Record is great, even if I prefer Leviathan after a re-listen of the early works (sounds like I was there from the start but I heard them maybe 10 years after besides the videos on TV of course)
Drums are great, even if I had preferred a drummer like Anthrax' soundwise, (maybe cause I also played deep TAMAs and love that sound) but technique is great and suiting for this genre
Guitars are the big plus for this band, really great harmonywork etc and with flashbacks to the whole metal/hard rock history
Bassist are wellknown and well deservedly so, Keanu Reeves long lost brother J/K...but I have to say the singing is the downfall, cannot help wondering what had become with a great singer, a new name, their own Belladonna, Dickinson or Geoff Tate...or even a Araya for a harder edge...even though I like everything Brent is doing in this band and with this band
But that is also the problem with bands like Lamb of God, maybe it will happen in some sideproject or All Star Band in the future
The DVD though is the worst censored imagewise since Slayer's Soundtrack to the Apocalypse, might be the European companies that "TV censors" every single t-shirt and poster, makes it a bore to see and takes away from the whole experience!
Hometapes are hard to watch picture- and soundwise anyway without the blurry items on shirts and walls...
But all-in-all a great band of the post-2000 era
Be well,

The 45 rpm vinyl is the best version of this album.

This is my favorite album by Mastodon, although everything they do is amazing.
I love every song on this album from start to finish, and getting it on vinyl is such a treat to the ears! High recommended!

"Doom metal"?!?!?! Mastodon is an amazing band, but they are in no way a "doom metal" band.

I recently luckily obtained a test pressing of blood mountain. its a VERY odd record, it opens with colony of birchmen which on the final record is track 7 (? 6? whatever) and the tracks seem unmixed? or not final, some songs sound faster than what i am used to these songs ive been listening to for years sounding.....etchings rr7025-10 given to me as a gift from an Relapse employee.
so apparently there were a couple runs of test pressings? who knows.

This record is DEAD. QUIET. I'm very impressed with it. The dynamic range is as close to perfection as is humanly possible. Killer mastering.

this is the second and last mastodon album I will ever buy on vinyl, sound is not good especially the last tracks of each side.
tis a shame those magnificent gibson guitars come across so muddy and distorted .

This record has a minimal amount of surface noise, is of substantial weight, and sounds phenomenal. I would not hesitate to purchase this reissue.
