Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

hisss... a DT thread. I thought those were extinct.... love Mastodon.. but would vote for Will Smith and the Fresh Prince over DT as long as he didn't have LaBrie doing a guest turn on vocals and making your ears bleed... Edited by micky - March 01 2016 at 16:08 |

I love both bands, but Mastodon hasn't released any bad or boring albums imo unlike DT.

Yes, concept albums about Moby Dick and Rasputin in space are absolutely down-to-earth! (For the record, I like Mastodon)
No, you must be mistaken. That was in the 80s and they called it "hair metal". On a more serious note, while 'hipster metal' bands like Mastodon are certainly more accessible to a non-metal audience than, say, straightforward black metal, they're certainly not very accessible to a mainstream audience either, at least not prior to The Hunter. They incorporate lots of elements from hardcore punk (less so in recent years), stoner rock, progressive rock, psychedelic rock and whatnot, none of which are very mainstream genres to begin with. I can't speak for other 'hipster-approved' metal bands, Mastodon certainly aren't fusing metal with pop rock. Even more than in prog, there's a sad tendency in the metal scene to cry "sellout!" any time a band reaches a wider, non-metal audience. Edited by HarbouringTheSoul - February 17 2013 at 02:43 |

Dream Theater is one of my favorite Prog Metal Bands and so is Mastodon.
They sound better to me than those Mathcore bands. Edited by Jonathan - February 16 2013 at 22:31 |

But I really do think that Mastodon is the best band to come out in a while in Metal but that's just my opinion. Woah Mastodon really weren't trying to start all that crap that came after them |

liturgy are the ultimate hipsters yes. not sure who locust are and as for JFAC, they're not really hipsters, just crappy deathcore turned generic death metal. what i mean about mastodon though is they and baroness stared this whole trend with tons of people praising them as the best metal to come out in years and tons of bands imitating them musically and visually but from listening to the music all it seems like is these bands take a few more accessible elements of metal and twist them to be fused with pop rock elements to be presented to a wider more mainstream audience. and for the record, i've been smoking so much cannabis. :P Edited by Sumdeus - February 16 2013 at 21:51 |

My feelings exactly. I don't hate them, I just can't understand all the hype about an average band. And yes, I have Crack The Skye. And for all the hate against LaBrie, the singer for Mastodon sounds like Ozzy Osbourne on a bad day. Imo.

I can understand the vocals but to me they've working at it for the last few albums and have been getting better at them, I don't know how much Cannabis you've been smoking, Rome because Mastodon is not Hipster Metal. These are examples of Hipster Metal bands(Liturgy, The Locust, Job For A Cowboy, etc). That last bit doesn't make much sense to me |

i feel like someone has asked me about this before because i remember people getting mad at my reply hehe... pretty much the vocals are terrible and beyond that the instrumentation is alright but nothing that special, plus i have disdain for them for creating whole trend of hipster metal that was really popular for a while with Baroness and all those other bands that play rock music dressed up as metal so that hipsters who don't like metal can listen to it and pretend they are listening to metal.

I have bought several albums by each band. While I wasn't overly impressed with either bands, Mastodon gets my vote, as I at least like a few of their songs. As for Dream Theater... it's all sh*t.

what is it about Mastodon you don't like, Rome??. Voted Mastodon because they are not overtly pretentious like Dream Theater . Like the Bearded Bard said "Crack The Skye" beats anything Dream Theater has done |

while I don't like Mastodon, I don't particularly hate them so they win this one
