#2652 Mastodon - Cold Dark Place

Mastodon doubles down on the accessible sound of Emperor of Sand, going prettier, more baroque, and piled higher with impossibly choice guitar parts.

Choice. like a cut of meat. a selection that prioritizes QUALITY. I mean Blue Walsh. Goddamn.

By now Mastodon's fully shed any metal expectations. They're just making gorgeous guitar-driven music. Sometimes it sounds like goddamn M. Ward.

This's an EP that exudes __confidence.

Pretty, subtle, all the proginess buried in the folds, all the hatred simmering deep underneath, seducing you and running a cut right along your grinning gut 4/5
