Mastodon: Brann Dailor, Brent Hinds, Bill Kelliher, Troy Sanders.
Initial pressings included a bonus DVD featuring a live performance at the Masquerade, Atlanta, Georgia on December 1, 2002.
Mastodon: Brann Dailor, Brent Hinds, Bill Kelliher, Troy Sanders.
The Atlanta-based foursome play a very aggressive stoner rock hybrid that at times reminds of the non-death metal excursions by Entombed, but with a complex slant that nears prog rock proportions. The jazzy drumming and clean guitar that go on for most of "Ol'e Nessie" is a Southern-sounding sprawl that could be the Allmans if the brothers bludgeoned with the "Whipping Post" instead of just tying folks up to it. Even though their homeland's influence is more subtle the rest of the way, it's still there if you look beneath the Sab-Stooge-Motörhead Gristle, and that, along with the technical ecstasy, helps make Mastodon stand out amongst a ton of other post-Man's Ruin Stonehenge rockers. ~ Brian O'NeillCMJ (5/20/02, p.18) - "...There is not a stitch of musical material on this full-length debut that isn;t captivating..." Remission Music Review Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Brutal Mood
One Killer Album, takes a bit of getting used to the vocals but after your past that wall it's an infectious album full of riffs that keep you wanting more.Favorites being Ol'e Nessie, Trainwreck and Trilobite.

great record
This album is true mastodon. It requires your full attention. I can see where most metal fans wouldn't like it, but thats why a true metal fan should listen to it. Don't skip around, force yourself to listen to the whole thing all the way through, you're bound do find something to interest you.

Now listen... this album deserves your absolute attention. This album is guarenteed to assualt your senses, kill your mind and rape your very well-being. Riffs sounding like the gates of Hell are opening and drumlines to lead these foul minions from Hell. Don't take it from me, buy this album NOW and hand your soul over to the MIGHTY MASTODON!!!

MASTODON LIVES
This album is ridiculously good. The opening song is one of the best openers for an album I have heard in quite a long time. The whole feel of this album is crazy. The drummer (formally of Today is the Day) is going absolutely ape sh!t on this record. It sounds like he is doing cadences through out the songs. Its sick. The guitar riffs are downtuned almost to a Meshuggah level (was probably my main attraction to Mastodon) and they drive a spike straight through your temple. This album was up there with Meshuggah's Nothing for albums of 2002 in my book. Buy this cd and play it non-stop. Mastodon are set to devastate your weak minds! God has spoken\m/

This is by far the most intense album I've ever heard. It blows me away every time I listen to it. Mastodon is truly a magnificent band that will be remembered in the world of metal.

Purchase Remission CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Alice In Chains Dirt CD (1992)
Remission
 $6.49  
Live Recording
Alice In Chains: Layne Staley, Jerry Cantrell (vocals, guitar); Michael Starr (bass); Sean Kinney (drums).
Additional personnel: Tom Araya (background vocals).
Recorded in 1992.
Dirt is Alice in Chains' major artistic statement and the closest they ever came to recording a flat-out masterpiece. It's a primal, sickening howl from the depths of Layne Staley's heroin addiction, and one of the most harrowing concept albums ever recorded. Not every song on Dirt is explicitly about heroin, but Jerry Cantrell's solo-written contributions (nearly half the album) effectively maintain the thematic coherence -- nearly every song is imbued with the morbidity, self-disgust, and/or resignation of a self-aware yet powerless addict. Cantrell's technically limited but inventive guitar work is by turns explosive, textured, and queasily disorienting, keeping the listener off balance with atonal riffs and off-kilter time signatures. Staley's stark confessional ...
| | Call Of The Mastodon CD (2006)
Remission
$11.65  
In 2006, Mastodon followed up its magnum opus, LEVIATHAN, with a collection of early recordings entitled CALL OF THE MASTODON. Although fans of the adventurous Georgia-based metal band may have been initially disappointed at the lack of a new studio album, CALL admirably reveals the group's beginnings by presenting the crushingly heavy LIFESBLOOD EP in its entirety, along with other formative tracks such as the mammoth "Deep Sea Creature," which pummels listeners with pile-driving rhythms, unrelenting riffage, and throat-shredding vocals. CALL shows that as monumentally heavy as the band would ...
| | Mastodon Leviathan CD (2004)
Remission
$11.89 
Epic studio release of power.
Personnel: Neil Fallon, Scott Kelly (vocals); Phil Peterson (cello); Matt Bayles (organ); Bränn Dailor, Troy Sanders, Brent Hinds, Bill Kelliher.
Audio Mixer: Matt Bayles.
Recording information: EK Studios, Seattle, WA (03/2004); Robert Lang Studios, Seattle, WA (03/2004); Studio Litho, Seattle, WA (03/2004).
When Mastodon first reared its bucktoothed head in 2001 with the Lifesblood EP, the scriveners of metal took note: here was something promising. With 2002's Remission, the promise was kept; it was a debut that puzzled and excited listeners with an amalgam of styles: hardcore punk's intensity and angular chops; death metal's squealing, complex guitars; a heaviness usually the province of sludge and doom metal; and drumming that risked its integrity and ventured into the territory of wank by courting progressive rock and jazz. (Has anyone other than Magma's Christian Vander dared to marry percussion this complex to metal this extreme?) Other bands have flirted with this ...
| | Mudvayne Lost And Found CD (2005)
Remission
$8.99
Mudvayne: Chad Gray (vocals); Greg Tribbett (guitar); Ryan Martinie (bass guitar); Matt McDonough (drums).
It's been three years for Mudvayne, three years when metal started to reject its "rap" and "nu" prefixes. At first, Lost and Found reflects that realignment. Vocalist Chad Gray and his mates have nixed the nicknames and makeup for their third Epic full-length, and they try to focus on songs instead of heavy music shtick. However, they equate getting real with the melodramatic plead that interrupts the razor-sharp main part of "Choices," and Gray can't overcome lines like "IMN"'s "No one/No one could ever understand/This life." The song is about suicide, which is very serious. But yelling "F*ck this sh*t!" over thudding rhythms just isn't very powerful anymore. They nail it on opener "Determined" -- one of Mudvayne's all-time strongest tracks, it's a fist-swinging blast of modernized thrash. But Lost and Found soon falls into the familiar, busting no-one-understands-me lyrics and matching moments of refreshing rawness to stretches of stereotypical "corporate metal," a non-genre that's risen up to accept loud rock ...

Recorded at Ocean Way, Essential Sound, Loud Recording and Studio 56, Nashville, Tennessee.
Phil Vassar established himself as a top country songwriter by penning vigorous, rock-influenced romps for Tim McGraw and Jo Dee Messina. On his own, Vassar is an enthusiastic vocalist, a skilled pianist, and a gifted composer of spirited, nostalgic tales. Like Tom T. Hall, Vassar has a talent for chronological storytelling, squeezing big emotions out of small-town details. The boisterous "Carlene," an immediate hit, details the rediscovery of a high school valedictorian who blossomed into a fashion model. "Joe & Rosalita" follows a similar blueprint, commemorating the journey of two childhood sweethearts from senior prom to domestic bliss. Subsequent hits like "Just Another Day in Paradise" and "That's When I Love You" benefited from the album's good-time piano and guitar vibe, and launched Vassar as a distinctive recording artist. Various country music awards may have solidified his reputation among his peers, but no accolade validates Vassar's talent more than a song like "Didn't You Know She's Gone," in which Vassar speaks through various inanimate objects before admitting the truth to himself. As the dialogue progresses, echoes of '60s pop give way to heartbreaking guitar until his revelation surmounts poetic denial. It is one of many highlights on Phil Vassar, an imaginative debut that suggests he has a wealth of future material for himself and others. ~ Vince Ripol
Vassar is the top Nashville songwriter responsible for such smash hits as Dee Messina's "Bye Bye" and "I'm Alright" and Alan Jackson's "Right on the Money." As you might ...
