Say what you will about the newer Mastodon sound but I for one am pumped for this release. 'High Road' is a decent enough lead single and the album artwork looks insane!

I might be missing something here but how did you make a Breaking Bad connection?

Ohhhhhhhhhh daaaaaaaaaamn. Expecting something really laid back and psychedelic from the looks of that artwork, don't disappoint me, you bastards.

The artwork is fantastic. If only the song they released was equally as good.

I'm thinking this'll be continuing from the direction of The Hunter, but you never know. No two Mastodon albums have sounded alike thus far.

Thumbs up for the album artwork. Can spend a bit of time just looking at all the detail and allowing your eyeballs to enjoy the array of colours. It's an ocular delight.

And that's one of the things I love about them. Even if I am disappointed by this album, I still may enjoy something they do in the future.

Looks like a salad. Not really a fan of the art; too gaudy.

I wish more salads looked like that
I personally think it's a great artwork, but I'm a fan of this style

Ocular overload maybe... I appreciate what the artist tried to do with it stylewise but to me the execution was a little too chaotic.... nevertheless probably better than the previous ones for Mastodon.

Nope, just curious how a connection could be made. Nothing seemed obvious haha. Must watch more of it though, great show, but so many other great shows on TV yet so little time.

Been listening to that High Road song more today. I still can't get over how much the chorus sounds like the guy from Sahg!

Not to spam too much with off-topic stuff, but you must watch more! The best TV series I have ever had a pleasure to watch. Although I started watching only after the series ended. But once I started I went through all the seasons in like two weeks.

Can someone tell me who is singing that bloody chorus?? Troy or Brann? I see on the net different versions. Some say Troy, some say Brann.
