One time, shortly after a breakup, I went to see !!! in the hopes of being cheered up by jumping around to some dance punk. The opener was SunnO))), who I had never even heard of at the time. I still think this was a really weird pairing of bands. Anyway, with the mood I was in, glacially slow, heavy-ass, beatless, melancholy guitar drones were the last thing in the world I was in the mood for, and so I came away from the show hating SunnO))). For quite a while I considered them the worst band I had ever heard—in fact, they kind of became my benchmark for awful bands. But the funny thing is that I thought of them as the nadir of music long enough that it started to make me curious about them. Eventually, I got so curious that, two years after I had seen them, I bought one of their albums. Not only did I end up liking it, and getting more of their albums, but reading about them is what introduced me to Earth, who ended up being among my favorite bands.
