lol, there's nothing particularly bad about mastodon's lyrics when taken as a whole. It's a little off in places, but what isn't? If anything, Mastodon show considerably more evidence of literacy than mostly all other mainstream metal bands.

Far as the singing goes, Hinds may not have the best voice but, like with Billy Corgan, it's the imperfections that end up contributing to the overall sound (that is, for those who like the sound). A good voice isn't really required to get the job done. It just has to work.

Ultimately though, it's the range of ideas they play with that sets them apart from most of the competition.
