kit is a Tama Starclassic Performer Birch/Bubinga. But looks like the 13" rack tom is from another kit - not sure what that one is. No idea what snare he's using in this clip either.
I thought the production on this album was particularly dope, every instrument sounded clear and inspired. The "hairy" bass that Troy described is, in my opinion, THE Mastodon sound.
I'm not surprised, but I love the fact that Bill owns a Thunderhorse Explorer. Even more so, cause when he was designing his signature Explorer, it was going to be Silverburst til he found out about the Thunderhorse's existence haha.
It f**kin' worked, fellas! ALL of it! This is the most musical & transporting selection of tunes I may have ever heard in 42-years as a connoisseur of music.
album of the year gents, thank you so very much. I played "Roots Remain" and read lyrics from it at my mothers funeral in January, I know what that song means to you all and especially Bill. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, this album has been on repeat since it was released. \m/
for fffffuukkk sakkkkeeee masto are just the bollox amazeballs and brans drumming is frrreeeedddooommmmmm, fuck writing music on paper just play and thats what i get, beautiful head down running thru the trees yyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssss
Troy describing his tone as "a gnarly, giant, hairy, dirty, thick sound" is the most accurate thing I've ever heard
Fancy meeting you here!! Mastodon are my favorite band, and you’re one of my favorite bassists!! Cover maybe???
Yeah I agree Patrick. Haha. I thought he could have just said it sounds like a mastodon haha. A big hairy giant gnarly dirty thick beast.
Whats up pat 😎
Ain't that the tooth
I like my bass tones the opposite way I like my women
We need more break downs of the gear everyone used. The tones on this album are fantastic !
YES PLEASE.
Sparrowhawk > Butterslax
Troy's tone has finally convinced me to learn bass🔥
You won't regret it 🤘
Nice profile pic brother
You are me?
Dopesmoker 🤘🤘
What are you waiting for? Quit talking about it and get your ass in gear! Lol

I could watch these album documentaries for hours, they're so riveting!
That bass is killer
I love how incredibly expressive Troy is.
I love the sludginess of Gobbler of Dregs
This album has become a must listen for me. Every single day before and after work. It speaks volumes. Its just everything I needed this year. Cheers Mastodon. 🤍

Proud of you for being vulnerable! Men have to rally behind other men in healthy ways and I see no better way than being authentic and open.

The tones and sounds on this album are awesome!
Hushed and Grim is a magnanimous album.
I could watch footage like this all day...
I've been listening Hushed and Grim on repeat since it released.

Thanks for all of that Mastodon, love you guys
Troy is easily the most underrated bass player in metal. Probably because he’s a fucking gnarly singer.
lol ok....
He’s my favourite bass player no doubt! I’ll take him in my band any day 😉
Yesss, yessss!!
the tone of this album is the major advancement of them in my opinion. think about it. from Remission to Hushed and Grim theyve successfully widened, deepened, fattened their music with their unbelievable musical talents. they never cease to evolve.
The heaviest drummer that doesn't rely on double bass
Not rely on it but he does have a double pedal. A lot of drummers with two bass drums only have them for looks and are actually using a double pedal. Jordison was one.
@@DavidOakesMusic bet you’re only thinking of mainstream metal bands from the 80’s and 90’s, am I right?
Abe Cunningham doesn’t use a double bass and he’s heavy as hell.
Can we get more of these little insights? Or like 3 hours of the making of Hushed and Grim.
So cool to see the process of finding “their” specific tones. Great album from a long time fan, nod and horns to the engineers!
They should release a full seven hours film of them talking about their music, with bits of music here and there. Maybe even nine hours, let's go crazy. "Mastodon, by the four Mastodons". I would watch that in repeat.
Love these vids but they are too short for how infrequent they are. I hope there is a LONG one on the way of the entire document.
They said their working on a full “making of”’ documentary, so I’m assuming it’ll include all of these clips and maybe more
They had those included on Blood Mountain and Crack the Skye. I enjoyed those.
@@sunnibird I’m pretty sure they’ve had a documentary for almost every album.
@@Weestinn I really hope so. These shorties aren't enough.
For anyone wondering, Brann's custom painted kit is a Tama Starclassic Performer Birch/Bubinga. But looks like the 13" rack tom is from another kit - not sure what that one is. No idea what snare he's using in this clip either.
He mounts his rack toms upside down too. But the batter head is still on "top" as it were...
This album is so good!!
Holy shit that bass tone.
I thought the production on this album was particularly dope, every instrument sounded clear and inspired. The "hairy" bass that Troy described is, in my opinion, THE Mastodon sound.
Finally got to see you guys live for the first time, last weekend in Dallas. You and Opeth were amazing. Thank you
Bass: the heart of the mastodon
Keep up the amazing work guys!🤘🏻 the live shows have been beyond awesome
Sound phenomenal!
Cool to see Brann add some other touches to his cymbal set up. Spicing it up.
Magnificent band
Love the gnarly sound and the new album is awesome and rewards multiple listens
Getting the tone is key
Loving the album so far, and I’m betting the songs I’m not a fan off will grow on me like most Mastodon songs do.
Same here. One of the most (initially) boring songs is now one of my favorites…that’s how it goes sometimes
I can relate to that......I'm really digging Tearjerker and Savage lands for now
Bran doesnt age. Dude is a vampire
Absolutely amazing album.Thank You Mastodon something to end 2021 on a good note
I'm not surprised, but I love the fact that Bill owns a Thunderhorse Explorer. Even more so, cause when he was designing his signature Explorer, it was going to be Silverburst til he found out about the Thunderhorse's existence haha.
I've never heard troys bass isolate like that before. Had no idea his tone was so massive.
Love that old video of him talking about his bass style when he pops in and out of bushes I still laugh at that everytime.
It f**kin' worked, fellas!
ALL of it!
This is the most musical & transporting selection of tunes I may have ever heard in 42-years as a connoisseur of music.
I just love when Troy speaks and plays his bass. One day I'll gonna have my Warwick too. 🤟🏾
I both love and loathe that Brann has that goddamn Poltergeist Clown doll.
Was looking for this comment
Magnificent album
Awesome bass tone. Sounds very synthy. Love Mastodon!
a gnarly, giant, hairy, dirty, thick sound : Mastodon is an animal which is gnarly, giant, hairy, dirty , thick and fkn dangerous.
album of the year gents, thank you so very much. I played "Roots Remain" and read lyrics from it at my mothers funeral in January, I know what that song means to you all and especially Bill. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, this album has been on repeat since it was released. \m/
Love this fucking album!!!

Love yours last album! Great job and thanks for this)
Inspirations and good luck
I refuse to accept we are this old.
You guys were incredible in Dallas best show I've ever seen.
can't wait to see all the whole docu-album about Hushed & Grim, this "series" is amazing
Troy is gradually transforming into a wizard
Woah, giving me a tone bone over here
"Because Toki, I ams a tones chaser"
Brilliant
The drummer has one of the most beautiful drum kits I’ve ever seen
MORE!
Cool !! Как всегда классно 👍🏻 🤘🏻🔥
Love this !! It’s my gear nerd !! Creative inspiration fix
worth every single sweat droplet! The album radiates something unknown quite strongly.
Nasty tones

El nuevo disco está buenísimo!!!!!🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🇧🇴👏🏼💯
Love everything about it! I only wish scott kelly was in this one and also i wanted more brent vocals ! 🤘💥 fkn awesome album boys !
You know, if this whole music thing doesn't pan out, Troy could probably make a decent living in audiobooks.
Mastodon: choosing, testing, deciding hard which gears/sounds to use
Me: ORANGE AMPS!
More viseos like this please!! And where's Brent?! You are my favourite band for years now! You guys rock!! 👍🏻🤘🏻🔥
Maravilhoso como ele faz cara de " acertei " quando está tocando !
😍new album f****ing great musical dish. We'r going hungry.
PARTY!
Y’all rocked it Sunday in Sugarland ( Houston)
We need a “Making Of…”
You guys aged like a fine wine.
What ever they did for curl of the Burl was amazing for drum tones.
🤘😎🤘
TROY & AMPEG RULES!!!
Elephant call? The call of the mastodon??? It all makes sense now T!
We're in the tone zone now boys and girls!
🔝🔝🔝
👊🍻
That thick bass sounds like Earth - Ouroboros Is Broken, the version in Subpop Video Network Program.
tOnE)))
Journeyman. 😮🤘
2:37 Bill looks like The Edge from U2 :)
Edge Hetfield
*Lovely distortion*
Always superb 🙌
If anyone knows: what is that cab splitter Bill is using? For what I can barely see its a Palmer, but dont know the model...
for fffffuukkk sakkkkeeee masto are just the bollox amazeballs and brans drumming is frrreeeedddooommmmmm, fuck writing music on paper just play and thats what i get, beautiful head down running thru the trees yyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssss
The one downvote wanted to hear Brents tones
Ah the old Silvertone 1484 warms my heart :-)
if I ever have money, I'ma get that esp
he went zero grey to full grey in 10 years
The good old Ampeg SVT in the background. You just can't get around it, haha!
Brann, watch out for the clown behind you!
Myself and all bassist in here we need an in deep dive to troy’s tone
2:43 Am I seeing Friedman JJ jr ?
Jerry nails the tone of that amp. Even Bill, who has his own signature Friedman amp, likes that amp.
