What do people think of the new Mastodon track? I think it is disappointing. But ultimately The Hunter grew on me; so the album may come together well around the track as a whole.

The artwork is amazing but the music is boring, those choruses.. why? yawn yawn yawn. I got bored of the hunter pretty quickly, sadly. They really just seem to me like a band that is in cruise control. You just have to compare that to Leviathan or Blood Mountain to see what I mean. Maybe the rest of the album will be more interesting & raw?
 
I don't think it will, from what they've been saying. I agree with your sentiments; Leviathan is a masterpiece in my book and Mastodon have descended since then. But they seem to be genuinely and thoughtfully into their new style which is all you can ask for when bands evolve: integrity.
 
Blood mountain is one of my all time favourite albums, as a perfect mix of the raw brutality of leviathan and more melodic and technical crack the skye.

Hunter was a huge disappointment in my books.. such a step back for them (IMO, not theirs) and seems like they're still going in that direction with the latest release.

Looking forward to this album but although they're all amazing musicians, I expect the sum of all parts will be less than I am hoping for. These 2 are pretty listenable though.

There's something not quite right about it hey

I think it's just that they're trying to jam so much creativity into shitty repetitive Cavalera riffs. Troy, Greg & David all come from bands with really interesting platforms to build upon. It's boring...

Greg shouldn't be playing guitar he should he charging around smashing shit.

And walking on top of people.

the album is streaming now. I'm currently 1/2 through, it's decent but still sounds like a 3-man circle-jerk. Probs won't listen to it again ever.

Weedeater are coming to Australia!
Another band I never thought I'd get a chance to see live.
Fat assed* southern grooves and cough syrup vocals.

Lynyrd Skynyrd covers too. If you don't like Skynyrd, I cannot take your musical opinion seriously.

Austrian Death Machine- a great band that writes songs based around Schwarzenegger quotes. This is one of my favourites, "I'll Be Back".
