Bill Kelliher (guitars) about Crack The Skye: "This is the record we've always wanted to make. We finally made it! I just got back from the dentist and listened to it on my iPod and I started hearing more things that I hadn't noticed before. It was great. Awesome. Basically, "Wow! This is really us!" It's kind of hard to believe. We've come a very long way since our very first EP, so a huge sense of accomplishment came over me. I was thrilled. I'm really proud of everyone and the job we all did. I was a fan of early Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and King Crimson. They would have 15- or 20-minute songs and you wouldn't even notice the length. It was like a movement — something real happening before my eyes to watch a band like that. All of us come from that school. I know we're all in our 30s, but we can all relate. Kids today need that. They need a good dose, not copied from the '70s, but new versions. Progressive on top of progressive, on the roots of Mastodon, still those heavy things and have your fans grow with you. There's no formula. We can play any style we want for as long as we all feel it. And on this record there's a lot more singing and harmonizing, less screaming. We're honing our skills in our music. More hard rock than dirty Southern metal. Some bands can be pigeonholed and stay in the genre they came up with. But we needed to really step it up this time. We just made a better record than the last record and that's what we want to do the rest of our lives..."
