Triple Shot of Anguish.......2006-08-12

This three-cd set gets you a decent B-sides collection (_Live Till You Die_), which is mainly noteworthy for several tracks featuring Mastodon impresarios Bill Kelliher (bass) and Brann Dailor (drums). What you are really paying for here is their cultic masterpiece _Sadness Will Prevail_. _Live Till You Die_ is fine, but it's not of a piece, good for a few chuckles and head-bangs. You won't be chuckling much listening to _Sadness_, so here goes:

4.5 stars

I love everything about this _Sadness Will Prevail_, EXCEPT for the lo-fi production values. I wonder if Steve Austin keeps things lo-fi to keep some of their original indie cred to them, keeping them from being orthodox members of the extreme metal crowd.

Really, he wouldn't have to worry. I remember seeing Austin as a wee lad opening for I don't remember who at the Uptown Bar in Minneapolis. It wasn't near as Metal, but it was all the excruciating anguish and dissonance that you hear on _Sadness Will Prevail_. Fast forward fifteen years and I am a full-blown Mastodon fanatic and I find out that drummer extraordinaire Brann Dailor honed his chops with Austin. And then I work my way to this album--HOLY OF UNHOLIES!!! These guys are all over the place. Crimsonesque violins, a song that features endless bell tree and a harp being BEATEN underneath Austin's visceral imprecations ("Butterflies"--nothing like it), acoustic laments on acid, oh yeah and some of the extremest metal/hardcore you'll ever hear. These guys are everywhere. I'm shocked that Austin has managed to manifest such a formidable output when he nurses such a damaged psyche.

And I'm only on disc X of this tour de force. Nothing can prepare you for what occurs on the second disc, disc Y. The experimental tag gets put on way too many things in the rock world (Radiohead rarely experiments--they compose; ditto Sepultura, Deerhoof, and so forth). Disc Y, on the other hand, is like listening to a chemist let loose in a laboratory with every substance known too humankind. And the results are just as scary with Austin seeing what he comes up with. The interminable "Never Answer the Phone" is especially freaky, disconcerting, and fascinating. Just buy this CD, set aside three hours (two-and-a-half to listen and a half hour to recover), and tell me what album you have ever heard of quite this scope and reach.

While this won't be making Rolling Stone's Top 100 Albums of All Time any time soon, it certainly stands on its own in the history of rock. Austin makes gold out of s**t over and over here and he has a formidable cast to back him up, especially Marshall Killpatric on drums (best drumming on "Butterflies"). The only reason a person wouldn't like this is because they want their music comfortable and safe. Otherwise, if one pays attention and gets over the lo-fi production values, there is no experience like this out there.

listen to willpower.......2005-09-16

i love titd. this could have been their strongest work, but it sounds like such crap i just can't listen too it. very creative, but jesus... it's just so messy and noisy. hopefully their next effort will be better, and more concise. this album unfortunately will not make any new TITD fans.

An experience that's for damn sure............2005-05-11

I just got through listening to both discs X and Y and am now in the middle of the Sadness Will Prevail (theme). I had originally bought this about 2 1/2 years ago and mostly just listened to disc X over and over again. Now, going through a huge stash of almost forgotten CDs, I'm going to be playing this one (both discs) a lot more and more. Originally buying this and thinking it was going to be an extreme metal album (which at times it is) it is actually more of an industrial/experimental noise album. Which works for me because I like both genres. Anyway, I'm not going to spend anymore time trying to categorize it because it's in a league of it's own. Disc X contains more of the hardcore/metal aspects of the album, while disc Y goes more for the ambience/experimental noise aspect of it. Why four stars, well, I did lose interest at about the 5 minute mark of Never Answer the Phone, and thereafter until the beautiful Sadness Will Prevail theme, and some of Steve Austin's clean vocals can be kind of painful to listen to (was that intentional or no??) One more thing, I'm sure some of the repetition of the songs was intentional, but I just didn't dig it; some of them could've ended far earlier (the aforemented "Never Answer the Phone" and "Control the Media" as well as "The Descent") but thats more personal taste than anything else. Amazon seriously needs to revamp its rating system cuz i would've definitely given this a more of a 4.25 or even a close 4.5. I love the experimental noise passages, most of the hardcore and tech-metal sections, wasn't too crazy about the over-over-long songs, and abhorred the production(which a lot love, but I didn't dig too much) At any rate, pick this up, actually LISTEN to the f*cking thing (that goes oout to "Jason"...giving a whole rating based on one song) in its entirety, and give a fair rating based on what you think.

i don't know if i will ever be able to give a good review..........2004-11-01

...so here goes. this album is like extreme metal having a nasty break up with japenese noise and prog rock, and being in hell for a long, long time. i can see why a lot of people who like their other albums might not like this, it's long, experimental, and really hard to get into. the production seems lo fi at first, and then you realize it is really quite complex. i won't spend more time saying what everyone else has already said, but i will say that this is the most sickening, unrelenting album i have ever heard, and the hardest to get into. i don't recomend it to close minded 'metal heads.' get it if you want a chalanging listen, it makes godspeed you black emperor! sound like everyday rock and roll.

Gods.......2004-08-25

Today is the dead's sadness will prevail is an album that shoulnd be listing to unless your a true fan or you will be send to some asylum place. The music in this cd is beyond anything you've heard before... Realy scary and damn disturbing and trust me, for some one who listings to nothing but extreme gore/death/grind this is the defenition of true disturbing and scary. I recommend.
