      Разве хэви метал появился в 1988 году? По моему на несколько лет раньше. “The Namber Of The Beast” появился в 1982 году, и его уже трудно было бы назвать классическим хард-роком.

    This is probably my favorite album of all time. As a drummer, every single song was such an inspiration for me - Brann is a beast.
    Back when I was 14 I was just getting into metal. I think Blood Mountain had just come out about a year before. I went on vacation to universal studios florida on one of my breaks and I was wearing my Mastodon shirt. We were sitting down eating churros on a bench, when all of a sudden I see Brann and his wife appear out of nowhere walking toward us. Me and my friend were basically star struck (we were just kids). We ran up to him and couldn't really say much except "Holy shit! We love your band!"
    Him and his wife were so cool to us. You could tell he was happy to meet some fans and was just a really friendly, genuine dude. We talked for a while about random shit and asked him what they were working on and he told us that their new album "Crack the Skye" was coming out in the next few months. We took a picture with him and were about to leave, when out of nowhere he invited us to go on The Hulk rollercoaster with him and his wife. We were so fucking stoked, it was so much fun. He even bought us the ride picture afterwards!! Really cool people, I will never forget that - still have that picture in my closet somewhere

      mayte sutin the riffs on this album are iconic. Blood and thunder is one of the simplest strong riffs I think ever wrote. Reminds me of what Blackmore did with smoke on the water. Seabeast is probably my favorite song of theirs. The riff that closes that song is the most monstrous way to close a song I've ever heard.

    copy n paste from a search, good explanation of the best song on here:
    [hearts alive] ...It's nearly the band's crowning Opus, and is definitely the culmination of the Leviathan's storyline....this song went over the heads of SO many people....found "it's boring", "it's slow", "it's not heavy enough", "it's repetitive". How could people miss the point so dramatically?
    Hearts Alive IS the whale! It rises from the deep, it thrashes around, it is eternal. The lyrics are about the behavior of the whale and the interaction with the captain. The riff from 10:03 until the end of the song evolves so slowly and methodically..."

All the way from Remission to Emperor of Sand, Mastodon is one of the few bands that have not put out a bad album and can keep me headbanging and laying in bed relaxing throughout their whole discography.

    My favorite album of all time. Some days my particular favorite is Once More 'Round the Sun, others it's Remission. Sometimes it's Crack the Skye or Blood Mountain. Overall, I know my favorite is Leviathan. It's my personal number one album ever. Almost 47 minutes of pure progressive sludge metal brutality and chaos. It's an absolute masterpiece.

    Always got the vide that every album since Crack the Skye was solid, but Remission, Leviathan, and Blood Mountain were epic. Crack the Skye was like that buffer in between. This record, followed by Blood Mountain being a close second, is my favorite Mastodon album. The mix of sludge, blues, prog, concept, riffs, drum fills, and straight up metal makes this a heavy metal fucking journey.
