“More Than I Could Chew” is the fourth track off of Mastodon’s ninth LP Hushed and Grim. Reaching nearly 7 minutes of runtime, the song seems to be describing some aspects of the mourning process, namely the guilt/shame, the doubt, the anger, the grief.

[Verse 1: Brann Dailor]

[Outro: Brann Dailor]
Say when
And I'll come running back
Say when
And I'll come running back
Say when
And I'll come running back
Say when
And I'll come running back

Brann Dailor:
That’s a big Bill riff. I really drove it straight on the drums and I didn’t deviate too much from that, which is a little bit different for me. I’m more of a frantic player, usually. The kick pattern also opened up a lane for me to sing over the top of it. I don’t think Bill was real...
