One of the best and more original bands to mix prog with metal. Which one's your favourite? I'll start the ball rolling with Crack The Skye as my choice.

| Fond of them all. Blood Mountain was the first I bought and still love it. But I went with Crack too. |

Blood Mountain for me, one of my favorite albums of all time. ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |

Crack the Skye. On an unrelated note, Mastodon members were extras on last week's Game of Thrones, playing Wildings. Pretty awesome I'd say. |

It's been a while since I listened to them and I haven't spent all that much time with the latest yet, but I'm actually tempted most of all to vote for The Hunter. ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

The Hunter for me. The other candidate would have been Crack the Skye. But I like the Hunter better. ------------- 42 |

Crack the Skye was the first album by Mastodon I really liked, I never quite got their appeal up to that point, apart from some shining moments. They were a band that seemed hyped and overrated. Then Crack the Skye changed that. And The Hunter, which amusingly was treated as a decline in quality by most Mastodon fans I know, really did it. I think it's a fantastic album personally and actually more focused on the essential and substantial in the songwriting. All the Heavy Lifting, Spectrelight, Black Tongue, Curl of the Burl are simply perfect. I think the fact that (at least in the studio) they stepped up their game in the vocals department helped a lot. I am very aware that I am in the minority regarding my preference among Mastodon fans but there you go! ------------- 42 |

| None of them. I just don't like 'em. I know a couple of guys in the band used to be in Today is the Day, and the first time I heard Mastodon I thought they were Today is the Day-lite, and they never seem to have gotten any better since. Maybe I'm just too old and I'm not their target audience, but I feel like any time spent listening to Mastodon is time I could have spent listening to something good. |
