Actually if you go Mastodon's site you can see the art for the special edition which looks similar but IMO it's much better.

^Yeah, I'm kinda on the same track with you there. I mean it's a pretty solid song and I'm sure it'll grow even more but it's pretty unlikely the new album will beat CtS. However, I'm stoked for The Hunter nonetheless. Mastodon is an awesome band.

I think the majority of their fan-base will be pleased with the regression. Not too interesting to my ears, but then again I'm not their target audience, and to be fair, (Divinations) the first single for CtS was the worst track off that record.

Dug Crack the Skye, but if they're going backwards I'll wait to read some reviews before picking up the new one.
The cover is ok. It looks like a Fisher Price toy monster. Not that there's anything unmetuhl about that.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Holy sh*t! I don't know if I should laugh or stare in awe.
Either way, this thread has made me want to get back into Mastodon. I got into them when their first album came out, but lost interest when I got into prog rock and moved away from most metal. I got Cracke The Sky a few months back, but I need to give it more listens, (only one listen so far...) |

A bit goofy. Wonder why they didn't just choose to keep the consistency going with the other albums ...

Shedding the ambitious musical elements and going for a stripped down sound seems like a recipe for disaster. Didn't work for the Decemberists earlier this year, and cannot see it working well for Mastodon.
