Crack the Skye by Mastodon

 

the classical elements that are tied/conected with the different Mastodon albums are not so importent per se, but it ads a more conceptual depth and completion to the hole Mastodon franchise, its like a bouns effect to the album, since it tells the bands from different stages in its evolution, it make you wanna buy keep buy albums .

 

Remission which is loosely based on fire, it is easy to imagine that it can be viewd or compared to the birth of the solar system (lots of heat and fire), which images the birth to Mastodon as well, like a ball of fire, pulseating and explodes,

 

i often compare Remission to a cheramic owen on full

 

Leviathan is based on water, which means that it is calm and reflective in parts but in most parts deep, violent,  large, and overwhelming.

 

Blood Mountain is earth or rock, which indicated that this album is solid, tight as solid sediment, granite, hard punching and rumbling beast, but also deep and luminuss valleys

 

to me Crack the Skye is more spacy then airy, deeper and more filosofical it also features one song, the Quintessence which indicate something about something that are more then four, CtS reach beyond the atmophere it is out in space and beyond time. above the bounderys of the forth element Air

 

so have they jumped over one element or is CtS Air, to me it is not, it is Aether even if it is not logical in terms of the line/rule which elements are supposed to follow 

 

 

what say you

You can't beat a good old cheramic owen on full.
