This isn't really a review, you're just assigning numbers to songs without explaining why

>The Hunter
It's been few years already and I can still smell the stench of disappointment. I was a huge faggot and a huge Matodon fan back then and after Crack The Skye, their "wind" album I thought this one would be Mastodon in cosmos or something, after fire, water, earth and wind albums. I was so excited, but all I got was a disjointed compilation of radio ready buttrock. Fuck this album and fuck Mastodon.

i know what you mean. I like seeing what other people would give albums and songs out of 10. It doesnt mean much without explanation but id still like to see some other album reviews like this or however you want to do it.
>Why Don't You Eat Carrots? 9/10
>Meadow Meal 9.5/10
>Miss Fortune 9.5+/10
Miss Fortune is my favorite song of all time.

>A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers 9.5/10

I've been listening to Pawn Hearts for a year now, and Faust for two years.
>Those are some pretty high ratings.
Yes, they are two of my top 5 albums of all time.

Fucking neck yourself. People who obsessively rate music that they personally like obviously don't like it enough to warrant listening to it for pure enjoyment rather than analysing it, criticising it and obsessing over what particular parts of an albums you do and don't like.
>>60798548
you dont like reviewing music. thats cool to.
>>60798619
No. It's not that. It's the obsessive threads that occur here every single day rating and obsessing over artists discographies. Like damn, you're just an average person. Just enjoy the music without having to analyse it and rate everything out of 10. Music should be about enjoyment, not arbitrary score systems.

i cant do both? i actually cant fall asleep without listening to music. Its really hard to anyways. but i also like reviewing things. Kind of like a personal thing i do. Just seeing if anyone else does this. Apparently im in the minority though.
i see a lot of 10/10 album threads which are fine but i like to get more in depth than that.
>>60798680
>but I like to get more in depth than that
There's nothing wrong with album discussion. Even criticism. Rating system completely ruins it though. Because an incredible album might have some things that you dislike about it, but it doesn't mean you should suddenly give it a 6/10 or something stupid like that. Obviously that was just an example off the top of my head, but you know what I'm saying.
>I actually can't fall asleep without listening to music.
I'm much the same, but it's my fan. I can't sleep in absolute silence. I'd prefer music, but even at low volumes it's as if it irritates me or something. I'd rather the music though.

Well i think The Hunter is a bit conflicting. Some songs are well made and stick in your head. But some of these tracks are unforgivable like Octopus Has No Friends. Horrible lyrics in that one. At this point Mastodon has opted for a more progressive sound than straight metal like in their previous albums. To me they seem to be getting away from the yelling and heavy riffs which is fine with me. What i cant forgive is the lackluster songwriting and generic pop sound of some of the tracks. There are many other songs that keep me coming back like Black Tongue(great opening track) or The Sparrow(great closing track). Overall a good album but nothing special. There are just too many forgettable songs keeping this album from being truly great.
Prefer this kind of review?
