This is a dramatic departure for Mastodon. Much more metalcore than a continuation of their brand of sludge/prog/death metal. The clean vocals are very pedestrian and I believe are only done for the mallcore crowd. Brann Dailor still drums like a tsunami, but the guitar riffs are a lot less thrashy. Invariable, bands go directions that I don't find interesting and lose me, and this may be the case with the Mastodon, but I'm going to give this one more time because I love this band.
