      Well it's a really personal one since it deals with the passing of their manager and it shows. Alot of songs on this album makes me feel melancholic. Especially Eyes of Serpent. I already thought that Emperor of Sand had alot of feels but this one is definitely another level. That's why I love this band. Every album is an experience

    I tried listening to this album in reverse song order for my 3rd playthrough and boy was it a good decision. When i first heard it, due to album’s length, I guess by the last few songs i was a bit tired. It was only when i listened to Gigantium and Eyes of Serpents with “fresh ears” that i finally grasped their brilliancy

    Teardrinker came out the moment I was really going through it, while being far away from my home. It genuinely helped me cope with my situation, come to better terms with what choices I've made, and drove me to get back home at all costs. Don't know if you dudes realize it, but you've touched a lot of people! Consensually!

    As a devout follower of thier career from the beginning. They never cease to amaze through their deep talent and growth for the nearly last two decades. I just love when band members can ne mature enough to realize that it is their collective effort that brings them success. When egos interfere, it usually has undesirable consequences. When there are replacement members, the dynamic changes. Fabulous work boys! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

Other guitarist writes solos and the occasional riff, drummer writes the bulk of the lyrics, bassist has a real knack for arranging. Both guitarists sing, and drummer screams.

Overall songwriting a think he Definitely didn’t really care but I very much enjoyed his solos and thought he showed up big in that area.

      @@voodude1074 Yeah, you can really tell there isn’t a lot of thought out into the solos. It sounds like he went into the studio for a day, they just handed him a guitar, and they went through a track going, “Okay, solo here.” and then moved on to the next one. The only solos on this record that don’t just feel like Brent one taking it are the ones on The Beast and Peace and Tranquility, which makes sense considering those are the two songs he actually wrote. But nothing here compares to the solos from something like Roots Remain or The Czar.

    "Our writing process has definitely differed from what it was back in the past."
    Divining the subtext of that, combined with the seeming disinterest during the making of Emporer of Sand, it seems Brent's interest in writing for Mastodon is waning greatly. I still love the band, but there's a reason Leviathan, Blood Mountain and Crack the Skye are what they are. The majority of the music of those albums was written by Brent.

      Metallica hasnt put anything good out since the black album though, so hopefully they are NOT this generations metallica.

      @@jacobwilson7030 nothing about this album is uninspiring, it’s been extremely well received. All of their albums are good too, nothing they’ve done is uninspiring and they keep doing new stuff.
