    I dont know much of their stuff although I LOVE The Wolf is Loose.

    Another song of theirs I know is Oblivion I think? Dont really like it. It just seems real monotonous and dreary, if ya get me? feels the same the whole way through. Easy to get lost in.

    blood mountain & crake the skye are great albums, the singing on the older albums is a bit too death metalish for my liking. but thats just me

    Thanks very much.

    There is one song that I remember liking but couldn't remember what it was and I was getting headaches listening through their stuff looking for it. It was of course 'The wolf is loose'.

    Is that such a bad thing though. I would have thought most go to a concert for the music.

    "Hello *insert city*"

    Personally, for me, it was a little disappointing for them to be SO quiet

    Thread title edited :).

    Unlistenable to me is most of the shite that gets played on daytime radio. Mastodon are far from that.

    His voice was destroyed before then, so his singing is quite comical there.

    To the person who said they generic...:eek:

    I dislike Crack (of) the (ar$e) Skye. It's a meandering pretentious pile of crap. Don't get me wrong, I've tried to get in to that album three times and I only like the single. The rest of the album bores me to tears.

    Remission and Leviathan are amazing.....they wen't downhill after that.

    generic??? get your ears checked mate :rolleyes:

    Crack The Skye is a masterpiece! It doesn't seem pretentious at all to me, its the classic rock tinged album that they've always wanted to make.

    Love their music, from Lifesblood onwards. Blood Mountain is the only album I haven't completely gotten into, not sure why, I do like it but doesn't engage me as much as the others. Seen them four times and always been impressed with them live too.

    Well with you there!

    I mean I admire the musicianship. The technical prowess. It's just when you put together a band that each member is as good as the next trying to be (what seems like) on top and most show-off-ery. That's what Skye is to me. A massage of egos.

    I don't think CTS has any ego massaging(a lot less than many bands have). The Czar is one of the most impressive prog metal songs I've heard in a long time. My cousin doesn't like the new album, says its too tough to get into. He can't get into prog stuff either. Maybe someday it'll all click though for ya(or unravel for me).

    I have to ask;

    Was the album Crack the Skye?

    Was the venue Marlay Park?

    Coz I'd agree if you witnessed both first. I'd suggest going back and listening to their first two albums though.

    Also, this is an amazing tune!

    Don't agree with this at all - for one thing, Brann clearly reined in his drumming style to suit the more laidback material on Crack The Skye. The shared singing duties doesn't seem egotistical to me either, though I suppose one could argue that point either way.

    One could....but I don't have enough caffeine in me to bother. But yeah I can see your point. Also it might be good to note that I was actually talking about the amazingness that is Meshuggah in that post......:pac:

    Haha! Yeah hadn't heard them before Remission but got Lifesblood after that. Crazy, awesome stuff. The drumming especially is just mental.

    Why do you keep trying? If you don't like them so be it! No need to get yourself worked up.
    Personally I can't stand neither them nor Machine Head even though everyone seems to love them so much. So many of their songs are just a wall of noise.
