I think that this Cd has to be one of the best records ever written in Metal today. I mean it starts off with a 5 minute track Oblivion which starts off with a acoustic intro and comes in with Brann mind blowing singing. Than Divinations has to be my favorite song just because of catchy chorus and awesome Guitar solo. Quintessence is a very doomy, melodic Prog song typical my mastodon, nice to listen to. The Czar is amazing with its 10 minute song which i enjoy a lot. Stats off slow and than picks up the way any band should pick a sound up, than with a rocking Guitar solo. Than the Ghost of Karelia has very interesting vocals that keep you wanting to listen over and over. Than Crack the Skye is just something that keeps you listening with its acoustiv intro picking up with its heavy vocals, probably in my eyes the heaviest song on the album. Than one of my favorites the The Last baron has everything from clean to heavy to prog to anything else you can think of that mastodon has done so far. Best part of the song would have to be Brendan singing in that song, just amazing. By the Cd i promise you wont be disappointed.
What's great about it: Every song was just mind blowing especially Divinations, The Czar, Oblivion and the Last Baron
What's not so great: Wish they had more songs because i love it that much
