Mastodon are a band that know how to play to their strengths, and no album showcases this fact better than The Hunter. Both drastically different and instantly familiar, this is a monster of an album, filled with crushing schizophrenic riffs, psychedelia, melody, stoner-inspired songwriting flare, and some of the best vocals Mastodon have ever produced. The Hunter delivers on just about every level. This is the result of a band evolving, no more, no less. |
