I always wonder what makes some artists perform cover songs in a skin tight replica of the original, rather than taking advantage of their native style (or genre). I thought of this as I listened to this version of the ol' Zeppelin staple, waiting in vain for Mastodon to do something Mastodony. "Any second now," I thought, "they are going to break out the jackhammers and break this song open." Nope. They play it safe and unimaginative all the way through. At least Heart brought out a gospel choir to save their version.
