It's got a nice, heavy sound - but Matt Pike's other band, High on Fire, exists - so I don't need this album.
It's a got a few moments where something almost happens, but they only seem refreshing because the rest is such a non event. Dopesmoker indeed - but I don't touch that stuff so...

I love High On Fire and I love Sleep, but they're two completely different moods for me. I can't imagine substituting one for the other. Where High On Fire are high octane rock 'n roll that makes me want to drive fast, Sleep, especially on
Dopesmoker, are vast and almost meditative. The mood of the album is similar to Tuvan throat singing to me. It's not surprising that two thirds of Sleep went on to form the
very meditative band Om.
