Very commercial sounding. Kind of bland and the chorus seems a bit Ozzy'ish. It picks up with the end's instrumental passage but other than that it's quite simple.. A weak 3/5 or 2.5/5.. Hoping for better material. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

Yeah, this is probably a fine song for commercial radio, but it doesn't move the prog needle at all. Hoping for better material indeed. ------------- And if you can't be with the prog you love, honey, love the prog you're with. |

pretty cool, Nice riff and fits into the Mastodon mentality of not be doing what the fans wants but what the band want. -------------

Yes, they seem to have progressively turned to less progressive material with every new release so no surprise for me. Typical heavy/stoner-sounding riff, nice but that's about it... |

Didn't hold my interest at all, which is a first for Mastodon

I think there is a ghost theme/horror/mystery "theme" on the album, vail not a concept album, but 5 of the 11 tracks alludes to horror / ghosts and mystics .
