These guys are insanely talented musicians. Just think of what they could do if they had a legitimate lead singer!
J H gave it a10:
Great album and an instant classic. Its become a standard that I judge everything else by. The drums continue to blow my mind.
Kyle Z gave it an8:
Not nearly as goo d as levanthian, or remission, there ae some great tracks on here for sure, but Mastodon is clearly getting less hardcore and much more mainstream, hope that this stops.
Israel M gave it a10:
One of the greatest metal songs of late years.
Joshua G gave it a5:
The 20/100 review got it right, even if it was a bit harsh: Mastodon ditched the tectonic, visceral force of Leviathan for technical acrobatics and flashy wankery, something that many other, more technically proficient bands outplay them at anyway. Mastodon were best when they knew the power of the riff and the power of pure fucking METAL; this is an unwanted sideventure into wankage. Colony of Birchmen and Siberian Divide are cool, I suppose, but Capillarian Crest is just pointless wankery that drives me up a fucking wall. Still a decent album, and better than most mainstream metal.
Steve S. gave it a10:
The most original and and interesting album of the decade. Brilliant.
Scott B. gave it a10:
This is THE perfect metal album. Bloody brilliant!
