I think hate might be too strong a word but it definitely lacked the bite and focus of their previous stuff. But there was still some decent stuff on it. I also think that a double album was stretching things too far.
The main reason why I haven't listened to The Hunter is because I lost some interest in Mastodon after Crack The Skye. I loved their proggier moments on Blood Mountain and Leviathan as much as their shorter songs but something about Crack The Skye didn't sit right with me. I'll give The Hunter a listen though.
