At tonight’s 15th Annual Webby Awards, James Murphy & crew picked up the “Artist Of The Year” trophy, not for having “the worst website ever” but because they’ve “fully harnessed the power and scope of the Internet as creative visionaries and musicians” by livestreaming their MSG farewell gig in April.

Crack The Skye's clearly the least immediate release in Mastodon's oeuvre. Which isn't to say it's bad. It just takes a few more close listenings (and, as you'll soon discover, an acceptance of their increased progginess.) Instead of the raw crustiness you found, even amid the most ambitious arcs of Remission, Leviathan, and Blood Mountain, Crac...

Metric are lightening up. A little. While the Toronto-based band's music has always leaned toward the upbeat-- shock-treatment new wave, dance, and rock-- its worldview is usually anything but.
