Sleep's Dopesmoker is the sonic equivalent of powerwalking a marathon through a valley filled with green Jello. Like trying to hike 26.2 miles through lime-colored molasses, listening to this album in its entirety is slow going, lasts forever, and is a physically and mentally draining endeavor. While this album has only one actual new studio track on it, that one track happens to be a longer listen than sitting through than a double header of Slayer's Reign In Blood followed by Divine Intervention. It chugs along, and just keeps going and going and going. I imagine you can probably figure out the symbolism behind "green." Read more ›› |

Got to about the 20 minute mark and quit... Too much to handle.

Well, I made it through. Man that was a journey, but it was worth it. I started to love the vocals too. Turns out this is pretty decent.

I concur to what dude said in Guitar world. This is fucking face-melting with amount of riffs generates heat via 3 songs.

This is something else, I've gotta say. Similar to Electric Wizard's Dopethrone obviously. Can't say I like it, but I respect the effort

Fired this up in the garage over the weekend and really was in the zone for it. For an album that everyone says is one riff for an hour, there sure is a lot of subtle change and build ups throughout.
