| Although they have some prog elements I do not really consider them progressive, it's still mainly metal, none the less still a good band from what I've heard by them. They have a concept album out based on Moby Dick, which is all I've heard by them, if you like metal as much as prog it'd be worth while to check them out. |

I really wouldn't consider them prog but they are a really good band,and their new album Leviathan is awesome.Their drummer is absolutely SICK. -------------  |

The drummer sounds like Neil Peart and Christian Vander on speed and the new album has some prog passages on it. The vocals are mostly kind of a bark but the new album has some singing and mellower vocals to counterbalance. Just buy Leviathan, it's one of the best metal albums of the past decade easy. ------------- Prog is the new punk, becuase kids who shop at Hot Topic don't know Bill Bruford is God. |

| Like some people already said, it's not prog. Not at all, imo. But it's good enough metal. |

Certainly if you can appreciate metal Mastodon will appeal to the prog part of your mind at least. Top-notch use of dynamics and constantly shifting rhythms and tempos, think a more technical and extreme version of old Metallica. ------------- Prog is the new punk, becuase kids who shop at Hot Topic don't know Bill Bruford is God. |
