I hate waiting for albums to be released in New zealand

[Shadowmancer]

Crack the Skye by Mastodon is already out in the US, and from people that have heard it already say it is one of the best albums put out this year and blows Blood Mountain and Leviathan away.

I have to wait until Monday to listen to this the legit way, not through their myspace page.

Holy crap. I have it, and it hasn't left my CD player for the last two days. Must have listened to it six times now. Mastodon are on their path to being the greatest metal band since Metallica.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

hm. its THAT good huh?? are they satanists???

 

[Shadowmancer]

no, this album is about a lot of things but not satan, unless you count using rasputin as an element in a multi-dimensional song called the csar as being a satanist.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Ok, im down then. Il prolly go pick it up

It's live, but its the first single.

So it appears that this is a fifth element in their theme of going through the elements for the theme of the Album as well.

Remission = Fire
Leviathan = Water
Blood Mountain = Earth
Crack the Skye = Aether/Spirit
