Unsuitable review

The Guardian article on the album is totally biased from the very start, first lumping all of metal into the "teen cock-rock misogyny" category, before comparing the album to supposedly favoured artists Led Zeppelin and Wagner. Call it elitism, personal choice, but this review is NOT suitable. If there is another negative review that is less biased, please add it. Arkyopterix 17:26, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do note that the review is not, in fact, responsible of lumping metal into such unflattering categories, it merely references the "oft-heard accusation". I wouldn't call it biased either, as the reviewer seems to give credit to Mastodon's previous album -- he's just disappointed with the new record and its evident changes in style.

Storyline

I think a full description of the album's story should be given, including the creatures etc. he faces. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.249.237.191 (talk) 16:37, 5 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Critical Reaction

Should it be noted how GameSpot.co.uk thinks it's the 11th best metal album of all time? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.100.132.118 (talk) 15:04, 28 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Relapse?

The back of my copy has the Relapse logo (along with the Reprise logo). Anyone know what the deal is here? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.136.219.87 (talk) 20:36, 19 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Yeah, Relapse still handles some of their distribution, particularly their vinyls, which are still printed and distributed by Relapse. As for Reprise, that's the actual inprint that they are signed to.Orion213434 06:47, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New section

I've added a Critical Reaction section. Defunct Lies 18:51, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Some references for the first sentence would be nice. Also, I find it hardly necessary to namecheck Machine Head or Lamb of God in the article. SirWoland 23:36, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well considering Sacrament and The Blackening have both been considered, alongside this album as essential and as the best metal albums of the decade by the critics and an amount of people I've spoken to, I decided it would be necessary. Defunct Lies 23:42, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since when? Just because you're a LoG and Machine Head fan doesn't mean they deserve mention on Mastdodon's page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.225.206.87 (talk) 03:57, 28 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

That was rather pointless in you saying that since I don't like Lamb Of God or Machine Head very much. They are both bland and repetitive. Defunct Lies 18:49, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In the track details section it states that "the vocalist" uses two different microphones, i watched the video to check this and there are two vocalists each using a unique mic but they remain the same. i cant remove this error, but someone should —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.161.205.47 (talk) 23:16, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removed: "It can be assumed that the next album will represent the wind element." Because, well, it can't be assumed. Particularly when Troy Sanders has recently suggested that the next album could be "space" themed.

Removed: I removed the "There amazing" comment at the end, firstly because it's someone's opinion and secondly because it was misspelled.

1000 faces

The album makes several references to The Hero with a Thousand Faces (Lyrics include "belly of the whale," "call to adventure," "crossing of the threshold", etc.) It's probably not notable enough to go in the article, but it's cool anyways.--DCo1 (talk) 00:46, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
