Also liked their earlier stuff more, but still enjoy most of their discography. My ranking definitely shifts around a bit depending on the day, but:

1. Leviathan/Blood Mountain
2. Once More Round the Sun (my hot take ig)
3. Crack the Skye
4. Remission
5. Hushed and Grim
6. The Hunter
7. Emperor

Cold Dark Place could probably go above Hushed, but haven’t listened to either much, same with Call. My biggest issue with Emperor is that it’s the only mastodon album my dad likes/tolerates, so I’ve listened to it in the car way too much for an album I think is just ok

Dark Souls, kinda. Got DS2 when it was pretty new, and couldn’t get into it at all. Then I tried DS1 years later and absolutely loved it. So I tried 2 again, and it still didn’t click. Then 3 released, loved it to bits, played through 1 again, tried 2 again, SotFS this time, and I still hate that game. The way everything moves in 2 is just awful, and I will die on the hill that it’s a poorly made mess, from the ground up.

The other souls games are great though. Still have to get around to BB since the frame rate killed it for me on the ps4, but it works great in emulator now, as well as DeS

Read ages ago that at MIT or wherever they taught rocket science they would say “it’s just rocket science, it’s not music theory.” No clue if that’s actually true tho

In however many years it takes for this to affect me, I will surely go hungry, but so will the fuckers who deny that this is happening, and so in my inevitable suffering there will be a crumb of satisfaction
