Emperor Of Sand follows after Once More 'Round The Sun and The Hunter before it as a mixture of streamlined hard rock and periodic bursts of classic Mastodon fury, with a psychedelic alt-rock haze seeping into a few riffs. As with any Mastodon album, Emperor Of Sand houses some inspired musicianship now and then, especially from Brann Dailor, but in keeping with the band's recent trend, the album centers around less kinetic displays and aims for commercial heaviness.

I don't know how you folks concluded in choosing the best Mastodon album. I'm gonna sweat if I have to choose the best Mastodon CD - I fucking can't, except "Emperor Of Sand". Other than this, they have flawless discography.


Yeah pretty much, but for me Crack the Skye is just another level. This album has some really cool moments too, like Jaguar God and Clandestiny.
8 is a bit generous though, I must admit. Cold Dark Place EP is a real 8.

I forgot what album I had on, "Jaguar God" played and I thought I was listening to Enslaved for a minute.
