This album feels SO dense because most songs feel like at least two put together. Loving their decision to go more proggy and psychedelic.

[JamesFocht]

Mastodon retain their signature sound, while venturing into new musical landscapes every album. They do not disappoint.

[jorgetardones]

"Push through the pain
Developing calloused hands
To dig, scrape and claw"

Man, the way they refer to other songs throughout the album, is a thing of beauty

[PsychoFace]

This is a colossal fucking banger! and when it goes into that clean interlude, "You're gonna need a bigger boat"

[sleepinggiant]

Running from an endless source of everlasting light
Stumble into darkness of my own creation
Navigate this maze of self-destruction's inner glow
Worship at the feet of primal gods of chaos

The walls we create
The cracks will begin to show
And watch them start to fall

All is indefinite
How quickly we evaporate
To memories and only dreams

As the seismic shifts
Veering into unknown space
Where monuments will bare your name

Drinking from reflections in the pool of endless doubt
Continue on the path of reckless devastation
In the pit of death and bones and carcasses decayed
It's here I find a guiding hand to true salvation

Push through the pain
Developing calloused hands
To dig, scrape, and claw

Thought and visions stick
The images, how they still burn
Cementing of your legacy

Now it's flooding back
Trigger the unlocking fate
To wash away and letting free

Dredging the weight
Dragging through hollow ground
To break the chain of lies

'Round and 'round, we battle ourselves
Silencing our tongues

So I've been sleeping on these guys, holy fuck.... every song I'm hearing so far is awesome.

[cryhavoc]

Brent's background growls and screams really add depth to this track. Incredible.

[positivelastaction]

Every single track on this album is a banger. Every single one. The entire album is an epic, cathartic, masterpiece.

[MRSludgedude]

Progressive grunge is basically what this album is.

[bobafett]

A banger if there ever was one. Brent's fuzz is otherworldly good.

[MCH]

They just can't make a bad album. They're relentless.

[notsure]

I'm so excited to be on this musical journey with you all. Long live Mastodon!

[Thorgnor]

Massive and epic. Bludgeoning riffage and rhythms. THIS is why I listen to metal!

[InhaleSorrow]

They’re cranked to 11, hope Bran doesn’t explode

[laurak]

one of the best tracks on hushed and grim, ...personal fav.

[thimovijfschaft]

Those double kicks during the prrpt p baaaa are like absolutely massive in low end!

[headbang]

Mastodon is one of those bands that, more you listen to them, the better it get... all i heard of hushed and grim was great the first time... its been almost 10 times i have listen to those tracks, now im about to explode! Forget covid, mastodon greatness is the real threat! If i listen one more time one of these awesome songs im probably gonna die you know, trick is... I CAN'T RESIST!!

[devendietrich]

With so many bands I have to pick an album or two, perhaps an era in which I enjoyed their music. Mastodon is different. New albums are fresh and simultaneously bear that signature Mastodon vibe. I've never thought that I wish they'd play music like they used to.

[tophat]

Best so far!!! This is shaping up to be an amazing album. Not that I expected any less from the Don!

[justinfigueroa]
