| ______________________________ [Sep 24,2006 12:54pm - pam ""] right here! all hail the biased poll. |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 12:57pm - espresso ""] Yup... definately over rated |
| ______________________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 12:59pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Not overrated for me. Honest straightforward musicians, great drumming, unique sound, creative lyrics and concepts, no gimmicks. I'm afraid I had to feel special. How about a thread like this for Dragonforce or Opeth? Then you'll get my vote. |
| ___________________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 1:01pm - SlavonicIdentity ""] I think they are. |

| _____________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 1:53pm - HailTheLeaf ""] I'd say they're underrated if anything... |
| _____________________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 2:05pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] I don't know about underrated, they're one of the most hyped metal bands in the world, and the overwhelming majority of metal and heavy music fans enjoy them. They're making some good money. And for once, I can feel like this successful band actually deserves it. |

| _____________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 2:18pm - HailTheLeaf ""] I didn't know they were hyped, I still run into metal fans who've never heard of them. |
| ________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 2:19pm - Kevord ""] Cave dwellers |
| __________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 2:26pm - brian_dc ""] I voted to feel special. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 2:37pm - vomitthesoul ""] All Metalcore bands are overated.The most overated one is from this area-Unearth |
| ________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 2:38pm - Kevord ""] Mastodon aren't metalcore dumbass. |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 2:38pm - dreadkill ""] mastodon isn't a metalcore band |
| _____________________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 2:39pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] i don't think they're overrated, i just think it all depends on musical tastes. anyone who can't get into the music will most likely say they think they're overrated. i finally got the new album and after listening to it a few times and watching the dvd, i have a lot more appreciation for them. i've been a fan since lifesblood came out, but now i like them even more after seeing how much they work but at the same time how easy it comes to them because they just let it flow. |
| _____________________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 2:41pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] how the fuck can you think mastodon are a metalcore band? have you even heard them? |
| _____________________________ [Sep 24,2006 2:42pm - pam ""] I hate Mastodon, but they are NOT metalcore. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 2:49pm - HailTheLeaf ""] They're about as metalcore as Iron Maiden...I got the cd with the dvd and the dvd doesn't fucking work... |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 3:28pm - vomitthesoul ""] Kevord said:Mastodon aren't metalcore dumbass. What are they then? |
| __________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 3:28pm - litacore ""] I don't really listen to them they're just a metal band, if business is working out for them, I'd rather it was them than Hatebreed or Victory Records drek |
| __________________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 3:55pm - dwellingsickness ""] So this is thread # what, now?, Concerning this band that a majority seem to dislike ,but seem to be making new threads,just wording them differently. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 4:18pm - Cecchini ""] i thought it was pretty common knowledge that mastodon sucked. the only time i've heard praise for this band has been like the past 2 weeks. |
| ________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 4:21pm - Kevord ""] vomitthesoul said:Kevord said:Mastodon aren't metalcore dumbass. What are they then? There just a straight up Metal band there's nothing core about them. But there still mediocre. |
| _____________________________ [Sep 24,2006 4:31pm - pam ""] Evidently, the only topics permitted on RTTP are mastodon, right wing/left wing fighting and jew bashing. |
| ________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 4:35pm - Kevord ""] Don't forget sick moshing and how much you suck. |
| _____________________________ [Sep 24,2006 4:36pm - pam ""] haha. That too. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 6:41pm - Allah That ""] Dar reads Nietzsche. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 6:44pm - anonymoUSA ""] back on topic: i find them boring and easy to forget. zzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz |

| _____________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 7:00pm - Allah That ""] They already thot of that. mastodon= millions of years old. |

| ________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 7:39pm - Ryan_M ""] Every band in the world is over rated. Listen to music you like. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 7:54pm - xanonymousx ""] mastodon stole a haste the day riff from their ep way back. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 8:17pm - metalguy ""] I can't find anything redeeming about listening to that band. |
| _____________________________________________ [Sep 24,2006 9:59pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] vomitthesoul said:Kevord said:Mastodon aren't metalcore dumbass. What are they then? Hard to describe, but a fusion of classic metal, death metal, some punk and hardcore, prog rock, blues and stoner rock. Vocals are very similar to other bands from their home area like F.U.C.T., early Today is the Day (2 of the Mastodon guys were in TITD and Lethargy at one point) with a touch of early splattercore like old C.O.C., etc. Their conceptual style for lyrics and artwork theme is a marriage of prehistoric imagery, psychedelia, mythology, and various forces of nature. Their lyrics are heavily influenced by Neurosis, although their music is in a way very busy, and thus the antithesis of Neurosis. |

MASTODON SUCKS bECAUZE THEY ARE POPULAR!!! POPULAR = METALCORE. I FEEL THRET-END. ZOMG ANY POPULAR METAL SUX!!! There, a better and more accurate critique. |

Opeth had recognition for years, it's just that newbs and bandwagon metal fans (who didn't give a shit about metal in the 90s) didn't listen to them because they weren't popular yet. So they hadn't heard them. And yes, they are overrated. |
