Jex Thoth - Jex Thoth

Really interestiing psychedelic doom rock/metal.

Kinda good but many of the songs are just forgettable IMO. I think the second album is superior in this aspect; it has more quality songs that you wanna listen again. "Separated At Birth" and "The Damned And Divine" * these work for me but the rest of em are pretty much mediocre songs. It's not bad though, I actually like this sound much like SubRosa's debut (which I think sounds similar to this), but these two albums seem to be the same qualitywise: mostly average with a couple of better tracks.

* TBH this whole "Equinox Suite" is pretty good, but only this last part I consider as great.

But wasnt this a bit heavier? The last one goes too much pop in my ears even though its good.

Sure, heavier and clearly more doom too. I don't mind the change in their sound/genres if it means some kind of improvement, and in this case I think as in better song writing.
