Knowing that Mastodon is an offshoot of pioneering progressive post-hardcore band Today Is the Day may give prospective listeners a clue as to what awaits them on LEVIATHAN, but will probably not prepare them for the sheer metallic thrust and organic complexity of the Mastodon sound. Often recalling the most jaw-droppingly facile passages from Rush's 2112 mixed with the heaviest bits of Metallica's MASTER OF PUPPETS, the group's music is slightly less heady than that of peers Dillinger Escape Plan or Coalesce, but no less technically demanding. The difference may be Mastodon's obvious roots in metal rather than hardcore or emo; even the screaming vocals sound more like Slayer than Sick of It All. LEVIATHAN is at once serpentine and thundering, simultaneously positioning itself as one of the genre's most ambitious and accessible works, delivering 10 tracks that more than live up to the mammoth image suggested by the disc's MOBY DICK-inspired cover art and lyrics.

Japanese pressing of 2004 album from the Atlanta, GA, heavy metal quartet. Scheduled to include 4 bonus tracks. Ritual.Rolling Stone (p.120) - 3 1/2 stars out of 5 - "Mastodon are among the more stylistically diverse and accomplished of the new crop of indie metal bands."
Spin (p.120) - "This white whale of a record lashes methodical riffology to nimble-yet-brutal tunes..." - Grade: A
Alternative Press (p.146) - 5 out of 5 - "[U]nstoppable riffs and throat-poaching from Neurosis' Scott Kelly and Clutch's Neil Fallon seal the deal like a harpoon in your blowhole."
CMJ (p.18) - "[I]t's like the Harley-Davidson of metal: lives to rock, and rocks to live."

5 stars Metal for your brain
This is an esoteric metal look at the hunt for the great white whale. These guys break the sterotype that metalheads are merely sitting around sucking bongs and playing Nintendo. There was some serious thought put into this album and it shows. Mastodon simply rocks. These guys should be around for many, many years.

4 stars Strong Metal Epic
Yes, this album is a strong masterpiece put together both thoughtfully and with quality. While it is not original by being based off of Moby Dick (Laurie Anderson put together an album and a full production tour based off of the novel back in about 1999), it still sounds refreshing with the vocals of old Testament and guitars of Metallica or Megadeth. Good job.

5 stars Frenetic metal
Wow, this is the most interesting new thing since Metallica's "Master of Puppets." The music is filled with complex arrangements that will satisfy any metal head, but should also get the attention of general music lovers. I recommend this album to people with an eclectic taste for music. Even if you don't like metal, there's a good chance you will love this. Try it for yourself. This is one of the top 10 metal albums ever made.

5 stars Next big band in rock?
Mastodon latest effort is strange, beautiful, aggresive thing that blows anything in modern music away. Itīs a mix between Kyuss, Rush and Neurosis but maybe a bit more brutal. You must give this CD some time before you understand itīs Greatness, maybe the best CD on the market for many years, and for years to come.
