DISCOG DISSECTION: Mastodon, "From Remission to Marrow Deep"

 

🔱 Artist: Mastodon (USA)

📝 This is a crude deep dive into Mastodon's catalogue following the release of “Marrow Deep”. While I'd always known the band, I'd never spent much time with their albums and pretty much written them off. It was only after hearing “Marrow Deep” that the band's catalogue really started to click for me. Listening stats provide some additional context, but familiarity with certain albums, as well as spending more time with newer releases, may be reflected in the play counts. Despite the ranking order, I genuinely enjoy every album here.
