There’s a place in my heart for Incubus and that’s who this new album, 8 is for. However, If you weren’t a fan before, you won't be changing your mind
Mastodon: Emperor of Sand | Still Carving Their Own Path
Vocally Emperor of Sand is the strongest Mastodon have been. None of the band members are natural vocalists and it’s taken work, but that work has paid off.
