tiburondeoreo Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Song sounds better than anything I heard on Emperor of Sand but will wait and see for the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morfiend Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 This is their best work since CTS, awesome album. I just ordered the clear vinyl, anyone pick it up yesterday? How does it sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ordered the clear vinyl, anyone pick it up yesterday? How does it sound? I liked it. It was a lot better as a whole body compared to just a couple of tracks for prerelease. I still don’t know if it something I’ll listen to regularly or if it’s better than Emperor of Sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morfiend Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Received the clear indie variant in the mail yesterday. Besides the shitty inner sleeves (poly and paper? wtf?) the vinyl sound great. I may upgrade to the deluxe eventually since I really like this album a lot. kannibal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very good in some parts. Unfortunately for me nothing has stood out, yet. For instance I can’t tell you which songs have the parts I find very good. I think the blame lies with the production. The whole album sounds so samey. I’m still considering picking it on vinyl though as I have been going back to it a lot this week. morfiend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the production could be better, it sounds a little flat to my ears, not enough to really bug me though. I like the whole album, which surprises me since it's nearly 90 minutes but I don't skip any tracks. I don't know if any of the songs are "classics" just yet but I keep coming back for more listens, which I hadn't done very often with the previous 3 albums. kannibal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are your poly inners cut really poorly so they don't fit in the paper at all? This seems like a real hack job. But at least they sound good.

ZeroNowhere Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I was really excited to hear this record after all the good reviews. I was a bit bummed after my first listen because nothing was memorable and I haven’t wanted to go back again because of other recent releases that did catch my attention (ETID, Borrocho, etc). I’ll try to add it into the rotation again and see if it’s a grower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2notepockets Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 So this is 90mins on a 2lp?!? Had a little listen and got about half way, some really great parts but totally agree about the production not really hitting the mark...

xtoolx Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I think it’s a really good record. Enjoying it very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chogmatron Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Feel like they should have cut 4-5 of the tracks for a far more solid hour long LP. There are a few tracks in the latter half that aren’t great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morfiend Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I think the whole record has no filler. It did take a couple of listens to appreciate the 2nd half though but now I love it, the last 3 tracks are pretty epic, they may grow on the patient listener.

ParallelofDeath Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I just got my copy of H&G with the numbered Paul Romano wrap from Revolver and it looks really fucking good in person, especially the silver ink. Glad I went for it. It's still available if anyone's on the fence: https://shop.revolvermag.com/products/mastodon-hushed-and-grim-2lp?_pos=16&_sid=efec4f250&_ss=r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
