JONAH HEX: REVENGE GETS UGLY EP

It breaks another idea of mine. I never thought that Megan Fox will make it on front page (this album was yesterday's most viewed one, therefore because she is on the cover of this album, she is on front page - life is weird sometimes and quite joking guy)

Really, I'm aware that imagination of people is endless, as more and more insane combinations of different styles proves, I know that these things are happening, but Prog Metal doing songs based on Western themes, it's unique (as far as I know).

And Mastodon are the right one to do it.

20 minutes of regular songs + 12 more minutes of alternative ones (I wouldn't say unused, because they are used, here). Sadly, I haven't seen the movie yet, so I can't evaluate how it fits into Jonah Hex. It's too unusual to guess it.

And music itself is neat. No Death Metal growls, no weird experimental stuff, just good, old caliber Prog Metal (with a lot of changing paces, layering - especially in Indian Theme) doing takes on unexplored land for Metal (and I don't expect that much Western Metal will come in future, we're not talking about revolution here). Songs that you heard in Classic movies of this genre, done in way that I wouldn't be ashamed to hear on full studio album, just without vocals. Maybe it's more fitting and certainly changes the atmosphere, I don't lack them here at all.

4(+), surprisingly fine. I was worried before, I'm not now.
