@@Lloocii Ho yes! It's like at first i wasn't such a fan of the song Tears Drinker. But when i realized live that he was signing that one; it give the song a total new perspective. And now i really dig the song!
@@Ratamahatatatatatatatatata...., or the show you seen they were off. It happens. I've seen them 4 times. 3 times they sounded great, and one time Hinds sounded terrible. When You do 4 - 5 shows a week for months at a time it happens....unless you are lip syncing.
You wont be dissapointed. No other band out there sounds so different from song to song album to album while still remaining distinctly themselves. There's bound to be a few duds in contrast to your taste with that kind of unique approach but the ones that hit, and that's probably most if you've enjoyed this, really hit.
New initiates are fun 😎 Crack the Skye came out when I was in high school, but i first found them earlier when RockBand featured a song off Blood Mountain. Their later albums are awesome, but I must prefer their early concept albums, half based on the elements of fire, water, earth and æther. Still waiting on the air album, sadly (no, it's not Once More Round the Sun, unfortunately) Absolutely go all the way through their early works, you will not be disappointed, unless you dont like getting sludgier, dirtier, and heavier.
They have the best discography in metal since 2002, easily one of the most unique bands too. Listen to all their album and their cold dark place EP. So much variety in their discog.
Brann(the drummer) does the vocals during the verse, pretty wild how he does that while playing. Cool that each singer has their own parts in this song.
An incredible song, from an amazing LP by a powerful and talented band. Crack the Skye is most definitely a whole album experience. I need to add that I find their last album, Hushed and Grim is up there with Crack the Skye for me. I love when the band has allowed their more proggy elements to be unleashed more. The diversity of heavy and melodic meshed together is a thing of beauty.
Hushed and Grim is definitely the closest they've been at catching that lighting again, if a little short of it to me. But they are *so much better* live than during their CTS era, it's not even funny
I don't know, I like Hushed and Grim a lot but I think Emperor of Sand has it moments where it gets up into Crack the Skye territory too. Jaguar God gave me the same shivers I get when I listen to "The Last Baron".
I’m a late bloomer, heard this song the first time around 5 years ago and it was so different it started me on the mastodon journey, that I never left. Now they are one of my favorite bands of all time. They have their own distinctive sound.
The Melvins were a huge inspiration for Mastodon, with that low sludgy driving sound, coming out of Seattle at the same time as AiC, They've covered them too.
Its funny when someone tells me about what they hate. It makes me think..... It's like catching the bus into town, getting off at the stop and seeing an ad for guitar lessons. You then take down the number, ring the number, and scream at the person....I DONT WANT GUITAR LESSONS 😄 Keep on rocking brothers 💥🎸🥁🎸💥
Crack the Skye is my favorite Mastodon album, it's very progressive. The Czar and The Last Baron are pinnacle Mastodon for me. Oblivion is one of the weaker songs on the album in my opinion, but it's still amazing. :) Wish I could hear Judson response to Blood and Thunder or any song from Leviathan, it's totally different style, much heavier but I think he's grown to at least be able to listen to now. Great review :) P.S. None so Vile by Cryptopsy is the best technical death metal album all time \m/
Crack the Skye is an incredible album. It takes such skill to weave a narrative with twists and turns so smoothly just through the instrumentation itself and they do do it so well on this album.
My wife first got me into this band with this song. I didn't love it at first. After a few listens, with Divinations and The Czar, I slowly got into them. Then hugely. Specifically this album. Then I got into their earlier stuff which I loved. Later stuff, not so much but I love Mastodon. Seen them a few times. Love Jud mentioning ATL and Outkast. Dirty south.
I don't know if the b&w piano lead-ins are supposed to make me laugh every time, but they do. Thanks for giving us a sweet little spot to listen and ruminate on some wicked tunes.
What do you get when you have a rock guitarist, a banjo player on the other guitar, a metal bassist, jazz drummer and three of them are vocalists? Mastodon
Judson nailed this right on the head. There are very few albums for me that I feel get enriched when listening to each track from start to finish, and this is one of them. I adore this album. Whenever I think of "albums that take you on a journey" I instantly go back to this one. I love introducing people to Mastodon, and every time I do I lead them here. Judson's explanation of what the music does to you while it plays is exactly what makes it so captivating, and honestly, it's really nice to hear what I've always thought about Mastodon through someone else. Great video guys - great Patreon recommendation! Judson should seriously find a weekend to put the full album on and vibe out!
Judson's eyes scanning while listening is fun to watch. I know he's active listening, but God i wish we had captions of his thoughts in real time. Your mom.
I was marathoning a lot of your vids the other day and I thought, "they should do some more Mastodon." Perfect timing lol. I also suspect that the route to take now is to focus maybe on their more recent work from Crack the Skye to now because their older stuff is a lot more fast and aggressive by comparison and might be harder to digest.
@@judsongI think like 10 ppl have mentioned it at this point, myself included, but we just see and we answer I s'pose. A really cool band I havent thought of in years. Time to go for a nostalgia trip.
Intro vocals are done by the drummer, Brann. You will also hear two other vocalists, the bassist and guitarist in this song/album. Amazing to see live!
Coming back to this months later, for the love of music, and I'm glad the first time my name was mentioned on the world-wide wild was in relation to music. Sorry I had to lay off my Patreon subscription but I've had to rein in my bills due to recent health issues but, because I'm a muso, I'm also here to throw in a request: Foals - A Knife in the Ocean. I'd make a metal suggestion but nothing's caught my attention lately apart from Sleep Token and you've gone there already. I'd still like to see some Sigur Ros, too. Keep up the song surgeries. 👍 “One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.” ― Bob Marley
Big Mastodon fan here and honestly I don't really care about "Blood and Thunder" (I can take it or leave it, I don't really ever put it on) so I can see why Judson wasn't impressed by it.
Judson really seemed to enjoy this one, I'm still curious to see how the Blood and Thunder video went audio issues aside. Also this song is one I can't not sing along to during parts. This album was one of my favorites and I had the cd in the cd player of my car as a fall back during my college years whenever I couldn't plug anything into the aux port. If I had to pick another song from Mastodon it would be Last Baron from this same album.
OMG I got so excited to see Mastodon but not the song I suggested, waaaaaayyyyy! lol, Good song though but you must react to MASTODON - JAGUAR GOD nest please....
LOVE Mastodon. Incredible band, especially live. Their drummer is insanely talented. Tool, Rush, Dream Theatre, as well as Queensryche were huge influences on them. Would be cool if you reacted to some vintage Queensryche. An album like Rage For Order or Promised Land (my 2 favorites) would be good starting points. Maybe even some 70's era Pink Floyd.
Listen to Vildhjarta! If you like music melting together into one. You’ll love it. Listen to the new singles dropped. Would love you watch you break it down!
Maybe lil bit heavier than Mastodon though. They are shoving amazing amount of atmosphere and feeling in their songs though. I have not heard the new single yet, should go check that out now I guess
I have a feeling it'll be a bit heavy for Judson. Their very sludgy imo. Who knows though he surprises me sometimes with what he can dig and cant. If you like Vildjharta you might like Rivers of Nihil. Heavier still, debateable, but more Tech and a bit Jazzier with their saxophone use.
Hi guys, I love your reactions. I suggest you make a reaction to "Igorrr - Himalaya Massive Ritual". It's a prog metal song with a very good guitar, vocals and a couple of unexpected instruments.
Some igorrr would be cool. Its def out their compositionally but i think he could dig the genre bending and classical, operatic motifs they use quite frequently
The whole album is a banger! maybe my favourite. I predict Judson will dig this one..I'll know at the end. How about Pendulous Skin, or Sleeping Giant from Blood Mountain?
Not my cup of acid , just a little bit to busy for my cranium, However there were bits & pieces that had a resonance of sorts , I guess I’m trying to say it was an irritating head trip & I was already aggravated today & it left me feeling as if I just watched a Star Wars bar scene 🎬. 😊
This album is a head trip. It's about a guy that becomes a paraplegic so the guy learns to astral project. The guy flies too close to the sun and the umbilical cord connecting his spirit to his body is severed. So the guys spirit is lost in time-space. He gets pulled in czarist Russia (1400s) and struggles to find his way back to his body.

One of the few bands that sound natural having multiple singers
It always blows my mind when their drummer is singing. Like brother save some talent for the rest of us.
@@Lloocii Ho yes! It's like at first i wasn't such a fan of the song Tears Drinker. But when i realized live that he was signing that one; it give the song a total new perspective. And now i really dig the song!
i agree. the eagles, beatles, alice in chains, and genesis are some others. but mastodon has 3!
except they can't sing live

Man, i haven’t heard this song in years. It’s aged like fine wine. More mastodon for sure 🔥
Fantastic song indeed
This is the first time I have heard this song and I absolutely love it. My horizons have been expanded with Mastodon, thank you.

Their latest release Hushed & Grim is my album of the decade.
@@mattjns
yeah, hushed&grim was great

this album Crack The Skye, it's the 1st album where he started singing.
Crack The Sky is PEAK Mastodon. Always will be.
O hard to say that, but I can also see what your saying there too. LOL
An incredible song, from an amazing LP by a powerful and talented band. Crack the Skye is most definitely a whole album experience.
I need to add that I find their last album, Hushed and Grim is up there with Crack the Skye for me. I love when the band has allowed their more proggy elements to be unleashed more. The diversity of heavy and melodic meshed together is a thing of beauty.
Crack the Skye is one of the greatest Prog-metal records ever. It’s just a masterpiece
@@jeffreyhanc1711 I agree!
I love every Mastodon album. They all offer something great in different ways as the guys age and change throughout life.
Hushed and Grim is definitely the closest they've been at catching that lighting again, if a little short of it to me. But they are *so much better* live than during their CTS era, it's not even funny
I don't know, I like Hushed and Grim a lot but I think Emperor of Sand has it moments where it gets up into Crack the Skye territory too. Jaguar God gave me the same shivers I get when I listen to "The Last Baron".

The chorus is so catchy
I believe thats the drummer singing the chorus. Always reminds a bit of Chris Cornell and Audioslave.
@@Lloocii the chorus is Brent, the guitarist, Brann is the first voice, cleaner tone. The other is Troy. Brent has a nasal twang to his voice.
@@doom32x4 Brent also has their most iconic voice i feel.
"Who was that heavy band that played acoustic?"
"Days of the New" I yell at my screen.
The Melvins were a huge inspiration for Mastodon, with that low sludgy driving sound, coming out of Seattle at the same time as AiC, They've covered them too.
one hit wonder
They had like 6 good songs tf you mean? @@bevrosity
@@im-pro-at-skyrim8285 one hit wonder
We need more Mastodon here)
This whole album is a masterpiece
From start to finish, definitely
Mastodon hands down some of the best story tellers of all time. They are so friggin Awesome an talented.
Lets go..\m/
The story behind this song is so sad and crazy and Brann’s vocals are even more powerful when you know what he is singing about
The entire album is a classic. One of my all time favorites. Great video Great Measures keep them coming.
Days of the New
That's the acoustic band you were thinking of.
You were referring to "Days of the New" ("Heavier" music played on acoustic guitars)
Its funny when someone tells me about what they hate. It makes me think.....
It's like catching the bus into town, getting off at the stop and seeing an ad for guitar lessons. You then take down the number, ring the number, and scream at the person....I DONT WANT GUITAR LESSONS 😄
Keep on rocking brothers
💥🎸🥁🎸💥
Crack the Skye is my favorite Mastodon album, it's very progressive. The Czar and The Last Baron are pinnacle Mastodon for me. Oblivion is one of the weaker songs on the album in my opinion, but it's still amazing. :)
Wish I could hear Judson response to Blood and Thunder or any song from Leviathan, it's totally different style, much heavier but I think he's grown to at least be able to listen to now.
Great review :)
P.S.
None so Vile by Cryptopsy is the best technical death metal album all time \m/
Blood and thunder is a bit overrated. They have many better songs i think.
The Czar for me!
@@HubertTomczak2024 Yeah I perfer other songs from Leviathan as well :)
I think sleeping giant hits te same as any song on Oblivion style wise.
YES, more mastodon please, Capillarian Crest & Quintessence are my runner ups
Gret analysis from Judson! If you do more Mastodon, “Jaguar God” has to be the next song! 🤘
Totally agree with the AiC influences!
Awesome, one of their best!
Crack the Skye is an incredible album. It takes such skill to weave a narrative with twists and turns so smoothly just through the instrumentation itself and they do do it so well on this album.
My favorite song from my favorite band. Definitely more mastodon please!
Mastodon is one of the best and most consistent bands in modern metal. Great pick.
My wife first got me into this band with this song. I didn't love it at first. After a few listens, with Divinations and The Czar, I slowly got into them. Then hugely. Specifically this album.

Great band. I think they are incredibly talented.
Just listened to the entire Hushed/Grim on a flight last night, THIS is the song to introduce newbies with.
This was one of the songs I hoped yall would do! I’d love to see him do a full album listen!! Do it!
Days of the New Judson. Their self titled album?, i dont recall exactly of that's right, was fire.
Thats it!
Judson's eyes scanning while listening is fun to watch. I know he's active listening, but God i wish we had captions of his thoughts in real time. Your mom.
He’s scanning for insults to toss my way
He seems to express his thoughts after the song is done.
what a GEM! thanks for this one!
This is such a good idea for a channel! Love your videos
This album is one of my favorites of all time. Its an absolute masterpiece.
A modern masterpiece.
I love to see your personalities and humor coming through these videos as you're growing as a channel.
Uhhhh, Mastodon. Nice! Love the djentyness! And you two have a wonderful day, too. ^^
Mastodon is great. I always go back to Blood and Thunder from the ole MTV days. But Tread Lightly is probably my favorite song of all time by them
13:10 those kids in Mastodon are approaching 50
Love this song so so so much, great content Gentlemen.
Yesss, finally!!! thanks!
We love Mastodon!!
I was marathoning a lot of your vids the other day and I thought, "they should do some more Mastodon." Perfect timing lol. I also suspect that the route to take now is to focus maybe on their more recent work from Crack the Skye to now because their older stuff is a lot more fast and aggressive by comparison and might be harder to digest.
Days Of The New..I think thats what Judson was trying to remember
Big +1 to that APC cover of Imagine, I love it as well.
I'm a huge fan of Yob, and I know their songs can be long, but I'd love to request Our Raw Heart.
Patrick from Ireland.
Mastodon - hearts alive. Would blow your mind if you guys like that track.
Hell yes dude! Awesome pick! Crack the Skye and earlier is the golden era of Mastodon 🤘
Time to check out APC's cover of Imagine on the channel. I cant wait!
Cryptopsy! Hell yeah
It has finally happened! Huzzah. Mastodon is on the channel.
Yes!
This song reminds me of if Cream covered Between The Buried And Me. Heavy and twisting with a fuzzy 70s vibe. Cool for sure.
Let's GO! 👍🎵
I believe you were trying to say “Days of the New”….
Yep! Thanks for clearing that up. I couldnt remember
@@judsongI think like 10 ppl have mentioned it at this point, myself included, but we just see and we answer I s'pose.
A really cool band I havent thought of in years. Time to go for a nostalgia trip.
One the particulary of mastodon is have 3 singers, i love that is not usual in a metal band.
Intro vocals are done by the drummer, Brann. You will also hear two other vocalists, the bassist and guitarist in this song/album. Amazing to see live!
commented this yesterday but would love to hear the sound of the piano during the song when Judson is trying to figure out the key/notes
Nice hoodie. (Edit) the band you're thinking of is days of the new.
This song has some jarring transitions, but somehow still manages to be so hooky

I always thought the guitar solo sounds pink-floydy, right at this part 7:37
You’re probably hearing Dogs from Animals
Man, I love Blood and Thunder so much, my gateway song to Mastodon. Should've been in the Aquaman movie.

The band you were thinking of is Days Of The New
Days of the new
Please do this one "Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize live"! thanks guys 😃
I think you should have showed him the video he would have instantly been like wtf?? 😳
14:01 may be he meant days of the new ?ig
how about some The Mars Volta huh

We need him to react to Hearts Alive or March of the Fire Ants or any track on Leviathan!
great content as always. have you heard any igorrr?
Some igorrr would be cool. Its def out their compositionally but i think he could dig the genre bending and classical, operatic motifs they use quite frequently
Yes, that intro was amazing. Congratulations! Imagine is one of the most beautiful songs ever composed.
Have you had him listen to Buckethead?? As a composer I'm sure he'd appreciate the orchestrated melodies that flow freely from that white Gibson.
The whole album is a banger! maybe my favourite. I predict Judson will dig this one..I'll know at the end. How about Pendulous Skin, or Sleeping Giant from Blood Mountain?
Hahaha just as i was thinking, i like this bendy music..just like Alice in Chains. Then it's the first comparison Judson makes. Hahaha
I was expecting The Motherload but Oblivion is top5 for sure.
Not my cup of acid , just a little bit to busy for my cranium, However there were bits & pieces that had a resonance of sorts , I guess I’m trying to say it was an irritating head trip & I was already aggravated today & it left me feeling as if I just watched a Star Wars bar scene 🎬. 😊

I suggest Katatonia next!
Days of the New?
Show him Sleeping Giant by Mastodon. Definitely my favorite of theirs!
Dry Bone Valley
Seeing how Judson had fun with Electric Callboys music videos, you ought to play him Mastodons Steambreather or Curl of the Burl next :)
Days of the New
My bad. I see it a hundred times down below now.😂
