Damn, this surpasses the quality of the previously released track by far...Mastodon never disappoints I suppose.

I agree, but keep in mind it's less than a minute and without vocal parts.

Am I the only one who really hates it when bands do this? Release the whole track for god's sakes, 50 seconds isn't really enough to judge, at least not for me. That section of the song could have been taken out of any context.

Yeah that was little more than an interlude. Granted, I can handle slices of songs that actually represent the song, with actual riffs and vocals, but that gives no indication of what's going on from a song writing perspective.

That album cover is nuts. I really don't like it. Their other album covers are all better.

After their first average song, this looks bit same.

I also dont understand why the fuck they want to release a preview after their first song has already been streaming online?

Are they trying to check us as in "are we likihg the flow or not"?

For everyone who is on the edge, I saw them live and they played both "High Road" and "Chimes at Midnight" and they were both super heavy.

This is far better than the Hunter's cover. That one was just awful.

I don't like the Hunter cover either, but I like it a lot better than this one. It's my opinion this album cover sucks ass. An opinion cannot be wrong. If you like it cool. If you don't that's cool too. I'm still gonna buy it because I love Mastodon. They could put a turd steaming on the cover and I'd buy it still. The album that is, not the turd.

The Hunter's cover was a bit too simple... this one's cover has too much shit going on at once with way too much saturation. I don't really know how I feel about it, but I'd either say that they're both equally bad or that this cover is worse than The Hunter's. At least Hunter's cover didn't try to murder my eyes with over-saturated fruit-salad colors.
