mastodon played:

sultan's curse
divinations
the wolf is loose
crystal skull
ancient kingdom
bladecatcher
black tongue
colony of birchmen
ember city
megalodon
andromeda
oblivion
feast your eyes
show yourself
precious stones
roots remain
chimes at midnight
steambreather
clandestiny
mother puncher
cycle of cysquatch
march of the fire ants

That's a lot of songs, how long did they play

[happiness and harmony]

about 95 minutes I think. they went on at around 9:35 and finished a bit after 11:00

[Ninny]

No time wasted, must have been intense

[happiness and harmony]

it was a couple of short soundclip interludes, and a couple-three acknowledgements of the crowd from troy. and extended thanks at the end of course

otherwise, full speed ahead are they coming to the dutchylands this summer?

[Ninny]

They come to Utrecht in june, tempting

[happiness and harmony]

you need to partake of this tour. wonderful fun all around, i am recommend

hopefully they will play Atlanta later this year after skipping it this tour, if so I go again

[happiness and harmony]

show yourself is kind of bleh, but at least it has the decency to be concise. jaguar god is just this big blob to me, i'm still waiting for it to come together

jaguar god is fucking mint. i got it on listen one. its a curious one for sure. at first, it was the album highlight for me on first listen. with subsequent listens it dipped to the middle of the pack. now like 2 weeks later its back at the top again. listening to the solo right now as i type this. fuck. so good.

it clicked for me finally the brent intro is and the lyrics don't really fit the rest of the song but the rest of the song is a big

so

cts
blood mountain
emperor
omrts
leviathan
remission
the hunter

[droidspawn]

Emperor ahead of leviathan

Omrts ahead of leviathan

What in the actual fuck

[happiness and harmony]

i can appreciate leviathan for being a huge step forward from remission, and for having several all-time great heavy metal songs, let alone mastodon songs

but i got burned out on that album years ago

it is sort of like the big lebowski in that regard. it was a huge influence on me and made me laugh tremendously and i would still enjoy talking about it all day from the point of view of craftsmanship, but these days i'd rather watch a serious man

[droidspawn]

A serious man is underrated as all hell

[happiness and harmony]

i'm sayin
