Oct 30, 2021Невероятно красивый и крутой альбом который я ждал от них со времен Crack the sky. Даже если они будут выпускать такие записи раз в десять лет я готов подождать. Браво!!!

Oct 29, 2021Spectacular lyricism and untouched raw emotion. A dark story of loss and memory. This album is very different from what we are used to but it falls nothing short of being spectacular. 10/10

Oct 29, 2021Beautiful from start to finish, worth the wait. Full of signature mastodon sound, but with clear and evident evolutions. They have grown as people through hardships and the music brews with their experience and emotion. It might be a solid hour and a half but there isn’t a song worth skipping. Masterpiece.

Oct 29, 2021While it certainly isn’t as heavy as previous albums, Hushed and Grim still feels like the makings of a classic Mastodon album. From Pain with an Anchor to Gigantium, you’ll go on a journey through their grief of losing a close friend. In the end I think it’s a brilliant album, and a great tribute to their late manager.

Oct 31, 2021A lot More diverse than there other albums, still has a lot Of head banging riffs but a lot of songs with subtlety as well! A lot of the negative reviewers are trolls so keep that in mind.

Nov 8, 2021Great album, every Mastodon record takes some time to grow, is what I feel. This album is stellar like all their previous work.

Oct 29, 2021I dont think i have ever been more disappointed in an album before. Sad to see such a great band moving more and more away from what made them great in the first place and now the deliver THIS.

Oct 29, 2021Honestly, it gets a generous 1 for Pushing the Tides. Incredibly boring and contains nothing to listen to after the first couple listens. Sad.

Jan 21, 2022This is art. Mastodon has always been the most interesting and viscerally enjoyable band of the last 20 years for me. Here they show their songwriting prowess never diminishes; it simply evolves.

Dec 6, 2021Absolutely fantastic album. Disliked it after first few listens but after months I cannot stop listening to it. Up there with Crack the Skye. Such an ethereal feel. Listen to the album from beginning to end or don't listen at all.

Nov 9, 2021Hushed and Grim gets better with every listen. Huge Mastodon fan and this one is on par with Leviathan, Blood Mountain, and Crack The Skye. This is perhaps their best, but between those albums it’s honestly apples and oranges.

Sep 16, 2022'Hushed & Grim' is, for me, Mastodon's best album. I love it. 'Crack the skye' is next but quite different. Richard

UncutNov 16, 2021The sense is of a band confirming their place as among the most enterprising in the genre. [Jan 2022, p.27]
-
Oct 29, 2021Hushed and Grim could have used a trim, but overall, it was worth the wait.
-
Oct 29, 2021While Hushed and Grim tracks the stages of grief, it also reflects on the soul's journey after death. Musically, Mastodon illuminate the emotional heft of their subject matter in gorgeously architected compositions rendered with abundant creativity, massive power, and searing honesty.
