    It's Apocalypse a-go-go for the Georgia gentlemen. Go with them.

    Overall, this album is sure to divide opinion on the band and its future; it will more than likely continue to raise Mastodon's star higher in the sky, enough to get the non-metalheads interested, but not enough to pull the group completely out of the sludge where it belongs and where it works best.

    The Hunter is an album in which to lose yourself. [24 Sep 2011, p.52]
