This was just for fun.

I had been playing the new album (is ok, prob the best new-mastodon, but give me a mid tier track like Hand of Stone over it) and read in an interview somewhere that Brent wanted to put Jaguar God on the EP rather than Toe to Toes, but was talked out of it by Brann. (take that with a grain of salt.)

But this extended edit pulls a could of brent-centric tracks into the playlist.

Also I have given Crack the Skye a recent thrash. The Last Baron is killer, it takes the epic-ness of Hearts Alive but expands with their newer songcraft. It doesnt move any higher because for me Quintessence kills the flow of the album dead.

    I have to work out where I put the new album in the mix.

    I think it goes above Hushed and Grim - as it sounds similiar, without the bloat. But having heard this, it solidifies the new brent-less sound that was there on H&G, so I'm moving cold dark place above - so

    1. Cold Dark Place EP
    2. Marrow Deep
    3. The Hunter
    4. Hushed and Grim

    I moved the The Hunter up in the rankings. Both it and H&G have songs I'd rather werent on the album, so it is a case of which has the better songs of those that remain... And the latter has less great songs as it has less Brent, whose contributions for me were part of the draw. I've only just realised this tbh.

    eviathan/Blood Mountain Once More Round the Sun (my hot take ig) Crack the Skye Remission Hushed and Grim The Hunter

    Yeah OMRTS that high is a pretty hot take from what I've seen around - but that's the point of making the lists, no wrong answer.

    Sounds like a win. If people are going to use residences as short term rentals, either with an existing house or new build it they should meet the requirements as non residential. Sounds like a loophole that needs to be closed.

    Good effort from Lawson and esp tsunoda given the time and wet start to fp1. Really interested in the ongoing battle between Gasly and Lawson for best of rest, and the gap between colapinto and gasly with the updat3 has to be encouraging for them.

    I didnt realise I hadnt heard a live version of this before...

    The whole gig is a great listen being the first US gig for 18 months, just before physical graffitti's release - the track select primarily is from IV/HOH/PG (No ultra long Dazed and Confused)

     

    Apparently this is recorded without Matt Pikes involvement.

    The 2026 Sleep lineup comprises co-founding singer/bassist Al Cisneros, Melvins drummer Dale Crover and Void guitarist Bubba Dupree (no, not the haunted thrash metal Void from Lafayette, Louisiana). Their new single marks the first Sleep release since their 2018 comeback album The Sciences.

    Since there is a new album coming out and I don't want to go to the other site to see rankings how about posting some here?

    Personally a fan of the earlier stuff, I've never really clicked with Branns vocal contributions and have checked out in recent years but will miss Brent's vocals and guitar contributions immensely.

    1. Blood Mountain
    2. Leviathan
    3. Remission
    4. Crack The Skye
    5. Hushed and Grim
    6. Cold Dark Place EP
    7. The Hunter (Ok)
    8. Emperor / One More Around the Sun (Bleh)
    • Call of the Mastodon (Not really listened)

    Blood Mountain grew on me as an album, overtaking the obvious choice. Hushed needs a bit of culling, The Hunter is a bit scattershot and the last two listed are not my cup o tea/.

    Catamaran, by Yawning Man (yawningman.bandcamp.com)
     

    So the song was made famous when covered by Kyuss for their final album - but I never realised they released a proper version as per the bandcamp blurb below:

    One of these tracks of notable mention is the song “CATAMARAN”, a Yawning Man song made popular by the legendary influential desert rock band KYUSS on the 1995 Elektra release “And the Circus Leaves Town”. The song was never released by Yawning Man, however the KYUSS cover of the song proved to be a favorite among KYUSS fans. Spreading the word about Yawning Man’s unique rock music. Yawning Man will finally release this classic, properly recorded for the first time in 30 years.
