The album closes on the corrosive epic doomy "Diamond In The Witch House" by far the longest song on the album, clocking in just below 8 minutes long and by far the most atmospheric. "Asleep In The Deep" and "Halloween" are mid-tempo rockers that thunder along in incredible technical guitar riffing. The track "Aunt Lisa" features harsh vocals, something quite rare for Mastodon these days & also pays homage to the classic Ramonoes song "Blitzkreig Bop". The album goes into a more softer and progressive style from "Chimes" onwards, similar so the chronological order of their previous albums. You then have "Chimes at Midnight" which paints a stunning introductory landscape and features some exceptional musicianship. However, with that being said, this is Mastodon we're talking about, nothing is completely conventional, there's some very interesting drumming and guitar work going on throughout, some fantastic riffs, such as the one on "High Road" which happens to be the first mega riff of the album. Tread Lightly sets the stage for the first half of the album by focusing heavily on huge sing-along chorus anthems and less so on their unconventional song-structures and more progressive elements of the old days. #MASTODON ONCE MORE AROUND THE SUN VINYL SERIES#The album starts of with "Tread Lightly" (inspired by TV series "Breaking Bad") featuring a very crisp guitar sound and a rather conventional song structure, picking up from where "The Hunter" left of. Released 3 years after their 5th studio album "The Hunter" which was not only a commercial success but also managed to received universal acclaim and ended up on many end of year lists, "The Hunter" was also the first none-concept Mastodon album & Once More Round The Sun follows this trend.
