I haven't been a huge Mastodon forever but this is my favorite album of the year by far and CTS was amazing. So yeah, they've certainly won me over with this release coming after CTS. I think both CTS and The Hunter are about on the same level for me personally. They are just different animals to some extent (CTS obviously being a concept album). Although the tracks on The Hunter are stand alone in nature it seems I've found myself listening to the thing from beginning to end every time.

Seems more like a B-side collection the more I listen to it.Respectfully I'd have to disagree, listening through this album each and everytime, every song pulls me in and has its own special connection that makes it what it is, Each track is chock full of great things which makes it a full listen through everytime as Idon't want to skip any songs.

Orion....that's the one with a bunch of power chords and boringly harsh vocals, isn't it?
But Kotow is right .
I like this album a ton more than Crack the Skye. And I love CtS.
Gadough isn't Hitler. He's much, much worse.

Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.
This Mortal Soil is so damn underrated.
The guitar riff under " The atmosphere that floats above the earth is corrupt for man - this we know [ riff ] What has dwelt within the early dawn has gone away - its ok "Reminds me of Jelly Belly by Smashing Pumpkins.
At this very moment This Mortal Soil is blowing my mind... blowing my mind....blowing my mind....blowing my mind....

I felt its length in quite a few places.
That video alone proves why all vocals should be done by Troy. Brent shouldn't be allowed near the mic.
