Mastodon - Emperor Of Sand - VINYL LP
About this product
Limited double 180gm vinyl LP pressing. 2017 from the heavy metal titans. Emperor Of Sand finds Mastodon returning to a deeply imaginative and complex conceptual storyline that ponders the nature of time. Threading together the myth of a man sentenced to death in a majestically malevolent desert, the band conjures the grains of a musical and lyrical odyssey slipping quickly through a cosmic hourglass. Emperor of Sand is like the grim reaper, says drummer/vocalist Brann Dailor. Sand represents time. If you or anyone you know has ever received a terminal diagnosis, the first thought is about time. Invariably, you ask, 'How much time is left?' We're reflecting on mortality, adds bassist/vocalist Troy Sanders. To that end, the album ties into our entire discography. It's 17 years in the making, but it's also a direct reaction to the last two years. We tend to draw inspiration from very real things in our lives. Emperor Of Sand was recorded at The Quarry Recording Studio in Kennesaw, just outside Mastodon's hometown of Atlanta, with producer Brendan O'Brien (Pearl Jam, Neil Young, AC/DC, Rage Against The Machine), who first worked with Mastodon on their seminal 2009 album Crack The Skye. Album Tracks 1. Sultan's Curse 2. Show Yourself 3. Precious Stones 4. Steambreather 5. Roots Remain 6. Word to the Wise 7. Ancient Kingdom 8. Clandestiny 9. Andromeda 10. Scorpion Breath 11. Jaguar God

Double vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. Before These Crowded Streets is the third studio album by Grammy award-winning rock band, Dave Matthews Band. Originally released in spring of 1998, the album received both critical and commercial success. Dethroning the Titanic soundtrack, which sat atop the Billboard 200 for 16 consecutive weeks, Before These Crowded Streets was certified triple-platinum and began the band's impressive streak of six No. 1 albums in a row. The LA Times said On this album, the band places an even higher premium on musical proficiency. Songs such as InchRapunzelInch and InchThe StoneInch are built around vertiginous polyrhythms and serpentine riffs that dart around Matthew's clenched vocals, yet always manage to lock into an enjoyable groove. Album Tracks 1. Pantala Naga Pampa 2. Rapunzel 3. The Last Stop 4. Don't Drink the Water 1. Stay (Wasting Time) 2. Halloween 3. The Stone 1. Crush 2. The Dreaming Tree 1. Pig 2. Spoon
Limited 180gm vinyl LP repressing. Digitally remastered edition of this 1982 album by the hard rock quartet. Diver Down was the band's fifth album, which ended up going four-times platinum. With vocals by the wildly entertaining David Lee Roth, the guitar masterwork of Eddie Van Halen and the irreplaceable rhythm section of drummer Alex Van Halen and bassist/backing vocalist Michael Anthony, Van Halen were one of the late '70s and early '80s greatest Rock 'n' Roll bands. Mastering engineer Chris Bellman, who remastered the original albums at Bernie Grundman Mastering Studios, was enlisted for this new version. In order to produce the original sound the band intended, Bellman cut straight from the quarter-inch tapes. Album Tracks 1. Where Have All the Good Times Gone! 2. Hang 'Em High 3. Cathedral 4. Secrets 5. Intruder 6. (Oh) Pretty Woman 1. Dancing in the Street 2. Little Guitars (Intro) 3. Little Guitars 4. Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now) 5. The Full Bug 6. Happy Trails
