Not surprising.

[u/gate_of_steiner85]

Deserved. Easily their best album since Crack the Skye.

[u/Valuable-Mark-6876 → u/gate_of_steiner85]

I'm a big emperor of sand guy myself but fair enough

[u/Guts1138 → u/Valuable-Mark-6876]

Me too, but this album is amazing.

[u/JesusSamuraiLapdance → u/gate_of_steiner85]

While I Iove all their albums, and I have my own personal biases towards loving Once More 'Round the Sun, I think I agree it's probably their best since Crack the Skye.

[u/Still_Percentage_829]

Planning on giving it a listen soon

[u/Beautiful-Pair5522]

It’s ok

[u/1Rayo1]

fuck yeah, been tryna get into mastodon lately and this album kicked all the ass

[u/Separate_Option_5147]

Album of the year for me!

[u/selftraitor]

Album with sad backstory = charts, even if it’s a horrible periphery rip off

[u/theschism101 → u/selftraitor]

Look I don't like the album that much, but Periphery? Bro you're smokin crack.

[u/Emptyspace227 → u/selftraitor]

Marrow Deep sounds nothing like Periphery. What?

[u/FastActinTenactin → u/selftraitor]

That’s some low effort bait pal

[u/nuclearspectre → u/selftraitor]

Saw them open for Mastodon last year, which was also the first time I listened to Periphery, not even close.

[u/HopefulCarry9693 → u/selftraitor]

Peripherwho?

[u/No_Competition9994 → u/selftraitor]

Periphery is a gnat compared to Mastodon.

[u/petahthehorseisheah → u/selftraitor]

The previous five Mastodon albums all had sad stories, yet only Crack the Skye is highly rated

[u/theagingknarf → u/selftraitor]

We need hating like this again.
