A previous reviewer called this album "stupid", but in a good a way. And that's exactly right. It's LaMonte Young in a Slayer t-shirt. It's minimalism for a guy in a jacked-up Gremlin. It's getting to know one riff so well that at the twenty minute mark it feels like the two of you, riff and human, are celebrating your 50th Wedding anniversary.

It's completely rad. It's a frigging hour long song about High Priests making a frigging weed run in ancient Judea. That is awesome. It's art. I'm not kidding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do Not Fail to Perceive the Awesomeness, June 8, 2005

This is simply delicious sludge. Never before has pretty much one note sounded so good. Well, there is the occasional guitar solo, but then it's back to a sheer wall of Sabbath-esque amplitude. The term "concrete" has been used in other reviews to characterize Sleep's crude, tremendous sound, and I concur. This ridiculously long song just pounds your skull, like a giant, angry gorilla clobbering you with a cement truck, over and over again. Only, in a good way. If that makes any sense to you, buy it and you will Perceive the Awesomeness.
