    Cool. It's actually my least favourite. Still not bad though.

    The earlier albums lack originality IMO, though Blood Mountain is alright.

    As for DEP: good band, though not really metal.

    Not really metal? Hm. That's the first time I've heard that. They have some elements of thrash, hardcore and prog but I'd certainly consider them one of the best metal bands out there. Even without Chris Pennie. The EP they did with Mike Patton (Irony is a Dead Scene) is a five star effort, in my opinion.

    As for the new Mastodon, I plan on giving it another few listens. It may be a grower. Who knows? By this time next week it may their best album. 😉

    They are usually pigeonholed into the "mathcore" genre.

    But yeah, when Patton touches something it usually turns into gold.

    I used to love metallica a very long time ago, but when they did 'One' which was on top of the pops about 20 years ago, i sensed it was the beginning of the end. Of all the musical genres, metal was the one above all that must never sell out (perhaps apart from punk) because it was all about being different from the mainstream, but sadly this is what happened.

    Since when is metal "all about being different from the mainstream"? Is that was jazz is about, too, merely because there are not many jazz hit singles?
