Title: A metal gem
Review: Mastodon have mastered complex metal, creating 10 of the most sonic and unique songs of the year.Tempo and groove are the key elements of this album. They are extremeley unconventional in their tempo (Megaladon is a great example of a diverse tempo that just shocks you). These guys can just destroy everything in sight (Blood and Thunder, Iron Tusk), create a true epic (Hearts Alive), or combine the 2 (Naked Burn, Island). And this is a truly TALENTED band. It is like a perfect fusing of jazz with extreme metal. It is mind boggling!
