Review# 60
Ahhhhh, that's better! So I feel a little bad about my rant about Mastodons Crack The Skye album, not really though but I would like to review a good album (which could be almost anything after Crazy Town) and this is an amazing album and will destroy the memory of that last pile of shit I reviewed!
Remission is pretty much just 50min of brutally amazing tracks that make you forget this is a debut album. The album is raw aggressive power and was listed in Metal Hammer magazines top 100 heavy albums a good 5 or so years ago. The technical ability shown by the band always blows me away and especially so on Remission. The riffs are big and strong and powerful with the drums adding just enough technical craziness but not too much to override the guitars and vocals. I love the sound on this album, the drums definitely stand out for me as some of the best sounding drum production on an album with an organic sound. So basically it hasn't been over polished and on the whole feels honest.
I find it hard to pick favourite tracks when I listen to the album in full but I am particularly fond of March Of The Fire Ants, Workhorse, Mother Puncher and Trainwreck so you can have all of them as your video/aural treats for today!
