New Mastodon album just dropped. What do we think?
>>131376886I have had almost written off this band after once they started making albums like The Hunter, and while Hush and Grim showed improvement, I thought it would be the occasional blip of some inspiration in otherwise a continuation of their middling sound. But I am surprised just how well this album works. It is still in the end what you expect from Mastodon as they get older and remain in the prog metal camp with a tinge of sludge, but this album comes across as inspired and focused for the most part. Its like two songs too long overall but the fact that the last couple songs are some of their strongest material in a damn long time justifies it in the end to listen to the album all the way through. Weirdly, I think the album art is just OK, despite the effort put into it. Just feels like too obvious of a trippy new age type of visual piece, just a grab bag of various trippy visuals thrown together for the juxtaposition. Surprising as this is still their old artist who has done all the classic albums. But also I am starting to notice people (mostly on RYM) are starting to get indignant with the fact that supposedly the new keyboardist they hired as a permanent member is some Brazilian right winger. I feel like its going to end up being an easy reason for people to dismiss this album.
>>131376886Great album
>>131379375It's the best out of their previous 4
I thought they broke up when there was infighting with the red haired dude. I dont follow that closely though. Baroness was always the better band
>>131427548>Baroness was always the better bandEverything except for Red is mediocre
Who was the better singer?
>>131426025not everyone has soul
Layne by far.Cornell was good but he couldn't do low registers. His voice wasn't so versatile it mostly worked well in that screamed high register.Plus Layne had volume too, not just great phrasing and range. He freaking thundered on the stage in his good days.
Lanegan
The one that don't yarl
>>131425354Cornell is great on his own, Staley worked the best with Cantrell
I miss him

His arena shows are selling out in minutes. He's being booked as a headliner for festivals. His new music barely sells. His old music barely sold outside of collaborations. What is this phenomenon called what can he do to make people interested in his original music? Will he need to make more viral Ozzy tribute videos or will he eventually win over the public with his own music? Can he continue selling out arenas and eventually stadiums off of making Ozzy tributes? I don't see how he can sustain this success and it worries me.
>>131421865I would have bought it's not even 20 minutes of music for full price
>>131420935BLUD
>>131420935Literally who
>>131425490The new Ozzy Osbourne.
He's still doing the Ozzy tribute so he'll probably keep selling out arenas and festivals for a couple more years.
After suffering through creepy groomer culture of hair metal from hollywood, and then the gloomy kys grunge from the far left pacific northwest. America stepped forth with high energy High T rap rock from the heartland. 1995's 311 s/t was the palette cleanser that purified the music industry of the angsty slop of the Reagan erahttps://youtu.be/NoDsJAiseGg?si=460Gvj53O6j4PkZahttps://youtu.be/lYBIRHi5-o8?si=jLzBgz0q2xup6eKxhttps://youtu.be/JjTjtJDZomw?si=PkWHpnhn2CCqv7iZ
>>131423337With respect, I don't like either of those bands and I own a lot of 311 CD's.Transistor is probably as proggy as they get.
311
>>131423108lol yeah, and some one hit wonders like crazy town butterfly, lit my own worst enemy, len steal my sunshine fit that vibe too>>131423337Idk about that but Beautiful Disaster was pretty sick I'll give you that
>>131423519The thing about a good prog band is they never quite stop progressing, so that it moves into uncharted territory that might seem more universal. I'm thinking like Invisible Touch and how Rolling Stone magazine types miss that its a true prog record.As for 311, you could call Amber progressive in a certain light. Their heavy run like that was Transistor - From Chaos (Soundsystem was produced by Padgham!), but yeah nothing saying you have to like those other bands, just that they're slippery genre-wise.Check out "Sometimes Jacks Rule The Realm" for a real trad prog turn.

Just sold off a handful of my vinyl collection, gonna sell the rest once I get CD replacements for them sans a few sentimentals.
>>131424480>it’ll all end up in the trash when you dieWell believe it or not, I'm not the only human in existence who's into vinyl and collecting. It will likely be donated to a record store, gifted to friends, or sold off to another collector. And unlike you, my collection isn't small, so it'd be pretty wasteful to throw them all out.
>>131424203>will probably be a $1k record someday.Just get a savings account. Collections (with the intent of selling them for a profit) are gay as fucking hell. It won't be worth that, but let's say it does. You won't sell it, you'll say "this will be worth even MORE down the line!" and continue holding on to it, not using it. Hoarding is bad. Find a milf therapist like Dr. Robin Zasio before wasting your money and space on more useless garbage, like CDs.
>>131424203YOU ARE A GIRL WITH A COCK
>>131423988>sansdo you assholes really speak like this in real life?
I did the same thing. I only kept 1970's vinyl records that do not have an equal or superior sounding digital version (for example if the album exists digitally but only as a compressed master, I keep the vinyl), and then replaced everything else by early 80's CD's with known good masters. Went from 50-60 vinyl records and 0 CD's to 10 or so vinyl records and about 70 CD's.And for the normie stuff widely available such as random modern stuff I liked when I was younger like electronic music or whatever I just have flac files and done.

>>131424935Not really, your post was borderline incomprehensible. It's like seeing the sliding IQ of society in real time. All I got from it was that young zoomers are some of the softest, gayest trendchasers ever and they will never make anything of substance.
>>131427102You gaslighting retard. I'm telling you dude.1. Retards or Sadists post something online2. People believe the propaganda without thinking3. The influence is top down.I should've condensed it. It's not about Younger Zoomers because my peers in their early 20s are either posting it, falling for this shit or have nothing to do with it.

I'm trying to go back and remaster some 10+ year old guitar instrumentals, I released them on an album like 9 years ago but I always felt like the album was very amateur sounding.

It’s parody music for people that feel superior to everybody else. Every one of the songs I’ve heard from this guy he has a deep hatred and smugness against what he’s parodying. To pretend he’s even on the level of Weird Al is a sin. And if you ever saw his terrible skits he did before doing these shitty songs you’d know that he has always been this way.
He's much better than Weird Al
>>131426948He's much more Jewish than Weird Goy
