Leviathan is really good too Jackyl but this project is so much more epic in scope and the degree to which these dudes succeeded was amazing. Crack the Skye 10/10 for me.

It seems this is the most complex, mature and versatile record Mastodon had done so far. Less screams, more vocals, grat fills, and great solos too. I agree with the review.

I don't understand how anyone could enjoy this record. The songs have no momentum, no feeling, no anything. There are no contrasts in dynamics (thanks, digital compression!), and there aren't any meter changes anymore, even thought that's always been one of the things that made Mastodon Mastodon. I'll stick to their first three records, thanks. Speaking as a huge Mastodon fan: Crack The Skye fucking sucks. I don’t understand how anyone could enjoy this record.

I mean, it's filled with clever arrangements, complex melodies and rhythms, ambitious vocal lines, maturity, intensity etc., blah, blah, blah. For whatever reason, I don't care. It lacks something. It's by no means terrible, just not the amazing aural experience I was informed it would be. I loved each of their previous albums, which all grew on me in no time. This one I've had for a few weeks, and I'm kind of bored with it. Repeated listens are not doing it for me. Going to go back to jamming Obscura and maybe revisit Mastadon later.

I mean, it did remind me of some bad times, and I had to focus on what felt harmonious or beautiful to get rid of the emotions this record brought to me.
