Yeah

... that came out.
5:58
And I sort of not, I wouldn't say I'm not metal on the head, but I didn't buy much new ...
6:03
There weren't any new metal bands that I was, was really buying- And then I think Christmas 2004, Kerrang!'s albums of the year thing came out with, you know, 20 albums of the year and the, the staff albums of the year thing.
6:17
And the number one was Leviathan by Mastodon.
6:21
And I was like, "Oh." And I was like, "I kind of remember the name of that band," but I didn't really know anything about them.
6:25
And then I got some, I got, like, Virgin record vouchers [clears throat] for Christmas, and so I was like, "I'm gonna go out and buy something." And I saw it kind of in the sale after Christmas.
