once bands get to a certain point of popularity, the buzz subsides and people usually just kinda take their records for granted going forward. i think mastodon lost a lot of fanfare with 'the hunter'. they're the best band that gets any mainstream attention though, imo. they lay log, slayer's recent shit, metallica, etc to waste
I don't know, I only noticed an increase in popularity from CTS to The Hunter. Considering they were up for the grammy and the only metal band on Rolling Stone's 2011 list, they've still got buzz surrounding them.
and especially now that theyre doing something as mainstream as a song for a pixar movie, not that that adds to their credibility as metal musicians necessarily.
at least mastodon is still trying to be inventive (and its working)...LOG is recycling the same old trash and if they started as a band with Sacrament being their debut album they would be considered a pretty lame band..
log music is still pretty decent...i don't want to turn it off when i hear it lol.....and there is really no comparison when you talk about the live shows
