“Metal outfit Mastodon drops the significantly more likable sequel to 2011's The Hunter.”
“The latest album from the Atlanta metal titans finds them stuck traversing two separate paths: the straightforward wallop of Foo Fighters-style rock records, and the hard, nasty sludge of their older work. Mastodon have jettisoned the overarching concepts of old for a simpler mission: to be a hard rock band making hard rock records.”
