Giant Squid, The Ichthyologist

US, 2009

With new Mastodon I have had little time to explore Giant Squid's new album, but from first impression they are going for a more mellow sound on this one. I miss the heavier moments of Metridium Field, but the songwriting and vocals are more diverse than on previous efforts.
