Absolutely gutted at hearing the news about Brent Hinds. Him leaving Mastodon was already difficult to process. I've read a lot of harsh comments about Brent's ability, but this song is a powerful and brilliant piece, the guy was unique. Rest in peace Brent.

I've also been listening to this album since I was 16, no other album had such a massive impact in terms of new sounds to my ears.
"I’ve been listening to it since I was 16. I remember thinking, ‘there are other people out there who have these strange ideas, but it makes total sense.’ That was refreshing because it made me realise that you can do what you want in songs."
