widely regarded as a classic by metalheads. kind of a bold statement that it doesnt get the credit that it deserves. in fact there has been more bitching that Mastodons current output doesnt resemble Remission. Just saying.Sir Loin wrote:<b>Mastodon</b>- <i>Remission:</i> As an admittedly huge Mastodon fan I must say that this record doesnt get the credit from fans that it deserves. For me this is their second best album(very close race with CTS) because their are no bad songs imo. This album is just brutal vintage Mastodon with Brann going nuts on the drums for 50 minutes.

Magnetic Men are Artwork, Benga (in sweater) and Skream. Katy B is the chick; she guests on one other track on the album. First vid - cowritten/prod. by Benga- charted in the UK, second is its b-side. No album yet.CRASH DDZ wrote:who is the chick ??? and the black guy in the sweater looks real familiar.Dee el Hugely wrote:

I always hear other Mastodon fans talking about Leviathan more than Remission and thats kind of what I was getting at. I know that Remission gets credit from the community at large for being a great album but in my experience with other fans they always talk about Lev or Blood Mountain. Maybe I've just met some fringe metal fans that have only heard their newer stuff.catfish hunter wrote:widely regarded as a classic by metalheads. kind of a bold statement that it doesnt get the credit that it deserves. in fact there has been more bitching that Mastodons current output doesnt resemble Remission.

I dont know if I even have the patience to sit through Leviathan again. Remission has always been my go to album but I tend to be a bigger fan of the straightforward assault and less interested in the majestik proggy noodling so prevalent in metal today. With Mastodon that style works but I think they were at their finest when they were more bludgeoning early on.Sir Loin wrote:I always hear other Mastodon fans talking about Leviathan more than Remission and thats kind of what I was getting at.
