"Teardrinker" Within a bruised heart I'll just say when Just one time before It will come again Little voice inside Inside my head Tell me when it's time to turn around again All appears to fade away I can see your face And I feel the pain And I feel the shame that I have let you down again People everywhere Not a drop to drink Not a dare to think about the damage I have done Try to give up what weighs What weighs you down The only control you have Is all your own Do I fit the pieces Together again Or do I leave them lying on the floor? All appears to fade away I can see your face And I feel the pain And I feel the shame that I have let you down again People everywhere Not a drop to drink Not a dare to think about the damage I have done Leaving you behind Is the hardest thing I've done Asking where did I go wrong? I wonder what all of this makes Does fortune favor the bold? I only know that leaving you Was the hardest thing To cut and run I can see your face And I feel the pain And I feel the shame that I have let you down again People everywhere Not a drop to drink Not a dare to think about the damage I have done

I dissagree. Brann is technically the best, also live. But Brent his timbre is much more special, more melancholic.. the hunter, last baron, the czar, jaguar God, cold dark place Actually in my opinion, they probably will never write as good as melancholic songs because they tend to give Brent less lyrics, to perform "better" live Or am I wrong..

Saw them live in 2012 in Myrtle Beach, SC at the House of Blues with Ghost and Opeth. Troy and Brann were on point with the vocals so was Brent. Seeing Brann crushing his drums and killing it vocaly live was really a site to see.

But, if you don't like them, why are you still listening?

[@frenchtoast2319]

@@arttucker6678 mastodon was my favorite band for quite a few years and so with every album they release i give a listen in the hopes that its not this neo emo crap. Ill say this. This album is 10x better than their last two efforts. Gojira is a better example of a band that has evolved and yet still sounds like themselves. The only thing that sounds similar to mastodon is their instrumental, underwater-esque guitars and ramping drums. Mastodons early stuff was unique at the time, maybe now comparing them to "every other metal band" they sound alike, but thats because so many have tried to capture what mastodon once had. How mastodon lost their singer right before they blew up and troy stepped up to do vocals, and made up the lyrics since none of them knew what the original lyrics were, gave them a less polished feel, in the best way possible. What really gets at me is how everyone loves brann's vocals, i feel like im listening to maroon 5 when he sings. He knocked the creature lives out of the park, its a great song and his voice is perfect for it. But the way the band seems to pedestal him on their 2 previous albums, which were terrible, shows their lack of self awareness. Their audience has mostly changed, while there are still a lot of die hard mastodon fans, there are a whole lot of new fans. They adapted to whats popular in the mainstream, which isn't always a bad thing, but to me, it feels like they've lost the original vision of their music. Leviathan is a classic, crack the skye was game changing, i even enjoyed blood mountain and the hunter quite a bit. If i remember correctly, the hunter is where they really started lossing the OG fans, but it was still solid in my book. This album, i need to listen a few more times. I think i'll like it after digesting it a bit, it does feel more in line with their earlier work than once more and emperor. Im not against the band, i want them to be good. They just let me down for the last 10 years or so.

The drumming in this song is amazing and the mathcore-esque riffs are fantastic

[@chrishyde8906]

Sooo poppy! There’ll be a buncha confused metalheads when this premiers! Man I hope the whole double is this adventurous. Haven’t been this intrigued since Midlife Crisis snippet in 92. Yes I’m old.

[@johnsnider2956]

I mean they've been poppy for a minute. Really just wish they'd make a truly heavy song with the melodic confidence of their last few albums.

[@chirpywiggins5796]

Midlife Crisis was groundbreaking and still sounds modern and unique today! I am also old 🤪

[@2003.grievous]

@@johnsnider2956 I thought a bunch of songs off of Emperor of Sand were a great mix of heavy and melodic, especially towards the end of the album. Fallen Torches (song, not the whole album) was a little more of a lament in my opinion, but still had some great weight. Plus anything with Kelly is pretty heavy in general. However, I agree that an entire record like that would be fucking SICK.

Right on Chris! ✊

@@johnsnider2956 I feel you on that. But the older I get the more the hunter and omrts rise up in the ranks, workhorse will always be their best song though.

Lyrics Within a bruised heart I'll just say when Just one time before It will come again Little voice inside Inside my head Tell me when it's time to turn around again All appears to fade away I can see your face And I feel the pain And I feel the shame that I have let you down again People everywhere Not a drop to drink Not a dare to think about the damage I have done Try to give up what weighs What weighs you down The only control you have Is all your own Do I fit the pieces together again Or do I leave them lying on the floor? All appears to fade away I can see your face And I feel the pain And I feel the shame that I have let you down again People everywhere Not a drop to drink Not a dare to think about the damage I have done Leaving you behind Is the hardest thing I've done Asking where did I go wrong? I wonder what all of this makes Does fortune favor the bold? I only know that leaving you Was the hardest thing To cut and run I can see your face And I feel the pain And I feel the shame that I have let you down again People everywhere Not a drop to drink Not a dare to think about the damage I have done

[@perry7777]

Lots of symbolism about reflecting on the past in this, coupled w the ending showing that this moment will also be, at one point, a reflection. The future is still undetermined.

Wow when Troy's voice comes in makes me feel so emotional such power.

[@vulcan190]

Once again showing their range. It’s not a matter of genre, they just make good music. They could put out a blue grass album and it would be awesome.

[@aleksandarradovanovic8496]

I would actually listen the shit out of that. A bluegrass effort with Brent (ofc) and Brann on the leads

[@duncanpearce9950]

Brents side project "Fiend Without A Face" is pretty great! It's actually somewhat bluegrassy 😂

[@jackrex7817]

If the label had any brains in their skulls, they would pump every last dollar they have into making sure this gets on every rock station in America, because this is the rock radio hit. This is the Platinum mover. This is the one that gets clicks and listens, by a wide swath of people.

[@keithkirby7376]

why is nobody talking about how they put their right hand in the box and all you ever see are shots of left hands..i cant take much more of this

@@JaceErlan I think mastodon are just a bunch of trolls XD

[@DarioVarasG]

I had my heart severed in a thousand pieces this year and Mastodon helped me cope with the pain. Now they gift us this wonderful song and it all comes full circle for me. "Within a bruised heart, I'll just say when Just one time before, it will come again".

[@ConjuredUndead]

Hey Dario. Brann would love this.

Вот, что значит петь душой! В последнее время почти никто так не делает, все копируют друг-друга, пытаясь быть в тренде. А эти ребята всегда были особенные, в стороне, на своей дороге, которых больше нет.

Mastodon has stayed together longer than my parents. Cheers guys. What a legacy.

[@trottingfoxinc]

I love that this has shades of all the guys' side projects in it. That synth solo was an unexpected treat. * EDIT: I've now learned it was a bass, Troy is a master of disguise *

[@sonvult583]

actually I think it was guitar with very heavy effects. that's what it sounded like to me anyway.

[@trottingfoxinc]

@@sonvult583 could very well have been a guitar thru a synth pedal or something like that. Still a cool sound for them!

[@mr.beaverchair3622]

That was actually Troy playing a bass solo with a pitch shifter (Brann discussed it during an IG live video earlier today)
