Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2005 This album is like having a steamroller run over you, only you somehow survive having your entire body crushed, so you get up and dust yourself off, only to have the steamroller come back for you, crushing your entire body yet again.

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2005 I've been in a metal mood, lately. And I'm outraged that the first response to this thread was from an Arcade Fire fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2005 Also, the other day, I finally listened to Mastodon's Leviathan again, for the first time since before seeing them back in May. Still not very big on this album, but it has some nice moments. Remission, on the other hand, is killer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2005 High On Fire is alright. I like how the vocalist does clean screams instead of the generic almost growling screams that's popular today. "Devilution" is a good tune, but something's missing from their music that I can't really point out. Maybe it's because I think they're too similar to Trivium, minus the ability to write some kickass melodic-yet-thrashy stuff (though I only like 2 or 3 Trivium songs, and think the rest is terrible). EDIT: Inc, check out the band in my avatar, Zombie Apocalypse. It's definitely not for everybody, and might take a couple listens to let it sink in, but I find their chaotic spaztastic hardcore to be quite excellent. http://mortiviventi.com http://www.myspace.com/zapocalypse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2005 I enjoy the Mastodon and Neurosis I've heard. Mostly though, I'm a fag. My opinion of their sucktitude stems from I saw them open at a show, and man were they dull. They weren't even sludgy at that point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2005 The CD of this album comes with a DVD of some live High on Fire footage. I'll grant Edwin that, based on what little of the DVD I watched, they had zero stage presence. They were boring. The sound was muddy, too, though I think that was more the equipment used to record the show than the band's fault. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
