  This was the first time in years I bought an album based merely on the cover. I just can’t get enough of it – thanks for sharing the name, I thought it might have been done by Tim Biskup as well.

It’s so bizarre that it’s epic.

Eerie how much this reminds me of a hallucination I had in college…

I loves me some Mastodon but that video seems like the kind of visualization plugin that will just come standard with Winamp in a couple years.

I’m not sure if scaling and opacity changes can really be considered animation. Despite some of the images being interesting the video is a one trick pony as far as action and I can’t tell if there is any story going on. I like the song OK. Best Mastodon songs IMHO are Capilarian Crest, Colony of Birchmen, and Megalodon.

That was cool! A lot of haters on Youtube though. Too bad MTV will show MDK and not this!

Why is Jim Flora disciple Biskup directing a headbanger video? The YouTube comments sound like the posters routinely huff industrial cleaning products.

Looks very amateurish. A simple zoom in effect played out throughout the video. Kind of gets boring. Looks like its very half-a$$. The pictures themselves look pretty cool though.
