You guys need to get out of that Disturbed thread and come and listen to some decent music right here.
Very underwhelming track. As usual, Mastodon have a lot of talent, but little clue what to do with it. Another collection of riffs without a song. Love the basslines though, very Meshuggah-esque.
He only said it was “decent music,” man. Maybe you should stop blaming Mastodon and not get your hopes up!
Is it me or does the song sound a little more accessible to the masses (mostly the distinguishable lyrics/clean singing), which dare I say may be a good move for Mastodon?
I’ll second “decent”. Not bad, but not awesome. Looking forward to hearing the rest.
Better than Disturbed, you bunch of whingers.
It’s solid as fuck. I’m not blown away, but certainly not disappointed either.
and Surly, what the hell is a whinger? Is that like the Aussie version of a wanker?
Well HBB, ‘whinger’ is dervied from ‘whinge’-
-
whinge/(h)winj/
Verb: Complain persistently and in a peevish or irritating way.
Noun: An act of complaining in such a way
-
So, therefore a person can be classified a ‘whinger’.
-
A typical comment would be, “Go have a cry somewhere else, you whinger.”
Like it, I like the part that starts at 1:50. I really loved the last two albums, looking forward to this one,
