| I am presently listening to that EP again, and I’m going to keep listening to it until I like it, because Mastodon's new album earns them the right to be taken very seriously. It’s called Remission, and its sleeve is even nicer than Lifesblood’s: the cover painting (of a horse exploding) is quite horrific but also quite good; the lyric booklet picks all the right fonts and nifty background images, and tucks little phrases away here and there in unlikely places. Most of all, though, there’s the music on the disc itself. Oh, man. |
