The Hunter is a pitch for the mainstream - but it doesn’t compromise on Mastodon’s core ambition.
The Hunter is a collection of songs that inadvertently expands their repertoire and capabilities while they turn off their heads and let their fingers tell the story.
They’ve never made the same album twice, and luckily, that streak continues with The Hunter.
Freed from the confines of elements and concept albums, Mastodon sounds fresher than ever.
Where The Hunter lacks conceptual cohesion, it's varied and accessible enough to catapult Mastodon right to the front of the modern heavy metal pack.
The record works best as a catchy guilty-pleasure party album.
