    5/5 awesome pressing. Sounds great. Maybe could have been a little more spatial in the mixing side of things; its mix is pretty upfront and you don't get that stereoscopic sound like from some albums, but damn that's a nitpick because this thing sounds great. No compression at all. I can hear every instrument so distinctly. And the jacket is rad too. Heavy heavy gatefold. Love this thing. Now to get the rest of the Mastodon 45s...

      my CD sounds GREAT!
      a band that continues-on this recording-to be an enjoyable listening experience! inventive, melodic, grooves, heavy, light - going in unforeseen directions & even some soloing/jamming! improved vocals! Like the Pink Floyd lick nod on #13 & throughout the recording.

        Can anyone confirm this vinyl being louder than the original vinyl releases? Mine are so quiet even turned all the way up.
        • RecordAdDictionary's avatar
          In a break with tradition, the band, who previously worked with rock stalwarts Brendan O'Brien and Matt Bayles, opted to have Mike Elizondo, whose credits include Eminem and 50 Cent, helm The Hunter - and the results are magnificent. All of the group's mind-melting riffs and rhythms are intact, and if anything, they're magnified, glorified, made somehow more ginormous. It's Mastodon made digestible for the whole world...and the world just might be the better for it

            The 45 rpm Mastodon pressings are consistently a step up from their other versions. Just a shame they're always limited runs.
