Does anyone else not feel like kicking the guys ass who beat up Brent Hinds??

I read reports that Shavo Odadjian was involved, but it turned it was some Williams guy...

I mean, Brent was in fucking coma for a week and suffered brain trauma!!! i cant believe no one is out for blood over this.

Thats serious shit , i hope karma swings back his way for sure..and Shavo, fuck his ass too

Fans are only 'out for blood' when they're crazy. Knock yourself out.

Agree, when I first heard short clips of Divinations and Oblivion I was pissed. Hearing the album in full quality has me sold completely. This could very well end up being my favorite Mastodon album. Considering Leviathan would probably make my top 10 of all time, that makes it one helluvan album in my book.

Listened to the album a couple of times now. I'm not completely blown away, but still a fantastic album. I miss some of the aggression of the earlier albums. They've definitely grown as musicians. Vocally and production wise, this is their best yet.

Stand out tracks:
Oblivion
Ghost of Karelia
Crack the Skye (awesome guest vocals by Scott Kelly)
The Last Baron

Least favorite track:
Quintessence (not a bad song, but it needs to grow on me. Not quite sure about that chorus yet).

But yeah, I obviously need to listen to this a lot more (all great albums need repeated listens before being able to fully grasp the greatness.)

i think The Czar is my favorite track now. Last Baron is awesome too.

oh and way to bring back the big lebowski sig ^^^^^

theis · Mar 25, 2009, 03:21 PM

Hahaha! I can't go on for too long without a dose of Lebowski. I just found that sig and it cracked me up. Dude's annoyed and Walter's just munching. Haha.
