Mastodon Continues Quest To Bankrupt Me

Mastodon Insider, Packaging

detail_royaleditionSeriously, what the fuck, Mastodon? I already spent $40 plus shipping on the “tunnel book” edition of Crack the Skye. Now you’re taking pre-orders on a “Royal Edition” (I have no idea why it’s called that) in brand new gold-stamped packaging and artwork with a cool warthog lithograph, all designed by the incomparable Paul Romano. It looks hawt.

I want it so bad, but can’t bring myself to spend another $40 on the same album for another deluxe packaging edition. Come on, loyal Insiders, buy Uncle Dan one of these for the holidays. I’ll trade you…((shuffles through prize closet))… a Tony Robbins self-help DVD! Why do we have this?

    dude, i will totally be picking this up. This is one of their better albums, Blood Mountain didnt really do it for me. It was good, but not this good.

    This ablum is awesome, but not as raw as Lifesblood.
