The two tracks released online from the new Kylesa album are interesting. 'Quicksand' sounds like they are channeling the spirit of early Smashing Pumpkins, Kylesa style. They seem to be going for a darker sound as well which could open up new paths for them.
I hate Yellow and Green but I think The Hunter was a move in the right direction for Mastodon. 3-minute metal songs instead of the proggy stuff.
