Were they ever good?
Were they ever good?
Robert Cox
Jaxon Rodriguez
this album was good and so was leviathan
Jaxon Sanders
their first 4 albums were great, but the hunter kinda sucked. Once more round the sun was pretty good though, even though emperor of sand was extremely average
Matthew Garcia
They never sucked user
Joshua Sullivan
their last 2 albums have sucked. they need to stop layering the vocals so much they're incomprehensible and writing buttrock choruses and shitty groove metal riffs
Luis Clark
there is no such thing as "good" atmosludge
Jack Wilson
>mastodong
>atmosludge
you've never actually listened to them have you?
Matthew Foster
They were never bad. They're the most fun metal band that's currently active.
Grayson Perry
Retard
I heard they are pretty shit live
Owen Powell
Saw them live this summer, they are fucking amazing. The vocals were weak up till some years ago, but they were tight this tour.
Isaiah Lopez
they topped on Blood Mountain (excuse the pun)
Mountain was surrounded by 8/10 albums (excuse the pun)
and that's it
Nathan Garcia
The vocals are what seem to be consistently off live from what I've heard, though I commend Brent for powering through Download Fest 2007 with a throat infection.
Adrian Roberts
Pop band with pop production playing "metal". Some riffs and sections are okay but then comes the fucking corporate pop ensemble vocals and radio-rock guitar/drum production. Really nauseating. May as well listen to Max Martin tracks. Same sound.
Cooper Green
what the fuck are you on about
Chase Gomez
He's probably only listened to Show Yourself
Jaxson Harris
it's pretty clear what he meant, are all mastodon fanboys this retarded
Leo Phillips
Exactly what I said. This band is the Backstreet Boys of metal and their music is safe corporate sounding pop with zero actual aggression. Go to 1:29 in this track for example: youtube.com
Track is nice until then. At 1:29 it may as well be Britney Spears' Toxic. Really awful pop sound in writing and production.
Angel Moore
Perhaps you shouldn't judge a band's entire discography on a new sound that has been popularly labelled as bad by their fans.
Liam King
Worst band I have ever seen live. Horrible.
Connor Baker
That's just the thing I remembered from the last time I tried to check out this band. I had the same impression of everything else I've heard though. Do you have recs of better stuff from their catalog? What's considered best?
Ryder Green
>backstreet boys
haha get fucked
seriously though, mastodon is not (just) metal, its something weirdly intertwined and its trippy as fuck, if you dont like it, fuck off i guess
Levi Rodriguez
youtube.com
Much different
William Brown
That's a much better track but holy shit that is an awful mix.
Grayson Lopez
>trippy as fuck
you need to be over 18 to post on this board, junkie
Joshua Garcia
Shitty puns
Alexander Perry
I googled mastodon and this is what came up
youtube.com
a shitty song that sounds like it was made for some shitty PS2 EA sports game and there are also trashy black thots twerking
so I would say no, no they were never good.
Juan Bailey
Congrats, you're retarded. See
Hunter Lopez
Leviathan is one of the greatest metal albums ever. The rest is mostly okay, some stuff is bad, some is good.
Hudson Fisher
no
