Love them or hate them, Mastodon rocks. Their $45 deluxe album editions don’t necessarily rock, but hey, they sound great and I buy them anyways (as do plenty of others, I am sure). You can always go the “cheap” route and buy the $25 version compressed onto one slab of vinyl. Or you could spend [...]
Wow, seriously. This has been a long time coming. Classic Mastodon album, finally being repressed by Relapse. The 3rd pressing comes on 4 different colors, breakdown as follows: 998 translucent red, 997 translucent gold, 999 translucent green, and 500 black.

Insound has posted preorders for the deluxe edition of Mastodon’s hotly anticipated Crack The Skye album. We aren’t sure what warrants the $43 price tag on this thing, but hopefully it is well worth it. We do know that it is a 180gm double LP cut at 45rpm and also comes with a 7″ single [...]
