Southern rock, prog and metal. Having these genres come together should be a disaster. But not in Mastodon's hands. Grimy guitars soaked in mud doesn't get in the way of complicated song structures or virtuosic playing. Added to this songs about Moby Dick and Rasputin you have thinking man's metal for the music's working class roots. I've never really had much desire to learn guitar. That was until I started listening to Mastodon regularly. Now I kinda want to pick up a guitar and play around. Or maybe I'll pick up an ax and find a tree to cut down.
