Mastodon

[folk singer]

I have a friend whose musical tastes I respect, and he has told me about a metal band called Mastodon that he enjoys and has recommended that I pick up their newest and most widely distributed release, Blood Mountain. I checked them up on iTunes, but the 30 second clips are...well itunes-esque and dont give a very good representation of anything. I was wondering if anyone here were fans (i've also heard that their last release, Leviathan was just as good). Thanks guys.

I've only heard Leviathan. It's pretty technical stuff and whatnot. Just not my thing.

I've played them a few times and enjoyed the tracks I heard (all from Blood Mountain). If you are a metal fan, you should probably check them out. Blood Mountain appears to be one of the most highly acclaimed heavy albums of the year to boot.

[Prometheon]

I saw them when they opened for Iron Maiden and hated them.

i downloaded leviathan recently and it's not bad. i've only listened to it once, though. i kept hearing them come up in articles and reviews pertaining to isis and pelican - bands which i love, so naturally i looked into them.

leviathan is fucking awesome. i listenned to blood mountain a few times and i don't like it as much, but i think i need to give it a few more spins before i make a real decision.

[saturnine]

i just got blood mountain and i don't think it's as good as leviathan, but decent nonetheless

haaha i knew it.

tickets are 32 dollars, too

 

so i'll most likely be paying a dollar for each minute of their performance. that's kind of lame but you know i'm going to do it.

[mrs jesus]

ok, that's probably THE weirdest tour ever. seriously.

of course. but i dont see a problem in forking over $32 for against me. would you stay for mastodon's set?

[saturnine]

do it for me, meg.

[Ravenous megin-sane]

i'd stay to see if i liked it. but after 2 songs i'd leave

[saturnine]

what if the first two songs were bad, but the rest were super?

[mrs jesus]

how likely is that?

[marx marvelous]

Yeah damn, if the kick drum is mic'd properly, it's hard to not enjoy even shitty songs live, so if I hear a couple of stinkers, I'm out of there.

[saturnine]

how likely is that?

depends what songs they play.

[mrs jesus]

depends what songs they play.

aside from a perfect circle, i don't think i have ever seen a band open with a shitty song.

 

in addition to that, i am feeling feisty and want to argue with someone. anyone.

[Shiri]

What song did APC open with?

[Ravenous megin-sane]
