Listening to the new Mastodon album right now. Just finished Stargasm (lol). With Blood Mountain and Leviathan being the only Mastodon albums I've heard, I'm really digging The Hunter. Probably might beat out Blood Mountain for my favorite Mastodon album.

Just listened to the new Machine Head album and *SPOILERS* it's brilliant. Early standouts include I Am Hell and This Is The End. It's definitely different from The Blackening, but it's still got that adrenaline punch and some of the riffs are fucking bonebreaking. I like this album more than I liked The Blacking when I first got it - and to be honest, I don't see that changing.
Pick this up as soon as you can.

RIP Cliff Burton. 25 years ago today the metal world lost a valued member.

Each to his own, but I think that the "grander" approach worked, personally. I 'd agree that two songs leave something to be desired (Who We Are and Pearls for Swine) but on the whole, I'd put this in the top two or three albums I've listened to this year.
