[quote name='MRJESUS925']A "friend" of mine today said that Mastodon is horrible. Our group of friends then went into civil war. I was on the "love them" side. Anybody else like 'em?[/QUOTE]
I'm mainly into the Leviathan album. Remission is decent too but they sort of lost me with Blood Mountain.
[quote name='Canadian_Man']No.
First exposure to them was live, thought they were enjoyable. Didn't care for any of their recorded material except for "The Wolf Is Loose" which even then, only the intro riff is any good. Saw them again at Heavy MTL while waiting for Maiden and thought they were terrible.
Bandwagon band.[/QUOTE]
Like Meshuggah! There sure are a lot of bandwagon bands.
[quote name='SneakyPenguin']Can you explain what makes Isis amazing as opposed to Cult of Luna, or Neurosis? I just can't make it through a single album from them, only shit I like is their Melvins cover or the Agoraphobic Nosebleed remix they did.[/QUOTE]
Isis is more focused on atmospheric melodic parts than the other bands you mentioned. Their mood is also a bit more uplifting as well. If you are more into the aggressive side you'll see more of that on their first album, Celestial.
[quote name='MRJESUS925']I just going to throw this one out there.
I LOVE SEPULTURA.

Over time I've really come to appreciate Andreas Kisser's guitar playing. His stuff is quite memorable as opposed to standard wanking.

Yeah, don't listen to anybody suggesting Roots or Chaos A.D. Both those records are groovy, riffless bullshit.[/QUOTE]
It's a real shame they quickly lost interest in straight 16th notes and continuous double bass.
