God, Crusher Destroyer and March Of The Fire Ants...2 of the best opening tracks in metal history. Like, those 2 songs just perfectly summarize the entire band. Crushing, catchy, ethereal, epic, sludgy and obscenely well written. Like it or not, you're going to have every note of every song etched in to your brain. I can't believe more bands didn't take this segmented songwriting approach mastodon did. Like, rarely does mastodon write a filler section, also, their use of pick-patterns with notably serene and unorthodox chord shapes is just ogasmic.
