2notepockets Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) Just read this article where Brann Dailor ranks Mastodon's albums, its actually a really good read and provides some insight into what various members were going through at the time. So as some one who used to be huge on this band, and is still a fan I thought it might be fun to post my rankings and see what other think as well. https://noisey.vice.com/en_us/article/j5gn9k/rank-your-records-mastodon-brann-dailor if you can't be bothered reading Brann Says: 1. Crack the Skye 2. Leviathan 3. Blood Mountain 4. Emperor of Sand 5. Once More Around the Sun 6. Remission 7. The Hunter My Ranking: 1. Leviathan 2. Remission 3. Blood Mountain 4. Crack the Skye 5. Emperor of Sand 6. The Hunter 7. Once More Around the Sun (probably unfair as it is their only album I haven't listened through) Edited October 6, 2017 by 2notepockets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once More Around the Sun (probably unfair as it is their only album I haven't listened through) I'm right there with you, but I'd swap Blood Mountain and Crack the Skye. Leviathan is a masterpiece though, and one of the greatest metal records of the last decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I pretty much agree with your ranking. I would just leave Emperor of Sand off the list and pretend it didn't happen. I've listened to it twice and really did not like it, to the point I had to turn it off halfway through the second listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are one or two terrible songs, but overall I like it better than the last two albums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man, I reluctantly gave it a listen after not having paid any attention to Once More Around the Sun and I really like it. Nowhere near the top 4 but a solid enjoyable listen. I didn't mind The Hunter its pretty hit and miss but has some moments of absolute genius ( I know a lot of people hate on it) and I think Emperor... is comfortably better.

Reshiram Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 That article really made me appreciate each album a little bit more, I never knew a lot of the things that were happening to the band and it's interesting to see what effects those had on each album. My ranking: Blood Mountain Leviathan Crack The Skye The Hunter Remission Once More Around The Sun Emperor of Sand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
