#2653 Mastodon - Emperor of Sand

This sounds like a fucking incredible lost 90's album, and I mean that in the best, most sincere way.

Listen to the vocal / guitar drones of Precious Stones / Steambeather, and tell me those couldn't be the best lost Soundgarden songs you ever found. Like, with way better drums, vocals, and guitar solos. Fucking, Steambreather's the best song Korn never made.

Mastodon's totally shed its hard metal cred, and I'm ok with that. This is hooky // listenable // great, however you wanna cast it. It swoops and swoons and drops the hammer again and again, striking a balance of hard/soft that our teen year hacks could hardly dream of 4/5
