Mastodon - Hushed and Grim (October 29th, 2021) • Page 3

oh my god this album is so great

 

This is something special for sure. So much to digest.

 

Definitely going to need quite a few listens to process everything, but on my first listen I had the biggest grin on my face during this one.

A banger.

 

About to give this a listen. Between ETID, this and Converge coming up, what a solid few weeks for heavy music!

 

excited to peep it

 

THE BEAST, YES. This just makes me want more Brent songs.

 

For real, that track is so gnarly.

 

Its Peace and Tranquility for me

 

i love the brent songs a lot, but my faves from my listen last night were "more than i could chew," "dagger" and motherfucking "savage lands"

 

Du fuq.

"The Atlanta metal band’s new double album is its least ambitious collection yet"

Mastodon: Hushed and Grim

I'm totally cool with lower scores for w/e the reviewer wants, but this reads like they didn't even listen to the album.

 

closed that the second I saw it was pitch lmao

 

Had It All is dope, so far I'm loving how much proggier this is than Emperor of Sand. I thought it was just going to be longer/more songs, but it really isn't the same type of straightforward strong structures like Emperor of Sand had (I love EOS btw).

 

Whoa just got to this one. There's some legit screams going on here.

 

i do not get the pfork review, makes this out to be dull alt-rock sludge when it's p easily the proggiest thing they've done since crack the skye

 

Pitchfork’s metal content has been questionable at best since Brandon stosuy left

 

Also multiple uses of the term emo which is confusing to me in a Mastodon review.

 

Having a hard time not hearing Schism in *that* part in Gobblers of Dregs.

 

I'm not quite sure this needed to be 90 minutes. If anything it's too ambitious haha.

 

Good read

 

Yo The Crux

 

This absolutely rules

 

Yeah - let's just disregard the 'review'. The fact that y'all have mentioned NINE different songs on this page alone as being personal faves speaks to the quality. Lots to unwrap here, I'm only about halfway but really digging it.

 

gosh I'm trying to like this but it's really not hitting right. I say that as a yuge fan of the entire back catalog. leviathan tangibly changed my life.

hope it's a grower.

 

"the beast" is such a... beast

 

they did put the two best songs right at the end though
