Members Blackwater Posted March 18, 2009 Members Share Posted March 18, 2009 BW is Brent playing a 12 string in that pic? Yeah...its his First Act 12 string. It is actually a really {censored}ing nice guitar. Their custom shop has stepped it up a lot! Bill's Custom FA is a nine string same as Matt Pikes.

Members .homewrecker. Posted March 18, 2009 Members Share Posted March 18, 2009 dude are those scion rock fest pics??? i was there, and it was totally {censored}ing amazing!!!!brent played that 12 string on almost everything, from some of the new stuff, to Hearts Alive (yes, even on the solo!), to Iron Tusk. sounded {censored}ing BADASS!!!!!! Man that's awesome, Hearts Alive is hands down my favorite Mastodon song. They opened with it when they were touring to support that album and I was floored that a somewhat unknown band at the time would OPEN their set with a 14 minute EPIC.

Gatdamn, even since I saw that Matt Pike 9 string I've been looking for a double cut that looks like it, bad ass shape. Can't find anything in lefty though.

Contact FA's Custom shop I bet they could make a lefty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though Heritage makes a double cut that looks a lot like that, and would probably be cheaper... Ah I have too many guitars as it is though.

Members Blackwater Posted March 18, 2009 Members Share Posted March 18, 2009 I believe matts is based off a 70's Yamaha SA2000 i believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lewzer Posted March 18, 2009 Members Share Posted March 18, 2009 I'm just finishing my first listen. It usually takes me a few listens to REALLY get into any album, but I can say that I'm loving it so far. Great melodies are all over the place, the singing is WAY better than anything they've ever done. Just a top notch production from top to bottom.

Members nexbot Posted March 19, 2009 Members Share Posted March 19, 2009 I started a new thread on this earlier, whoops! Anyway, yeah, it usually takes me a couple listens to really get into an album, especially any somewhat proggy stuff, but this is just incredible. I want to see this live.

Members Happy_Thom Posted March 19, 2009 Members Share Posted March 19, 2009 I respect that they're doing something different all the time and not just rehashing their stuff or selling out like SOAD did but I don't like the singing at all. It's cheesy. Older stuff is far better. Proggy but really heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ravelm3nt Posted March 19, 2009 Members Share Posted March 19, 2009 I'm such a dumbass. I thought this album was already out so I drove all over town trying to find it last night. Then I realized that I'm old because I'm searching for a CD instead of looking for the FLAC online. I really like the direction they're going in.

Members Happy_Thom Posted March 19, 2009 Members Share Posted March 19, 2009 How is the singing cheesy? It's much better than grunting or screaming though the whole thing. Where did I say I exclusively liked grunting and screaming? I like whatever makes the music sound better as a whole. There's more singing on the last couple of albums but it was incorporated well. (sleeping giant? Capillarian Crest?) Now the singing is too high in the mix (and gayer) so regardless of what is happening in the actual music a lot of it is overshadowed by whiny cheesy nonsense. Maybe I need to give it more of a chance but if you go from writing songs like march of the fire ants and the wolf is loose to basically not writing songs as good as that - you fail. It's not like I can't appreciate the proggy-ness of it either as they've always been pretty off the wall.I won't write off their new album just yet but from what I've heard so far when I download it those tracks will be deleted immediately.
