Mastodon - Skeleton of Splendor [Official Audio]

[@christopherbushey4328]

3:15 they used this song in all the ads for the Georgia aquarium performance

[@Crysta1Pisto1]

They also played it during that performance too.

[@scissors0009]

All of their new material is transcendent. You really don't hear music like this much anymore. An album of this caliber is really rare.

You don’t hear cus you don’t look for it tbh

@@eastofwarden tbh I came here to share in how great this new album is. But if you just want to shit all over that with your elitist attitude, go right ahead.

[@sleepinggiant4083]

I completely agree man. This album is in a different dimension

[@sleepinggiant4083]

@@eastofwarden nah bud we don't hear it cause it doesn't exist. Mastodon is the apex of music

[@MarkArandjus]

Let us take a moment and appreciate the work of Nick John, the band's late manager to whom the album, and this song especially, is dedicated. In interviews the band says they wouldn't be where they are without him and he worked hard behind the scenes because he believed in them. RIP, Nick, thank you!

[@cristianbellino8828]

Troys voice is like velvet at this one. Best mixed song yet.

[@James-wl5zv]

When that high octave back up vocal comes in with Troy singing the chorus!!

[@codykane45]

Dirty B. Hinds putting that stank on the solo, as usual. 🤘🤯

[@LieLikesMusic]

Sadly no lyrics about trains in this one xD

[@joe-un1ky]

Those bends are a sooo painfully good. Solo is emotional as fuck

[@hal9029]

Liked that synth sound, reminded me of Pink Floyd's - Welcome to the machine.

[@MakeMeLo]

Me too.

[@HighscoreCreative]

Ghost uses it really well too!

[@evillynn4166]

Reminded me of the tone/octave from Floyd's "Dogs" too!

[@DrewMadnezz]

Agree man straight thought on ghost, actually sounds like the intro Ashes

[@d1ssolv3r]

bro it really caught me off guard

[@michaelrestle36]

This is back to Crack The Skye level. Even beyond. The vocal melody in the bridge is so haunting. This is it.

[@DarioVarasG]

Actually, I briefly assumed it was a CTS song after hearing it live

[@kreb12]

It's definitely the best album they've put out since Crack the Skye and I think it's better personally. I don't know how well Crack the Skye has aged, but this album feels like timeless, classic rock.

[@joppy9900]

Mastodon with another amazing album added to their catalog. Once in a lifetime band.

[@Bumpy_barejevo]

They’re batting 1000 as a career band

[@RichardMadon]

Five years from now when I'm eaightteen if my band works out I won't be a cover band but I must cover this one song

[@proggydreams9812]

3:16 mind blowing. I love this part so much. This is definitely one of the gems of the album

[@ЭрэсТриггеров]

Sounds similar to Pink Floyd

[@sinksunk1133]

YESSS this part gave me goosebumps bro it really hits hard

[@tylerjacobson8012]

It is the gem of the album. It’s such a dynamic atmospheric song. I legitimately think it might be one of their top 3 best songs. I put it up there with The Czar and The Last Baron.

[@proggydreams9812]

@@tylerjacobson8012 whew, the last baron is up there for me also, this song just keeps creeping on me it’s so fucking good. And the production is CRYSTAL CLEAR.

[@berserkerzakk9504]

[@VSdrummer010]

Brann's backup vocals in the chorus are masterful. Beautifully haunting. The level of talent, musicianship, and songwriting ability between these four dudes is unfathomable. RIP Nick

[@fritzyberger]

Mastodon has really mastered the use of texture in music. The insturmentation always has that Mastodon style but they can do it smooth like sandpaper or smooth like silk. This song doesnt show their ability to play with contrast on its own but anyone who has been listening for a while knows they can play with any other pedal on

[@MT-rl3dg]

3:15 Gave me goosebumps!

[@eon14873]

I'm on my lunch break on my own in the staff room. I hope nobody comes in because my eyes are welling up. Wow this band gets better all the time. Stunning work

[@jleighwolfe]

This album is dynamic and mature. Love this evolution of the band. Little bit of everything masterfully woven together

[@AlfonsoDGOfficial]

'Skeleton Of Splendor' is a brilliant song, peaceful and calm, i always love that kind of songs into a Heavy and Crushed album. In love with this new 'Hushed and Grim' record. Again... Great job guys!!!!

[@jaeden2806]

3:16 ❤ What an outstanding album.

[@Scutigera21]

Если говорить об альбоме в целом: господа, вы создали шедевр.

this song going into teardrinker is so perfect

[@tylerjacobson8012]

That’s something I don’t think everyone is talking about enough. This album is sequenced perfectly.

[@thegnjoy]

@@tylerjacobson8012 this album really shows their skills not just as songwriters but album writers; they've always been great at it but this one excels!

[@siddhartino]

The Beast + Skeleton of Splendor + Teardrinker jeez, the tracks' order is perfect! they just flow one to each other like a river

[@tunneltimemusic]

This song kind of enhanced my liking of teardrinker

[@SpaghettiWithMeatSauce]

You really owe it to yourselves to hear this song live. It is absolutely massive and an incredibly spiritual experience.

[@kayleebaginski]

I can't get over that keyboard lead in the bridge. It's really mind numbing and reminds me a lot of Pink Floyd's Animals album. It really makes Mastodon great.

[@joe-un1ky]

Pretty sure the guys said they listened to Animals a lot during the making of this album

[@positivelastaction3957]

This album takes me somewhere really special every time I listen. It's a masterpiece.

That guitar solo is perfect.. Not too much and not too little.... Just the perfect amount of fucking awesome..

[@pecannny1443]

3:15 oh I finally found the part that I heard in the ad for the Atlanta aquarium concert!! Lol

[@kosmtekken]

So godlike. Been listening since Crack The Skye when I was in middle school. Glad to see the boys are still going strong with the sound no one else can provide.

[@Martin-jk2ng]

Best album since Crack the Skye. I love this so much

I have listened to this album in its entirety so many times. Each time I pick up something new and wonderfully engaging. Such a masterpiece. The quality of this creation is superior and should not be minimized, it is a work of art!

[@orion2309]

Troy's vocals really remind me of Testament's Chuck Billy here. Amazing work.

One of the greatest hard rock albums of all time?

I prefer Crack The Skye but this is pretty close, honestly.

[@aleksandarradovanovic8496]

I think this may not be one of the best metal albums (per se), but it is one of the best music LP's of all time. If that makes sense.

[@Haunting1981]

@@aleksandarradovanovic8496 I mean I'm having trouble following that logic lol but sure. All I know is that I've been on this constant journey of music discovery for 30 years now, everything from Roy Orbison to Infant Annihilator, and this is probably in my top 10 favorite albums ever. I love Crack the Skye too, but this album just has a musical maturity to me without losing any of the trademarked Mastodon song structures and emotional grandeur. Even the last track, with it's simpler, more straight forward nature is a fucking masterpiece to me. Idk just love this album and it's been on rotation since it's dropped.
