I was thinking the exact same thing. Love it!

I was thinking that and “Until It Sleeps” also. So rad!

Same here. Looked down and seen your comment.

thank you I was thinking the same thing

grunge vibes

To be honest my favorite peanut butter ever was this organical natural peanut butter dispenser, you Could get some in a provided small of large cup to purchase. Fuckin crunchy. MMM!

I get the analogy, but I don't like peanut butter. I also like the old stuff way more. The new stuff isn't bad I just don't love it, it doesn't grab me the same.

Oh, absolutely!

What a absolutely fantastic analogy for a bands sound.. kindly tips fedora good sir

It shows a band in transit. Why on earth would you stop moving with such talent. All hail peanut butter!

Sorry to hear that. I wish it had come out sooner. My mam passed in 2018

Rocknroll lives thru them and you and me , screaming yeah!!!

Nuh uh

So awesome! Good for you and have fun out there.

54 years old man here. Saw them live about 3 years ago. Felt like somewhere between 17 and 36 during the show

👏👏👏

49 year old male. And so think they’re the best metal band going. They just keep getting better

My favorite band also!

hell yeah

The fact that he can sing so well whilst kicking ass on drums is so impressive. Love Mastodon!

Couldn't agree more- great voice!

And the fact that he can still play drums with the very same precision and skill whilst doing vocals is just insane.

Which is why I've closed the book on them.

What about quintessence?

This song is perfect

Agree with all of that..except the intelligent lyricism. The words are a kind of meaningless afterthought as far as I can tell.

AGREE ! :)

Yes. This. The riffs, the chunky yet super groovy effects, the contrasting vocals, the bridge letting it breathe and blistering solo, and the psychedelic visuals. Gotta love it.

Yeah, I saw this live a few weeks ago. I’d say I was peaking on my hit of acid/little bit of mushrooms that I ate. When this song was playing. And it was very haunting like you said. Between the distortion they put on his voice, the lights/effects. They really captured the vibe of this video. Oh man, it was so awesome. I had never even really listened to Mastodon before either. Fan for life now haha.

yeah man in this one and eyes of serpents, gives me chills

THIS IS MASTODON!

@@AVAB593 here here

Lol do you mean magma? 🤣🤣🤣

Liquid hot magma.

"Magma" sounds more correctly.

Lmfao, somebody obviously gave him a sock

Yeah i saved him!!! I tricked Harry by making him believe Dobby died and i couldn’t do anything to save him! I’m the best witch out here that could ever exist

He's been raging with Gandalf (Troy)

they did when I saw them live around a month at. It sucked

I was just going to say that I have yet to be disappointed by them!

They Mastodon't! best band nowadays.

@@Ljngstrm I really like them when I saw them about 4 years ago but the music they make now is really bad it fell off after once more round the sun kinda evens before that

@@Ljngstrm huh, I honestly find that a bit perplexing. I've lost count of exactly how many times I saw them, and I always found their performance to be consistently topnotch, and I'm kinda a snob about live music.

That's great to hear. It took me a while to get into them as they're quite proggy in places and not a traditional metal band. ♥️

All of their albums really stand alone, if you want heavy Mastodon, you listen to the early stuff like Remission and Leviathan, if you want the trippy stuff you have CtS and Hunter, and the new stuff is a mix of it all tbh.

@@svfutbol20 thanks, yea that’s what I’m finding. Once More ‘Round the Sun doesn’t seem to be as well regarded by fans. I’ve only heard a few songs and seems to be a simpler rock sound but not necessarily bad.

@@VipersNest I like a good prog sound, have enjoyed Iron Maiden’s prog era over the past decade or so. Even though different from their classic 80s albums.

How dare you! Now go sit on the naughty step and think about the meaning of life for a while. Seriously though; welcome to the fold. You have a lot of material and a lot of wonderful experiences ahead of you! I'm really quite jealous.

The band might deserve the award, but does the award deserve the band?

BET award?

@@justinschexnayder8485 Yes, and he Kentucky Derby too

Their sngwriting is always above the norm and just so good. 🤘🏾

That's what happens when you're the best band in the world.

I thought the riff was reminiscent of one of Greg Puciatos songs, but the way it works through to the repeat changes. Still a legit and amazing riff!

Those snare hits are just amazing on the main part. So much impact

Check out new Porcupine Tree

I was going to post the sane thing!

@@todd-1 DO IT! DO IT!

Ok guys...here goes...I know that Brann has been singing on the albums for a while now but he's really come a long way and really brought a new life into to full vocal delivery of Mastodon.

Always loved Branns voice, very unique, almost haunting sound.

While still keeping the same insane level of skill and talent on drums

Was still deep in the hell that was the woman I loved and lived with for seven years leaving me for the man she cheated with when I first heard this song and saw this video. The cold agony of hurt and despair and un releasable heart ache you feel while watching the only person that really matters to you commit to such acts of betrayal and enjoying how much its hurting you even though they wont fully admit it, the Pain of having to watch them become someone who is irreversibly transformed from who they were when they loved you and how much this new world they left you for is thrilling them. The "Say when and id come running back" line hits me so hard because even though in my situation I knew my woman had eaten the apple and become tainted by it, leaving no chance at ever rebuilding what we once had, I still, more than two years hence feel her absence and would have for a very very very long time, maybe even now in the right circumstance, gone running back myself. chick really fucked me up. fuck this is such a perfect sound for the emotional longing. mastodon forever.

Suffering helps us grow though right?@@danielr5157

noooo, she's a strong independent woman, she knows what she's doingg, she's capable of her own decisions

@@danielr5157 I hope you're doing better man, people are selfish, you should believe only in yourself, because no else is true as Ozzy said in Under the sun, it does get better, but you will never be the same person you were before.

I think every person who's suffered a negative breakup gets this one. As my dad said when I was going through mine, 'plenty more fish in the sea, son.'@@danielr5157

Bump for the lyrics homie

You are a gentleman and a scholar

Beautiful

All too human, all too real. I love when lyrics point out the same very personal and daily struggles that I go through, that we all go through.

I always be shouting out "show less" when the guitar fades out at the end

my wife hates metal singers but was like "hey he has a good voice"

Bill has started singing live this tour as well!

@@benjammn2157 Bill has been doing back vocals occasionally, check some live videos for 'March of the Fire Ants'

The drummer has sung as far back as Crack the Skye. Maybe even earlier, but I know for sure Crack the Skye. "I tried to bore a hole into the ground..." that part on oblivion is Brann. Pretty sure every member of the band sings on almost every record.

He has the voice of an angel. Blew my mind seeing them live

man perfectly said

Exactly the same happened to me, live it was a mind explosion that made me travel far!

Me too. So awesome hearing it live. So beautiful.

Same here I see them in hellfest it was the best part of my fest

Yup, thats when I realized drummer.

Same, saw them once in Hollywood and again in Riverside. So incredibly heavy live

They just keep getting better with each release.

'Roots Remain' is Brann's opus, simply awesome vocals.

He's such a nadass drummer

Badass

@@ManGoPro1 once more round the sun had a buncha good bran vocals

Badass lyrics guys! LONG LIVE MASTODON!

Will she say when? Have a safe place for us? Still exist a place to return? Above all the mistakes and the choices, forget until you know the time is right.

I agree Brann is pretty awesome at vocals. But my man Bill does amazing vocals on the tracks!!!

@@adamvalerio1377 you mean live? Cuz Bill doesn't do studio stuff.

@@kidnamedalaska lol, I know buddy, it's just a running joke I have on Mastodon videos. I always make some comment about Bill's great singing, when he almost never sings, lol.

@@adamvalerio1377 some of his live growls are actually really good, like on March of The Fire Ants

The band letting/trying Brann to do vocals was one of the best decision they did on their career

The ending chords and solo could go on for so much longer. That would be totally fine with me. I’m talking like 10 minutes longer

Absolutely! I almost start to cry it's just so damn good!

@@dereklinfitt8875: U beat-me-2-it. Precisely what I was thinking. A melody so strong, I could loop 3:35-6:45 for 30mins on the treadmill, E-Z.

I can't believe you left out the drummer /s

Making a statement like that will surely get you arguments. Sweeping claims of "best song ever" only identify you as a fan of THIS song. This is a comment a 12 year old would make. This is generic metal, done before, over hyped with a gaudy video that looks like it was copied poorly from a 30 year old Nirvana video (Heart Shaped Box). This isn't even the THOUSANDTH best song ever.

That vocal delivery is euphoric. This is one of favorite bands ever because of the sheer magnitude of artistry in every single one of the band members

Those two lines make me break down in tears almost every time. Hearing it live almost sent me into emotional shock. Mastodon is the perfect band to me. From sound to psychology. They don't target emotional topics like boyfriend girlfriend dramaz, they target nostalgia, which is the most driving emotion to me.

@@diglis1033 i feel the very same ...

This song is like heroin

@@jotunbjorn well great now I gotta do heroin again while listening to this thanks pal 👍

I'd love to hear your version of this masterpiece !

@@jotunbjorn don't do heroin

@@casuallabour665 Solid advice, honestly...

@@kurtangusofficial Link? Or care to simply explain it? Thanks!

Felt that. I'm only 31 but I have alot of regrets.

The author(s) are expressing their guilt for not being able to walk away from Their passion of being in the band despite being away from family/friends🥲 and they do it for themselves and for us😌🤘🏻

The only people who should feel guilt are people who are actively and knowingly harming people….

Check out their last album Emperor of Sand. Lots of good stuff.

true

I appreciate this comment S.Jigg. Thank you.

Sink coming up from ground*

@@notsure1969 uhhh... nope

@@notsure1969 nope. It's heat

Total genius lyric’s

Well, those worda really hit me hard at heart.

No they didn't. The peak was Blood Mountain + Crack the Skye, after that it was a slow slide down and gradual increase of self-repetition. 10 years ago Mastodon was unique, now it's a generic metal band. This song is a prime example, predictable and repetitive. It sounds tired, and it's tiring to listen to this. Even Brann's drum fills sound generic now.

Agreed! Up there at the top of best Mastodon songs ever.

That outro riff is monstrous! One of my all time favorites.

It's by far the best song on the album

Same here. Love this song!

Agreed.

Damn straight. That solo in Oblivion is probably one of the most intense musical experiences I've ever had.

Brent’s solo open a whole different layer to a already amazing song

In my top 3 guitarists, especially coming from the last 20 years he's just so consistent, same with the band.

i agreed with you

I agree but am having a hard time picking a favorite song or vocals from this album. So many masterworks on this one.

It’s like Today by The Smashing Pumpkins imo I love it

Strong Heart Shaped Box vibes, yeah

Smh

@@romanoid And very Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden

What the heck

Same here man, it's like my life and all it's event's especially heartbreak flash during that part! SAY WHEN! AND I'LL COME RUNNING BACK!

The solo is fire!

When he nails the harmonies with the main riff, chills man. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Brings me to tears almost every time it's that chilling

That section seriously reminds me of the ending of Alter Bridge - Show me a Sign. Just pure melancholy bliss.

@@grabber_blu_angel Dalton I appreciate you but keep Altar Bridge out of this GD thread. God bless.

@@welp3904 Mwahahha. But you right. I nearly spit out my dessert when I read his shit. 😂

It's epic. Entire album is stunning.

Who died?

@@rauldominguezgonzalez6497 Their manager, Nick John, pancreatic cancer. They did a tribute cover of "Stairway to Heaven" in his honor; an incredibly ballsy decision as that song is largely considered untouchable. Of course they smashed it out of the park.

Definitely!

can´t think how that could be said in a bad way

@@xphantasmax5451 lol, spot on

Yes! Knew it sounded familiar.

Thickening gives me some AiC vibes too.

Cant. You are 100% right.

Dirty B Hinds is criminally underrated as a lead player!

Cookie cutter comment is cookie cutter.

I've been listening to them since i was 14. I'm 31 now. Man time flies.

all of what you said and also there was a Soundgarden concert I had on VHS that had these vibes. The Grunge is real here

the aesthetic of the video maybe, but the music is way above whatever is termed, "grunge"....

yeah, its the "paper" props with the weird greenscreen

This shit barely screams grunge, you just trippin

@@MyDemon32 not the music the visual for sure give a heart shaped box vibe. Or alice in chains nutshell. at least 49 people are trippin :P

Do it! They're an incredible band, and impressive musicians!

Go listen to Crack The Skye, it's their best album imo

Oh man, you are in for a great experience!! Highly recommend listening to Crack the Sky all the way through in order when you have the time to spare. It’s an other worldly experience

Same and I was not disappointed

Welcome 🤙🤙

Nope

that's actually the best thing, it makes them exotic :D

I've tried so many times already, and yet here I am trying again... I know they're awesome, the day will come when I get into them!

​@@marcelogodinho8751I felt the same until I saw them play live yesterday, it's a vibe.

@@marcelogodinho8751 It actually took years and multiple listens for Mastodon to click with me and now they’re one of my favorite bands. Listening to Blood Mountain in its entirety like 2-3 times was what finally made it click for me.

They did really good on the demon, better than most movies I've seen.

🎸🎶

EXCELLENT decision. 🤘😎🤘 They started out SUPER gritty, and every album becomes more and more prog/"album-rock", in a sense: Not to box them in, just expressing that most of their albums are comprised of songs that -if you want to/have the time- will take you on a ride when listened to as one single work of art. Blood Mountain is always the album I point people towards, for a sampler platter of all the different flavors of Mastodon- but it's your journey- when it is time, trust your gut on the next album to discover. Also- if you like stupid humor and goofy ridiculousness, watch the short 3-5 minute video series "Cooking With Mastodon" on KZfaq. Hilarious.🤣

Yep !

Go back in their catalogue and listen to the Blood Mountain and Crack The Sky albums. You’re welcome

Yep this is it
