Mastodon crams more outrageously brilliant music in this one song than most other bands do in their entire discography.

[TheIronyGiant]

This album completely changed my outlook on music, and what was capable within an album. I wish the guys from Mastodon knew how much this album means to me.

[DashCat]

Imagine listening to a 13 minute long song, and thinking to yourself. "Wish this was longer".

[brentcrude]

8:19 Absolutely fucking out-of-this-world extraterrestrial alien riff from a higher dimension.

[thawedantarctican]

Think of my Dad when I hear this. Wish he could've heard it. He would've loved it.

12 years without you. May we meet again in some way or form.

[alexanderstavrou]

It’s been 10 years since this album came out. One of my favorite metal concept albums \m/

[TheLastCrankers]

The perfect album. The perfect song. Perfect tones. Perfect arrangements. Perfect singing. Literal perfection.

[sassytabasco]

7:35 is one of the most titanic passages of metal music I have ever heard. This album is so immaculately arranged.

[yolannyrojasmancebo]

These people know how to close an album

Imagine suffering a concussion and gaining psychic powers to write one of the best metal concept albums of the past 40 years.

[ollysombrero]

10 years! ... it's timeless. it might be one of the best things we as a species have had the chance to experience.

[ericoleal]

Top 10 songs of all times, not a shadow of doubt.

[mattmovesmountains]

Just went to their show in Boston. They played this whole album, and then a few more songs. But I wondered.. how are they gonna follow Baron? They went with Blood and Thunder and all my internal organs high fived each other

[sabonesjones]

I think crack the Skye is their best album. Other albums have some good songs but this one I played through about a hundred times at work. Especially the longer songs, just proves how musically gifted these guys are.

[pavelkeprt]

This album is their Opus magnum. And this song is the culmination of it. It's like a mystical dream.

[vinniecentz]

That YYZ reference at 6:00 and again at 6:13 blew my mind the first time I listened to it.

This album is a great tribute to classic prog with a vivid and clear modern intention all over it that make it sound almost visionary. What a journey!

[tresdabney]

This album still remains one of the greatest albums ever created. The lyrics, story, and musicianship are all top notch and of the highest quality. This song especially, it just sounds like epic conclusion song, whereas most albums the last song ends and you're just like "cool, good album its over". But this, this wraps up the journey and sounds like something that would play at the end of a 2 hour epic movie that just wraps up and ends in a glorious fashion so when it ends, you know the journey and story are over. Lucky enough to catch them a few years ago on the 10th anniversary tour of this album with Coheed & Cambria and they played this from start to finish and it was everything I had hoped for

[thathandleistakentrythisone]

My all time favorite album period. Any genre, any artist - nothing else comes close. I worship and revere this album. This is the holy grail - Mastodon's epic: Crack The Skye.

[joelteegee]

I've been listening to this for 13 years and it's still my favorite song. Does anybody else but me appreciate this masterpiece as much as I do? I don't know anyone that loves this song. It's a tragedy!

[viniciusdeoliveira]

Whenever aliens find the remnants of our long lost civilization, I hope they find Mastodon and save their music in their museums as we do to epics like Gilgamesh.
