Performer Notes:

After the spacy triumph that was Crack the Skye, Mastodon are returning to their sludgier, more riff-oriented roots on their fifth studio album, The Hunter. Shying away from the far-out prog of their last album, this album should deliver a dose of the raw, driving power that made Leviathan a modern metal classic.

Professional Reviews: Rolling Stone (p.68) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "THE HUNTER demonstrates how contemporary radio rock can still be made with imagination, precision and a majestic sense of force."

Rolling Stone (p.72) - Ranked #38 in Rolling Stone's '50 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "[A] killer rock-radio record."

Spin (p.73) - "Songs like 'Curl of the Burl,' the galloping 'Specterlight,' and the kinetic, catchy 'Blasteroid' keep the riffs simple without lapsing into banality."

Entertainment Weekly (p.74) - "[The] hybrids mutate awesomely, creating one burly, beastly adrenaline spike." -- Grade: A-

Alternative Press (p.125) - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "Execution matches ambition in the beautiful 'Creature Lives,' which adds a new dimension to the band's classic rock side..."
