Mastodon is easily the best concept metal band in my opinion. Each album tells a very in depth story, but not near as in depth as Crack the Skye. This album is named after Brann Dailor's, the drummer, sister who OD'd. Her name was Skye. Also Brent Hinds went into a coma after a little scuffle with SOAD's own Shavo Odadjin and during his coma he explained that he had an "out of body experience", which helped create this masterpiece of an album. Mastodon took a turn for the best with this album with sweet jam sessions and lengthy tracks. It's a must have for the collection.
