I don't think it's too bad of an effort for a band that had been away for too long (pun totally intended). About half of the songs are pretty damn good, and the other half are good at best, merely okay at worst. I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it but I still revisit a handful of songs once in a while, and I'm…

I've always thought they were equal parts Zeppelin and Sabbath. Obviously their heavier songs show the Sabbath influences more, but something like like the guitars in "Burden In My Hand" or "Head Down" scream Zeppelin to me

I roll my eyes at super-macho bullshit as much as the next guy (or girl), but c'mon now, every once in a while you have to just loosen up and enjoy something for its masculine badass machismo.

Yeah, they've come up with a shitton of memorable riffs. Too bad they don't meet your ridiculously high metalhead standards, buddy.

Let me say that "Keep Your Eyes Peeled" is one hell of an opener. Sure, it doesn't bust down doors like "…Millionaire", but it sets such a badass mood right off the bat. Even if I hadn't seen the animated video, I could easily picture some leather-clad troublemaker slinking into a scummy back-alley bar and fucking…

yes, because a band should only be popular when they strike a chord with YOU, Mr. Special Snowflake

Mastodon have always had a sense of humor, this is nothing new

I love the end of the flyer scene, when Kevin is on his computer and the window with Richardson dancing pops up. Then Kevin looks around his room in bewilderment.
