An epic album by American tech metal band Mastodon. Very interesting concept of making music. Being
the first album by Mastodon, I have listened to, I felt some Amorphis-like moments here. Amorphis is
one of my favourite metal (not rock) bands, but regretfully here I feel some of the spirit of their
less good albums. Some of the solos and the vocals are very similar to Amorphis. Crack the Skye is
full of dynamic tunes, but not very catchy for non-metal prog fans. Moreover, at the middle of the
album I've already felt a kind of boredom, which's not very good for me. I don't want to say the album is bad. It's good, especially if you listen to it song by song, all of the songs are sooner positive than negative, but as an album it's sooner negative than positive. Good everyday album for metal fans, but it lacks of something really special and astonishing. My rating goes for something between 3 and 3.5 stars, more likely about 3.1 - 3.2 stars!
