You are right about Godhead's Lament being their best song!   :hat

I'm going to Amsterdam this weekend so there won't be any updates till Sunday night - I'll do a few more today to make up for it.

I admit, I'm surprised to see those Opeth albums so low.

Nice to see Opeth, and 2 fantastic albums that don't get nearly as much cred as they deserve. :)
Leviathan is also great, even though i prefer Blood Mountain slightly over it.

MAYH just beats you in the face with it's massive bear cock (read: insanely heavy riffs).

I was sitting a traffic light blaring Space Dye Vest and next to me in another car was Kevin Moore. And I'll never be open again.

Awww, no CtS on the list then?  :(  Oh well, love Leviathan too (especially "Megalodon."  Definitely up there as one of my favorite heavy riffs ever.  You know the one).  I knew you liked MAYH, but I didn't expect it to beat Still Life if it showed up on this list at all.  Definitely an album that gets overlooked far too often.  Listening to it on vinyl is one of the best metal experiences ever.

Crack the Skye was a huge disappointment IMO, and if Mastodon keeps going into "that" direction, then i'll probably loose interest in them. :/

Leviathan has some great songs but as a whole it's a graveyard of boring riffs and songs.

Crack the Skye is my favorite by Mastodon... But I only have this one and Blood Mountain so I guess I'll check out Leviathan eventually.

42. Mastodon - Leviathan: Lightning riffs, sludgy psychedelia, and whales; Leviathan pretty much has it all. While many point to Crack the Skye as being Mastodon's best work, Leviathan as a whole just feels so much better – more interesting riffs, a rawer production that works much better with Mastodon's sound, and just more memorable songs in general.

39. Amesoeurs - Amesoeurs: At first glance shoegaze and black metal are not genres that would mix well together, but the french have repeatedly proved that wrong with bands such as Les Discrets, Alcest, and, most notably for me, Amesoeurs. Leaning more to the shoegaze rather than black metal side of things, Amesoeurs' first and last album is absolutely gorgeous. Rich textures, a great variance in the songwriting, and most obviously Audrey Sylvain's fantastic vocal work all combine to make an album that overshadows every other offering from the genre.

38. Barenaked Ladies - Gordon: The debut album from BNL remains my favorite even after listening to it for nearly half of my life (!). What's interesting to me about Gordon is that when I first got into the album I didn't understand much of the humor in the songs (it's difficult for an 11 year old in 2001 to get references about being a high school freshman in the 80s), but yet I still adored the album. In hindsight, that really just speaks to how strong the songwriting on the album is; just looking at the tracklisting there isn't a bad song on the album, and if I tried to cite the strong songs I'd end up listing half the album. To put it simply, Gordon is an album that manages to couple fantastic songwriting with a great sense of humor.

37. Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From a Memory: DT's best album. Great music, their best vocal melodies, and I love the musical reprises of Metropolis Pt. 1. I'm not sure what else there really is to say about it.

Cool to see Amesoeurs on the list, especially since that's one of the many many albums i downloaded last week, and it's in my "need to check out"-pile.
Awesome.  :tup

wat.

Glad to see some appreciation for BNL.  They don't get talked about much.  Cool to see Scenes on the list too, though I'd put it behind I&W and 6DoiT.

So given your trip to Amsterdam, can we expect to see Coldplay's A Rush of Blood to the Head? :neverusethis:

CTS is a good album, but there's too much material on it that's just totally forgettable.

I used to think CTS was Mastodon's best, but my opinion of Leviathan seems to grow every time I listen to it, more so than BM or CTS. I couldn't pick a favorite they're all great for me.

Following this list. Enjoy Amsterdam, even if you are missing Protest The Hero / Born of Osiris for it. Look out the Hotel Ben! And don't be fooled by the waffles, they're not as tasty as they look, especially for €5!

We're ranking Mastodon releases? I think I've done this before, but

Leviathon > Remission > Call Of Mastodon / Lifesblood / Slickleg EP > Blood Mountain > Crack The Skye

Crack the Skye really does nothing for me I'm afraid.
