this. better than their last two but not the other four

actually enjoy it quite a bit. The lead single had me a bit worried that this would be The Hunter pt. 3 but it sounds different from the last two albums in a good way. Also, the entire band seem to be making contributions to almost every song now and have really refined chemistry it seems. Good for them.

Emperor of Sand is the VH1 version of Through Silver in Blood. Mastodon are not a poorly-done, warmed over Today is the Day or Iron Monkey; Mastodon are the type of lame sing-along lite rock that can otherwise be found on the heavier Motley Crue LPs. The closest comparison I can think of would actually be the speed metal influenced Skid Row – Slave to the Grind but Mastodon have more estrogen in their bloodstream. Medical literature reports that listeners testicles retreat into the body cavity upon hearing the opening riff. To make a Mastodon album one must merely kidnap five relatively sane sludge metal fans in Neurosis t-shirts, inject them with potent cocktails of various benzodiazepines, and buy them an afternoon of studio time. Emperor of Sand is what would result. Mastodon were not a band who wanted to kill everyone like Eyehategod in 1993, rather they were the assholes in Animal House with the acoustic guitar attempting to make Progressive Sludge Metal music a few years later for born again Christians. Mastodon are the 21st century Stryper.

enjoy being the typically cynical, resentful sad sack metal fan that hates his own existence. hope that meme's working out for you.
