There’s something magical about hearing a song for the first time. Having my brain completely blank; to be taken on a journey where I am unaware of where I will end up. What an incredible masterpiece this song is. Maybe it’s the weed. Maybe not.

Brann is such a great drummer. One of the best of the modern age. But fuck. His vocals have gotten to a point that they may have become more impressive than the drum work. Unbelievable.

A relentless riff. A Burning bridge. A solo full of sorrow. I love this band.

"Say when, and I'll come running back", just hits me. Right band, right album, right time.

My fav song from the album so far.

Protect Brann's voice at all costs!!!

This is not normal, this is amazing. This entire album is a masterpiece and we were here to witness it.

Their catalog is becoming massively epic.

LYRICS: Will there ever be a moment I won't feel this heat coming up from ground? Will there ever be a time when I can show myself through open doors? All I need is you to tell me how to reconcile this guilt and shame I’ve already ripped myself to pieces and I've given it away All the weight lies upon my shoulders from The great disruption It's hard to breathe inside these waves of doubt Tidal distraction Can you tell me how to wish away this chaos making my head spin? Can you tell me how to soothe the savage beast locked up inside these walls? Will there ever be a place that I can hide and heal these open sores? Or do I have to cut them out and eat them as my people adore? All the weight lies upon my shoulders from The great disruption It’s hard to breathe inside these waves of doubt Tidal distraction I have, I have lost my way Reaching, reaching for today I have, I have lost my way Reaching, reaching for today Say when And I'll come running back Say when And I'll come running back Say when And I'll come running back Say when And I'll come running back

Opening is cool as shit, then BAM, CLASSIC mastodon riffage. Goddamn I love it

Seems like they weren't kidding when they said this is "the fullest, biggest-sounding record" they’ve done so far, and I can't be more excited to listen to the whole masterpiece when it releases! :)

4:35 and onward, but especially at 5:02 and beyond is enough to send someone crying with chills. What a piece of work/creation. Such complexity and melody with odd time signatures ....wow

Not since Rush have a prog rock band spoiled their fans like this. I have the full discography (physical media thank you) and we are so lucky to have Mastodon!

That ending absolutely slays

Something good came out of the pandemic. Thank You Mastodon

Say when and I’ll come running back…straight goosebumps..

This band is legendary. This album is without doubt a masterpiece.

This is the best Mastadon track I have heard for a long time. I haven't given them my attention since Crack The Skye but I might dip my toes back in!

Fulfilled an 8-year dream of seeing Mastodon live this week, in St. Louis. There is something amazing about shaking the hands of the guys who make the best music in the world.

“I have… I have lost my way” such emotion, it’s a wonderful piece of the song

Say when and I'll come runnin' back. That whole outro is something special. 🔥

Sludgiest track on the album and my god Brann's voice is so angelic and Troy's voice in the bridge is almost Peter Steele-esque followed by a really pretty riff and Brent takes us home with a tasty little outro solo that tastes just like Ritz cheese crispers!

This song is my absolute favorite so far. Shit is heavy as balls.

sweet jesus. this whole album is musically significant. a momentous event in the history of music.

I was pounding the ceiling of my car when I first heard this on my way to work this morning. Fucking amazing shit!

Brann is tearing these up

This sound is epic. Brann sound like Volbeat singer a bit on this one. These guys are so diverse with 3 singers. It gives them such an advantage musically and creatively. Hence the diversity. Awesome !

This album is getting a Grammy - come on it has too

Have fallen in love with Mastodon. Much love from India. Absolutely magical songs !!!!

Brans vocals off of the opening riff give me Chills.

This song is incredible. Killer riffs, killer vocals. Great job, dudes!

These riffs are so fucking heavy

Probably my favorite off this album. Killer verse guitar riff, awesome verse vocals by Brann, solid good ol switch off with Troy for chorus vocals and just when you think it couldn't get better you get a great change with a Dirty B solo and more Brann vocals. That ending just grabbed me and something about it was new but familiar and after several listens it struck me that it is very similar (but not stealing anything) to AIC's Nutshell in chord progression and in so evokes that same visceral emotion for me. Another solid Mastodon album and this is one of the highlights imo that keeps me running back.

Mastodon is one of my favorite bands, period. I really do love all of their albums, with Leviathan and CTS being my absolute favorites. This album is just so massive. I have to admit, upon my first 1-5 trips through it all, it seemed like every song was meandering aimlessly through chaos. The timing and riff changes seemed so abrupt, and unexpected, that every had this unfinished feel. I really didn't feel it from start to end. It was a lot to take in and try to understand. Now, fast forward to about the 20th time through this album, and I admit that this is entirely different level for Mastodon. The arrangements, the hooks and switches have become much more familiar and I now have a sense for where each song is meant to go. It's a thing of beauty. Thank you Mastodon.

The end of this track tears me apart every time. 🔥🔥🔥

@4:36, the tone in that guitar.... gives me chills. it's singing.

This album literally reaches in and touches your soul..

I just started listening to mastodon, and I gotta say that this track sit just above everything else I've heard so far. Absolutely gorgeous track

Dark! Groovy! And tasty at the same time! Long life to el Mastodonte!

Incredible song. In the best way possible, this is an awesome ode to Alice In Chains.

Brann’s vocals always deliver goosebumps, this one is insane!

Brann got a divorce during the making of this album. Now listen to 5:00 "Say when... and ill come running back"

Okay, it is my first Mastodon album i've listeden to, and I must say - AWESOME PIECE OF ART. Heavy, yet complex, precise, lyrics are meaningful, not lazy and dumb. There is some god's particle in this short song, where some part of listeners will experience clarification, comprehension of their current state and impulse to act. Although it's in minor key, song is uplifting. Cheers

"Saaaayyyy Wheeeennnnnn and I'd come runn'n back.. " on top of that riff and bass line, into that solo. Chills.

That outro is so chilling, love it.

They grow musically each and every album, And this song shows it perfectly!!!! 🤙🇺🇸🙏

Are they just getting better and better?? This is the best Mastodon song I have heard since the Crack the Skye era ! Amazing........

I’m on my second listen and I’m noticing a lot of tasty riffs; a good sign

Mastodon will always be the greatest band our universe has to offer!

And I'll come running back..... bring a grown man to his knees. I've made terrible choices in life. This song cut me so deep the first time I heard it. I wish I could fix the things I've done and heal the people I've hurt. Mastodon helps. Will there ever be a time when I can show myself through open doors.

From the "singles" I was getting very nervous this release wasn't going to be what I was hoping. I was wrong.... they did it again. The band can do no wrong.

Hairs stood up on back of my neck instantly when the riff kicked in.

Art is Art This is a masterpiece

This song is something special. The last two minutes is beyond words. Brent is amazing here too. I love how they left that little blip in there at 6:05. So good.

Nice job boys!!!! The West End Busker strikes again.

Southern Heavy. Hail thee Eternal Heavy 🔥

This whole album is for right now, the ending of this song makes me picture in my head better times, people celebrating, and the greatest comeback we’ll all ever make

That reverb on the low harmonies... That's just beautiful

4:15 that moment when youtube starts playing Korn, but its actually still mastadon

Everything during the "say when" part is one of the coolest things I've ever heard. Such a cool part. Everything in this album sounds great so far, I haven't heard but three songs.

I think this is the most complete song on the album, it works from start to finish and builds nicely. The pieces fit, the parts transition cleanly and the ending is epic.

THIS ALBUM IS AWESOME HOLY SHIT

It breaks my heart that this music is in the dark and not being exposed in main stream radio channels… so much talent, the world has forgotten what that is.

Alright so I know everyone says this “this is their best album yet what a masterpiece.” I’m not that guy. I liked all their albums and loved most of them, Hunter and OMATS were a little off for me, but then Emperor of Sand felt like a huge step in the right direction, and now Hushed and Grim….. this album really feels like the final form of their style. The style of mixing every good aspect of every good genre of rock and metal…. Like each album since crack the Skye was a version of this concept but this one feels like THE ONE…. Don’t normally gush about music like this but again this one hit perfectly and I can’t stop listening to it. Also the mix is perfect.

Well this is an absolute masterpiece.

With everything going on, I’m glad these guys are still around and doing well

The Beatles of Metal!

"Say When And I'll Come Running Back" Damn... The closing lyrics on this one destroy Me to the core upon ever listen! This song is Relentlessly beautiful and powerful to the very end!! 💪😌🤙❤💯

2nd Best song on a great album for me, gobblers of dregs is my favorite but this shit is so good too. The I have lost my way section of the song definitely my favorite but it’s all fantastic. Mastodon never misses. Also last night was an all time great night for music, new fantastic mastodon album, new fantastic be’lakor album and then some new solo music from the legend Jerry Cantrell. One of my favorite nights for music ever

One of the best tracks on the album! Mastodon are legends

My favorite song right now!!! Horry shiiyyaaat!!!

Who in their right mind would thumbs down this. Mastodon rules!!!

Hi from England fellow Mastodonians. At this moment this is my fave track, the pivot at 4:36 to the most epic uplifting outro is one of the best things I've ever heard. It's Frickin' Awesome!

This is a mood

The entire double album titled Hushed and Grim that this track is from is said by Mastodon to be dedicated it to their friend & manager Nick John who died in 2018 of pancreatic cancer. This song to me seems to be about the great loss of John and immense impact that his passing has had on the band over time.

How do tears not fall during this entire track. Fuck me.

That solo just cries. So articulate!

Mastodon O Mastodon how the hell do you keep doing this. Outstanding!! The most consistant metal band around today and one of the strongest back catalogues in metal history.

I've always had great respect for Mastodon, but this is the song that's making me love them.

Best Song from the Album from the First listening.these Riffs are sick.they are in top of their Game.opus Magnus.

4:30 on.. probably the best I have ever heard. Absolutely awesome!

It's a fucking beautiful song, thank you and well done. In an unrelated event I got something in my eyes and must go now.

Listened to this song once then went and bought the album on CD format immediately. Completely blown away by how good this track is!

can we talk about that solo at the end? such feel...dat boy got sum mean licks

This is a standout track from what is easily their best album since AT LEAST Crack The Skye. Still digesting his monster of an album but my expectations have been exceeded.

This album is a BANGER

Its crazy how Brann is a genius on percussion which is expected at this point and he still keeps pushing with the vocal melodies

This type is what I want from Mastodon

Crushing...precise...heavy as fuck...dayum...Mastodon rocks!

I'm loving every song so far on this album. Glad to see yall put the lockdown to good use.

The best metal band alive.

29 day count down.....south side ballroom, Dallas Texas !!!!! 😎🤘

Reminds me of the good ole' days of farmin in the back alley trench, thanks bois

Best song so far!

4:37 to 5:47….can’t get that out of my head. Brann’s finest vocal line

by far the BEST song on the whole album.

This album is awesome!!! May be their best to me. Every song is solid.

This band never fails to take me on a journey!

THAT RIFF!!!!!!!

I'm a 64yr old Rocker (YES OLD PEOPLE ROCK TO 😁🇺🇸💪) and Mastodon killed it with this one!!!! Keep on guys!!! 👍🇺🇸
