The thing already leaked? Awesome. They announced a North American tour and the closest spot is Cleveland, and it's during finals week.

Remission and Leviathon are well produced, but on a small budget - so there's perhaps a certain detectable "underproduced quality" to it. Blood Mountain, their most recent (well, before this new one anyway), was their major label debut, so the production is a lot cleaner and more slick.

Do the vocals "suck"? Well, what's his face is hardly the greatest vocalist in metal, but what he does tends to work really well imo. It has quite a distinctive quality. The trademark, echoey Mastodon howls are not to be found elsewhere. They complement the music nicely; sounds like screams coming right out of the depths of hell.

I'm really looking forward to this album. Mastodon are only one of a few metal bands i listen to nowdays, they're keeping metal interesting. And judging by this album's concept this is going to be one mind**** of an album!
