Overrated?
I have to admit, I came away from this album a wee bit disappointed. It's not bad by any stretch of the imagination, but IMHO the band have lost a lot of the heft and lumbering aggression that made their first EP and album so memorable.
I much preferred Sulaco's latest long player - featuring none other than Brann & Bill's ex-Lethargy/Today Is The Day bandmate, Erik Burke - it's angular, and aggressive, but retains that organic, free-flowing feel Mastodon have made their trademark. In many ways it's the album I hoped Blood Mountain would be.
