    Cold Dark Place is essential listening for any Mastodon fans who have followed the band into the 2010’s without an excess of griping. Folks who are still waiting for the group to go back and do another Leviathan or Blood Mountain, this maybe isn’t for you.

    Immediate heaviosity is in short supply, but Cold dark Place instead offers plenty of alternate impact. [30 Sep 2017, p.52]

    Taken together, Cold Dark Place affirms the band’s pursuit of technically ambitious rock with high production value, while continuing to disrupt traditional notions of genre and song structure.
