GOAT album, do not discuss
Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending

If I have no interest in the heavy metal genre, would Crack the Skye be anything I would enjoy? Could it be one of those albums that is accessible enough to people on the outside looking in?

As someone who doesn't really care for metal, I like Mastodon

I always thought so. the elements that make this album in particular so great are the psychedelia, the different vocal tones, and the repeating motifs - and it's not any kind of extreme, like harsh vocals or blast beats.

I came in to make a dumb joke about it being metal related and now I'm at a loss

What if I only know Mastadon from Aqua Teen Hunger Force?

what would you say is a really good track from this album?
yet all azuarc of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness

I've had Oblivion in my Spotify Liked Songs forever but haven't ever spun the whole album.

Guess today would be a good day to rectify that.

my favourite is The Last Baron but I feel like the opening track Oblivion is a perfect intro

Crack the Skye a 10/10 album. If you haven't heard the album before, just throw it on full play. Oblivion is a good intro to it, and will give you a peek at what's to come if you haven't listened to Mastodon before.

Personally I like Divinations the best
I've decided to put my fears behind me. I'm not going back.
