I honestly can't pick a favorite. I started with Blood Mountain in 06 but Leviathan and Crack the Skye sound completely different yet completely on par with one another. That said I'm jonesing for the new album. I was so hyped when I heard David Botrill was producing. He produced one of my all time favorite albums.

@@SPMusic18 I learnt the dead roots stirring album, Some of Lore and Sanctuary from ROAFW. Beauty with Elder is all their songs have great riffs. I call them Sabbath infused mountain fight soundtracks. But I enjoy playing all the opening riffs off DRS. I personally have a lot of fun on Knot because it's a fun progression. And spirit at Aphelion is a lot of fun. But nah cant go wrong really

Elder is my jams! I got Reactor Core to do a few reactions to them, he loved Blind, Compendium, and Dead Roots Stirring. Still, I think they will be a sleeper hit for the masses. Their loss. Nick DeSalvo is a riff genius, I love teaching the opening to Sanctuary to my students. And who doesn't like playing in drop C? Reflections is probably my favorite album all-around, but I have all their tracks on repeat daily and rarely skip. I hope to get all their awesome vinyls someday, I only have the Gold & Silver Sessions so far.

YES. Such a good album. This was my first album I got into by this band, and they only get BETTER from here on out. Crack the Skye is my absolute favorite album and then the newest one they put out in 2017 which is Emperor of Sand. If I am not mistake, I believe this song won a grammy.

SO pumped that 'Colony of Birchmen' was covered - this is the song that REALLY transitioned me into heavier metal that I'd previously found a little difficult to get into. I was pretty addicted to these fast paced driving songs, the faster side of stoner or sludge metal. After MTV(RIP) bombarded me with this music video in high school, I finally listened to a full Mastodon album front to back(Leviathan) and "got" it(gotta be one of the best major modern bands at constructing albums). Would LOVE to see another really significant band for me around this time, and their breakthrough single... Hurt - 'Rapture' ...but it's GOTTA be the 5:40 long version; the 4:18 radio edit is a total butcher job, offensively so

@brandongrayson456 2 жыл бұрын

@RyTrapp0 2 жыл бұрын

@@brandongrayson456 Yea man, Hurt was(and still is) one of my favorite and most influential bands after listening to Vol 1 beginning to end first time. Heard 'Rapture' on the radio and had to find that album, and it just changed how I thought about constructing music, much like NIN 'The Fragile' did 5 or 6 years earlier. Been tossing some comments for them out there to different 'reactors' because I think the biggest problem Hurt had was just getting heard in the first place, would like to see new people hearing their stuff.

@brandongrayson456 2 жыл бұрын

@@RyTrapp0 volume one and two are awesomely good albums...I was 17 when both those albums came out. Even back then no one knew of them. Dr heir writing and construction of an album is where they shine. No one in the band is a show off which is why I think not many know of them, everyone wants fast heavy and in your face. No one cares about constructing a solid album anymore it's all about the singles

@matthewpowell6163 2 жыл бұрын
