Dude just give at least this release a chance. You will not regret it even if turn out not totally digging it. It's by far their most accessible release. Due to the production which is really raw and dry, and Mike's most distinguishable vocals to date. I know you love great guitar playing (the riffs especially.... ), and huge hooks from what I've discovered from your posts. This record has this in spades man, it'll have you headbanging in no time and shouting along to the lyrics if you give it an honest chance. It's more of a progressive metal record filtered though doom metal.

You don't know how happy that makes me when people say that about their live show. I absolutely can't wait til I get to see them perform. How were the Atma songs live? I know a lot of people complain about the production on it, but I don't mind it. Everybody says live its a different story and they completely crush.

If it weren't for the fact that I've seen Sleep live, Atma would be hands down the heaviest shit ever live that I've experienced. You're in for quite a treat.

I consciously omitted all three of my top 10 non-metal picks simply due to the fact that I know that not one other person will elect any goddamned one of them.

That wouldn't be considered immoral, would it?

And BTW Brad, your Mastodon meme is absolutely correct Too bad they didn't release Crack the Skye this year, then it would be warranted as well

[brutal_descent]

Kind of hoping Mastodon isn't too high on the list
