	I love it. I love to play it really loud while everyone else on the teeeeny tiny top floor of my house is trying to sleep. Oh, the glee of screeching, fast-forwarding, staticky, distorted spoken nonsense so very manipulated that it's unrecognizable as human (the crazy screeching sounds do have some human vocals mixed in). At 2am. Gleeeeeee.

No Picture Daniel Average	#2 by Daniel Rainbolt at Sep 29, 2007 at 1:19 PM EST
	Mastodon is the fucking greatest metal band I've heard in a long ass time, I can't beleive it took me until Blood Mountain to give these guys a listen. This song is fucking awesome, it's absolutely insane and I fucking love it. I'm so gonna teach myslef how to play this, and find the tabs for what i cant get.

No Picture CJ Wanna Be	#3 by CJ West at Oct 3, 2007 at 2:09 PM EST
	Everytime I hear this song I think of a "boss battle" where Bladecatcher is a boss that the hero has to defeat before moving on to the "next level." Anyway, it's fucking class.

No Picture Cicely aka Icic Badass	#4 by Cicely aka Icicles and CSkank Shankle (if u stalk me i will shoot you.) at Oct 5, 2007 at 3:31 AM EST
	Bitchin' vibes mi bredren. I massy agree. Concur to tha slurr. This is the song describing the "Hero's" situation of just recieveing new perspective from the Cysquatch encounter. Leaping from the labrynth with energy to confront his next obstacle a little Ninja Shennanigenns becomes happenstance. ShennaNinjagenns, if you will. So now imagine a badass, survivalist-gong-fu-genius pincered by a Koga-Nin sect of assassins -ducking darts, tackstars, and arrows, catching deathcuts between his index and mid fing gigglin' in a field of high brush with a slight incline headed towards an 'inviting' forest...

	this track is completely fucked up! In the good way that is.

No Picture Bassdude Average	#6 by Bassdude at Oct 9, 2007 at 4:36 AM EST
	i think this actually means a story of the crazy strange encounters you will experience on the climb up blood mountain

No Picture michael Wanna Be	#7 by michael Dittrich at Oct 16, 2007 at 9:16 AM EST
	there are blatetently lyrics to this song cos i swear i can hear some dialect, but i have absolutly no fucking idea as to what the fuck they are. n why are there wierd noises at like the end and beging to evry song?

No Picture ♥brian Lead Player	#8 by ♥brian♥ ******** at Oct 16, 2007 at 10:39 AM EST
	Yeah, I agree with whoever said that this song was about the "Hero" gaining a new perspective on his journey due to the Cysquatch encounter, and then some. Awesome song, though. AMAZING live.
