not crap because (frantic drum roll please...) noah leger said so.

I've been listening to a promo of the new album. It isn't crap.

If you like Mastadon, check out Baroness - their second EP, "Second" was all of the things I like about Mastadon without all of the things I don't.

I think it's like $7 from Aquarius. Really, check it out.

Saw these guys last night. They were flat out amazing. Their encore epic "Hearts Alive" was incredible.

I just saw them at Webster Hall (is it just me or is the sound in that venue always complete shit?). While I like Mastodon just fine, I cannot stand their drummer.

Yes, he has "chops." But his drumming is like a purple-sequined coat wrapped around a disco ball. Wait, I take that back. It sounds as if I'm condemning "busy" drummers which is not the case (Jim White is a "busy" drummer but also creative as fuck). It's that he does the same fucking thing each time all the time. So ridiculously busy and flashy yet ALWAYS the same fucking fill. Always. Roll across those toms, boy howdy...

Mastodon, you are NOT CRAP but a significant WF for probably the most overrated drummer that I can think of at the moment.

Mastodon will be on Conan O'Brien tonight (Nov. 1), according to my digital cable INFO button.

Mastodon!

KICKASS.

Awesome! Thanks Burun! My TiVo has its marching orders...

Blood Mountain: Too much fuckin' around with art rockin' and melodic vocals, not enough skull crushing.

Crap.

There was no bass when I saw them in 2002.
There was no tonight.
This is a band that should never play live and only release records where the bass can be heard.
