Coalesce- Absent in Death. Starts with just a guitar and builds into a heavy plodding sludge. Perfect run starter. Who would of thought that Coalesce would release 2 great records after 10 off?
Cult of Luna- Watchtower. Another plodding slab of heavy. This dude has such a harsh voice.
Struck by Lightning- Collection of Teeth. This sounds like something that he would of done back when he was in Mouth of the Architect. Held out chords with a pretty piano lead part. Doesn't really fit with the Mastodon feel that the rest of the record has but it's a good jam none-the-less.
Young Widows- Old Skin. RIFFS!
Mastodon- Ole' Nessie. More RIFFS. Just played a bit slower. Mastodons first 2 LPs are unfuckwithable.
Down- Lifer. Thought I'd give this a second go. Sweet southern fried sabbath riffage. This really satisfied my inner 15 year old Pantera fan.

Metallica- Blackened. They need to break up because they will NEVER even come close to replicating the first 4. Break up.
Shrinebuilder- The Architect. While there are some seismicly heavy parts this whole thing just sounds a bit disjointed.
