kaiserphoenix Posts: 17	30.01.2018 - 01:06 kaiserphoenix Posts: 17 I know the people that decide the grammy for things like best metal performance have probably never even heard of most of these bands, but its still cool to be able to say that a metal band you really like has won a grammy for something. I think it means more when it comes from the award comes from the metal community but still congrats to mastodon. Loading...

Is it good? I'd say it's fairly good. I prefer Once More Round The Sun though. I'd probably tie it with The Hunter as their worst album, so if you didn't hate any of their previous albums it's worth checking out. ---- And the tears that we will weep today Will all be washed away By the tears that we will weep again tomorrow Loading...
