Our Take

Oh, darling music aficionados, prepare to have your ears tickled and your minds blown by the latest offering from Mastodon: "Crack The Skye". This album is as eccentric and mind-boggling as a cup of tea with a dash of brandy. From start to finish, it's a journey through a psychedelic sonic landscape that will leave you feeling like you've just taken a ride on the Tube during rush hour - a bit disoriented, but oddly exhilarated.

The musicianship on display here is nothing short of exceptional. Each member of Mastodon plays their part with precision and flair, like a well-oiled machine made up of musical wizards. The intricate guitar work is reminiscent of a posh afternoon tea, with layers of complexity that unfold with each listen. The rhythm section pounds away like a troupe of mad hatter drummers, setting the pace for the madness that ensues.

The vocals on "Crack The Skye" are a rare treat, like stumbling upon a quirky little pub tucked away in a cobblestone alley. The harmonies soar and swoop, taking you on a rollercoaster of emotional highs and lows. And the lyrics? Well, let's just say they're as cheeky and charming as a pint of Guinness.

In conclusion, "Crack The Skye" is a musical journey not to be missed. So grab your top hat and monocle, sit back, and let Mastodon take you on a wild ride through their whimsical world of sound. Cheers!
