Lets start here! Mastodon fucking sucks. Why do they suck, you ask? They appeal to the worst kind of metal fan. They are a "safe" band. They don't do anything interesting, they aren't too heavy or too soft, they play the kind of music that no respectable metal fan would support. These are the same kinds of people who sit in their car and still blast Master of Puppets or Vulgar Display of Power on repeat in 2011. They are the same kind of people who make absurd claims like "Pantera was the only band flying the metal flag in the 90s!"
Get real. The metal underground is a vast and sprawling tomb of fucking legendary music. There's so much great metal out there, the fact that a person is stuck listening to the same shit they heard 20 years ago is depressing, to say the least. Get your head out of your ass and start looking for music, or don't even fucking bother talking about it like you know what the deal is.
Want an example of what is wrong with everything? Go here: http://www.metalsucks.net/2011/11/28/the-best-metal-albums-of-2011-as-chosen-by-metal-musicians-themselves-%E2%80%94-part-i/
Look at those lists. These are METAL musicians choosing the best "METAL" albums of 2011, and there are less than 5 people who seem to understand what the fuck they are talking about, and only ONE who seems to have actually delved into the music enough to come up with a relevant opinion.
Fuck off posers.
Pantera was the only band flying the metal flag in the 90s.
