Our Take

MASTODON's latest offering, "Medium Rarities," is a veritable mixed grill of tracks that showcase the band's evolution over the years. Searing riffs and thunderous drumming are on full display, as the Atlanta quartet dive into their vault to unearth a collection of B-sides, covers, and live cuts.

The album kicks off with "Fallen Torches," a masterclass in progressive metal that will have you headbanging like there's no tomorrow. The band's knack for weaving complex rhythms and intricate melodies shines through on tracks like "Blood & Thunder" and "Crystal Skull."

But it's not all heavy shredding on "Medium Rarities." MASTODON also show their softer side with acoustic tracks like "Jaguar God" and "Toe to Toes," proving that they can dial it down just as well as they can turn it up to 11.

The real gem of this album, however, is the cover of "A Commotion" by Feist. MASTODON injects their trademark sludgy sound into this indie pop hit, transforming it into a raging powerhouse of a track that will have you hitting repeat over and over again.

Overall, "Medium Rarities" is a must-listen for any MASTODON fan, offering a tantalising glimpse into the band's eclectic musical palette. So grab your air guitar and get ready to rock out to this wild and woolly collection of tracks.
