You don't understand: Anti-hipster sentiment happens within more than it does without. Hipsters truly believe that everyone else is a broke-ass poser try-hard while they and only they are pioneers on the forefront of art, fashion and culture.

Everything is terrible.

I've been really getting into these guy's music, which has caused a minor revolution in me because I've always considered their music to be pretentious brooklyn hipster garbage. Part of me still thinks that, and another part embraces the music regardless.

What is it with the A.V. Club and not liking projects involving James Maynard Keenan? This is probably one of the best records of the year, and some of the best songwriting I've heard in a while, it's just that they decided to save the goofiness for the cover art.

Hmm…I remain cautiously optimistic. I always thought that the Mark Ruffalo character got a raw deal at the end of that movie, so I'd like to see him get a happier resolution to his character arc.

I actually bothered to tune into this show last night and I instantly regretted it. Holy Mary, Mother of God, this is a bad a show. I don't get why the a.v. club staff seems to love this garbage but hate Whitney. Of the two shows that Cummings has a hand in, Whitney is far from perfect, but is funnier and has its…

Ctrl+F revealed no mentions of The Who or their song "The Seeker". I'm very disappointed in you all.

GK is someone who receives authentic enjoyment from Jersey Shore, so whatever ill-natured fun we poke at her is never enough.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but Black Belt Jones was in Enter The Dragon, right?

How come you never see the gay guys kiss?

The new art is created by an artist named AJ Fosik who is know for his woodworking (google him sometime, his shit is trippy as fuck). I was disappointed when I heard that Mastodon would be retiring the iconic art of Paul Romano after a decade of Romano's brilliant work on Mastodon's album covers, merch and stage…

You should definitely check out Crack The Skye next and continue to work your way backward through the catalog. Blood Mountain is my personal favorite, and it's the easily the sludgiest, heaviest, most psychedelic record they've put out yet.

Stop. We're all fans here, even if some us a band's earlier work to its later period stuff. I've actually been looking for to this release and the subsequent A.V. Club review for a while now, and I'd like this discussion to continue as long as possible without bringing Ad Hominems in this.

Mastodon's strengths has always been Brent Hind's Compositional skills and Dailor's Lyricism. All the album concepts were written by Dailor, and as the story goes he was already hard at work writing a storyline for The Hunter when the rest of the band told him to save it. But again, we're making the mistake of…

I'm surprised that the haters haven't shown up by now. This is the kind of album that splits a band's fanbase irrevocably in half.

I'm tickled by how heavily inspired by Torche and Baroness this album is. This is the kind of album College freshman me would have died for.

I can't speak to the quality of "The Ruiner", but "Deathbound" is one of the best songs that didn't make the cut for Crack The Skye, and the kind of manic, violent thrash that erstwhile fans claim the band left behind after Remission. It's well worth the extra dollars alone.

This seems like as good a place as any to shamelessly fellate Dailor's vocal performances on both this album and on Crack The Skye. I was so happy when I heard that The Hunter featured not one but two(!) tracks with Dailor on vocal lead, and  he really sells "Dry Bone Valley'"s soaring urgerncy and "Creature Lives"'…

I don't know if I agree with your portrayal of Mastodon being the Brent Hind show, Heller. This ignores two fundamental facts about Mastodon: 1) Bassist Troy Sanders does most of the vocal heavy lifting, and 2) Dailor is the primary lyrical and creative force behind Mastodon. But, what I'm saying? The main draw of…

Hey man, Tufts Grad Students need work too.
