I don't know - I'm not really big fan of these guys, but I like this. I like his singing a little more than what I recall live and from past efforts.

Sounds good to me!!

Kinda like a strange combination of Led Zeppelin and Iron Maiden (let's see how badly I get punched for that one around here).

What I've heard of the new album so far sounds like Mastodon got together and simply started kicking ass, and moved away from Crack The Skye's lenghty songs and multitracking. I like this stuff... simple (well simplier) and straight to the point.

WOLF I can really see what you mean by that Led Maiden thing.

I'm digging this pretty hard. I've never been a big Mastodon fan but I might actually give this whole disc a spin when it comes out.

I know I'm going to check the album out so I think I'll just wait, not the biggest fan of listening to samples before albums drop. Still interested to hear what people think though...

Crack the Skye was solid, but way overhyped. Leviathan is still God Mode. This song makes me very happy.

I'm with DB, not a big fan of anything else Mastodon has done due to their vocals but this one is actually sounding pretty good to me! \m/
