Maybe when I'm a little more into doom I'll be able to appreciate this more. Or if I were off my tits on weed But for me this type of doom (stoner doom you'd call it, I guess) just drags on a bit much. Nice music to have on in the background of a hot-boxing room though

I find it weird that so many people go apeshit over this empty album. I really don't like it. That guitar sound is utterly horrible, it's nothing but wasteful fuzz and more distorted fuzz, which people seem to misconstrue as heavy for some reason (to me it's very weak and thin sounding - no depth or oomph), along with overly reverbed vocals. Very unpleasant to my ears, and as the guy above me said, way too long and overdrawn for what's here. Definitely up there for me as one of the all time overraters. I'll stick with the superbly balanced, and genuinely stonery, Witchcult Today, thanks.

D'aw, thanks babe.
For one second I thought of answering back with a more detailed answer but I found it a waste of time for both of us since we clearly have nothing to discuss about this album besides how much we don't agree with each other. So instead, I'll end this could-have-been debate on a happy note and say: Hot naked redhead.
Yeah.
PS: Are you doing the whole "people can't see that I'm online" thing again?

Yeah I'm trying not to spend as much time on here at the moment so I figured out of sight, out of mind. Not really working that well though...
Hot naked redheads win every debate. Especially mass-debates. Huh huh.

The only thing we can discuss is how wrong Joe is... and then he will just say that we are overrating the album based on some personal feelings towards the album.
To me the guitar tone and the distorded vocals are fan-fucking-tastic.

Yeah this album rules, and features some of the band's best songs. The title track, 'Funeralopolis' and Lovecraftian 'Weird Tales' are all superbly heavy.

^Agreed. The guitars are so fuzzy it's like listening to TV static.

From what I've listened to, I feel the same way, though I haven't listened to enough of either to give it an accurate rating yet. The stuff I've heard from Witchcult Today was just more interesting to me than Dopethrone.

Meh, you are sexy weird so you are excused. I personally can't see what the aimless comment is all about... Songs like Weird Tales just have a jam feeling but I wouldn't call it aimless.

I agree. Although I still really enjoy this album unlike you, it has "grown off" me a little. I'm not a fan of stoner or drone, but I have always liked this album a lot since I first heard it.
I was fan, still am of stoner and stoner doom, but this is more less dronish influenced. I like more melodic riffs, riffs, where you can hear some melodies,

This album indeed has some drone elements, and it's all the better for it. A masterclass in heavy fuzzy doom riffs and incredible songwriting. Songs go for as long as they need to, but I don't see them being too long at all. IDK

Maybe it's just me because I'm incredibly biased and dislike stoner metal, but I thought this was an awful album. I just don't think it's heavy enough to be doom, nor do I appreciate it going into drone territories and hearing the watered down vocal effects. Like with every stoner band I listen to it just musically sounds boring. However the only redeeming quality I have about this album are the lyrics. I thought it was really well written. But as it is, it's definitely overrated and boring.

It's great music if I'm in the right mood and right environment to really appreciate it, it is clearly aimed at stoners to appreciate more than anything.
It's too drone, and the guitar tone is seriously fuzzy, which does my head in after a while, otherwise it's not a bad stoner album.

This is dope!
Ultra-heavy riffs create a great doom atmosphere along with fantastic lyrics! The grimy production perfectly reawakens the charm of early Black Sabbath or Pentagram.
I can see why some people would call the album boring or aimless. Some songs do go on for far too long. But, overall, I like it
And "Funeralopolis" has to be one of the greatest songs of all time - that main riff and the apocalyptic lyrics - simply divine
