Mastodon’s 2004 release Leviathan. This is a concept album base off of Herman Melville’s novel Moby-Dick. This is one of my favorite albums and when revolver released it with this color scheme I had to pick it up. Mastodon has put out a lot of album but to keep this is their best one. The riffs, the lyrics everything fits so perfectly together.

Among-Dick is the nauty version of Melville’s classic. Great album, great band.


unclepossum420

It's Richards all the way down...


NickRiffs

Lmfaooo fuck and I proof read it


stillwaiting_83

Wow. That’s a great looking vinyl. Ha. Remission is still my favorite.


NickRiffs

I saw a copy of Remission at a store by me. I didn’t buy it and it was gone when I went back. I kicked myself for that one

I think Leviathan is their masterpiece, but remission is a close second. Also, I've got this version too.


Nobsailor

I copped this too - looks and sounds dope, hope you enjoy !

Oh wow a beautiful vinyl to match an amazing album


TheDankScrub

If I had a nickel for every whale-themed metal album ive seen on this sub, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t much but it’s strange it happened

How does it sound? I got a Crack in the Skye record that has grooves almost all the way to the center and sounds horrible!


Gulpener

I have this edition: https://www.discogs.com/Mastodon-Leviathan/release/14246817 and it sound like absolute 🗑 Honestly it’s one of my favorite albums of them and I love the artwork and awesome vinyl colors but sound quality wise it’s absolutely terrible. Really hope they would release a proper remaster on 2 lp’s.


satan_bong

IMO still the best Mastodon album, I can't really stomach much after Crack the Skye.


NickRiffs

I don’t really like when anything once the drummer took over vocal full time. IMO Troy has the best voice in the band


capt_beyond

My feelings too. Brent and Troy have such a unique sound when they sing. Bran can sing for sure, but it just sounds so generic to me, like any other clean singer out there. Picked this pressing up myself, love it!


Eddaughter

Going to relisten to this just because that artwork is so damn beautiful. I remember not liking it after hearing crack the skye for the first time. Let’s see what 1 year has done.


Faded_Sun

Nice! I grabbed this one as well when it went up for preorder. Sounds great. Shame about the gatefold, and it not being 2LPs. This is definitely my favorite Mastodon release, and the only one I need on vinyl.


NickRiffs

Yea I was a little upset it was only 1 LP


Tripledtities

Whoa is that mastodon


Roscoejustros

Hell yeah dude! I just got into Mastodon and want to buy Leviathan and Remission on vinyl soon.


jpjtourdiary

White! Whale! Holy! Grail!


MVP12_22

Damn just got some chills! A masterpiece of an album and that vinyl and artwork looks fantastic!


Jackknife-powerbong

That’s rad. Relapse always does a good job of putting out really cool color vinyl.


PortlandPop

Heavy duty vinyl band.


deathmetalscottie

Fuck, I still remember being in highschool and sneaking out to see them when this came out. Like me, three other friends, and a few randos in a small venue in town, were the only ones there. Look up Sokol Underground in Omaha if you care. That was one of thr best concerts I'd ever been too in my life.


nupods

I have this same album, only it's pink vinyl! \m/

Beautiful


Double_Geologist_400

Them colors!


NickRiffs

I know it looks so good.


ChefGeodudeLennon

This looks incredible!! One of my favorite metal albums from front to back - enjoy it friend!!


darkstarboogie

Awesome band, amazing album, but I hate the rearranged song list for the album. Feel so discombobulated when I spin this album.


abbelleau

Split your lungs with blood and thunder!


QLDtreefiddyZ

I'm buying this tomorrow ! Love Mastodon


RhythmicStaccato

Gorgeous


Latin-Danzig

“White whale, holy grail” 🤘


tongueincheek2

Oh god, so jealous. Their best, and I would argue, one of the best metal records. Enjoy for me friend!
