Prior to this album, I only owned CtS. I loved it and spun it regularly for 6 months but back then I was buying 50 albums a year and was on to something else. No clue why but I never bought another work of theirs. Well, that was a mistake. I've gone down a Mastodon rabbit hole, binging on their discography and holy crap, what an amazing band! So many great songs. Every album is outstanding. Love hearing how they changed and experimented from album to album.
